Our work in Venezuela

We have been operating in the country since 1998 in the Exploration & Production and Refining & Marketing and Chemical sectors, but negotiations began in 1963 when we made our first agreements in both sectors. Through Ecofuel SpA, we hold a stake in Supermetanol CA which operates a methanol-producing plant.
