Venezuela gas complex blast hits heavy crude dilution; power production: report

Production of light crude, upgraded heavy oil and natural gas in Venezuela's eastern fields will be severely compromised until at least February after an explosion and resulting fire destroyed a network of gas pipelines and high-pressure pipes at the country's Muscar gas complex, according to a preliminary damage report from state oil and gas company PDVSA and an official with the company.

"This accident has been qualified as 'catastrophic,' because it destroyed strategic PDVSA gas and oil production infrastructure," said the PDVSA official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
