On Thursday, January 22, at 3:00 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, joined by the Global Energy Center, will host an in-person deep dive discussion on Venezuelan oil reserves, the state of the country’s energy infrastructure, and the strategic role Venezuelan oil could play in global markets.
Since the United States removed Nicolás Maduro from power, Venezuela’s oil reserves have moved to the center of conversations over the country’s future.
The event will explore the current landscape of Venezuela’s oil sector, examining the condition of its oil infrastructure and the policy and investment considerations shaping reengagement.
New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time. Registration for this event will close at 5:00 p.m. ET the day prior.
