00:00 The Cuban government has confirmed the discovery of a new top-quality oil well in the province
00:04 of Matanzas.
00:06 The state-owned company, Unión Cuba Petróleo, said that the exploration of the Alameda-Alemeda
00:12 II well, located in Block 9, was undertaken by the Australian company Melvana Energy.
00:17 They have confirmed that the new well has the capacity to produce up to 1,100 barrels
00:23 of oil per day.
00:24 The head of the exploration crew said that the crude oil found is lighter, thus contains
00:29 less sulfur than the kind found in the wells of the Havana-Matanzas Strip.
00:33 Cuba uses 44 percent of its domestic crude oil and 8 percent of its accompanying gas
00:37 to generate domestic energy.
