Javier Blas reports that Exxon Mobil is in discussions to acquire rights to produce oil in Venezuela, nearly two decades after the company was effectively expelled from the country.
A deal could be announced as soon as this month, according to reporting from the New York Times referenced by Blas.
Blas recently noted a rebound in the physical oil market as Asian refiners increased spot purchases, although prices have stayed below April highs (link). In a separate report, he highlighted Beijing’s move to cut oil imports by about a quarter from prewar levels, boosting crude supply to global markets (link). These developments come as major producers and buyers adjust to shifting supply and demand.
