The White House has officially released the terms of a U.S.-Venezuela oil agreement. Under this agreement, North American Blue Energy Partners will have the opportunity to invest up to $100 billion in Venezuela’s oil production and infrastructure.
The arrival of such a major investment could help boost Venezuela’s oil production, and also have important implications for energy security and oil supply for the United States.
In the long term, if Venezuela’s oil production increases, global oil supply could rise and put downward pressure on crude oil prices.
It remains to be seen how much a $100 billion investment could transform Venezuela’s oil sector.
