Courts freeze $12 billion Venezuela assets in Exxon row

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp has moved to freeze up to $12 billion in Venezuelan assets around the world as the U.S. company fights for payment in return for the state's takeover of a huge oil project last year.

It also said on Thursday it received court orders freezing up to $12 billion of PDVSA assets in the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles.

PDVSA was not immediately available for comment.
