Recent political transition and broad U.S. sanctions relief have unlocked foreign capital and licensing, driving Venezuelan crude output to approximately 1.2 million barrels per day in August 2026 per OPEC primary sources—the highest level in seven years. Chevron’s announced $7 billion, five-year investment targets doubling its joint-venture volumes to 600,000 bpd, while PDVSA sets a 1.3 million bpd goal for full-year 2026 and additional operators including Eni advance field development. Market-implied odds reflect these near-term catalysts alongside persistent risks from infrastructure constraints, diluent supply, and execution timelines. Traders will monitor September–December output data and rig deployment progress for resolution signals.

The resolution source for this market will be the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report, published each month in reference to the previous month at https://www.opec.org/monthly-oil-market-report.html. The relevant figure can be found in “Table 5-7 DoC crude oil production based on secondary sources, tb/d” under the column for the relevant month and the “Venezuela” row.
This market will resolve as soon as Venezuelan crude oil production is reported to be greater than or equal to the listed number. If the listed number has not been reached for any month by the release of the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report for the reference month December 2026 (expected to be released in January 2027), this market will resolve to “No”. If no Opec Monthly Oil Market Report for the reference month December 2026 has been published by February 28, 2027, ET and the listed number has not been reached for any prior month, this market will resolve to “No”.
