  • Will PDVSA reanimate Venezuela's motor fuel production?
  • (Reuters, 8.Jul.2021) ¡ª Venezuela¡¯s state-run oil company PDVSA has started producing two upgraded crude grades for domestic refining, aiming at reanimating the country¡¯s much-needed output of motor fuels, according to a company document and sources close the decision.
  • How much oil does Venezuela produce in 2023?
  • Despite the sizeable reserves, Venezuela produced 0.8% of total global crude oil in 2023. Most of Venezuela's proven oil reserves are extra-heavy crude oil from the Orinoco Belt.
  • Does Venezuela rely on US refinery technology?
  • The effort by state oil firm Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and the state-owned National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) to boost fuel output at the Paraguana Refining Center marks a step toward ending Venezuela's reliance on U.S. refinery technology, the sources said.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Will Chevron be able to produce crude oil in Venezuela?
  • Much of Venezuela's crude oil production capacity and infrastructure have suffered from a decade-long lack of capital and regular maintenance. Chevron's earlier exemption increased its production to 135,000 barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, and we expect Chevron's output in Venezuela to reach 200,000 b/d by the end of 2024.
