Sinochem New Network News: Recently, despite clear pressure from the U.S. government, major American oil companies have stated that they remain highly cautious about returning to Venezuela. Safety risks, lack of legal protection, and investment risks have become the primary concerns in corporate decision-making. Recently, U.S. President *** met with nearly 20 oil industry executives at the White House, urging them to commit to investments to help revitalize Venezuela’s oil industry. Although the U.S. government has suggested the possibility of providing security guarantees, corporate executives generally argue that security alone is far from sufficient, as there is still a serious lack of reliable assurances regarding contract stability and governance structures. ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods made it clear that Venezuela is currently in a state that makes it \"uninvestable\". “Sustainable investment protection mechanisms must be established. ”Woods emphasized. Although Schlumberger’s CEO Olivier Le Pichon expressed a positive attitude, drawing on nearly a century of cooperation, and said that local resources could be quickly mobilized to support operations when conditions permit, the enormous scale of the investment remains a source of concern for American oil companies. Analysts point out that rebuilding Venezuela’s damaged oil infrastructure could take years and require hundreds of billions of dollars in investment, while the recovery of production capacity will be relatively limited. Currently, Chevron is the only major U.S. oil company that continues to operate in Venezuela under a special U.S. license. U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated in a statement during the same period that it is unlikely Washington will provide financial subsidies, and the investment capital must come from the energy companies themselves and the market.
