Texas-Based Oil Companies Among First to Sign Contracts with Venezuela

New fiscal terms could lift output by as much as 300,000 barrels a day as negotiations continue over dispute resolution and contract details.

  • Venezuela is nearing agreements with American oil producers following new fiscal regulations unveiled by interim president Delcy Rodríguez last month to attract international investment.
  • The Trump administration renewed pressure on Rodríguez to secure PDVSA contracts after the U.S. raid captured former leader Nicolás Maduro in January, aiming to boost post-earthquake recovery.
  • David Goldwyn of Goldwyn Global Strategies notes independent oil producers are likely to drive near-term growth, while supermajors await clarity on political conditions and asset availability.

  • Goldwyn projects these investments could add up to 300,000 barrels of daily production next year, though full recovery requires further political clarity and infrastructure restoration.
