The United States government believes a contract between Hunt Oil Company and Venezuela’s state oil company, PDVSA, will stimulate oil production. Venezuelan Minister of Hydrocarbons, Paula Henao, described Hunt Oil as a company with a strong track record focused on recovering production from the Caro and Carisito fields. The US Embassy echoed this sentiment, anticipating a positive impact on Venezuela's oil output. This agreement marks a significant development as Venezuela seeks to increase its oil production capacity, potentially impacting global energy markets. The move comes after the US relaxed some sanctions on Venezuela, allowing for increased oil investment. This collaboration aims to revitalize key oil fields and contribute to Venezuela’s economic recovery.
