Tancurile petroliere stau la coadă pentru a încărca ţiţei în porturile din Venezuela - Economica.net

Aging oil terminals in Venezuela hinder the country's ability to export crude, causing delays of up to 30 days for tankers. This situation complicates U.S. plans to boost Venezuelan oil exports following a trading agreement. Despite increased production, exports remain below 1.25 million barrels per day. The infrastructure issues, including slow loading speeds and limited storage capacity, exacerbate the delays, affecting major ports like Jose. Even established partners like Chevron are seeking solutions to improve loading efficiency. While the U.S. promotes a $100 billion energy reconstruction plan, midstream and downstream projects are not prioritized, leading to increased competition for port capacity and additional costs.
