According to the U.N., roughly 7.7 million Venezuelans have left their homeland in the last decade, more than a quarter of the population and almost certainly an undercount. It’s the largest mass displacement in the history of the Americas and one of the largest in the modern era anywhere in the world, by some estimates outpacing even the Syrian refugee crisis. Roughly three-quarters of a million people have arrived in the U.S. from Venezuela since 2022.

Trump wants Venezuelan Orinoco heavy crude oil. It is “sour” crude meaning lots of sulphur. Most Venezuelan crude is refined in Texas.

Valero imports almost half of the Orinoco crude.

We were there during the go go days of Orinoco exploration. Fun times!
