How Guyana's Oil Boom Sparked A Border Dispute With Venezuela
Guyana, a tiny South American nation home to more than 800,000 people, made big headlines in December. The reason? Its neighboring country, Venezuela.
Venezuela's autocratic leader Nicolás Maduro called for a referendum in the first week of December 2023 to seek approval to annex Essequibo, which makes up two-thirds of Guyana's land. Venezuelans approved it despite the dispute already being resolved by an international tribunal in 1899.
"What has happened is that it's been exacerbated by the discovery of oil (in Guyana)," said Dr. Terrence Blackman, founder and CEO at Guyana Business Journal. "This discovery has made it seem more attractive to Venezuela to pursue this course of action."

Venezuela was once the richest country in Latin America. It has the largest known oil reserves in the world and its democratic government was once praised world wide.
But today, Venezuela’s democratic institutions and its economy are in shambles.The country has the highest inflation in the world, making food and medicine inaccessible to most Venezuelans.
Over the last four years, its GDP has fallen 35%, which is a sharper drop than the one seen during the Great Depression in the US. The country’s murder rate has surpassed that of the most dangerous cities in the world.
These conditions have sparked months of protests against the president, Nicolas Maduro. And it’s easy to see why: the country has become measurably worse since his election in 2013.

Venezuela has the world's largest proven oil reserves and yet the country has run out of gasoline. The socialist government has lost the capacity to extract oil from the ground or refine it into a usable form. The industry's gradual deterioration was 18 years in the making, tracing back to then-President Hugo Chávez's 2003 decision to fire the oil industry's most experienced engineers in an act of petty political retribution.
The near-total collapse in the nation's oil output in the ensuing years is a stark reminder that the most valuable commodity isn't a natural resource, but the human expertise to put it to productive use.
The little gas that is still available comes via periodic shipments from Iran. But the Venezuelan government doesn't officially charge at most gas stations. It uses a quota system, so filling a tank can mean waiting in line for days.
The Venezuelan oil industry turned a once poor agricultural nation into an important geopolitical player and one of the region's richest countries.
The economic crisis has caused much of the nation's educated middle class to flee the country, which will make rebuilding Venezuela's human capital an even greater challenge. In an ironic twist, Chavez's hand-picked successor, Nicolás Maduro, is now working to bring privately-run foreign oil companies back in.

Guyana, a tiny South American nation home to more than 800,000 people, made big headlines in December. The reason? Its neighboring country, Venezuela.
Venezuela's autocratic leader Nicolás Maduro called for a referendum in the first week of December 2023 to seek approval to annex Essequibo, which makes up two-thirds of Guyana's land. Venezuelans approved it despite the dispute already being resolved by an international tribunal in 1899.
"What has happened is that it's been exacerbated by the discovery of oil (in Guyana)," said Dr. Terrence Blackman, founder and CEO at Guyana Business Journal. "This discovery has made it seem more attractive to Venezuela to pursue this course of action."
The 2015 oil discovery made Guyana the world's fastest-growing economy, recording the world's highest real GDP growth rate in 2022 and 2023. The story is different across Guyana's border. Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves, but that hasn't stopped its economy from collapsing since Maduro took power in 2013.
"Venezuela doesn't truly have sources of support in its ambitions to take over that territory of Guyana, whereas Guyana, it seems, has international public law on its side, as well as the alliance with the United States," said Valerie Marcel, director at New Producers Group. "So I think that at this stage, the fears that Guyana felt in the past are much less. It feels more confident against its big neighbor."
Guyana's sudden economic progress has also been on the watch list for oil experts. While Guyana's remarkable GDP growth appears impressive on paper, critics highlight that the country's weak democratic institutions and deeply divided politics along ethnic lines could cause the only English-speaking country in South America to suffer from the so-called resource curse.
"Guyana is at a crossroads in its history," said Gregory Brew, energy analyst at Eurasia Group. "It is about to become one of the most exciting and important oil-producing countries in the world."
Watch the video above to dive deep into Guyana's oil economy, its ongoing escalation with Venezuela, what the country's oil means for the U.S. and more.

How Guyana's Oil Boom Sparked A Border Dispute With Venezuela
https://wn.com/How_Guyana's_Oil_Boom_Sparked_A_Border_Dispute_With_Venezuela
Guyana, a tiny South American nation home to more than 800,000 people, made big headlines in December. The reason? Its neighboring country, Venezuela.
Venezuela's autocratic leader Nicolás Maduro called for a referendum in the first week of December 2023 to seek approval to annex Essequibo, which makes up two-thirds of Guyana's land. Venezuelans approved it despite the dispute already being resolved by an international tribunal in 1899.
"What has happened is that it's been exacerbated by the discovery of oil (in Guyana)," said Dr. Terrence Blackman, founder and CEO at Guyana Business Journal. "This discovery has made it seem more attractive to Venezuela to pursue this course of action."
The 2015 oil discovery made Guyana the world's fastest-growing economy, recording the world's highest real GDP growth rate in 2022 and 2023. The story is different across Guyana's border. Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves, but that hasn't stopped its economy from collapsing since Maduro took power in 2013.
"Venezuela doesn't truly have sources of support in its ambitions to take over that territory of Guyana, whereas Guyana, it seems, has international public law on its side, as well as the alliance with the United States," said Valerie Marcel, director at New Producers Group. "So I think that at this stage, the fears that Guyana felt in the past are much less. It feels more confident against its big neighbor."
Guyana's sudden economic progress has also been on the watch list for oil experts. While Guyana's remarkable GDP growth appears impressive on paper, critics highlight that the country's weak democratic institutions and deeply divided politics along ethnic lines could cause the only English-speaking country in South America to suffer from the so-called resource curse.
"Guyana is at a crossroads in its history," said Gregory Brew, energy analyst at Eurasia Group. "It is about to become one of the most exciting and important oil-producing countries in the world."
Watch the video above to dive deep into Guyana's oil economy, its ongoing escalation with Venezuela, what the country's oil means for the U.S. and more.
