Venezuela's oil production averaged 1.2 million bpd in July, up 1.09% from June's 1.187 million bpd.
Production has increased 29.8% since January, when it was 924,000 bpd.
The increase follows the US capture of Nicolás Maduro in January and subsequent opening to foreign investment.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright visited Caracas in February and established a long-term energy partnership.

What would change the assessment
- OPEC monthly report for August shows Venezuela's production below 1.2 million bpd (within 60 days — OPEC Monthly Oil Market Report)
- Official Venezuelan government data (e.g., from PDVSA) reports production figures significantly different from 1.2 million bpd for July (within 90 days — PDVSA official statements or Ministry of Petroleum reports)
