ConocoPhillips to depose Citgo Petroleum in hunt for PDVSAs Caribbean assets
ConocoPhillips is moving to bring Venezuelan PDVSA`s U.S. refining unit Citgo Petroleum [PDVSAC.UL] into its legal battles to enforce a $2 billion arbitration award over the South American country`s nationalization of its Venezuelan assets.
A federal judge in Houston on Thursday ruled the U.S. oil producer can depose Citgo as preparation for a court case against PDVSA over asset transfers in the Caribbean that Conoco claims were designed to frustrate its efforts to seize PDVSA assets in Curacao.
