🛢️ What U.S. Oil Companies Are Thinking
There are two main reactions:
🟡 Big Oil Producers (like ExxonMobil, Chevron)
Many big oil companies are being careful about jumping in too fast.
They are worried about legal and political risks, because Venezuela’s government and laws are unstable.
They also need strong security and clear rules before spending a lot of money. �

🔵 Oil Services Companies (like Halliburton, SLB, Baker Hughes)
These companies don’t produce oil themselves — they supply machines and services to fix oil wells and pipelines.
They are excited about returning because Venezuela needs major work to rebuild its oil fields.
This means they could get a lot of business sooner than big oil producers. �
