TALK IN CATO INSTITUTE/ MI CHARLA EN CATO


                   THE VENEZUELAN OIL NATIONALIZATION 
                                 WAS A BAD DECISION
WHAT WE “NATIONALIZED” WERE THE RISKS,  WE                               ALREADY HAD MOST OF THE BENEFITS
       1970 LIBYA OBTAINED OIL PRICE INCREASE FROM OCCIDENTAL
       1971  VENEZUELA INCREASED CONTROL OF OPERATIONS
       1973 OIL AND POLITICAL CRISIS IN THE MIDDLE EAST PROMOTED VENEZUELAN NATIONALISM
       1975 NATIONALIZATION WAS DECREED
 
           FOR ALMOST A DECADE PDVSA DID VERY WELL
       DECISION TO NATIONALIZE WAS POLITICAL
       MANAGEMENT STAYED IN HANDS OF PROFESSIONAL MANAGERS
       EACH NEW GOVERNMENT INCREASED  POLITICAL                                                                 INTERFERENCE 
       BY 1998 PDVSA  HAD LOST MUCH EFFICIENCY

  IN 1999 CHAVEZ OBTAINED POLITICAL COUNTRY OF THE   
                                        COUNTRY

                                FROM 1999 TO 2017
       PRODUCTION CAME DOWN FROM 3.2 TO 1.9 MMBD.
       EMPLOYEES INCREASED FROM 35000 TO 160000. MORE QUANTITY, LESS QUALITY
       COMPANY DEBT INCREASED FROM $4 BILLION TO ABOUT $90 BILLION
       EXPORTS TO U.S. DECREASED FROM 1.9 MMBD TO 0.6 MMBD
       ABOUT 400,000 BARRELS PER DAY WERE GIVEN AWAY TO “FRIENDLY” COUNTRIES, ESPECIALLY CUBA AND THE CARIBBEAN MERCENARIES FROM PRTROCARIBE

                           WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?
       MISSION WAS CHANGED, FROM OIL AND GAS COMPANY TO “SOCIAL” COMPANY
       OIL WAS USED AS A POLITICAL TOOL, ABOUT 600.000 BD WAS GIVEN AWAY OR PAID FOR LOANS
       SUICIDAL DOMESTIC SUBSIDIES
       CHANGE IN RULES OF ASSOCIATION WITH FOREIGN COMPANIES

                       AND......HYPER-CORRUPTION
                       MAIN CORRUPTION CENTERS
       PETROLEOS DE VENEZUELA
       ARMED FORCES INVOLVED IN DRUG TRAFFICKING, IN CONTRABAND AND FOOD DISTRIBUTION
       MINISTRY OF FINANCE AND FRIENDLY BANKERS
       HANDOUTS TO FOREIGN POLITICAL ALLIES



PDVSA, HUMPTY DUMPTY, FELL DOWN AND BROKE INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES. PDVSA CANNOT BE PUT BACK TOGETHER. A NEW MODEL OF OIL INDUSTRY MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE TO BE CREATED AFTER THE NARCO-REGIME IS OUSTED FROM POWER.
