Halliburton signs pacts to support Venezuela energy projects
Halliburton said the agreements are non-binding and aim to expand oil and gas development work as U.S. sanctions rules ease.
- On Monday, September 21, 2026, Houston-based Halliburton announced it signed non-binding agreements with Eneva SA and engineering firm WESCA to identify and pursue oil and gas development opportunities in Venezuela.
- Eneva, Brazil's largest private natural gas operator, plans to apply its 'Reservoir-to-Wire' model, which burns gas near wells to generate electricity, addressing energy rationing across Venezuela.
- Halliburton disclosed no project lists, investment figures, or specific dates for these ventures, as memoranda of understanding are merely statements of intent rather than binding contracts.
- U.S. general licenses issued since January 2026 now permit companies to negotiate contingent contracts for investment in Venezuela's energy sectors, facilitating these recent corporate agreements.
- Following the January 2026 capture of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela seeks to leverage its 195 trillion cubic feet of proved gas reserves, representing 73% of South America's total.
