I didn't do any work in Venezuela but did some exploration work and drilled a few wells in the Llanos and Middle Magdalena in Colombia as well as offshore Guyana. Did some high level regional studies on the petroleum systems from Colombia through Venezuela and into the offshore and for the most part I don't remember it being too complicated. The biggest issues were regulatory and engineering. The technology, skill and expertise is greatly lacking and if you dealing with local patterns they are very unwilling to listen to North American expertise. In the Llanos, the one issue we commonly ran into was water control and high water cuts along with wells watering out rapidly.
