Delta Amacuro and the Plataforma Deltana: BP's Offshore Cluster, Tucupita's Island Capital
BP signs MoU at Miraflores for the Cocuina-Manakin and Loran offshore gas cluster on the Plataforma Deltana; ninety kilometres offshore, the value chain runs subsea to Trinidad and bypasses the Venezuelan onshore entirely. In Tucupita, the state capital remains an island reached by a single dike road, with fuel rationed at twenty-five to thirty litres and the parallel dollar past 500 bolívares.
