“Petroleos de Venezuela SA is seeking a buyer for Citgo Petroleum Corp., its U.S. refining and marketing company, in a deal that may be worth as much as $15 billion. The government of President Nicolas Maduro probably is looking to sell offshore refineries to boost hydrocarbons exports to China, raise cash and reduce the risk of having assets seized as part of PDVSA lawsuits abroad, GlobalSource Partners’ Ruth de Krivoy and Tamara Herrera said today in an e-mailed report to clients. The sale of U.S. assets ‘would put PDVSA in a better position to negotiate settlements should adverse decisions be handed down in pending international arbitration cases,’ they wrote.”
