🛢️ OIL NEWS: Massive increase in reserves in the U.S. and pressure in the market
The energy market remains under pressure following the latest macro data:
📊 1. Crude inventories jump
According to the API report (American Petroleum Institute), U.S. crude inventories increased by 11.4 million barrels in the week ended February 20. The figure far exceeded market expectations (a modest rise of just 1.9 million was expected).
⛽ 2. Gasoline and distillates fall
Despite an oversupply of crude, inventories of refined products such as gasoline and distillates showed declines, maintaining a certain divergence in the supply/demand balance.
🌐 3. Tariffs and trade policy
Macroeconomic uncertainty is rising after the global import tariff, driven by the U.S. administration, took effect, along with plans to raise it from 10% to 15%.
🏛️ 4. OPEC+ in focus
Traders are focusing on the OPEC+ meeting on March 1. Although the balances suggest the market does not need more barrels, ING analysts expect the group could resume supply increases starting in April.
🤔 How do you see the impact on the markets?
Do you think this oversupply will pull oil prices lower?
what I think is that if there is another conflict on $BZ
and the $CL it will go back up.

Bloomberg: U.S. businessman sold his stake in an oil company in Venezuela
The deal was signed last Friday afternoon, shortly before the U.S. Treasury Department notified the energy executive’s lawyer, Harry Sargeant III, of various actions regarding his company.
Florida-based magnate and energy businessman Harry Sargeant III agreed to sell his holdings in Venezuela’s second-largest oil producer, after receiving “heavy pressure” from the U.S. to carry out his exit.
According to Bloomberg, sources connected to the transaction said that last Friday, Sargeant III signed an agreement worth US$300 million to sell Bluewave Properties Ltd., in which he held a minority stake in North American Blue Energy Partners (NABEP).
The sources added that the buyer would have been someone close to Venezuelan businessman Alejandro Betancourt, who is the majority shareholder of the NABEP consortium.
Harry Sargeant III was under “intense pressure” from the U.S. government under President Donald Trump to get rid of his stake in the company in Venezuela.
In that regard, the U.S. Treasury Department froze the assets of Bluewave Properties Ltd., and an independent license from the U.S. agency allowed the businessman to dispose of his interests in the corporation.
It is important to note that Bluewave Properties Ltd. is not on the sanctions list until Monday. However, the company operates as if it were sanctioned, according to the sources cited by the international outlet.

India's ONGC expects to soon sign agreements with Venezuela to operate two oil blocks
Anupam Agarwal, CFO of Indian energy company ONGC, highlighted that they now have the freedom to work on Venezuela's oil projects.
India's largest state-owned oil exploration and production company, Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), expects to soon sign agreements with Venezuela in order to operate two oil blocks under the new Hydrocarbons Law, recently approved by the Venezuelan Parliament.
According to Reuters, ONGC has a 40% stake in the San Cristóbal field, as well as an 18% interest, together with other Indian companies, in the Carabobo-1 project.
ONGC's CFO, Anupam Agarwal, said during a telephone conference with analysts after the company's second-quarter results presentation that “we now have full freedom to work on Venezuela projects.”
“Previously, we were limiting our operations there due to the risk related to sanctions,” he added, while noting that the Caribbean nation offered additional incentives under its new hydrocarbons regulations.
The Indian businessman said they believe “very soon we will see some positive developments, the signing of the new agreements, and the fact that we will take over the operation of some of those projects that are currently managed by PDVSA.”

🛢️ Oil falls 9%: What’s happening and why it matters?
A drop of this magnitude in the price of oil usually grabs the attention of markets because it can affect multiple sectors of the economy.
📉 When oil drops sharply, some possible effects are:
✅ Lower costs for industries that depend on transportation and energy.
✅ Pressure on the shares of oil companies.
✅ Changes in inflation expectations.
✅ Higher volatility in financial markets.
However, a decline isn’t always bad news. It’s important to understand what’s causing it:
🔹 Has oil supply increased?
🔹 Is global demand expected to be lower?
🔹 Were there geopolitical factors or decisions by major producers?
As investors, we shouldn’t react only to the headline. Analyzing the context behind the move is what makes the difference between speculating and making informed decisions.
💡 Big moves in oil often impact stocks, commodities, currencies, and even, indirectly, the cryptocurrency market.
👇 Do you think this drop is a buying opportunity or the start of a bearish trend? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

The Sergipe Alagoas Basin gained prominence in the oil and gas sector after the identification of significant deep-water reserves. Previously considered a less relevant area compared to other producing regions in the country, the basin took center stage with recent discoveries carried out by the #petrobras s, which experts point to as the largest Brazilian discovery since the pre-salt era.
The project, officially known as Sergipe Deep Waters (Sergipe Águas Profundas), brings together reservoirs with estimates ranging from 5.8 billion to 24.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas in place, according to the assessed area. In addition to the production potential of #petróleo a, the expectation is that the venture may add up to 18 million cubic meters of natural gas per day to the national grid, strengthening the country’s energy supply.
In 2026, the project received approval for an investment of about 60 billion reais. The plan includes the installation of two large production platforms, with the potential to extract, over the life of the field, more than 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent, consolidating the region as one of the main frontiers for oil and gas extraction in the #brasil

Reuters: Venezuela’s refineries demand a multi-billion-dollar investment to operate
The attention of Venezuelan authorities is focused on addressing the damage left by the earthquakes in the country.
An investigation published by Reuters revealed that the Paraguaná Refining Center is currently operating at a minimal fraction of its installed capacity.
The report highlights that this complex in Falcón state, made up of the Amuay and Cardón refineries, has the potential to process 955,000 barrels of oil per day, but a lack of maintenance and widespread deterioration prevent it from producing enough fuel.
According to data collected by Reuters with energy policy analyst Oswaldo Felizzola and various industry experts, fully restoring Venezuela’s refining capacity requires an investment of at least $20 billion.
Deterioration and lack of maintenance at the Amuay refinery
Workers at the industrial complex report a critical condition in Amuay’s structures, the country’s largest refining plant with capacity for 645,000 barrels per day.
Operational areas look rusted and neglected, with waste pits in the open air at the limit of their capacity and constant leaks in pipelines and valve stations. These recurring technical failures prevent the continuous processing of hydrocarbons and worsen the gasoline shortage across the national territory.
Government priorities and investment delays until 2027
The attention of Venezuelan authorities is focused on addressing the damage left by the earthquakes in the country—events that caused more than 5,000 deaths and massive material losses. For this reason, the injection of capital into the refineries will be postponed at least until 2027.
The official focus is exclusively on the extraction and export of crude oil, leaving refineries at the bottom of budgetary priorities.

US refineries increase imports of Venezuelan oil due to risk of supply disruptions in Canada
US refineries’ imports of oil from Venezuela are on track to reach 804,000 barrels per day (bpd).
American refineries are buying the largest amount of Venezuelan oil in nearly a decade, due to the threat of wildfires in Canada that could jeopardize crude supply.
Refineries located from Texas to Louisiana “are operating at full capacity,” and imports of Venezuelan oil are set to arrive at 804,000 barrels per day in shipments expected to land this month—the highest level since 2017, according to data obtained by Bloomberg.
Higher demand for Venezuelan oil has given a major boost to prices on the US Gulf of Mexico coast, since in May deals were being made at a discount of US$15 per barrel versus ICE Brent, and now that discount has narrowed to about US$10.
US refineries are turning to Venezuelan oil to protect themselves against a possible crude supply disruption from Canada, stemming from wildfires in that country.
In that regard, the heat and drought that can follow the fires force workers to leave their workspaces, leading to reduced production of heavy crude and, in some cases, preventing oil from being supplied to refineries.
Most of the Venezuelan oil is currently marketed by the commodity giants Trafigura Group and Vitol Group.

Large houses no longer want intermediaries.
According to Reuters, refineries are buying Venezuelan crude directly from PDVSA.
They bypass traders like Trafigura and Vitol.
This isn’t minor.
Before, those intermediaries controlled a good part of the business.
Now the margins go elsewhere.
The question is whether this accelerates production in Venezuela or simply changes who keeps the profit.

Canadian New Stratus Energy explores five oil deals in Venezuela
The company is evaluating the acquisition of stakes in joint ventures with PDVSA and signing new production-sharing contracts.
Canadian energy company New Stratus Energy (NSE) announced that it is exploring five opportunities to acquire oil and gas assets in Venezuela.
NSE is negotiating directly with U.S. oil service, operating, and financial companies to sign memorandums of understanding that will lead to contracts with the state-owned company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (Pdvsa), as contemplated in the Hydrocarbons Law Reform.
The Canadian company is assessing the acquisition of stakes in joint ventures with PDVSA and signing new production-sharing contracts to operate oil fields managed by the Venezuelan energy company.
“Since the U.S. government lifted all sanctions imposed at the beginning of this year, NSE has been analyzing and prioritizing oil and gas assets based on recoverable reserves, production potential, and the state of the infrastructure, together with its U.S. partners,” the company said in a corporate statement.
New Stratus Energy will carry out a private placement of common shares for an amount of up to CAD 7 million (approximately USD 5 million). The funds will be used to move forward with due diligence in Venezuela, according to BNAméricas.
