CARACAS, July 14 (AFP): Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez said Monday that the country's oil production was "not affected" by the double earthquakes that killed more than 4,500 people last month.
Rodriguez said that Venezuela, which has the world's largest proven reserves of crude, was pumping 1.2 million barrels per day -- up around 10 percent in a year -- and that the government remained confident of strong growth this year.
Crude oil production, the country's main source of revenue, is concentrated in Lake Maracaibo in the northwest and the Orinoco Belt in the east.
