The increasing weight of Venezuela in 2P reserves and production plans, combined with reliance on OFAC licensing and local tax renegotiations, concentrates risk in a country with regulatory and governance uncertainties, which can introduce volatility in cash flows and earnings visibility.

The build out of gas projects in Tanzania and Colombia depends on sustained offtake from a small number of buyers and the development of secondary markets such as CNG or mini LNG. Any slower than expected demand growth or contract delays can cap sales volumes and pressure revenue growth.
