Brazilia, Venezuela sign oil refinery agreement



Brasilia and Venezuela signed Thursday in Brasilia an agreement on jointly building an oil refinery with a total investment of 2.5 billion US dollars.

Chief executives of Venezuela's state-owned oil company Petroleos de Venezuela and Brazil's government oil company Petrobras signed the agreement with the presence of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and his Brasilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Financing of the complex will be equally split between the two companies and the refinery will be ready to operate in 44 months.

The refinery, to be built in the northeastern Brasilian state of Pernambuco, is to process up to 200,000 barrels of heavy oil daily.

I'd like to add, after seeing your comment to some other poster somewhere on this thread, "b-b-b-but Judi said....." followed by a condemnation of the information I posted, that no doubt most DU'ers are trying to juggle their ordinary private lives with moments in which they run off to check DU, etc.

Those of us who aren't doing this for a living don't have a luxury of time usually.

I look until I find something I believe covers the subject, I post a link, and I'm outta here. I can't be hanging around to wait to see if you approve it.

If you can't grasp what the association is, you could use some help. Everything I posted pointed out that there are a lot of people cranking out crap which is no where nearly truthful, for various reasons, starting right here in our own country, with scum working for the right-wing Presidents, like Cuban "exile" Otto Reich, as he did, when he overstepped the legal limits producing propaganda, and was called for it by Congress.

You need to spend less time "gifting" us with your uninformed opinions, and more time learning something about the subject matter.
