Exxon Eyes Venezuela Return Nearly Two Decades After Nationalization Exit
ExxonMobil is negotiating a return to Venezuela's Orinoco Belt, eyeing the Petromonagas heavy-oil project and neighboring Carabobo assets, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. No deal has been finalized, and Exxon and state oil company PDVSA did not immediately respond to Reuters.
Petromonagas also has a Russian state-owned shareholder - though it remains unclear how that existing interest would affect any transaction.
The talks follow months of caution from Exxon's leadership. In January, CEO Darren Woods called Venezuela "uninvestable" under its then-existing legal and commercial framework and sought durable investment protections before returning.

Beyond Oil And Gold: Venezuela Readies First US Aluminum Shipment In Years As Resource Race Heats Up
Venezuela is emerging as a source of energy and critical materials for the US as the Trump administration expands sourcing channels within the Western Hemisphere. Existing crude trade and a gold supply agreement with Caracas are being paired with efforts to develop broader industrial metal ties, including potential access to nickel and iron ore. That expansion may now include aluminum.
Bloomberg reports 15,000 metric tons of aluminum produced by state-owned Venalum could depart Venezuela by the end of the week under a deal involving Mercuria Energy Group and Heeney.
US officials could announce the deal earlier this week during the G20 energy summit in Houston. Folks familiar with the shipment say it is worth nearly $50 million and would be modest relative to US consumption.
The outlet previously reported that Mercuria and New York-based mining investment firm Heeney are in discussio...
