• SLB is in talks with US officials, its local partner Chevron (CVX) and other potential customers about expanding in Venezuela, FT reports 

The report suggests that SLB is strategically positioned to benefit from U.S. plans to leverage Venezuela's oil resources, which could mark a significant shift in how the country’s oil industry is revived. This could represent a new opportunity for SLB and Chevron, potentially leading to increased revenues in the energy sector and a positive sentiment around their stock prices. Traders should consider how this could influence oil prices and the broader geopolitical landscape, particularly in relation to U.S.-Venezuela relations.
