Chevron Expands Operations in Venezuela Amid US Oil Deal
Chevron is expanding its operations in Venezuela after the US and Venezuela struck an oil deal.
The Houston-based company will expand its footprint at the Orinoco Belt, where much of Venezuela's oil reserves lie.
'Today is a transformative day,' said US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright. 'The catalyst for transforming Venezuela is energy.'
Chevron will invest over $7 billion over five years as part of a joint venture, expanding its production to approximately 600,000 barrels of oil per day.
