Chevron Eyes Bigger Role in Venezuelan Oil After Talks With US Officials

GREENBRAE, CA - OCTOBER 30: The Chevron logo is displayed at a Chevron station on October 30, 2015 in Greenbrae, California. Chevron announced plans to cut up to 7,000 jobs as oil prices continue to slump. Chevron's third quarter revenue fell 37.2% to $34.3 billion compared to one year ago.

Chevron is in discussions with the US government to expand its license to operate in Venezuela, aiming to boost crude exports to its own refineries and sell to other buyers, according to four sources familiar with the talks.

The negotiations come as Washington and Caracas move forward on plans to supply up to 50 million barrels of Venezuelan oil to the United States.
