President Nicolás Maduro said Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago have signed a profit-sharing agreement to export gas from the PDVSA-owned Dragon offshore project.

The project, which was halted in 2020 due to US sanctions, entails using a field in Venezuelan waters to produce natural gas, which would be imported by the West Indies nation to be processed for export.
