Chevron terminates contracts, but will keep staff in Venezuela, sources say

Chevron terminates contracts, but will keep staff in Venezuela, sources say

Chevron, the American oil giant, has made the decision to terminate its oil production, service, and procurement contracts in Venezuela. This move comes after the U.S. government revoked a key license for Chevron to operate in the country back in March. Despite this, Chevron plans to retain its direct staff in Venezuela, although it has delegated its joint-venture governance to its partner, the state-owned company PDVSA.

Recently, Chevron received a narrow authorization from the Trump administration that allows it to preserve its assets, including its joint-venture stakes, and retain its staff in Venezuela. This authorization comes after a two-month period to wind down transactions expired, effectively ending the license Chevron had to operate in the country.

The guidelines set forth in the new authorization are similar to a previous license Chevron had between 2020 and 2022, which was later expanded by the Biden administration to allow for the company’s expansion in Venezuela and the resumption of crude exports to the U.S.

Chevron, along with several European firms, had requested permits from the U.S. government to keep their assets in Venezuela amid the previous administration’s restrictive policies towards the nation. It is unclear at this time if other companies received similar instructions.

Under the new authorization, Chevron is prohibited from operating oilfields in Venezuela, exporting its oil, or expanding its activities in the country. The intention behind these restrictions is to avoid any possible payments to President Maduro’s administration.

Despite these challenges, PDVSA, the majority stakeholder in the joint ventures, remains committed to overseeing oilfield workers. However, Chevron’s implementation of extra compensation bonuses for its joint-venture workers may be suspended.

In addition, PDVSA is now responsible for overseeing the sales of crude produced by the joint ventures, potentially leading to a new accumulation of debt owed to Chevron. The state firm has already begun exporting heavy crude jointly produced earlier this month.

President Trump has accused Maduro of failing to make progress on migrant returns and electoral reforms, leading to the imposition of sanctions. Maduro, on the other hand, has rejected these sanctions, calling them an economic war.

As the situation continues to evolve, Chevron remains in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the sanctions framework provided by the U.S. government. Despite the challenges, both Chevron and PDVSA are working to navigate the complexities of the current situation in Venezuela.
