Yeah…I’m wondering if the U.S., as in the federal government, worked a deal to own the mineral rights some areas of Venezuela, thereby parts of Venezuela will be involved in U.S. Federal Leases Sales.

That would mean our government receiving the lease bonus payments and the royalties (12.%), if that’s the case. Would be some interesting outside the box thinking, and would appear to be an overall win for America.

I'm just saying people look at total reserves as some savior when the real value is, how much can you get out of the ground at any one time from that source?


And at what price point?

President Trump has Chris Wright in hid cabinet and is very close friends with Harold Hamm. Between the two of them, I’m going to assume he, or whomever negotiated this deal, was advised on price points for producing certain reserves. Meaning, I’m hopeful it isn’t stuff where you need $150/bbl oil for it to make sense for companies to extract.

The numbers being discussed are $70-$80 per barrel makes it more than worthwhile and the estimated price to get it out of the ground is $10 per barrel

I know this will hurt your oil doom and gloom OT threads so I will pour one out for you

I find it very weird how some anonymous posters seem to be obsessed with other anonymous posters.

But ya'll do ya'll.

Secured control at no cost. That was very generous of the Venezualans. :)

That's the kind of problem you get when the government is actively managing the self inflicted decline.

And it is incredibly shitty oil


I want to believe that over 2/3 of US refineries are set up to run the thicker sour crude and it is cheaper to import that oil than to redo refineries to process the light sweet crude. It is also my understanding we export domestic light sweet crude to countries who are set up to run those viscosities.

And it's the same type of oil, heavy sour crude, that our refineries are set up to handle. It's very bad for Canada

Not without modifications from what I understand. Which for 65 billion barrels that seems worth the cost/labor to me.


We have several facilities that can refine Venezuelan crude

Who is going to pay the oil and service (net 30) to build the infrastructure to access those barrels?

Ain't you never seen the Beverly Hillbillies? Uncle Jed signs contract wt oil company. Oil company does what they have to to get the oil out and sell it. The oil itself pays to extract from ground and pays Uncle Jed plenty. Gee Wiz this ain't rocket surgery.

Iran is the nothing burger. It’s crippled China and Russia. They’re never gonna get nukes now. In like five people died this is a most successful military campaign in all of history.
