  3. View of Venezuelan SINCOR refinery Jose plant in Barcelona, east of Caracas 26 May, 2006. Though Venezuela is a major player within OPEC (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) and is hosting the organisation's next meeting on June 1, its oil production difficulties are dampening the effect of President Hugo Chavez's flamboyant style and rhetoric. Chavez is also likely to trumpet his policy of providing cheap energy to deprived sections of society both at home and abroad, with beneficiaries to date including parts of the United States, as well as Cuba and parts of the Caribbean. Analysts note this clearly political strategy has set Venezuela apart from its fellow OPEC members.
  4. This 13 December 2002 photo shows a view of an oil refinery of the PDVSA Venezuelan oil company in the oil port of Tia Juana, Venezuela, 50 km (31 miles) from Maracaibo. Fears of violence mounted in Venezuela on the 12th day of a general strike that paralyzed petroleum exports and fueled a volatile conflict. Suggestions that protesters could lead a massive march to the Miraflores presidential palace in Caracas exacerbated tension in the South American country polarized by demands for the resignation of President Hugo Chavez. Chavez, whose mandate ends in 2006, has rejected opposition demands that elections be held within months.

  10. General view of Jose oil plant in Puerto La Cruz, some 220 kilometers east from Caracas, 01 December 2007. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened Friday to stop oil exports to the United States if violence broke out after a controversial referendum at the weekend. He also told thousands of supporters in Caracas that he was sending the army to 'protect' all of the country's oil fields.
  11. Picture of an oil extracting station taken 28 July 2004 in Santa Cruz del Norte in Havana. Cuba, which has been in dire economic straits since the collapse of the former Soviet bloc which once flooded it with subsidized food and fuel, is eagerly awaiting news of the outcome of oil exploration off the island. The fact that the supply of Venezuelan oil - one third of what Cuba consumes - soon and just as suddenly could be cut off, would plunge Cuba into another economic black hole. That, if Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Castro's only close ally in the region, loses a referendum August 15 on cutting short his term in office and the opposition which has announced the flow of oil to Cuba would stop, comes out on top.
