Big Oil: upstream M&A gets serious
US plans to turbocharge Venezuela's upstream sector have sparked intense debate as the industry weighs investment potential against significant risks and challenges. Despite strong White House rhetoric, we expect IOCs and NOCs to remain cautious about committing new capital to the region.
ExxonMobil has described the current situation as “uninvestable,” although it believes this could change. Companies with existing positions in Venezuela, such as Chevron and Repsol, see strong potential to increase output from current fields.
In this CSAS-driven video, we walk through portfolio metrics, strategic fit charts, and reserve maturity—demonstrating how country exposure is evaluated across major energy companies.
