Floating Oil Platform Arrives in Venezuela From China’s Concord Project

Venezuelan authorities reported Thursday that an oil platform, operated by China Concord Resources Corp (CCRC)—the first major infrastructure project to be installed in Lake Maracaibo in years—arrived in Venezuela.

Deputy Minister for Small and Medium-Sized Industry Roigar López reported the arrival of the oil facility on social media; however, the message was later deleted. Reuters also confirmed the information.

The US $1 billion CCRC-operated project in Venezuela installed the oil platform in the waters of Lake Maracaibo, the country’s second-largest crude oil production region.

The Alula platform, a self-elevating offshore platform, departed from the Chinese port of Zhoushan, passed under the Lake Maracaibo bridge, guided by a tugboat, and headed for its final location in Lagunillas.

The Asian country’s energy company is ramping up production at two key oil fields located in western Venezuela, Lago Cinco and Lagunillas, and estimates it will reach 60,000 barrels per day by the end of 2026, up from the current 12,000 bpd.

This project translates into a major economic boost for a private Chinese company in Venezuela. The platform is the first major infrastructure project to be installed in Lake Maracaibo in years. The United States initially imposed illegal sanctions on the Venezuelan oil industry in 2017. These began with financial restrictions; the US imposed broader restrictions more openly in 2019.

In 2024, CCRC began negotiating its stake in the oil fields with state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA) under a 20-year production-sharing contract. The company has deployed Chinese personnel specialized in oil field development, with the goal of quickly reopening approximately 100 wells. PDVSA has not commented yet on the development.

Lago Cinco and Lagunillas are expected to produce a mix of light and heavy oil, with light crude destined for PDVSA and heavier crude destined for China. The Maracaibo Basin region is known for having the best quality Venezuelan light crude oil.

State-owned PDVSA has stabilized oil production at around 1 million bpd this year. It is now aiming for the 2 million bpd mark in the coming months.

DECREE ON THE MEDIA OF SOCIAL COMMUNICATIONS

INTER MIRIFICA

SOLEMNLY PROMULGATED BY

HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI

ON DECEMBER 4, 1963

INTRODUCTION

1. Among the wonderful technological discoveries which men of talent, especially in the present era, have made with God's help, the Church welcomes and promotes with special interest those which have a most direct relation to men's minds and which have uncovered new avenues of communicating most readily news, views and teachings of every sort. The most important of these inventions are those media which, such as the press, movies, radio, television and the like, can, of their very nature, reach and influence, not only individuals, but the very masses and the whole of human society, and thus can rightly be called the media of social communication.

2. The Church recognizes that these media, if properly utilized, can be of great service to mankind, since they greatly contribute to men's entertainment and instruction as well as to the spread and support of the Kingdom of God. The Church recognizes, too, that men can employ these media contrary to the plan of the Creator and to their own loss. Indeed, the Church experiences maternal grief at the harm all too often done to society by their evil use. Hence, this sacred Synod, attentive to the watchful concern manifested by the Supreme Pontiffs and Bishops in a matter of such great importance, judges it to be its duty to treat of the principal questions linked with the media of social communication. It trusts, moreover, that the teaching and regulations it thus sets forth will serve to promote, not only the eternal welfare of Christians, but also the progress of all mankind.

CHAPTER I

PAULUS EPISCOPUS

SERVUS SERVORUM DEI

UNA CUM SACROSANCTI CONCILII PATRIBUS

AD PERPETUAM REI MEMORIAM

DECRETUM DE INSTRUMENTIS

COMMUNICATIONIS SOCIALIS

INTER MIRIFICA

Praefatio

1. Inter mirifica technicae artis inventa, quae hodiernis praesertim temporibus, Deo favente, humanum ingenium e rebus creatis deprompsit, peculiari sollicitudine Mater Ecclesia ea excipit ac prosequitur quae hominis animum potissimum respiciunt, quaeque novas aperuerunt vias cuiusvis generis nuntios, cogitata ac praecepta facillime communicandi. E quibus vero inventis ea eminent instrumenta, quae non modo singulos homines, sed ipsas multitudines totamque humanam societatem, natura sua attingere ac movere valent, sicuti prelum, cinematographeum, radiophonia, televisio et alia huiusmodi, quae proinde instrumenta communicationis socialis merito vocari possunt.

2. Novit quidem Mater Ecclesia haec instrumenta, si recte adhibeantur, humano generi valida praebere subsidia, cum multum conferant ad relaxandos et excolendos animos atque ad Dei regnum propagandum et firmandum; novit etiam homines posse ea adhibere contra divini Conditoris consilium et in suorum ipsorum iacturam convertere; immo materno angitur doloris sensu ob damna quae ex pravo eorum usu humanae consociationi nimis saepe orta sunt.

Quare Sacrosancta Synodus, Summorum Pontificum et Episcoporum, in re tanti momenti, vigilanti curae instans, suum esse censet quaestiones praecipuas tractare cum instrumentis communicationis socialis conexas. Confidit insuper suam doctrinam et disciplinam hoc modo propositam, non modo christifidelium saluti, sed etiam totius consortionis humanae progressui esse profuturam.
