Colombia To Ship Gas to Venezuela

Colombia would ship natural gas to Venezuela under a preliminary agreement .
The presidents of the two countries will sign the agreement during a summit tomorrow.
The accord sets a deadline of six months for the two countries to agree on terms for the shipments and would clear the way for construction of a 147-kilometer (91-mile) pipeline, Daisy Cercera, director of the natural-gas department at Colombia's Mines and Energy Ministry in Bogota, said in an interview.
The agreement would help ease a shortage of natural gas in the country's western oil-producing region.
