The Venezuelan regime signed a contract with the American company Hunt Oil to develop the oil and gas fields Caro and Carisito, located in the east of the country. The agreement establishes a model of productive participation aimed at recovering and increasing production in both areas as part of the economic recovery plan promoted by the Trump administration.
The Minister of Hydrocarbons, Paula Henao, reported on the agreement during an official visit to the United States. The official highlighted Hunt Oil's experience and noted that the company's main objective will be to recover production from the fields and contribute to their development.
The contract represents a new step in the strategy of the regime of Delcy Rodríguez to attract foreign capital and technology to the Venezuelan energy sector. The oil industry is the main source of income for the country, and authorities are seeking to increase production through agreements with international private companies.
Caro and Carisito are among the areas that require investments to recover their productive capacity. Hunt Oil's participation will allow for the incorporation of capital, technology, and technical expertise.
The agreement also comes at a time of increasing rapprochement between Venezuela and American companies thanks to the government of Donald Trump. In recent months, various international companies have begun to evaluate new opportunities in the Venezuelan energy sector.
