Indian oil firm, Reliance Industries yesterday said that it has paused diluents supply to Venezuelan state-run firm, PDVSA until sanctions are lifted. Reliance supplied diluents to crisis-struck Venezuela from its Houston-based subsidiary. The Indian conglomerate has also not increased oil purchases from Venezuela. Ship tracking data acquired by Reuters indicated a drop in Reliance’s purchase from Venezuela below 300,000 bpd in 2018 and in January 2019.
