“The Colombian-Venezuelan gas pipeline can provide between 20 and 30 percent of the Colombian gas market. In other words, they have reserves that are diminishing, but at the same time they need to grow,” said the political analyst, Jesús Ernesto Parra, referring to the major plan that, in a few months, will gasetically interconnect Venezuela with Colombia.

During an interview on the program A Pulso por Venezolana de Televisión (VTV), he stressed that “this agreement will give us the opportunity to turn our country into the energy solution for the whole of Latin America.”

Parra pointed out that industrial, social and urban growth in Latin America can take leaps and bounds with the opening of gas in Venezuela.

He stated that, with the accumulation of wars in which the United States is participating, the North American nation can become a supplier of global liquefied gas and, a large part of this hydrocarbon, is fed by refineries located in Trinidad and Tobago.

“Trinidad and Tobago has few years left in reserve and, in that sense, Venezuela has the future of gas and petrochemicals in the United States. That's why we lose sight of each other,” he said.

Recently, the president in charge of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, described the dispatch of the first Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) tanks to Colombian territory as historic, marking a milestone in the energy trade balance between the two nations.
