This market will resolve to “Yes”, if Venezuelan crude oil production is greater than or equal to the listed number of barrels per day for any month in 2026, according to the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report published for each month. The resolution source for this market will be the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report, published each month in reference to the previous month at https://www.opec.org/monthly-oil-market-report.html. The relevant figure can be found in “Table 5-7 DoC crude oil production based on secondary sources, tb/d” under the column for the relevant month and the “Venezuela” row. This market will resolve as soon as Venezuelan crude oil production is reported to be greater than or equal to the listed number. If the listed number has not been reached for any month by the release of the OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report for the reference month December 2026 (expected to be released in January 2027), this market will resolve to “No”. If no Opec Monthly Oil Market Report for the reference month December 2026 has been published by February 28, 2027, ET and the listed number has not been reached for any prior month, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market reports crude oil production in thousands of barrels per day. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving this market.Venezuela's crude oil production averaged nearly 1 million barrels per day (bpd) in March 2026 per OPEC secondary sources, up from 823,000 bpd in January, propelled by U.S. Treasury license expansions allowing Chevron to boost output to 267,000 bpd and easing prior shut-ins. Exports surpassed 1 million bpd for the first time in six months, reflecting improved cash flow for PDVSA despite chronic infrastructure decay and political risks. EIA projects potential rises to 1.1-1.2 million bpd by mid-year amid global supply glut pressuring Brent yields near $70 per barrel. Key catalysts include May's OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report on April data, further sanctions adjustments, and Orinoco Belt investments through year-end.
