The authorities in Caracas announced last week that the countrys oil exports had surpassed those of the previous month though overall production still remained anchored below the 2021 average, just days after the administration of President Joe Biden made the decision to allow US oil major Chevron to return to Venezuela to add its technical weight to the boosting of the countrys oil industry. The nations oil exports totaled 619,300 barrels in the past month, which pales in comparison to the heyday of oil exports when the nation was said to have the greatest known oil deposits in the entire world.
