Exxon and Conoco Leave Venezuela

Historically, Venezuela has a love/hate, mutual abuse relationship with foreign companies. Venezuela seems to nationalize its foreign partners every 30 years or so and, as the last time it happened was in the seventies, it would seem that we are due.

Now, I don't know all the details behind the negotiations that made Chevron (CVX $83.03), BP (BP - $70.35) and Statoil (STO - $29.29) stay and Exxon (XOM $82.25) and Conoco (COP $76.67) walk away, but I'm going to hold my Conoco, BP, Statoil and Chevron and I'm still not going to buy Exxon.

As for this forced negotiation/nationalization changing oil prices, I don't think it will. The oil will still come out of the ground, and unless Chavez completely loses his mind and starts to really squeeze his foreign oil partners to the point where they all back out, I don't see production really falling.

Exxon Mobil (XOM) Moving Forward at Point Thomson, Alaska
Written By: Miranda Marquit

Exxon Mobil (XOM), operates leases that it purchased more than 30 years ago from the gas and oil rich Point Thomson field in Alaska - leases that have never been developed. Now, though, Exxon is ready to move forward. The snag is that XOM, along with other lease partners BP (BP) and Chevron (CVX), are no longer welcome in the state of Alaska. Since 2006 Alaska has been trying to take back the leases.
