Tehran - FNA
Venezuela is at loggerheads with its neighbor, Guyana, after a Venezuelan navy frigate detained an oil survey ship in waters contested by the two Latin American countries. Guyana protested after the RV Teknik Perdana was evicted from what Venezuela’ claimed were its territorial waters, RT reported. The ship, used by Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp on approval by Guyana, was in disputed Atlantic waters West of Essequibo River. A century-long territorial conflict between the two countries worsened after the 2011 discovery of hydrocarbon reserves off nearby French Guyana.
