US-Venezuela oil agreement and market impacts

Overview

The United States and Venezuela have entered into an oil agreement that grants the U.S. access to 17 major oil fields in Venezuela. This deal is expected to impact global fuel markets and has the potential to double the amount of oil available to the United States.

Following the announcement, the agreement has emerged as a competitive threat to the Alberta oilsands in Canada. To address these pressures, suggestions have been made for Canada to increase investment in West Coast pipeline infrastructure to protect its energy sector.
