The capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro nicolas maduroby U.S. forces has resulted in a significant halt to Venezuela's oil exports, creating immediate operational and financial disruptions for multinational energy companies. Venezuela, holding the world's largest proven oil reserves, is now at a standstill, affecting global energy supply stability and leaving foreign operators facing uncertainty about their investments and outstanding debts owed by Venezuela.
Chevron Corporation , which holds stakes of 25-60% in five onshore and offshore projects in Venezuela, had recently exported 150,000 barrels per day in November and 100,000 barrels per day last month. The export halt exacerbates the challenges faced by companies like BP plc , whose exploration and production license for the Manakin-Cocuina gas field was revoked by the U.S. in April 2024. Similarly, Shell plc had received authorization to restart planning for the Dragon gas field in October 2025, only for Venezuela to later suspend all energy agreements with Trinidad and Tobago
