Venezuela's Methane Problem Looms Over Trump's Oil Revival Plan
President Trump's push to revive Venezuela's oil sector is colliding with a major technical obstacle: vast methane leaks from crumbling infrastructure that could scare off large international investors, according to Bloomberg.
Satellite monitoring shows huge plumes of methane rising from abandoned rigs, corroded pipelines and aging facilities across the country.

It sailed under the Guyanese flag from Iran to Venezuela and attempted to break the US' blockade. It failed, turned around, changed its name to the Marinera, and received a temporary permit to sail under the Russian flag before being seized.
