This document discusses petroleum coke (petcoke) production in Venezuela from various heavy oil projects and upgraders. It provides details on current and estimated future petcoke production volumes from sites like Petrozuata, PetroPiar, PetroMonagas and PetroCedeño. It also outlines Venezuela's solids handling systems and specifications for petcoke produced. New projects slated for the Orinoco Oil Belt, including refinery upgrades and conversions, are estimated to contribute additional petcoke production of over 30,000 metric tons per day.
