Venezuela is re-emerging as a market of significant strategic interest. Home to one of the world’s largest hydrocarbon resource bases and existing offshore and nearshore infrastructure, the country presents a rare combination of scale, complexity, and long-term potential. Recent geopolitical developments and evolving international engagement are beginning to reshape the operating landscape, creating renewed interest from global industry participants.

This discussion will provide a practical, execution-focused perspective on doing business in Venezuela, moving beyond macro-level narratives to address the realities of project development and delivery in the current environment. The discussion will focus on key considerations across commercial, legal, and operational dimensions, including:

• Navigating regulatory frameworks, sanctions exposure, and compliance requirements
• Structuring partnerships with national entities and international stakeholders
• Contracting strategies and risk allocation in complex jurisdictions
• Supply chain challenges and local content requirements
• Execution considerations for brownfield reactivation and new offshore developments
• Lessons learned from prior cycles and implications for future investment

The objective is to equip attendees with a balanced understanding of both the opportunity and the execution realities, enabling informed decision-making as the industry evaluates its next phase of offshore growth.
