Venezuela has made significant progress in
its oil industry. Between January and September 2025, Petrleos de
Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) had a turnover of US$ 11.7 billion for crude oil exports,
exceeding the revenues obtained in the same period of 2024.
Despite the blockade and sanctions imposed by the
United States, Venezuela achieved an 18% increase in oil exports
compared to the previous year, with an average of 856,800 barrels per day
sold during the first nine months of the year.
Although the price of Merey crude oil was
between 8 and 9 dollars below the value recorded in 2024, the increase in the
volume exported made it possible to compensate for the fall in international prices.
This achievement is part of a
national energy recovery strategy that has included the diversification of
trade routes, the strengthening of bilateral relations with allied countries, and active cooperation with partners of
the Organization of
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Thanks to these efforts, Venezuela has maintained its presence
in the international market, overcoming financial and logistical obstacles
derived from sanctions.
The country's commitment to stabilizing
the global energy market and its ability to adapt to
external restrictions reflect a resilient oil policy, aimed at economic
recovery and the strengthening of its energy sovereignty.
