North American Blue Energy Partners
Overview
North American Blue Energy Partners is the company named in the episode as the vehicle for a source-scoped Venezuelan oil concession. The wiki currently treats the entity as uncorroborated outside this source.
Current Profile
In the episode, Jason Calacanis says the company received a 100-year concession over 17 Venezuelan oil fields totaling about 65 billion barrels after Donald Trump closed a deal following the capture of Nicolas Maduro and the rise of “President Rodriguez.” The described structure gives the U.S. government majority control, the US Department of Defense an equity stake, and the U.S. Department of State rights to buy some output at cost. The claim materially extends the wiki’s Venezuela-oil coverage, but it also raises unresolved legality, sovereignty, and property-rights questions.
Key Characteristics
- It is framed as a concession operator or deal vehicle for reopening Venezuelan oil production.
- The concession is described as unusually long and large: 100 years, 17 fields, and 65 billion barrels.
- The deal is presented as strategically tied to U.S. energy security and Gulf Coast refinery compatibility with Venezuelan heavy crude.
- Its legal durability is uncertain because the source also reports objections that the government granting the deal may lack proper authority.
