12 Venezuela will continue to produce oil until the world demands it Venezuela s official proved oil reserves are 298 billion barrels (using a 20% recovery rate on the Orinoco Belt, for 257 billion barrels). The USGS estimates that 510 billion barrels would be ultimately recoverable in the Orinoco Belt (using a 45% recovery rate). Even using a 10% recovery rate Venezuela would have the second largest reserves after Saudi Arabia, at around 190 billion barrels (close to Canada s).

22 Worrisome trends in the oil industry: production and net exports down, limited exports cash-flow, heavier production basket, most productive fields declining, PDVSA s own-operated production collapsing. PDVSA s malaise: debt rising, investment stagnant, costs rising, and productivity collapsing. Pragmatism prevailing: Chevron contract, windfall tax exemption, exchange rate, operational control, strategic focus on extra-heavy blending, reduction in Petrocaribe and increase in US exports, etc. However, unlikely to have significant impact in the short term due to: low oil prices, cash-flow and human resources problems, and risk environment (macro-imbalances, credibility, instability, and security issues). However, if investor-friendly policies continue and the price environment / political stability help (particularly under a new government) production should reverse the negative trend. There is significant upside potential. 22
