Based on the newest knowledge introduced by the Power Data Administration (EIA), Venezuela rose to sixth place within the rating of crude oil exporters USA.
Based on these knowledge, Venezuelan crude oil exports to the North American nation stood at 177 thousand barrels per day (bpd) through the month of March of this 12 months, which interprets right into a year-on-year enhance of 62%.
From the standpoint of this rating, it’s important, provided that In February, Venezuela fell again to tenth place by exporting 142 thousand barrels per day, after being surpassed by Guyana with 227 thousand barrels per day.
On a quarterly foundation, Venezuela’s crude oil exports grew 56% in comparison with the common reached within the first quarter of 2023. From January to March 2024, the nation averaged 157 thousand barrels per day, whereas final 12 months on the identical dates it was 69,600 barrels per day, as reported by Banking and Enterprise.
The primary three locations stay immovable, since Canada leads this rating with 3,852,000 bpd; adopted by Mexicowhich though its exports have fallen by 43% year-on-year, stays second by exporting some 409 thousand bpd. Third place goes to Saudi Arabia though its exports fell by 22% in comparison with March 2023, exporting 351 thousand bpd.

Extra knowledge mirrored by the EIA pertains to the US import quota from OPEC and non-OPEC nations in March: 1,029,000 and 5,167,000, respectively.
This reveals that the US has a particular choice for crude oil imports from nations that don’t belong to the group, though a big a part of these imports come from its neighbors Canada and Mexico. Each nations don’t belong to OPEC and have traditionally been key gamers within the nation’s power demand.
We additionally keep in mind that In March, Normal License No. 44 from the Division of the Treasury’s Workplace of Overseas Belongings Management (OFAC) had not but expired, which gave PDVSA the ability to promote crude oil to the US market and typically to any nation. That license expired in mid-April, so The street to a full restoration nonetheless presents many challenges.
Earlier than the license was revoked, analysts anticipated PDVSA to ship extra crude oil to the market and, the truth is, the rebound noticed with the EIA knowledge appears to substantiate this forecast.
Now, the OFAC Normal License No. 41which permits Chevron to export what it produces within the nation, stays in impact, so there might not be a big drop in Venezuela’s crude oil exports to the nation.
