AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Venezuela Oil Revival: Venezuela’s oil sector is moving from political announcements to operational deals, with Hunt Oil signing production participation contracts for eastern onshore fields and SLB agreeing to reservoir studies, while US-bound crude exports have surged to over 500,000 bpd. US–Venezuela Energy Ties: The Houston showcase also highlighted new contracting momentum after the Maduro era, with multiple US firms lining up agreements as PDVSA opens more investment pathways. Venezuela Power Crisis: In Maracaibo and beyond, rationing is worsening—outages are longer and more unpredictable, with El Niño cited as a driver and protests erupting as daily cuts expand. Mexico Solar Security: Mexico’s solar installers report kidnappings, extortion, and equipment theft across several states, pushing industry groups to demand coordinated action with CFE and authorities. Regional Climate Response: The US plans to send the Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort to Peru in Feb. 2027 as El Niño peaks, supporting preparedness for extreme weather impacts. Grid Flexibility Investment: Ireland’s Capital Dynamics secured a 170 MW long-duration BESS project in Kerry to add flexibility as renewables drive curtailment pressures. China–LatAm Trade: China’s Xiamen is deepening trade links with Latin America and Africa, signaling continued infrastructure-and-commodities momentum.
