Venezuela’s Pdvsa said oil production had reached 1.252 million barrels per day, compared with 924,000 reported in January, when Nicolás Maduro was ousted. The report described the current level as 35% above January’s figure and 11% higher than just before.

It said activity was increasing and prospectors and field developers were hiring. Delcy Rodriguez said port activity in Zulia could increase by 800%.

The product was going to different destinations, including the United States instead of American adversaries. Some information was attributed to Reuters and earlier reports, alongside footage.
