Venezuela Begins Oil Nationalization With State Control
President Carlos Andres Perez led a national flag ceremony as Venezuela nationalized its oil industry, compensating former operators in a $1.02 billion package. Exx on Royal Dutch Shell and Gulf will still play major roles, while the state aims to manage output under new policies amid OPEC ties. The move follows decades of foreign control and marks a shift to state-run production centered in Zulia and Maracaibo, with early production set around 4.5 million barrels daily for the first quarter of 1976 though below planned 2.2 million barrels.
