总部位于加利福尼亚州的石油生产商太平洋海岸能源公司（Pacific Coast Energy Co.）已在委内瑞拉开工，并计划在六个月内将其在该国的产量翻一番，达到每天4万桶。
Coast Energy Co., a California-based oil producer, started work in Venezuela and plans to double its output there within six months to 40,000 barrels a day.
根据周三的一份声明，该公司在第三季度开始了三角洲（Delta）和卡比马斯（Cabimas）区块的运营，并已重新激活了50多口生产重质原油的油井。
The company began operations during the third quarter in the Delta and Cabimas blocks and has reactivated more than 50 wells producing heavy crude, according to a statement Wednesday.
随着特朗普政府在推翻前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗政权后极力复苏该国的能源产业，PCEC成为了越来越多致力于重新开发委内瑞拉油田的中小型（在某些情况下鲜为人知）公司之一。
PCEC is among a growing number of small, and in some cases little-known, companies working to redevelop Venezuela’s oil fields as the Trump administration pushes to revive the nation’s energy industry after removing former President Nicolás Maduro from power.
PCEC表示，这两个位于该国不同区域的区块目前日产量约为1.93万桶。在巅峰时期，它们具有在10年内每天生产高达16万桶的潜力。
The company’s two blocks, which are on opposite sides of the country, currently produce about 19,300 barrels a day. At their peak, they have potential to produce up to 160,000 barrels a day for 10 years, PCEC says.
每个区块都包含数个油田，PCEC根据与国有委内瑞拉国家石油公司（Petróleos de Venezuela SA）签订的为期25年的协议运营这些油田。该公司目前有四个钻机在卡比马斯作业，以重新激活900口油井。
Each block includes several fields, which PCEC is operating under 25-year agreements with state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela SA. The company has four rigs working to reactivate 900 wells at Cabimas.
三角洲区块此前由已故委内瑞拉富豪奥斯瓦尔多·西斯内罗斯（Oswaldo Cisneros）的家族通过一家合资企业持有，该合资企业于5月被委内瑞拉国家石油公司撤销。
The Delta block was previously held by the family of late Venezuelan magnate Oswaldo Cisneros under a joint venture that PDVSA revoked in May.
