Así es como Chevron se ha mantenido como la única petrolera extranjera que sigue explotando en Venezuela

TL;DR

Chevron is the sole foreign company allowed to operate in Venezuela's oil sector, which holds the world's largest reserves.
The company's operations in Venezuela date back to its predecessor, Gulf Oil, starting in 1923.
Chevron currently extracts oil from four fields and gas from one offshore field, operating under a partnership with PDVSA.
Venezuela's oil reserves are estimated at 303 billion barrels, representing 17% of global reserves.
Despite a general embargo on Venezuelan crude, Chevron obtained an exception to continue its operations.
Chevron's production constitutes about 10% of Venezuela's total output, with all of it exported to the U.S.
Venezuelan crude is described as 'heavy and dirty,' requiring diluents for transport and being difficult to refine.
The U.S. has refineries on the Gulf Coast designed specifically for Venezuela's less liquid crude, which is processed into diesel and asphalt.
U.S. interest in Venezuelan oil is viewed as primarily political, aimed at countering socialist/communist influence and preventing China and Russia from filling the void.
Recent U.S. sanctions are expected to significantly reduce Venezuela's illicit oil exports.
