VENEZUELA – MARKET ENTRY GUIDE

Venezuela market entry or “re-entry” strategies require guidance and decisions implying an investment “anchor” of 25 years + options for decades of investment for both publicly traded “majors” & privately held “juniors”, involved as operators & producers (headliners) in sectors of Oil & Gas, Mining, Energy, Roads & Bridges. Building greenfield sites and reworking dilapidated heavy infrastructure will be executed by those contracted by the headliners via negotiated EPC frameworks: Bechtel, Fluor, Wood Group, KBR, among others – exposure limited to months or a few years before commissioning, then departure.

 

OVERVIEW

The opportunities for USA and global contractors, engineers, business professionals, expatriates and consultants to join Venezuelans in the rebuild of their country’s economy are immense. What many don’t realize is that the organizations and brands currently in the headlines (Chevron, ENI, Repsol, GeoPark, NABEP, etc) are not the ones who will execute initial deployment for early & ongoing construction.
