LEC Abogados Advises Hunt Oil on Landmark Hydrocarbons Agreement in Venezuela

The team at LEC Abogados is proud to share a major milestone for Venezuela’s energy sector.

Yesterday at the Marriott Marquis in Houston, Texas, Hunt Oil executed its first Contrato de Participación Productiva de Hidrocarburos (CPPH). We are honored to have advised on this landmark agreement—the very first CPPH signed by a U.S. company in this new era for Venezuela’s oil and gas industry—reflecting renewed confidence and international investment momentum in the country.

A transaction of this magnitude is a direct testament to the extraordinary synergy, technical rigor, and dedication of the joint team. We extend our warmest congratulations and heartfelt appreciation to our senior partners Leopoldo Cadenas and Juan Carlos Andrade for their visionary leadership and strategic direction, and to our associates Patricia Khazen and Anyelis Tineo for their tireless diligence, agility, and legal precision. We also thank the Hunt Oil legal team for their outstanding trust, high-caliber professionalism, and seamless collaboration. Their exceptional response times, work quality, and team spirit were crucial to bringing this historic agreement to fruition.

Congratulations to everyone who made this achievement possible. We look forward to continuing to support projects that strengthen energy ties between the United States and Venezuela and drive a transformative new chapter for the industry.
