Venezuelan crude oil production has surged to 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd) in March 2026—up from sub-1 million bpd early in the year—following eased U.S. sanctions after the January capture of former President Maduro and new production pacts with Chevron and Shell. Service firms are reactivating rigs stored since prior disruptions, boosting Orinoco Belt output and driving April exports to a seven-year high of 1.23 million bpd. This recovery adds to Latin America's projected 8.8 million bpd supply in 2026, pressuring global heavy crude differentials amid steady Brent around $80. Traders eye sustained foreign direct investment and political stability as key to further gains, with monthly OPEC reports and June EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook as pivotal catalysts ahead of year-end resolution thresholds.
