Foreign embassies in Venezuela begin arranging visits next week for American, European oil companies, according to Reuters citing sources.
What it means

This development may signal a shift in the geopolitical landscape, affecting energy supply and pricing dynamics, especially for WTI and other commodities as markets react to any easing of restrictions or improved access to Venezuelan resources.
