Let’s Talk Energy and unpack a story that has been dominating the headlines – Venezuela. The US capture and extradition of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is the biggest energy story of the year to date and has analysts scrambling to evaluate the short and long-term impacts on oil markets. Venezuela’s production peaked above 3 million barrels per day in the late 1990s but fell steeply in the ensuing years as corruption and neglect pushed production to around a million barrels per day. A US naval blockade in recent weeks further cut the country’s crude exports. Venezuela claims the world’s largest oil reserves, but much of it is locked up in heavy crude that is difficult to get to market, making revitalization of the country’s oil industry a time-consuming and expensive proposition.
Why does Venezuela have outsized importance in the global oil markets, and how could potential long-term US involvement in the country’s oil industry impact markets?
How much money would it take for Venezuela to return to its lofty historical production, and who might be willing to invest?
What are the geopolitical ramifications of the US reasserting its control over the Western Hemisphere for both China and OPEC+?
