ConocoPhillips successfully seizes two oil shipments in Aruba

ORANJESTAD – ConocoPhillips successfully seized two supposedly PDVSA oil shipments in Aruba Monday night, Aruba energy minister Evelyn Wever confirmed to NoticiaCla Tuesday morning. This comes one day after Wever told the Aruba press that Aruba got lucky, as the initial seizure intent by ConocoPhillips over the weekend was unsuccessful. She however also claimed that ConocoPhillips and others would continue trying and that with those we might not be as lucky then. CITGO Aruba meanwhile, is contesting the seizure in an Arubano court this morning, claiming the oil is not PDVSA but CITGO property.
