The board of directors is set to approve the purchase of 50,000 barrels of petroleum per day from Venezuela under the Petro-Caribe Accords. The deal will include 26,000 barrels of crude oil and 13,000 barrels of gasolines, aviation fuel, diesel and kerosene and 1000 barrels of fuel oil. Refinery president Aristides Fernandez Zucco told Listin Diario reporters that currently the refinery has deals under three cooperation agreements. Mexico, Colombia and Brazil are all vying for the opportunity to explore, exploit and sell crude oil from the Dominican Republic. Colombia offered a US$100 million agreement that includes supplying coal for power production.
