Venezuela's Orinco breakeven was $49.26 a barrel in 2020, so it's almost certainly higher now

Donald Trump wants a Venezuelan oil reboot. But years of neglect have left corroded tanks, leaking pipelines and collapsing production

Hopefully, this isn’t true.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.
