委内瑞拉原油业的转机来了吗？
尽管委内瑞拉石油储量世界第一，但该国石油产量一直未能增加。2000年，该国石油产量为340万桶/日，随后逐步下降，至今年第一季度产量仅为259万桶/日，低于2015年278万桶/日的均值。能源顾问公司“IPD拉丁美洲（IPD Latin America）”在去年第四季度，委内瑞拉全国所有地区石油产量全部下滑，自2008年以来首次出现这种情况。委内瑞拉石油产量下降，其中有多少可以归咎于石油价格走低和市场动态，又有多少应归咎于该国动荡的政治和经济形势？在不久的将来，委内瑞拉的产油量还会下跌多少？短期内，国际原油价格不大可能超过100美元一桶，那么委内瑞拉重质原油的前景又如何呢？
