Venezuela's first shipment of liquefied petroleum gas has left Venezuela bound for the US

Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez announced on Sunday that the country’s first shipment of liquefied petroleum gas had been exported.

The announcement in a post on her Telegram channel on Sunday comes almost a month after President Donald Trump ordered a military operation that led to the capture of Venezuela’s former President Nicolas Maduro, who now faces federal charges in the U.S.

Rodriguez, Maduro’s former vice president, was sworn in as the interim president after his capture in January. Rodriguez said the ship, the Chrysopigi Lady, had set sail from Venezuela “with the first shipment of Liquefied Petroleum Gas,” in a post, originally in Spanish. The Singapore-flagged Chrysopigi Lady left from a port in northern Venezuela on the evening of Feb. 1 and is set to arrive in Providence, Rhode Island, according to marinetraffic.com.

“Proud to share this moment: the vessel Chrysopigi Lady has set sail from Venezuela with the first shipment of Liquefied Petroleum Gas,” Rodriguez said in the post. “We are marking this historic milestone by exporting the country’s first molecule of gas; an achievement for the well-being of the people of Venezuela.”

that I met a few times. The consultant had worked for a major gas company for decades. The n.e. corner of Pa is where he said there would be gas plays. The gas was there and he knew it but it would take time and technology advances to make it happen. Smart man. Polution aside it is an interesting business even small scale.

There are people who get paid for use of their property if there is a well built on it too... But then much of that is done via fracking so they get the bonus of brown drinking water coming out of their wells!
