In recent weeks the oil industry has experienced considerable changes driven by actions taken by both US authorities and Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA. The revocation of several permits that once allowed American giant Chevron to load and export Venezuelan crude oil marks a pivotal moment in the evolving regulatory landscape. These measures come on the heels of US sanctions which have led to a broader tightening of control over Venezuelan oil exports—a move that has reshaped global supply chains and altered market dynamics.
Recent geopolitical and economic shifts have once again caught the attention of the global energy sector. US government officials recently informed international partners of Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA that their export licenses—once allowing the purchase of Venezuelan crude oil and refined products—will soon be annulled, according to sources close to President Donald Trump's administration. This decision represents a fundamental change in the international trade policy regarding Venezuelan oil amid a series of US sanctions.
