Chevron Expands Operations in Venezuela Amid Trump Deal
Oil giant Chevron is expanding its operations in Venezuela after President Donald Trump announced an ambitious deal to develop the nation's oil reserves and give the Pentagon a stake in the profits.
Chevron, the only U.S. oil company with a major presence in Venezuela, has been assigned additional acreage in the Orinoco Belt where it already operates.
The company plans to invest over $7 billion over the next five years and aims to more than double its current production to about 600,000 barrels per day.
