Apertura Energy raised £1.6 million to support its strategic focus on Venezuela, with proceeds intended to identify and evaluate acquisition opportunities across the country's energy sector. Alongside potential upstream investments, the company is pursuing an integrated business model encompassing midstream infrastructure and energy services, with the objective of supporting operational efficiency and long-term sector development.

At a pivotal moment for Venezuela as it seeks to attract capital, technical expertise together with strategic partnerships to revitalize its hydrocarbon sector, the launch of Apertura Energy provides a timely bridge. By combining access to international capital markets via its London listing with a targeted acquisition strategy, the company is positioned to connect global investors with on-the-ground development to help unlock the country's oil and gas potential.

Reflecting its commitment to Venezuela's evolving energy sector, Apertura Energy has joined Venezuela Energy Week 2026 as a Diamond Plus Sponsor. Taking place in Caracas on October 26 - 29, the event serves as the country's leading platform for government officials, national and international operators, investors, financiers and service providers to advance investment, forge strategic partnerships and shape the future of Venezuela's energy industry.

Through its participation, Apertura Energy will engage with policymakers, operators and investors to explore acquisition opportunities, strengthen industry collaboration and support the next phase of investment across Venezuela's energy value chain.
