据新华社报道，美国白宫已要求美国各大石油公司对委内瑞拉大量投资，修复委内瑞拉原油开采基础设 施。 在委内瑞拉政局动荡之际，美国试图主导该国石油工业复兴，但这将是一项耗资千亿美元且充满不确定 性的长期挑战。重建委内瑞拉石油基础设施并将其产量恢复至峰值水平，预计需要在未来十年内每年投 资约100亿美元，总成本或超1000亿美元。 此外，位于加拉加斯西北海岸的大型Paraguana炼油中心因设备故障只能间歇性低速运行，部分曾经最 先进的原油升级设施已经关闭。 政治僵局：投资者的首要顾虑 尽管特朗普声称委内瑞拉副总统Delcy Rodriguez目前负责该国事务，但她作为马杜罗的坚定盟友，其掌 权并未给市场带来足够的信心。Lino Carrillo在采访中直言："任何石油公司要认真对待在委内瑞拉的投 资，都需要有一个新的国会或国民议会。绝不是现在发生的情况。" 据莱斯大学贝克公共政策研究所拉美能源政策主任Francisco Monaldi指出，经过多年的腐败、投资不 足、火灾和盗窃，委内瑞拉的原油基础设施已支离破碎。要将其产量恢复至1970年代的峰值水平，雪佛 龙、埃克森美孚和康菲石油等公司需要在未来十年内每年投资约 ...

（原标题：美国务卿鲁比奥：西方油企或重返委内瑞拉，美制裁将延续至石油业治理改革落地） 鲁比奥称，他本人最近几天没有与美国石油公司高管交谈，但表示如果限制措施放宽，白宫预计西方公 司将展现出"巨大兴趣"。他补充说，在条件合适的情况下，私营企业将渴望重新进入市场。 "我认为，如果给予空间和机会，私营工业界将会有巨大的需求和兴趣参与进来，"他说。 目前，雪佛龙(CVX.US)是唯一一家在委内瑞拉运营的美国石油生产商，其依据是华盛顿授予的特殊许 可证。 委内瑞拉拥有世界上最大的已探明石油储量，目前仍继续每日出口数十万桶石油。然而，鲁比奥表示， 即使在前领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗被推翻后，美国仍将对受制裁的委内瑞拉石油保持严格的执法立场。 "如果你是一艘受制裁的船只，并且正驶往委内瑞拉，你将在驶入或驶出的途中被扣押，"他在描述制裁 制度对马杜罗前政府具有"毁灭性"打击时说道。 智通财经APP获悉，美国国务卿马可·鲁比奥上周日表示，特朗普政府预计西方能源公司对于重返委内 瑞拉将表现出浓厚兴趣，但未明确说明美国是否会派遣军队保护石油基础设施。 鲁比奥在采访中表示，美国政府关注的焦点并非对石油资产的物理控制，而是强制执行与该国能 ...

据委内瑞拉石油公司文件和知情人士的说法，储油罐和浮动存储设施最近几周被迅速注满，委内瑞 拉多处油田或将被迫进一步减产。委内瑞拉石油公司对此说法暂无回应。 委内瑞拉已探明石油储量约占全球已探明储量的17%，居世界首位，但近年来由于美国封锁等原 因，其石油产能已严重下降。美国能源信息局数据显示，20世纪末，委内瑞拉日产原油高达350万桶， 目前仅为100万桶左右，2025年11月出口原油92.1万桶。 新华社北京1月4日电 美军3日掳走委内瑞拉总统马杜罗数小时后，美国总统特朗普毫不掩饰对控制 这个南美国家石油资源的野心，声称美国石油企业已做好在委内瑞拉大举投资的准备，以恢复委石油出 口，"为美国赚钱"。 重返委内瑞拉？美国油企暂观望 在美国封锁下，委内瑞拉石油出口如今处于瘫痪状态。行业分析人士指出，即使美国油企愿重返委 内瑞拉，受制于基础设施不足、局势不稳等因素，特朗普想让委石油出口服务于美国利益的愿望短期内 难实现。 特朗普展望未来能在委内瑞拉石油上大赚一笔，但美国多家油企对此持谨慎态度，表示将密切关注 委内瑞拉局势。 大举投资在即？封锁仍在持续 美军发动针对委内瑞拉军事行动后，特朗普随即在记者会上宣称，美国大 ...

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. President Trump announced the full implementation of an oil embargo against Venezuela, suggesting that with U.S. support, Venezuela's struggling oil industry could experience a "revival" and generate significant profits [1][3].

Group 2: Challenges to Reviving the Oil Industry - Reviving Venezuela's oil sector will require substantial investment, with estimates suggesting that increasing production by 500,000 barrels per day could cost around $10 billion and take approximately two years [5]. - The complex political situation poses a significant challenge, as U.S. companies may need to assume quasi-government roles in rebuilding the industry, which could lead to complications [6]. - A comprehensive approach akin to a "Marshall Plan" may be necessary to effectively restart Venezuela's energy sector, rather than merely extracting oil [6]. Group 3: Market Reactions - Chevron is currently the only major Western oil company operating in Venezuela, accounting for about a quarter of the country's total production, with half of its output exported to the U.S. [7]. - Following the news of Maduro's arrest, Chevron initially expressed support for a peaceful transition but later revised its statement to a more neutral position, emphasizing compliance with laws and regulations [7]. - Despite the geopolitical developments, analysts believe that oil prices are unlikely to experience immediate significant fluctuations due to an oversupply in the global market [7].
