I know I'm not.I have. You're wrong.
Trump said that the oil drilling and processing of oil in Venezuela was at 4% of capacity.Status of foreign oil companies in Venezuela
Here are some important facts about the international oil companies operating in Venezuela. The country, which has the largest oil reserves in the world, is now in crisis after the capture of President Nicolas Maduro.
Hugo Chávez, the former president, expropriated the assets of foreign oil companies in the 2000s. This strengthened the state-owned PDVSA’s control over Venezuela’s oil fields. Because of Washington’s sanction, foreign companies must now obtain U.S. permits to negotiate, plan and implement projects in Venezuela. “The OPEC country’s oil exports are at a standstill.”
Venezuela has granted BP and the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago an exploration and production license for the Venezuelan portion of the transboundary Manakin-Cocuina field, which has yet to be produced. In April, the US revoked the licenses it had previously granted to the two companies. This stopped the planning of the project.
BP did not respond to a request for comment on the current situation.
As part of Chávez’s forced migration to joint ventures dominated by the state oil company PDVSA (formerly the Venezuelan Oil Company), Chevron has negotiated to remain in the country and form partnerships with PDVSA.
The company has a 25-60% stake in five onshore and offshore projects in Venezuela.
According to shipping watchdog data, Chevron shipped about 150,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil from Venezuela to the U.S. Gulf Coast last month and about 100,000 bpd in November.
The Company claims to be in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
CHINESE COMPANIES
China has been a major oil buyer and investor in Venezuela’s energy sector. Sinopec and China National Petroleum Corp, both state-owned companies, have joint ventures with Venezuela. The companies did not immediately respond to questions about their involvement in Venezuela. China Concord Resources Corp, a private company, planned last year to invest $1 billion in two oil fields that would produce 60,000 barrels a day by 2026. The company was reportedly unavailable for comment.
CONOCOPHILLIPS
Conoco has sought to recover $12 billion in assets expropriated during the Chávez years.
ConocoPhillips is monitoring developments in Venezuela and their potential impact on global energy supplies. A spokesman said it was premature to speculate on future business activities or investments.
Eni, an Italian company, produces gas in the Perla offshore oil and gas field. This is a joint venture between Repsol and Cardon IV. Venezuela uses the gas produced to produce electricity.
Eni said Venezuela owes them $2.3 billion through June 2025. This is up from 2024, as the US government decided in March 2025 to revoke licenses to collect money owed from PDVSA crude oil cargoes.
Eni’s spokesman said the company was “closely monitoring the development of the situation.” Operations are currently continuing as usual.
EXXONMOBILE
ExxonMobil no longer has a presence in Venezuela after refusing to move projects into joint ventures with PDVSA.
Exxon claimed Venezuela owed them $984.5 million in compensation after a lengthy international arbitration process. These cases date back to 2007, when Exxon’s Cerro Negro and La Ceiba oil projects were expropriated.
In September 2025, a US court recognized Venezuela’s obligation to pay the amount.
Exxon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
REPSOL
Repsol, a Spanish energy company, has interests in several onshore and offshore oil and gas fields in Venezuela. These include Petroquiriquire, Cardon IV West and Petroquiriquire West, which is operated by Eni. The United States notified Repsol in March 2025 that a license granted to the company to operate in Venezuela had been revoked. In an earlier U.S. approval, Repsol agreed to receive oil as debt repayment from PDVSA.
Repsol claims Venezuela owes them 586 million euros ($683.63 million). On Monday, a spokesman declined to comment.
SHELL Shell will operate the as-yet-unproduced Dragon gas field in Venezuelan waters together with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago. The production is sent to Trinidad for conversion into LPG.
The project is still largely frozen. Shell and BP own the Atlantic LNG plant in Trinidad, which requires increased gas supplies.
Venezuela suspended all energy contracts with Trinidad after Venezuelan authorities approved Shell to restart Dragon planning in October.
Shell declined to comment on Monday.
ROSNEFT
According to Russian media, Rosneft, the Russian state oil company, has guaranteed billions of dollars in loans to Venezuela secured by oil sales. It also owns the shares of Petromonagas and Petroperija as well as Boqueron and Petromiranda. The estimated value of these ventures is around $5 billion.
You definitely are. And based on most of the shit you post the only conclusion is that your sources are totally you tube videos or some internet nutbags. Almost none of it is grounded in reality.I know I'm not.
Pretty big talk for somebody who hasn't lived in Sth America to understand the cultural mindset.You definitely are. And based on most of the shit you post the only conclusion is that your sources are totally you tube videos or some internet nutbags. Almost none of it is grounded in reality.
All you need to do to prove you’re full of shit is to look at the fact that the interim president has called a “ state of emergency “ and mobilized Maduro loyalists to forcibly quell anti-Maduro activism. Which is provable fact. Well, that and the fact that the largest mass migration in modern history was Venezuelans fleeing Maduro’s Venezuela.
The people were eating out of garbage trucks and killing zoo animals and you claim they want Maduro back ?
Post your source dude.
Show us a verifiable majority that's not happy.Pretty big talk for somebody who hasn't lived in Sth America to understand the cultural mindset.
Poverty is everywhere and in many rich civilised cities there are people eating out of garbage trucks and trash cans.
Of course there are many people there who are happy he is gone but they are not the majority.
Expand your shit slinging and give me something new and real instead of claiming I get everything from YT etc..
You've become boring, obvious and as usual obstinate.
My cheap apologies for upsetting your turtle bitch Robo...she'll get over it soon enough.
Careful now, that's nobody's businessShow us a verifiable majority that's not happy.
