Many of Chaves' workers have been accused of being heterosexual bear-wrestlers. Chaves denied the claims. [5] Chaves' has stated several times that all of his workers are flaming homosexuals.

3.2 trillion barrels of oil reserves

[edit]

Basically, this figure should be contextualized. Proven reserves would be a much more appropriate figure to display instead (some 77.8 barrels, i think... if you include heavy oil you'd bring it up to some 310billion). The above figure really doesn't mean anything as of now. In fact, that figure creates the appearance that Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia, which is doesn't. " Venezuela has 3.2 trillion barrels of oil reserves, according to PDVSA figures, the largest in the Western Hemisphere and making up approximately half the total. This puts Venezuela as fifth in the world in proven reserves of conventional oil." --Patpecz 20:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ILO

[edit]

In the article: "The International Labour Organization (ILO) sentenced that those employees must be reinstated in their jobs." In English, "sentenced" is not possible in this context: it means specifically the imposition of a punishment. I'm guessing that this is in the sense of the Spanish sentencia (English: "verdict" or, if an administrative rather than judicial context, "ruling"), but even so I'm not sure what it means to say. Was this a judicial hearing? Did Venezuela recognize the authority of the ILO in this matter? When exactly was this verdict/ruling made? As it stands, it's very confusing, it only hints at something. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:46, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I searched the entire UN site, and can find no trace of this. The ILO has "conventions," and "recomendations," and can "voice concerns," but as far as I know, it is not a judicial body, it does not make judgements or impose sentences. I am editing this entry with the one citation that I could find. --VonWoland 06:38, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Pdvsa.png

[edit]

Image:Pdvsa.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citgo percentage?

[edit]

Is it 100% like it says in the article or 84.12% like it says in the info box? --199.227.86.10 (talk) 20:39, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

100%. The 82.14 was the (out-of-date) % for Electricidad de Caracas. I've updated the article, including the infobox. Rd232 talk 11:38, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Date of founding?

[edit]

The article states that PDVSA was founded on January 1, 1976, but the sidebar claims that it was founded in 1975. Obviously, one of these is wrong. Can someone take a look at that? Bk2204 (talk) 17:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Their website says 1975[1] --JRSP (talk) 01:12, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Suppport from Brazil

[edit]

The article writes:"In December 2002 many of PDVSA's managers and employees (including the CTV trade union federation) locked out workers to pressure Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez to call early elections, and virtually stopped oil production for 2 months. The government fired 19,000 employees and reestablished production with employees loyal to the Chávez government."

Well, then Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso sent two big Brazilian oil tankers with many fuels to Venezuela, to support his friend Hugo Chavez. Brazilian governments are supporting Venezuela since Hugo Chavez took power.Agre22 (talk) 14:56, 22 August 2009 (UTC)agre22[reply]

You mean Lula, not Cardoso. You mean when Chavez was "voted into office", not "took power", which he didn't. He is dead.

"Politicization" section clearly POV

[edit]

Clearly POV section. References are not neutral, wording is clearly anti-chavist, and quotes and references are highly selective in order to push an anti-Chavez POV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.217.226.158 (talk) 08:02, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is PDVSA doing in sustainability engineering?

[edit]

I would like the major fossil fuel company articles to indicate how they intend to transition to carbon-neutral fuels such as this work and "power to gas." I need to know whether they support emerging chemical engineering research such as catalysts for carbon-neutral transportation fuels, whether they are working on compressed air energy storage such as [2] and [3], airborne wind turbines such as [4], and on extracting carbon from seawater such as this PARC method in order to solve their long-term corporate viability issues. I do not believe it is possible to have a truly balanced article on a fossil fuel company without some indication of their long term prospects. Tim AFS (talk) 04:29, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also need to know whether they are developing electrical grid energy storage in their existing expended oil and gas caverns along with mineshafts and mines for pumped-storage hydroelectricity where ordinary hydroelectric power is unavailable. Tim AFS (talk) 09:08, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in PDVSA

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of PDVSA's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nasdaq":

  • From BP: "BP Close to GoM Assets Sale – Analyst Blog". Zacks Equity Research. NASDAQ. 9 September 2012. Retrieved 10 September 2012.
  • From 2019 Venezuelan presidential crisis: "Regime change hopes bolster Venezuela bonds". NASDAQ. Retrieved 20 January 2019.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 14:18, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Systemic bias tag

[edit]

@Sisgeo: I see that you added the {{Systemic bias}} tag in this article last year in June, but the edit summary simply read "Updating template". Could you please provide more details about this? Best wishes, NoonIcarus (talk) 19:06, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
