CARACAS (AFX) - The field discovered by ChevronTexaco Corp's Venezuelan unit at an offshore well in the Deltana platform contains 4 bln cubic feet of gas, said Luis Vierma, vice-president for production and exploration of state-owned oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

Chevron had estimated last month that some 2 bln cubic feet of gas may be contained in that field.

Vierma was quoted as saying by daily Panorama yesterday that the results are 'highly interesting'.

Chevron has almost entirely completed its exploration programme in record time, Vierma said.
