Is Chavez Taking Too Many Oil Risks?

Posted by Matt in November 30th, 2007

Oil experts say Venezuelan production is slipping and Chávez’s industry policy for the long term is risky. Venezuela, like Mexico and Iran, needs reinvestment and foreign investment to keep its $100 billion industry in prime condition. But with China’s and India’s demand for crude inspiring projections for exponential growth and the U.S.’s determination to remain a slave to oil, the oil industry may well have hit a point when the short term is the long term–every barrel not pumped today will be worth more tomorrow. “The Venezuelans are investing as much as they want to,” says economist Mark Weisbrot, a co-director of the Center for Economic Policy and Research in Washington. “That is, they’re not in a hurry at all to expand production.”

http://www.telesurtv.net/noticias/secciones/nota/index.php?ckl=27726-NN El presidente de Ecuador, Rafael Correa, desestimó este sábado las acusaciones del Gobierno colombiano y la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA, por sus siglas en inglés) que pretenden vincular a su gobierno y al de Venezuela con las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). Durante su programa "Diálogo con el presidente", el mandatario ecuatoriano señaló que Estados Unidos arremete contra Venezuela porque saben que las pruebas contra Ecuador son muy débiles. Destacó que tanto su gobierno como el de Venezuela "no tienen nada que ver con las FARC" y eso lo sabrán demostrar ambos países. "Quieren apostarle a Venezuela para hacerle daño, pero en todo caso (el presidente Hugo Chávez) sabrá...

Iran & Venezuela Axis Of Oil
Please keep all comments and debates civil, no vulgarities, ECT... I find it hard to believe the claim of $50 to convert a vehicle to natural gas. The cost of a tank or carburetor/injector system would exceed $50. I suspect the cost is far greater than $50. I think someone might have slipped a digit. I would find $500 more believable. I suspect the Iranian conversion does not meet US emission or safety standards.

Preview - Now the people have awoken
visit www.venezueladoc.com for more info. Exploring Venezuela's revolution - Except for beauty queens and oil, Venezuela has never been on the international stage. Now Venezuela is at the center of international controversy: to some it has been stolen by a populist dictator, while for others Venezuela represents the centre of a continent-wide democratic revolution. There is much at stake: Venezuela sits atop the biggest oil reserves in the world and is successfully defiant of US foreign policy. This is a documentary about the Bolivarian Revolution, through the eyes of analysts, and the people who are changing their country and the Latinamerican continent as a whole. Filmed during the 2006 presidential elections with interviews from Noam Chomsky, Eva Golinger, Paul Buchanan, Greg Wilpert...

http://www.allamericangold.com/ Chavez Says Attack by the U.S. Would Cause $500 Oil Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said crude oil would rise to ``$400 or $500'' a barrel in the event of a U.S. attack on his country, the biggest petroleum exporter in the Americas. The reactivation of the U.S. Fourth Fleet in the Caribbean on July 1 and what he said is a possible U.S. base on the Guajira Peninsula, shared by Venezuela and Colombia, are both threats, Chavez said in a speech broadcast last night from the military academy. Colombian Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos said his country doesn't plan to give the U.S. a base on the Guajira, EFE newswire reported yesterday. Chavez, who has long criticized the U.S. role in Latin America and warned that oil could rise to $200 a barrel in the case...

Iraq? -for oil?
A short video that examines the notion that the U.S. was motivated to attack Iraq for oil. As America tries to exit Iraq, the type of government left in control of Iraq and it's oil reserves is a crucial factor for a lot of people, including big business, but was oil really what launched the war in March 2003? According to Iraq oil expert Mohammad Al-Gallani at British-based GeoDesign Ltd, Iraq has 526 prospective drilling sites, of which only 125 have been drilled. Of those, 90 have proven potential as oil fields, but only 30 have been partially developed and just 12 are on stream.

Mumia Abu-Jamal -- The Venezuelan Vote
The Americans have targeted the Chavez regime, ostensibly because of the anti-democratic nature of the regime. In fact, as in a nation on the other side of the world, rap about 'democracy' masks something else. Venezuela matters to Washington because of one thing — oil. And it isn't that Venezuela isn't interested in selling its prize natural resource to the Americans — it is. It's that a truly independent Venezuela, one which chooses its own friends, which dares to establish its own foreign relations, creates a bad example for other Latin American nations, which are almost all under the heel of U.S. business and International Monetary Fund (IMF) domination. In April, 2002, the U.S. backed a military-business coup against President Hugo Chavez, when the nation's leader was taken...

Joe Kennedy attacked for receiving heating oil from Venez
Cavuto speaks with Congressman Joe Kennedy who heads a non profit that tries to acquire heating oil for poor people in the Northeast. Kennedy has been attacked by another Congressman who says Kennedy should apologize to America for taking oil from Chavez BUUUUUT Kennedy points out who else takes oil and it is hypocrtical to ask only his small non profit to stop. Also at the end of this video Cavuto tries and fails to be a Cheney apologist regarding Halliburton and their ties to bad countries prior to his becoming VP.

Fire in Oil Tower 14
This is the first of a series of videos I collected from some PDVSA engineers. You can see the impressive force of nature, being impossible to handle and, in some cases, to run away. In all of this cases, the detonator was a mishandled of the well perforator (made in china). The mud was not properly controlled and the oil pressure finally blow the entire well. This happened in Monagas, Venezuela - 2007. This video was re-coded to reduce the file size (from MPG to DivX/mp3).
