Trenaco SA is a Swiss outt (httpwwwmonetaschhtm655enSOGC-publications-TRENACO-SAhtmsubj=1657656) Registry information identies Carlos Enrique Gabaldoacuten Vivas(httpwwwodremanyasociadoscom_escaped_fragment_=en-blancocby3en-blancocby3) fromVenezuela as a member of its board Trenaco has a colorful track record in Colombia(httpwwwsemanacomopinionarticulodaniel-coronell-los-cunados409115-3) Its website is a joke(httpwwwtrenacocom) its domain was registered by Juan Velasquez in July 2009 and back then it used toclaim (httpswebarchiveorgweb20091207090015httpwwwtrenacocom) ldquoWe are a company withmore than 9 years of experience in the market with a highly knowledgeable teamrdquo Righthellip

From August 2012 till July 2014 Carlos Gutierrez Robayo (bother in law of former Bogotarsquos Mayor Gustavo Petro(httptalkingaboutcolombiacom20131213why-reaction-of-former-bogota-mayor-gustavo-petro-is-a-danger-to-stability-and-peace-petro-learn-from-mandela)) was part of the board Therersquos enough information out theresuggesting that Gutierrez Robayo is another one of those ldquosuccessfulrdquo entrepreneurs that just happen to getlucky with public contracts (httpwwweltiempocompoliticajusticiael-negocio-de-los-cunados-de-petro-con-julio-gomez-14241717) Colombian corruption(httpperiodicodebatecomindexphpnacionjusticiaitem5236-los-tentaculos-de-gutierrez) scandals aside(httpwwwdinerocomempresasarticulocarlos-gutierrez-concunado-gustavo-petro198499) Trenacoemerged in Venezuela and participated in a bid (B-131ndash15ndash0014 (httpsicac-extpdvsacomissues196891))for the construction of oil platforms pipelines and drilling in new developments located in Venezuelarsquos OrinocoBelt (pictured)

Trenaco doubled its capital last year from 20 million Swiss Francs to 40 million (about $40 million USD) Thatwas just before the Petromiranda contract was allegedly granted in August 2015

Alex Saab a long time topic of research of mine is allegedly involved Cilia Floress (Venezuelas First Lady)favourite nephew Eric Malpica Flores (httpwwwarmandoinfositioindexphpid=17amptx_ttnews[tt_news]=185ampcHash=697357af3a24fb8a50438cdfdeca89d9) is also believed to be involvedin the process of granting the contract

Doubting the alleged $7 billion gure I consulted with Gustavo Coronel oil expert and member of PDVSAs rstboard

His reply was

httpsinfodiocom060116pdvsatrenacoalexsaab 39

I managed to get in touch with Carlos Enrique Gabaldoacuten Vivas previously mentioned as current Trenacos boardmember to ask whether there was any truth to the rumours Gabaldoacuten Vivas admitted that Trenaco hadparticipated in the bid but refused to specify whether contract was granted and related amount and whetherAlex Saab Carlos Gutierrez Robayo were involved In his reply he claimed Trenaco SA decidioacute suspender susinversiones en Latinoameacuterica hasta que los mercados emergentes se estabilicen Which means ldquoTrenacodecided to suspend its operations in LatinAmerica until emerging markets stabiliserdquo This argument seemscompletely out of place coming from a company that is participating in bids and actively seeking contracts

But then while I was doing my own investigation La W Radio published an article about Trenaco(httpwwwwradiocomconoticiasactualidad8203trenaco-la-compania-que-da-perdidas-en-colombia-pero-gana-contratos-en-venezuela20151223nota3025350aspx) claiming that the company has in fact received afew contracts in Venezuela that could exceed $44bn and 998bn BsF

The article goes on to claim that information comes from projected gures contained in a presentation thatTrenaco did about a joint venture geared at developing some 600 oil wells in Venezuelas Orinoco Belt

La W Radio claims to have a copy of one of the contracts granted to Trenaco for $803 million USD related tojust one development Similar contracts were allegedly granted for similar amounts The article claims thatTrenaco is having nancial diculties in Colombia (debts of some $40 million USD while increasing capital byhalf that amount in Switzerland) though one of the most sensational claims is that Alex Saabs Fondo Global deConstruccioacuten became Trenacos controlling party in July 2015 adding that Alvaro Pulido took part in Trenacosboard meetings

There are a few interesting issues here perhaps the most obvious being that Trenacos board member GabaldoacutenVivas stated very clearly in his reply to my questions that Alex Saab has nothing to do with Trenaco Then theresthat amount in BsF granted 998 billion Thats either $157 billion USD $83 billion USD or $580 million USDdepending on which ocial rate of exchange (httpwwwbloombergcomnewsarticles2015-02-19venezuela-the-country-with-four-exchange-rates) is applied Given that this is PDVSA operating in undoubtedly the most

What sets it apart from normal bids is the size It seems to be a verybig job because they are talking about SERVICIO INTEGRAL DECONSTRUCCIOacuteN DE PLATAFORMAS PERFORACION YCONEXIONADO DE POZOS PARA LOS NUEVOS DESARROLLOS DELA FPO (EEMM PETROMIRANDA PETROJUNIN PETROURICAPETROCARABOBO Y PETROINDEPENDENCIA) This means ALL thenew facilities that might be needed In this sense it represents aBLANKET contract although the client appears to be onlyPetroMiranda only one of the ve different areas of the Faja I cantell you however that such a blanket bidding is totally out of linewith good management practices Once the company wins such abid they are in control of EVERYTHING that has to be done in theFAJA in this eld of operations This would be a gigantic job If asyou say the contract went to one single company (without biddingor with a murky process) this would be highly irregular and has tobe investigated

Alvaro Pulido another partner of Saab of Colombian origin (also wanted in Ecuador(httpexpresoecexpresoplantillasnota_printaspxidArt=5321390amptipo=2)) also gets a mention in thearticle I believe La W Radio got it slightly wrong in that respect For Pulidos real name is German Rubio a oncedrug cartels associate who was extradited to the US according to sources familiar with Saabs businesses

The stellar performance of Alex Saab in Venezuela(httpinfodiocom011113meetalexsaabfondoglobalconstruccion) is easy to explain if consideration isgiven to his close relationship with Colombian narco senator Piedad Cordoba Cordoba was a xture in HugoChavezs relations with FARC narcoterrorists and as a matter of fact has received plenty of support and funds(httpinfodiocomesnode567) from the Venezuelan caudillo whose passing did nothing to curtail Saabsspiraling ventures in Venezuela Quite the contrary Williams Amaro personal secretary of President NicolasMaduro and wanted in connection to drug money (httpwwwmiamiheraldcomnewslocalcommunitymiami-dadearticle51698275html) is one of the people that guarantees access and contracts for Saab A leak to thissite even claimed -unconrmed- that Saab was part of Nicolas Maduros ocial committee in a trip to Vietnamand China last year

Page 3: contract? Did PDVSA give TREN ACO a $20bn · 2021. 7. 12. · Construcción became Trenaco's controlling par ty in July 2015, adding that Alv aro Pulido took par t in Trenaco's board

1272021 Did PDVSA give TRENACO a $20bn contract | Venezuelas Corruption Exposed

httpsinfodiocom060116pdvsatrenacoalexsaab 39

I managed to get in touch with Carlos Enrique Gabaldoacuten Vivas previously mentioned as current Trenacos boardmember to ask whether there was any truth to the rumours Gabaldoacuten Vivas admitted that Trenaco hadparticipated in the bid but refused to specify whether contract was granted and related amount and whetherAlex Saab Carlos Gutierrez Robayo were involved In his reply he claimed Trenaco SA decidioacute suspender susinversiones en Latinoameacuterica hasta que los mercados emergentes se estabilicen Which means ldquoTrenacodecided to suspend its operations in LatinAmerica until emerging markets stabiliserdquo This argument seemscompletely out of place coming from a company that is participating in bids and actively seeking contracts

But then while I was doing my own investigation La W Radio published an article about Trenaco(httpwwwwradiocomconoticiasactualidad8203trenaco-la-compania-que-da-perdidas-en-colombia-pero-gana-contratos-en-venezuela20151223nota3025350aspx) claiming that the company has in fact received afew contracts in Venezuela that could exceed $44bn and 998bn BsF

The article goes on to claim that information comes from projected gures contained in a presentation thatTrenaco did about a joint venture geared at developing some 600 oil wells in Venezuelas Orinoco Belt

La W Radio claims to have a copy of one of the contracts granted to Trenaco for $803 million USD related tojust one development Similar contracts were allegedly granted for similar amounts The article claims thatTrenaco is having nancial diculties in Colombia (debts of some $40 million USD while increasing capital byhalf that amount in Switzerland) though one of the most sensational claims is that Alex Saabs Fondo Global deConstruccioacuten became Trenacos controlling party in July 2015 adding that Alvaro Pulido took part in Trenacosboard meetings

There are a few interesting issues here perhaps the most obvious being that Trenacos board member GabaldoacutenVivas stated very clearly in his reply to my questions that Alex Saab has nothing to do with Trenaco Then theresthat amount in BsF granted 998 billion Thats either $157 billion USD $83 billion USD or $580 million USDdepending on which ocial rate of exchange (httpwwwbloombergcomnewsarticles2015-02-19venezuela-the-country-with-four-exchange-rates) is applied Given that this is PDVSA operating in undoubtedly the most

What sets it apart from normal bids is the size It seems to be a verybig job because they are talking about SERVICIO INTEGRAL DECONSTRUCCIOacuteN DE PLATAFORMAS PERFORACION YCONEXIONADO DE POZOS PARA LOS NUEVOS DESARROLLOS DELA FPO (EEMM PETROMIRANDA PETROJUNIN PETROURICAPETROCARABOBO Y PETROINDEPENDENCIA) This means ALL thenew facilities that might be needed In this sense it represents aBLANKET contract although the client appears to be onlyPetroMiranda only one of the ve different areas of the Faja I cantell you however that such a blanket bidding is totally out of linewith good management practices Once the company wins such abid they are in control of EVERYTHING that has to be done in theFAJA in this eld of operations This would be a gigantic job If asyou say the contract went to one single company (without biddingor with a murky process) this would be highly irregular and has tobe investigated
