The executive order on the creation of a joint venture between Rosneft and Corporacion Venecolana del Petroleo, a subsidiary of Venezuelan oil company PDVSA, has officially gone into effect following its publication in the government publication Gaceta Oficial, the Russian state oil major said.
Rosneft will own 40 percent of the venture and CVP will own the other 60 percent.
The agreement on the creation of the joint venture was ratified by Venezuela's National Assembly in early April.
The venture will develop the Carabobo-2 North and Carabobo-4 West blocks in the Orinoco River basin in the states of Anzoategui and Monagas.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
