Venezuela's energy and oil minister, Rafael Ramirez, who is visiting South Korea, signed the agreement Saturday with South Korea's minister of knowledge economy, Lee Youn-ho.
Mr. Ramirez also runs Venezuelan state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA.
The two ministers also discussed strategic cooperation between PDVSA and South Korea's state-run Korea National Oil Corp. and Korea Gas Co.
Mr. Ramirez requested KNOC participate in development of an oil field that produces more than 200,000 barrels a day, located in Venezuela's Orinoco belt area. The Venezuelan minister also requested South Korea participate in the development of two gas fields.
