Farm-In/Farm-Out Forum

A Dedicated Platform for Upstream Asset Transactions and Partnerships

Venezuela Energy Week 2026 introduces a dedicated Farm-In/Farm-Out Forum, establishing a focused platform for upstream asset transactions and partnership formation as Venezuela continues to reposition itself within the global oil and gas investment landscape.

Structured around a curated portfolio of opportunities, the forum brings together operators, license holders and state entities presenting defined upstream opportunities directly to companies seeking entry, expansion or strategic participation in Venezuela's energy sector.

Moving beyond general discussion, the forum is transaction-oriented engagement tied to specific assets and deal structures.
