Venezuela threatens to cut off oil to U.S. if Exxon Mobil seizes assets
By Sandra Sierra
ASSOCIATED PRESS
February 11, 2008
CARACAS, Venezuela – President Hugo Chávez threatened to cut off oil sales to the United States yesterday in an “economic war” if Exxon Mobil Corp. wins court judgments to seize billions of dollars in Venezuelan assets.
Exxon Mobil has gone after the assets of state oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA in U.S., British and Dutch courts as it challenges the nationalization of a multibillion-dollar oil project by Chávez's government. A British court has issued an injunction “freezing” as much as $12 billion in assets.
“If you end up freezing (Venezuelan assets) and it harms us, we're going to harm you,” Chávez said during his weekly radio and television program. “Do you know how? We aren't going to send oil to the United States. Take note, Mr. Bush, Mr. Danger.”
Chávez has repeatedly threatened to cut off oil shipments to the United States, which is Venezuela's No. 1 client, if Washington tries to oust him. Chávez's warnings yesterday appeared to extend that threat to attempts by oil companies to challenge his government's nationalization drive through lawsuits.
“I speak to the U.S. empire, because that's the master: Continue and you will see that we won't send one drop of oil to the empire of the United States,” Chávez said yesterday. He accused the Irving, Texas-based oil company of acting in concert with Washington.
Venezuela accounted for about 12 percent of U.S. crude oil imports in November, the latest figures available from the U.S. Energy Department. The 1.23 million barrels a day from Venezuela makes that country the United States' fourth-biggest oil importer behind Canada, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.
Other major oil companies, including U.S.-based Chevron Corp., France's Total, Britain's BP PLC and Norway's StatoilHydro ASA, have negotiated deals with Venezuela to continue on as minority partners in the four heavy oil projects in the Orinoco River basin, which was nationalized last year. ConocoPhillips and Exxon Mobil, however, balked at the tougher terms.
