Petróleo en RD: ¿Estamos listos para la Ronda Petrolera 2026? Análisis de expertos

This video is part of the ExploraExpertos documentary and academic archive. This academic presentation was given at the XXI International Congress of Scientific Research 2026 (XXI CIC 2026), MESCYT, Dominican Republic. It aims to strengthen and disseminate advances in oil and gas exploration to promote the upcoming oil bidding round in 2026, highlighting areas with potential such as Enriquillo, Cibao, Azua, and San Juan.
