Venezuela’s Crude Wild Card: Maria Jelescu Dreyfus Explains the Real Supply Risk Why is Venezuela suddenly back on the geopolitical radar? In this Money Path short, Todd M. Schoenberger asks Maria Jelescu Dreyfus, Co-founder and CEO of Ardinall Investment Management, to break down how the world’s largest proven oil reserve base could reshape global crude dynamics if conditions change. 🛢️🌍 Maria explains that despite holding more than 303 billion barrels of proven crude reserves, Venezuela’s production remains far below historic levels. She details how opening the country to foreign capital and modern technology could unlock a multi-year supply surge, potentially increasing global barrels and applying downward pressure on crude prices. With late 2025 exports rising to around 921,000 barrels per day and reported production at 1.17 million bpd, Venezuela is showing signs of recovery—but the true upside depends entirely on geopolitics. Watch this short to understand how Venezuela’s crude story could be one of the biggest energy wild cards heading into 2026. 📌 What was discussed in the video: Why Venezuela holds the world’s largest proven oil reserves 🛢️ Why production remains far below historic capability 📉 How foreign capital and technology could unlock massive supply 💰 Rising late 2025 output and export numbers 📈 How geopolitics could accelerate or stall Venezuela’s recovery ⚠️ Why more Venezuelan barrels could be bearish for global crude 🌍 How shifting energy alliances may shape 2026 oil markets 🔄 LinkedIn: / crosscheck-media-llc Instagram: / crosscheckmedia Facebook: / crosscheckmedia 👉 To watch the full conversation and get the complete energy-market framework, click the link to view the entire episode: • Energy Shock Risks for 2026: Maria Jelescu... 👉 Don’t forget to Like 📢 Like 👍 | Comment 💬 | Subscribe 🔔 for more in-depth market analysis! 🔗 Website: https://crosscheckmanagement.com/... 📧 Contact on Email:
