Halliburton signs pacts to support Venezuela energy projects

Halliburton said the agreements are non-binding and aim to expand oil and gas development work as U.S. sanctions rules ease.

  • On Monday, September 21, 2026, Houston-based Halliburton announced it signed non-binding agreements with Eneva SA and engineering firm WESCA to identify and pursue oil and gas development opportunities in Venezuela.
  • Eneva, Brazil's largest private natural gas operator, applies its 'Reservoir-to-Wire' model, which burns gas near wells to generate electricity, addressing energy rationing across Venezuelan cities.
  • These memoranda of understanding are merely statements of intent, not binding contracts; Halliburton disclosed no project lists, investment figures, or specific dates for the proposed ventures.
  • U.S. general licenses issued since January 2026 now permit companies to negotiate contingent contracts for investment in Venezuela's energy sectors, facilitating this corporate collaboration.
  • Venezuela holds 195 trillion cubic feet of proved gas reserves, representing 73% of South America's total, following the January 2026 capture of Nicolás Maduro and political transition.
