Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez and his Argentine counterpart Néstor Kirchner will launch drilling on the Ayacucho 6 block in the former country's Orinoco extra-heavy crude belt, Venezuela's state oil company PDVSA said in a statement.

Kirchner is scheduled to arrive late Tuesday in Venezuela, where he is staying for 24 hours. His activities will be focused on projects related to the heavy-crude oil Orinoco belt. In this scenario, Venezuela and Argentina are to reinforce energy ties, as Argentine state oil firm Enarsa is to operate in the 55,000 km2 area with estimated reserves of 1.3 trillion barrels of extra-heavy crude oil, AFP reported.
