00:00that can listen to us, also in the Orinoco place, the executive as well, and the workers
00:14of PDVSA in general. We have Comrade Minister of Oil and Hydrocarbons, Delcy Rodriguez,
00:24and also President of PDVSA. I wanted to take part in this day that you are carrying out
00:34so that I can supervise the whole process of the plan of total independence that is going very well.
00:45We're working on it, we're producing, and we're giving everything for our country.
00:51We expect nothing from no one but from ourselves.
00:58So I would like to give the word to Comrade Delcy Rodriguez, also Minister of Hydrocarbons
01:06and Vice President of the nation, so that she can give us her report today, May 30th.
01:16Good afternoon, President. Well, as you were saying, we are here with the board of PDVSA,
01:25with its president, and also the president and other authorities of PDVSA.
01:33Precisely, and these care-quarters we are controlling and we are doing the supervision
01:42and we're controlling the whole activity of the oil company. We are following the plan that you order,
01:49as you said, of total independence. And we have good news for the country's president.
01:55We are at this moment connected with seven mixed companies that were affected by the coercitive unilateral measures.
02:07But as we have informed the country, the productive plan of the hydrocarbons industry is continuing with no alterations.
02:17just as you ordered with our own efforts, with our own initiatives, with the initiative of the workers of PDVSA.
02:27So, Mr. President, we are here for you to evaluate, for you to ask your questions.
02:34We are all here to participate in this situational board. And well, we are open for you to evaluate and also report
02:48and show the country how this productive process is in order.
02:55Exactly. Well, you already know that our philosophy is very clear. Production, sovereign production, with our own effort.
03:10We have learned from our most difficult moments when the far-right, fascist right, asked for sanctions
03:23that came down like missiles on our hydrocarbon industry. And we learned. And now we are stronger in this aspect,
03:35in the technical workers' aspect, in the management aspect, so that we can not only sustain our production,
03:48but also grow our production. And that's the most important, to keep on growing with our own efforts.
03:57To the international investors, all the guarantees. We are serious people. We follow institutionality and legality.
04:11We are not improvising anything in the worst sense of that word. We are state people.
04:22And we are very clear that we need to comply with all the agreements, all the contracts.
04:33Venezuela. Venezuela is not going to stop anything before threats, before measures. And Venezuela is not depending on any license.
04:42Nobody, nobody gives us licenses to exist, to breathe. We are free from threats, free from licenses, free from coercion.
04:53And we continue with work and being productive in a permanent way. If anyone across the world wants to come here to join us, you know it very well.
05:08You, Ms. Vice President and Minister of Hydrocarbons, President of PDVSA, you can provide and attest to this.
05:22Every meeting you are holding and the international investment know that we are a people of their word.
05:33And that we know how to work. And we have a workers class of top level in the world.
05:41That we have been perfecting their techniques, their capacities. That is our greatest pride in this hydrocarbons industry.
05:53And Venezuela, that has its main oil reserves in the world, that has the fourth gas reserves in the world,
06:04while we continue our path of development, next to the transformation that is the first one within the 13 engines,
06:17that continue to develop, and developing and generating growth and wealth to our country.
06:28Because the wealth that we are producing, where does it go? And who does it take advantage of it?
06:35It becomes housing for our elders. It becomes investment for our territories, for the projects that the people are voting on.
06:46They become investment on health infrastructure.
06:51They become investment on universities of top quality.
07:01They become housing, thousands of houses, and income for the workers.
07:09It becomes better ways of life for the whole of society, public spaces.
07:16So the wealth of the country is distributed because it is investment, as the budget for every year stipulates.
07:26The 75% of that budget to social investment.
07:30Thanks to you comrades and brothers and sisters, workers from the hydrocarbon industry in PDVSA.
07:41Thanks to you, because you are giving the best of yourself so that the country can continue growing and can continue recovering
07:54with economic prosperity and sustainable growth.
08:00So please, Comrade Delcy, I am here, just attentive to your work.
08:09Well, the first, we are going to Petropian, a mixed enterprise partner to the US company Chevron.
08:21Just as you were indicating, Mr. President, we are very attentive to that international law and we are respecting those contracts completely.
08:38And we are recognizing our own laws.
08:41We do not recognize any other jurisdictional territory.
08:45So, Ronald Marin, President of Enterprise, mixed enterprise Petropian.
08:51So you can address the precedent with how that process is coming and we continue with that, with this growth path.
09:03Delcy, once again, it's great to hear from you, Mr. President.
09:09We have a consolidated industry.
09:12Petropian is one of the highest producers in the country, as you consider this important for the economy of the nation.
09:29We are not only producing oil, but we also have a place where we continue to produce other parts of the production chain.
09:43We have an equipment and a team that guarantee all operations.
09:50So we are giving our hands and our efforts to all our international partners as well.
10:00If you work with us, we can provide all the oil for our country and we assure that this is a very high quality team.
10:13Correct, Ronald.
10:15Correct, Ronald.
10:19And let me add one thing.
10:21Petropian has been key and we want to give you a message from the whole team.
10:36We continue to fight for Venezuela.
10:38Delcy, ObregĂłn, Ronald.
10:49I want to be there so that we can meet and hug and I know of your commitment and the workers' commitment from PDVSA and all the sectors that are working there,
11:05professionals, professionals, scientific sectors, workers, technicians.
11:10And I am seeing Pedro Piar can continue growing in its production this year with all the measures that we are taking in terms of investment and logistics
11:22to continue consolidating that production and taking care of that productive process.
11:29I find it very well.
11:31The exam has been approved.
11:33Go ahead, Delcy.
11:34Go ahead, Delcy.
11:36President, if I can give you the good news that Petropian today had its highest production record in all year.
11:46Good news to you.
11:48Today, wow.
11:50Imagine that, that it's such a lucky number.
11:56Now we have seven more years and we only have growth ahead.
12:03To continue consolidating the growth of the hydrocarbon.
12:09With our own efforts, the investment that is protected by the international legality and all the contracts that we have signed so that we can continue guaranteeing the growth of the economy.
12:32I continue to insist on this topic, but I go to you now, Delcy.
12:39So I continue with this topic.
12:43Well, I would like to go to the Zulia State, to Petro-Boscan, another mixed enterprise.
12:54Our partner is also U.S. company Chevron.
13:00We have the team over there.
13:05We have the Vice President also here and he knows so much the functions of this enterprise.
13:13But President, with the good news that Venezuelan workers have over a century of expertise in this industry, hydrocarbons industry.
13:26We know that we have countries that ask you for cooperation in education and we know that our workers are among the best ones in the world.
13:42So I would like for them to give you the information.
13:47Thank you so much, Mrs. Vice President. Greetings from all our workers here.
13:54So we were live in Venezuela.
