Trump says Exxon going into Venezuela as US secures oil deal

President Trump announced Monday that Exxon Mobil is among oil companies planning to do business in Venezuela, touting a deal that would grant the U.S. access to about 20% of Venezuela's crude reserves and more than double U.S. oil reserves. Trump said Exxon, Chevron, and other big oil companies are bidding, and that the U.S. is taking out millions of barrels of oil from Venezuela for Gulf Coast refineries. Exxon has not commented on the claim, and its CEO Darren Woods previously called Venezuela uninvestable, though the company said in March it would send a technical team to study opportunities. The agreement, announced Friday, gives the U.S. a direct financial stake in a private company led by Alejandro Betancourt, which would receive century-long rights to 65 billion barrels of reserves. Betancourt's company, already the second-largest private producer in Venezuela behind Chevron, plans to deploy over 50 drilling rigs and has acquired 23 new rigs from U.S. contractors Helmerich & Payne, Precision Drilling, and Patterson-UTI Energy.
