委内瑞拉的“重油”如何吸引美国垂涎

Group 1 - The U.S. aims to control Venezuela's oil industry, with President Trump stating that American oil companies are prepared to invest heavily to restore Venezuelan oil exports [1][2] - Venezuela primarily produces heavy crude oil, which is more complex to extract and refine compared to the light crude oil predominantly produced in the U.S. [1][2] - The existing U.S. refining facilities are not compatible with the light oil produced domestically, necessitating imports of heavy oil from Venezuela and other sources to meet domestic demand [2] Group 2 - Despite the potential for investment, major U.S. oil companies are currently taking a wait-and-see approach regarding Trump's call for investment in Venezuela's oil infrastructure [3] - The extraction of Venezuela's oil is complicated by its high viscosity and sulfur content, classifying it as "super heavy crude," which poses higher energy costs and environmental concerns [3] - There are significant uncertainties regarding the verification of Venezuela's oil reserves, as exploration investments have ceased, and extracting oil from the ground requires considerable time [3]
