Major issues of current cooperation among Russian and Venezuelan companies, expansion of strategic partnership for new upstream projects and construction of power generating capacities were discussed at the meetings.

During the negotiations Igor Sechin noted that the crisis in the global energy industry provides a unique opportunity to expand Rosneft and PDVSA cooperation, which may have a substantial effect on the global oil markets balancing. Eulogio del Pino, head of PDVSA, supported the offer of Igor Sechin and stated that lack of the competent regulating mechanisms in the modern oil industry is a substantial negative factor for the global economy. According to Del Pino such large hydrocarbons producers as Rosneft and PDVSA should work together to secure the interests of the whole industry.

Rosneft and PDVSA, signed several documents in Caracas in the presence of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro aimed at strategic cooperation expansion in the key operations segments. Igor Sechin and Nicolas Maduro noted the importance of transition to the practical stage of implementing the Venezuela offshore gas production project and achieving new agreements in oil and oil products trading and joint companies' initiatives to monetize oil and gas production by-products.
