No new deals. It is absolutely a problem,\u201d a senior U.S. official told Axios. \u201cThe Energy Department is in charge of this and they have some explaining to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lack of progress has sparked frustration not only within the Trump administration but also across the oil industry.<\/p>\n<p>On one side are the major oil companies, such as Exxon and ConocoPhillips, which have distanced themselves from getting involved in Venezuela and tend to take a more cautious, slower-moving approach.<\/p>\n<p>On the other are the so-called \u201cwildcatters\u201d\u2014smaller oil firms that are quicker to move and more willing to take risks.<\/p>\n<p>Officials within the Energy Department are accused of favoring the more cautious approach championed by the majors when it comes to Venezuela.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, MAGA allies and officials at the White House\u2019s National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) are desperate to work with wildcatters in order to speed up the rebuilding of Venezuela\u2019s energy infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cStarting January 4, it should have been carte blanche for all American producers to take risk. That\u2019s America First,\u201d Mauricio Claver-Carone, Trump\u2019s former top adviser on Venezuela, told Axios.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4812\">Trump, 80, Puts Himself Alongside Washington and Lincoln in Weird Slop Post<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, American wildcatters got stuck with onerous conditions and a competitive disadvantage versus the mostly foreign majors that were in bed with Maduro.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One unnamed oil industry insider said the NEDC had been an early advocate for involving wildcatters in Venezuela\u2019s rebuilding efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnergy is really turf-obsessed. And Energy won. The problem now is that they own this,\u201d the insider added.<\/p>\n<p>One frustrated wildcatter also told Axios: \u201cWe\u2019re months behind. We\u2019d be lifting oil now if we got half the deference the majors got.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The feud within the Trump administration has escalated to the point that officials within the State Department are urging Venezuela\u2019s acting president, Delcy Rodr\u00edguez, to sign more contracts with wildcatters so deals can be finalized by the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Energy Department continues to work with Venezuelan officials and American energy companies of all sizes to unleash Venezuela\u2019s resource potential, and we are delivering,\u201d department spokesperson Ben Dieterich told Axios.<\/p>\n<p>White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said the Energy Department \u201cis ushering in unprecedented investment in Venezuela to restore its energy infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rogers added that the department \u201ccontinues to facilitate productive conversations between oil companies and the Venezuelan government to unleash its abundant resources, which benefits both the American and Venezuelan people.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House and the Energy Department for further comment.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4810\">Pentagon\u2019s Plea for Help With Trump\u2019s War Crisis Is Leaked<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fingers are being pointed within the government over why one of Donald Trump\u2019s key promises following the abduction of former Venezuelan leader Nicol\u00e1s Maduro has still not come to fruition.
