Abstract

In Middle and South America, demand for natural gas is growing rapidly due to the growth of electricity consumption and the general trend of shifting the source of energy from oil to gas. The governments in those areas are less protective in providing opportunities for foreign oil companies. In these circumstances, chances of realizing business opportunities in gas development projects are expanding.Teikoku Oil Co., Ltd. is expanding gas development business in Middle and South America area. In Venezuela, Teikoku has been operating oil fields in two blocks since 1992.
