Venezuela and the Strait of Hormuz

The article discusses the possibility of Venezuela leaving the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), amid debates about improving its relations with the United States and increasing its investments in the oil sector. Although Venezuela has not officially announced its exit yet, it is moving toward developing long-term partnerships with American companies to exploit its oil fields and boost production, especially given the decline in U.S. strategic reserves and the risk of disruptions in the global oil market. If these partnerships succeed, Venezuela could shift from a country constrained by OPEC's restrictions to a potential source of additional supplies, thereby enhancing U.S. influence in the oil market and threatening OPEC’s position—particularly given its challenges in controlling its production quotas. Overall, Venezuela’s exit from the organization could alter the balance of power in the global oil market and affect the competition among producers, especially as tensions rise over oil supply security amid the Hormuz Strait crisis.
