The commercial liberation of Venezuela in 2026 represents the largest supply shock the global market has seen in the 21st century. It is not simply "more oil"; it is the total reconfiguration of energy and technology supply chains.
The entry of Venezuelan crude, especially the heavy crude ideal for Gulf of Mexico refineries, is reconfiguring the market:

Impact on Prices: The massive entry of Venezuelan crude (especially the heavy type that Gulf U.S. refineries so desperately need) could stabilize global gasoline prices downward, reducing pressure on countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Gaceta 6.978 is not a simple reform; it is the act of capitulation of the state control model and the birth of the Protected Opening model. Its main objective is to eliminate "political risk" so that the capital that fled to Guyana, Brazil, and Colombia returns to Venezuela.

What has changed? Comparison of the "Before" vs. "Now"
The fundamental difference lies in who has the keys to the house and who manages the bank account.

PDVSA was supposed to have over 50% and decide everything. Now the private partner can have total control of operations.

"The Cake" is not a dessert; it is the cash flow generated by the sale of each barrel of oil that leaves our shores. After the capture of Maduro and the entry of the transitional government, the distribution scheme has changed from being a "black box" to a Transparent Participation Model.
If you want to understand why there are now dollars on the street and foreign companies are lining up, you need to understand how this cake is being cut.

What exactly is "The Cake"?

"The Cake" is the Gross Income per Barrel. If a barrel of crude is sold for $70, that is the total size of the cake. The historical problem of Venezuela was not the size of the cake, but rather that the "diners" (corruption and inefficiency) consumed it before it reached the citizen's table.

Who said that money is afraid? In Venezuela of 2026, fear was replaced by ROI (Return on Investment). After the capture of the Unnamed in January and the rise of the transition led by Delcy Rodríguez, the country has gone from being the 'pariah of the Caribbean' to becoming the largest (and most mistreated) startup in the world.
