Ali Moshiri, the former head of Chevron's Latin American business, said that his company, Amos Global Energy Management Company, has locked in multiple Venezuelan assets and is negotiating private equity financing with institutional investors to initiate related investments. AlimoShiri said that the arrest of Maduro by US special forces last Saturday and Trump's call for US companies to revive the Venezuelan oil industry brought a sudden opportunity to the market. “We've been preparing for this breakthrough for a while, and our $2 billion private funding memorandum is in place and we have set multiple investment goals,” he said in an interview. “In the past 24 hours, I've received more than a dozen phone calls from potential investors. Interest in Venezuela jumped almost instantly from zero to 99%.” According to the investment memorandum, the document is dated December 2025. Amos plans to acquire 20,000 to 50,000 barrels of oil production per day and about 500,000 barrels of oil reserves from the Venezuelan National Petroleum Company PDVSA, and is expected to withdraw within 5 to 7 years, with a target return on investment of about 2.5 times.
