Acordul petrolier dintre Trump și Venezuela ridică semnale de alarmă pentru unii producători majori

The U.S. has reached an unprecedented agreement to access a fifth of Venezuela's oil reserves, raising concerns among oil companies about potential investments. North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP) will receive a 100-year lease for 17 oil fields, holding around 65 billion barrels of oil. The deal involves a 35% stake for the U.S. in NABEP and guaranteed access to 20% of its production. Alejandro Betancourt, NABEP's owner, has faced scrutiny but denies wrongdoing. Major U.S. oil companies like ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips remain cautious about re-entering Venezuela due to past nationalizations and legal uncertainties. Meanwhile, Chevron and other global players are finalizing energy agreements in the country, separate from the U.S. deal with NABEP.
