  • How much oil does Venezuela refine a day?
  • A paid subscription is required for full access. In 2021, Venezuela had a crude oil refining capacity of approximately 2.3 million barrels per day. Amuay was the largest refinery unit in the South American country, with a capacity of 645 thousand barrels per day. It was followed by Cardón, with a capacity of 310 thousand daily barrels.
  • Which refiners rely on Venezuela?
  • Other refiners such as Chalmette, Saint Charles, and Texas City are highly dependent on Venezuela for more than 60% of their total imports. The average crude quality imported by the refiners running Venezuelan crudes involves a 21.8 degree API and 2.7% sulphur spec crude. Replacing such barrels will be a tall task.
  • Is Venezuela's refining industry doing well in 2022?
  • The domestic refining industry kept Venezuela¡¯s gas stations well supplied, but this is by no means the case anymore in 2022. Ever since the start of the Bolivarian revolution, Venezuela¡¯s oil and gas industry has been struggling, and refining has been the hardest hit.
  • Why is Venezuela's refining capacity so low?
  • Decades of corruption, mismanagement, and poor maintenance have led to a huge drop in Venezuela¡¯s refining capacity. Iran has helped Venezuela to ease its still ongoing fuel crisis. Venezuela needs to invest at least $60 billion to modernize and restore its crisis-stricken refinery complexes.
  • How does Venezuela's oil production decline affect US refiners?
  • This production decline has particularly impacted U.S. refiners. Venezuela¡¯s oil is heavy, which means it requires more processing by refiners. But U.S. refiners have invested billions of dollars into processing heavy oil.
  • Is Venezuela's crude oil production on a downtrend?
  • Venezuelan crude oil production has been on a downtrend for years. This is true across all crude grades, but from a composition standpoint, the heavies and extra heavies now make up over 71% of total Venezuelan crudes compared to sub 60% in 2013. In other words, the type of barrel produced is heavier than in the past.
