Perla gas field is a giant offshore gas field in the Gulf of Venezuela. It is located south of Gela field, about offshore at the Cardon IV block in water depths about . It covers area about . The field was discovered in 1976. Exploration activities were carried out in 2009. The Pearl-1 well, drilled by the jack-up rig ''Ensco 68'', encountered a hydrocarbon column with a production capacity of about of gas and of gas condensate. Perla-2 produced of gas and of condensate, Perla-3produced of gas and of condensate, and Perla-4 produced of gas and of condensate. In total, it is expected to hold more than of natural gas. At the phase I light offshore platforms will be installed to utilise the wells already drilled. A pipeline will be installed to a central processing facility located onshore. The phase I is expected to cost of US$1.4 billion. The field will be developed by consortium of
