CARACAS, Venezuela — Details of exactly where the ExxonMobil survey vessels were intercepted over the Christmas period in the Stabroek block area by the Venezuelan navy have been murky; however evidence provided by Venezuelan vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, shows where the ships were intercepted, which does not seem to be contradicted by the Guyanese government or ExxonMobil.
Rodriguez’s claims appear to be backed up by a supplementary Bloomberg report that suggested that the area subject to an ongoing border dispute was where the ExxonMobil ships were intercepted.
Rodriguez, via Telesur, went on to state that the ships trespassed on waters located within territory under Venezuelan jurisdiction, and over which there is no dispute of any kind, said the vice president, making reference to agreements signed between both nations, and which she said have been unrecognized and violated by the government of David Granger in Guyana, by granting concessions to foreign companies, such as ExxonMobil, for their own interests.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
