Chevron has already loaded its first ship with Venezuelan oil for the US and is preparing the second

American oil company Chevron completed the work of loading crude oil from Venezuela and is preparing the arrival of a second freighter for this week, according to Argus, a medium specializing in hydrocarbons matters.

This first batch of commercial reconciliation at the energy level between the North American nation and the Government of Nicolás Maduro occurs after the administration of former President Joe Biden granted Chevron the power to expand its businesses on plains soil.

The ship will carry a total of 250,000 barrels of oil from ports in the Bajo Grande region of Venezuela’s Zulia state. This is the first shipment of ‘black gold’ from that country to the United States, four years after a trade sanction for allegedly fraudulent elections for Maduro’s re-election.

The Beauty One ship arrived in Venezuela on December 21 and, although the data collected by Argus does not confirm that Chevron is the charterer, several analysts take the transaction for granted, which successfully puts an end to the negotiations that PDVSA began in November of this year. 2022.

It is known that the vessel, built in 1993, has been carrying out cabotage operations in recent months off the coast of the South American country. The general license 41 granted by the Biden Administration to the company that refines 1.8 million barrels per day could be crowned at any time with its sailing.

The American Chevron is expected to deliver a second oil tanker next Thursday, January 5, this time to load Venezuelan oil in the state of Anzoátegui. The Chevron-chartered UACC Eagle carries 620,400 barrels of naphtha, a crucial diluent for Orinoco heavy crude, according to Vortexa.

In the same way, there is speculation about the arrival of the Caribbean Voyager, commissioned by Chevron, to transport improved Merey 16, a name for a heavy crude manufactured from a mixture of crudes from eastern Venezuela. Boarding, scheduled for this weekend, would take place at the José terminal, to the east.
