Venezuela is preparing to finalize more than a dozen energy agreements aimed at expanding the nation's crude oil production capabilities.

International commercial interest comes amid support from the United States to encourage production growth across the country's energy sector.

Addressing the financial structure surrounding the upcoming initiatives, United States Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed that revenues generated from newly developed oil fields will not be subject to debt claims from China.

The incoming wave of contracts reflects an effort to revive upstream activity and secure unencumbered revenue streams through targeted field development.
