委内瑞拉代总统德尔西·罗德里格斯周六表示，根据最近签署的协议，委内瑞拉未来五年预期将获得近760亿美元的石油投资，并称一项双边协议包括钻探250套钻机的计划。
Venezuela expects nearly $76 billion in oil investment over the next five years under recently signed agreements, acting President Delcy Rodriguez said on Saturday, adding that a bilateral accord with the US includes plans to drill 250 rigs.
自一月份尼古拉斯·马杜罗总统被推翻以来，该国在特朗普政府的支持下，正在向外国投资重新开放其能源部门。
Since the January ouster of President Nicolas Maduro, the country has been reopening its energy sector to foreign investment with the backing of the administration of US President Donald Trump.
这些协议可能有助于恢复委内瑞拉的石油产量，该国拥有世界上最大的已探明原油储量，但产量远低于十年前的水平。
The deals could help revive output in Venezuela, which has the world's largest proven crude oil reserves but produces well below levels seen a decade ago.
罗德里格斯在全国电视上表示，这些投资将直接惠及委内瑞拉，同时也将惠及其合作伙伴，并称与美国的双边协议涵盖17个油田，是双方签署的61项协议中更广泛方案的一部分。
Rodriguez said on national television the investments would bring direct benefits to Venezuela while also benefiting its partners, adding that the bilateral agreement with the US covers 17 oil fields and formed part of a broader package of 61 agreements signed by the parties.
“重大投资即将到来，”她说。“我们谈论的是五年内近760亿美元的投资。这些投资将转化为对我们国家的直接利益，实现互利共赢，因为我们的合作伙伴也将受益。”罗德里格斯还强调，西部苏利亚州的石油产量正在恢复。
"Major investments are coming," she said. "We are talking about investment of almost $76 billion over five years. Those investments will translate into direct benefits for our country in a win-win partnership, because our partner will also benefit." Rodriguez also highlighted a recovery in oil production in western Zulia state.
她表示，该州产量已从每天7万桶增至每天37万桶，并预计到今年底将达到每天40万桶。她未说明这一增长发生在多长时间内。
There, production rose from 70,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 370,000 bpd, she said, adding it was expected to reach 400,000 bpd by the end of the year. She did not say over what period the increase occurred.
委内瑞拉的石油产出多年来一直受投资不足、国营石油公司PDVSA的运营问题以及美国对能源部门制裁的影响。
Venezuela's oil output has suffered from years of underinvestment, operational problems at state oil company PDVSA and US sanctions on the energy sector.
