U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated, "Chevron is being enabled to massively grow their business here [Venezuela]... we will see a pretty big put in rising Chevron production over the next 18 to 24 months." This is a direct government endorsement and regulatory green-light for Chevron to monetize Venezuela's vast reserves, which have been offline or underutilized due to sanctions. This adds a significant growth wedge to Chevron's upstream production. LONG. Explicit regulatory tailwind and volume growth guidance from a government official. Volatile Venezuelan politics or a reversal in U.S. foreign policy. |

Energy Secretary Wright confirms "active dialogues" regarding companies that lost assets in Venezuela (specifically answering a question about ConocoPhillips). He states the goal is to make Chinese/Russian influence "very small" and entice Western companies back. If the US government is politically backing the restitution of assets to US oil majors in Venezuela to secure supply and geopolitical alignment, companies like ConocoPhillips (COP) stand to recover written-off assets or gain access to cheap reserves. LONG. Geopolitical tailwinds are shifting in favor of US legacy energy producers. Venezuela's political instability or failure to honor new agreements. |

US Energy Secretary Wright states Chevron is being enabled to "massively grow their business" in Venezuela with production rising over the next 18-24 months. Anchors note a breakout in "AMP stocks" like ConocoPhillips and EOG. The geopolitical shift and removal of sanctions/regime change in Venezuela directly benefits US oil majors with legacy assets there. Chevron is the primary beneficiary, but the "spigots opening" lifts the peer group. LONG US oil majors with Venezuela exposure or E&P breakout potential. Political instability in Venezuela; oil price volatility. |
