Anadarko Petroleum Corp., the third-largest independent U.S. oil and natural gas producer, said it’s working for the release of a research vessel and its crew after Venezuela detained the ship in disputed waters yesterday.
The 36 crew members, including five U.S. citizens, are being escorted to Venezuela by the navy, said Peter Tatro, director of operations at TDI Brooks International Inc., which chartered the MV Teknik Perdana to conduct surveys for Anadarko.
