and Development Opportunities in Chile

The Chilean government plans to award seven of the ten available blocks to private companies with sufficient experience and financial capability, and the remaining three to private companies interested in forming a joint venture with Empresa Nacional de Petróleo (ENAP), Chile's national oil company.
