The oil fields in Venezuela are not going to come fully online overnight. It is going to take some time to get the oil flowing fully.

... How much Venezuelan oil is produced daily?
About 860,000 barrels per day (bpd) in November of 2025, according to the International Energy Agency ...


Q2. What kind of oil exists in Venezuela?

Heavy and sour crude oil is what it's called (and much of it is extra-heavy or tar-like). Heavy means more dense, and sour means a high content of sulfur which damages insides of metal pipes.Some of this requires extra processing to become light enough for transport. The U.S. imports heavy oil because some of its refineries on the Gulf Coast were designed to take heavy oil.

Q3. Is this heavy, sour oil hard to produce?

Yes. Primary production in the Orinoco Belt relies on reservoir pressure driving oil into vertical wells or wells with horizontal extensions of 3,000 " 6,000 feet. But this is limited because it can only recover 8% - 12% of the original oil. Secondary and tertiary recovery methods are needed. Although more difficult, they can lead to 20% recovery, or even higher.

Secondary recovery includes waterflooding or gas injection which includes huff-and-puff mode. Diluents, such as naptha or light oil, are needed to lower viscosity so the oil can flow easier through wells and pipes. ...

The Trump Organization eyes real estate deal in Saudi government development (November 2025)
www.middleeasteye.net

... The Trump Organization is in talks to build a branded property in one of Saudi Arabia's largest government-owned real estate developments.

The chief executive of the Saudi company leading the development told The New York Times that a deal between the Trump Organization and Diriyah development would be announced "soon".

"Nothing announced yet, but soon to be," Jerry Inzerillo said, adding it was "just a matter of time" before the Trump Organization reached a deal.

Diriyah is the original home of the ruling Al-Saud family and includes a mud brick village that is a listed Unesco World Heritage site. The city, a 20-minute drive from Riyadh, is undergoing a $63bn development into a luxury destination with hotels, restaurants, shops, and museums. US President Donald Trump toured the site in May during his visit to the kingdom.

"It turned out to be a good stroke of luck and maybe a little bit clever of us to say, OK, let's appeal to him as a developer' - and he loved it," Inzerillo told the NYT. ...

Video Link: Marco Rubio Screed

"In a speech delivered to European heads of state at the Security Conference in Munich, Marco Rubio declared war on all non-European non-white peoples inside the US and around the world.

This incompetent Trumpf junta member made clear that America was, and should again be, a white country: "Our home may be in the Western Hemisphere, but we will always be a child of Europe."

To the detriment of more than 140 million Americans who are not white and do not issue from Europe, the intergalactically vapid Rubio unflinchingly bleated: "We want allies who are proud of their culture and of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to the same great and noble civilization, and who, together with us, are willing and able to defend it."

Lest Europe forget, the most underqualified US Secretary of State that America ever suffered with, reminded it of its own Christian identity: "The United States and Europe, we belong together. America was founded 250 years ago, but the roots began here on this continent long before. The man who settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on our shores carrying the memories and the traditions and the Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an unbreakable link between the old world and the new."

USSECSTATE Rubio is also instituting loyalty tests for State Dept employees: Worst USSECSTATE Ever

Marco Rubio was vetted for his position as USSECSTATE by mega-oligarch Larry Ellison, strictly on his fealty to Israel. This good-for-nothing billionaire is a close friend of ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, which says it all.

Source: Just Who is Marco Rubio Loyal To?

Dummkopf's Trumpf's bootlicker at Foggy Bottom is an Empty Suit that is devoid of independent thought, ideas, principles, honor, and character. And yet Marco Rubio walks in the footsteps of Thomas Jefferson, George C. Marshall, and Dr. Henry Kissinger. "Blech!"
