The present article contains a considerable number of serious inaccuracies, both conceptual and chronological.

Orphaned references in History of the Venezuelan oil industry
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of History of the Venezuelan oil industry's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "UN": From Venezuela: Charlie Devereux & Raymond Colitt. 7 March 2013.  From India:  From Hugo Chávez: Charlie Devereux & Raymond Colitt. March 7, 2013.  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:26, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

too early?
Hi,

is it too early to say that the production in Venezuela saw heavy declines in the last year and also very heavy in this year so far and I do not see a end so fast, same with Libya it was I think,... the last number was a 800,000 barrel down from ~2,3 to ~1,5 million barrel, it is now by May even a bit lower and it will continue to go down as the Country even could not or simply did not pay the employees of PDVSA, which of course is the worst an oil producing country with already for years declining oil production because first equipment is not bought or investments not made, Venezuela has such a great potential but it seems that there will be a Coup or a civil war, I ask my self already for over 10 years why Venezuela does not produce 6, 7 or 8 million barrels daily.. it could, especially if using like Canada their Oil Sand (Canada and Venezuela each have 1/3rd of the worldwide reserves...)

"CARACAS -- Venezuelan oil production fell again to 1,436,000 oil barrels a day, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries reported on Monday, while the Latin American nation’s oil ministry also admits to an output reduction, but not as steep.

Based on “secondary sources” (from shipping firms, energy analysts and media reports) OPEC had Venezuela’s state oil company PDVSA and the few remaining oil partners producing 41,700 oil barrels less between March and April of this year, with crude oil production down to 1.436 million b/d, the lowest output level since the 1949."

They even lost over 60,000 barrels per day more in this 1 month, more like 65,000... and gasoline demand is high because of so extreme cheap gasoline prices... there will be cuts/increases in gasoline demand if it continues like that...

I could add it, if its okay and someone checks my english :D Greetings Kilon22 (talk) 12:00, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
