What this could mean for you
If implemented, the expansion could add Venezuelan crude to future oil supply, but the announcement does not establish when the target output will be reached.
Development depends on the updated agreements and added acreage being put into operation; the sources do not give a construction or production timetable beyond the five-year investment plan.
Possible consequences, not a forecast. Their relevance depends on your location and the conditions above.
