Caracas_ Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and Trinidad and Tobago's National Group Gas (NGC) companies have signed an agreement with Dutch Shell to build a gas pipeline, Radio Habana Cuba reports.

"We have signed an agreement to supply gas to Trinidad with NGC and Shell, besides the construction of a gas pipeline between Venezuela and Trinidad," PDVSA’s president Eulogio del Pino said.
