María Jimena DuzánHOST
En marzo de este año se conoció la noticia precisamente de que habían comprado el 22 % de GeoPark y es precisamente esa compañía con la que Jaime Gilinski llega a Venezuela a hacer un acuerdo con Delcy Rodríguez.
María Jimena DuzánHOST
Un acuerdo que le va a entregar una cantidad de pozos petroleros, cerca de 1.100 pozos petroleros en el Orinoco venezolano, el bloque Bare.
María Jimena DuzánHOST
¿Cómo es ese negocio y qué implicaciones tiene para la empresa colombiana que un grupo como Gilinski haya sido el primero en abrir esa puerta? Y también hay que recordar que el grupo Gilinski es dueño no solamente de Nutresa y ni de GeoPark, sino también es dueño de dos bancos, uno que le va bien, otro no tanto, como vamos a ver en este pódcast, y también de la revista Semana.
María Jimena DuzánHOST
La revista Semana fue uno de los primeros medios en apoyar la candidatura de Abelardo de la Espriella.

Héctor Mario RodríguezGUEST
Todos terminaron con plata, que eso es muy complicado en, en esta clase de negocios.
María Jimena DuzánHOST
El acuerdo entre PDVSA y GeoPark, que permite el aterrizaje de los Gilinski en Venezuela, según las noticias, tiene estas particularidades.
María Jimena DuzánHOST
El acuerdo, primero que todo, le da derecho a GeoPark de desarrollar y operar por veinticinco años el bloque Nare, situado en la franja del Orinoco y que tiene cerca de 1.100 pozos, óiganme bien, los cuales podrían llegar a producir 95.000 barriles diarios en el peor de los casos, frente a los cerca de 11.000 que produce hoy.
María Jimena DuzánHOST
Según estimativos, ese bloque podría llegar a producir cerca de 150.000 barriles diarios.
Doug LawlerGUEST
This MOU is non-binding, but it is a leading initiative.
Doug LawlerGUEST
entry into contract negotiation, Brian, for us to develop, to explore and develop a greenfield opportunity in the heavy oil belt just north of the Orinoco River in the country.
Doug LawlerGUEST
We know that there's been a lot of progress made in the past several months with the hydrocarbon law that have created some more favorable terms, more competitive terms for external outside investment.
Doug LawlerGUEST
that has attracted Continental and attracted many other companies to look at the country for potential new development.

Brian SullivanHOST
So what would it take then? And I was down there with the secretary of energy and we were in the room and there's a lot of smiles, but there were also a lot of questions like how exactly does this work? What is it going to take for you and your team to make the capital commitment?
Doug LawlerGUEST
Yes, well, so we have entered into a memorandum of understanding, as you described.
Doug LawlerGUEST
This MOU is non-binding, but it is a leading entry into contract negotiation, Brian, for us to develop, to explore and develop a greenfield opportunity in the heavy oil belt just north of the Orinoco River.
Doug LawlerGUEST
in the country.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
In this town I obtained eight native Indians who were invaluable at times and nuisances at others.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
We searched in that mysterious mountain land of Guiana, entering where the Caroni River empties into the Orinoco.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
The Caroni's waters are combed by cataracts and rapids, but are well known for fifty miles.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Here the dense woods begin and man's knowledge ends, for excepting myself I believe no white man has ever explored those forests.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Usually a white in that section is rather a being to be taken care of, as white men are more valuable in a gift-producing way alive than dead.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
But there are tribes of nomadic Indians, headhunters by choice, that roam the dismal forests, and to them the head of a white man, shrunk to the size of an orange, is their Kohinoor or Great Mogul.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Not far away live the Machitaries, a tribe of blondes, almost white, and at a greater distance the Guajaribos, whose savagery has never allowed the headwaters of the Orinoco to be discovered.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
My Indians sometimes heard their drums growling to one another far away in the steamy tropic nights, but they came always from the north and south, never from the west toward which we were pressing.
Jon CovichGUEST
And largely because that country is unique in that, you know, it fits into that northwest corner of South America, right? So it's got the Pacific Ocean, and then it's got the Isthmus, Panama, you know, Panama meets the continent there.
Jon CovichGUEST
So to the north, it's got the Caribbean coast, and it's got the Orinoco River that divides it from Venezuela.
Jon CovichGUEST
So that whole ecosystem is different.
Jon CovichGUEST
And it's got the southern part, which is the beginning of the Amazon.
Jon CovichGUEST
Somehow I did it, and then I was like, okay, now I kind of understand.
Jon CovichGUEST
You know, the fish are just so voracious that it's, you know, there's an attacking kind of fish.
Jon CovichGUEST
But you get peacock bass there, and you also get two days fishing for vampire fish on the Orinoco, which is...
Jon CovichGUEST
That's the big boulder.
Shayla FontaineHOST
So this is like it's OK to do that at this time.
Shayla FontaineHOST
He sails up the Orinoco River looking for El Dorado and he meets indigenous people along the way.
Shayla FontaineHOST
And he's like, you know, where's the where's the city of gold? And they're like, we have no idea what you're talking about.
Shayla FontaineHOST
Also, who even are you? Right.
Verla VieiraNARRATOR
The four largest of the islands, Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico, are distinguished as the greater Antilles, the groups farther to the southeast, which embrace twenty-six islands in all, being known as the lesser Antilles.
Verla VieiraNARRATOR
the antilles form a sort of curved line from the entrance to the gulf of mexico almost around to the mouth of the orinoco river porto rico is at the large bend of the curve and is the most easterly and the smallest of the greater antilles haiti its next-door neighbor on the west is eight times as large and cuba occupies about space enough to hold an even dozen bodies of land of the size of porto rico we might think from this that porto rico is a small and insignificant island it is really however about three times as large as rhode island and is one of the most interesting regions that we hear anything about we shall find it quite worth our while to visit porto rico and we shall enjoy making acquaintance with the plants and animals and the people of this ambitious little island just north of the caribbean sea To reach it we must take a sail of 1,400 miles.
Verla VieiraNARRATOR
If we start from New York, a five days voyage.
Verla VieiraNARRATOR
The island has been compared to various objects.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
Around Lake Valencia, they are made without paint, but in combination with pottery designs showing the beginnings of conventionalization.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
Here, there is added the circumstance that wild Carib tribes, coming down the Orinoco, drove the earlier inhabitants out over the West Indies.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
This flight must have taken place centuries before the coming of the Spaniards.
Mario PinedaNARRATOR
The archaeology of the lower Amazon is best known from the remains found on the island of Marajo, where female figurines exhibit close similarity in pose to specimens from Venezuela and Mexico.
Matt BreenHOST
In fact, it will consume most of the rest of his life.
Matt BreenHOST
The focus would be on the region of Guiana, which consisted of the lands around the Orinoco River Delta and what today is modern-day eastern Venezuela, Guiana, Suriname, and French Guiana.
Matt BreenHOST
By the way, you often see Guiana spelled in two ways.
Matt BreenHOST
There's G-U-I-A-N-A and G-U-I-A-N-A.
Matt BreenHOST
Just know that when I say Guiana, it comprises this entire region.
Matt BreenHOST
Berio's first expedition took place in 1584.
Matt BreenHOST
He led 80 conquistadors into the jungle and reached the Orinoco River before being turned back by the rainy season.
Matt BreenHOST
On this journey, he learned about the city-state of Manoa, which he believed to be the legendary El Dorado.
Luisa PalaciosGUEST
And the royalty can be as low as 16%, which is what seems to be some of the details that are coming out of this.
Luisa PalaciosGUEST
Because I think the 17 fields, I think it's important to understand that is that half of those fields are really greenfields in the Orinoco oil belt, for which there is really no infrastructure whatsoever.
Luisa PalaciosGUEST
And so presumably, and that's what was embedded in the hydrocarbon law, is that for greenfield investments that require that amount of upfront capital investment, particularly initial infrastructure, the conditions were going to be just much more favorable.
Luisa PalaciosGUEST
And so the only thing that we know is that for those green fields, the terms are the ones that I just mentioned.

Bob McNallyGUEST
And so it really depends on who's in office on January 21st, 2029, in my view.
Bob McNallyGUEST
Even if it passes legal review, a democratic president could just stop it.
Bob McNallyGUEST
And so I really think if we step back for a second, look, at the time that this was announced, Coincidentally, Chevron announced a big expansion in the Orinoco.
Bob McNallyGUEST
As far as I can tell, that had nothing to do.
