TL;DR
- Venezuelan oil exports grew by 60.6% in January to approximately 800,000 bpd, up from 498,000 bpd in December.
- The increase followed the capture of Nicolás Maduro and the lifting of a naval blockade, allowing international firms to manage exports under US control.
- The United States became the main buyer of Venezuelan oil, importing about 284,000 bpd, with Chevron responsible for 220,000 bpd.
- Exports to China are expected to drop significantly from February due to US restrictions on sanctioned vessels carrying Venezuelan oil.
- International traders Vitol and Trafigura exported around 392,000 bpd of crude and fuels, rerouting them to the US, Europe, and India.
- Venezuela holds the world's largest proven oil reserves (303 billion barrels) but produces less than 1% of global supply.
- Production could potentially double to 2 million bpd in five years, but international operators will likely retain a significant portion of the revenue.
