Maduro Desperately Selling Assets to Pay US$ 3.7bn in Debts
In an effort to handle its overdue debts, Venezuela is all but giving away oil assets. President Nicolás Maduro is reportedly so desperate to pay the US$ 3.7 billion in debts that he is selling off the assets to Russia.
They offered to sell Russia a share of PetroPiar, which is 30% owned by Chevron and which PDVSA has a 70% stake in. It also expropriated ConocoPhillips’ 40% shareholdings, which has not been paid yet.
Likewise, PDVSA offered Rosneft 10% of a project developed to extract the extra-heavy oil from the Orinoco Oil Belt.
If the transactions go through, Chevron would be affected negatively, as it would be associating with Rosneft, a company that faces sanctions imposed by the United States.
Venezuela has also reportedly been talking to a Japanese investment bank to try to obtain fresh funds.
Venezuela managed to pay US$ 725 million in overdue debt last month, but with difficulty, as it came 30 days late.
