Chevron expands Venezuela operations amid high-stakes oil deal
Chevron confirmed plans to expand operations in Venezuela, potentially securing a 100-year concession over 17 oil fields via a joint venture with the state oil company PDVSA. The move is touted by U.S. officials as boosting American energy presence, but experts warn that Venezuela’s legal authority and aging oil infrastructure will heavily influence viability, and analysts caution it won’t instantly lower gasoline prices amid rising U.S. pump prices.
