SPE President Jennifer Miskimins lent her expertise to Science Friday’s conversation about Venezuelan oil, explaining the reality of what it would take to extract and refine it.
US oil executives say large-scale investment in Venezuela will depend on governance reforms and sustainable legal protections.
The agreement requires the partners to conduct their own proprietary 3D survey of Block 8 in hope of zeroing in on the sweet spot that eluded the TotalEnergies-led consortium when it drilled a dry hole in an adjacent block in 2023.
