Chevron is expanding in Venezuela as Trump pushes U.S. oil giants back in | Fortune

The move comes days after the U.S. unveiled a separate 100-year deal covering 17 Venezuelan oil fields with 65 billion barrels in reserves.

  • Chevron is set to expand its operations in Venezuela following a significant deal announced by President Trump to develop the nation's vast oil reserves.
  • The agreement involves a new company with a 35% ownership stake for the Pentagon and a 20% oil purchase right for the State Department, despite skepticism regarding legal authority and potential future challenges.
  • This move signals a broader push by the U.S. to re-engage American oil giants in Venezuela, aiming to reduce reliance on Middle Eastern oil and promote stability in the region.
