Venezuela signs agreements with Hunt Oil and SLB, oil minister says Aug 18 (Reuters) - Venezuelan officials on Tuesday signed a production sharing contract for two onshore oil areas with U.S. producer Hunt Oil and an alliance with U.S. oil service firm SLB SLB.N for reservoir studies in the OPEC country, oil minister Paula Henao said in state TV.
The companies had signed preliminary agreements with Venezuela earlier this year. The reach of the new pacts was not immediately clear.
