Our Phased Strategy About Nexus
About the Company

A U.S. Operator Built
for Venezuela

Nexus Energy Partners, LLC is a US-based upstream operating company focused on Venezuela. The company is led by the team that scaled Point Energy Partners from 250 to 40,000+ BOEPD before its $1.1 billion acquisition by Vital Energy (NYSE: VTLE) in 2024. Nexus was established as an independent U.S. entity to pursue licensed development of Venezuela's mature oilfields under applicable OFAC authorizations.

Nexus is supported by a coalition of specialized partners covering the full lifecycle of the development program: capital, upstream operations, basin geoscience, and modular downstream infrastructure.

Nexus has a multidisciplinary upstream team with a documented track record of building, scaling, and exiting oil and gas assets at scale in the Permian Basin and beyond — including 303 billion barrels of Venezuelan proven crude reserves now within reach following the broadest U.S. sanctions relief in years.

The Opportunity

Venezuela's Energy
Sector Is Reopening

Venezuela holds the world's largest proven crude oil reserves — 303 billion barrels — yet its oil industry has been starved of investment, equipment, and technology for two decades. Following January 2026's political transition and sweeping Hydrocarbons Law reform, the U.S. government has issued the broadest sanctions relief in years. The window is open now.

303B
Barrels of proven crude reserves — the world's largest, underperforming for two decades due to corruption, hostility, and state control
Portfolio
A portfolio of mature onshore fields producing light sweet crude — medium and light grades aligned with U.S. Gulf Coast refinery configurations
Inventory
A de-risked inventory of mature-field wells available for workover and optimization — reactivation, not exploration
Now
The Departments of State, Treasury, Interior, and Energy are engaged. Qualified U.S. entities that mobilize first establish the operational frameworks that define the sector's recovery
Phased Execution Strategy

An Operator-Led,
Phased Approach

Nexus pursues phased reactivation in three stages tied to verifiable field activity rather than projection. Operations begin on acquisition, scale through reactivation of existing infrastructure, and grow through disciplined incremental drilling.

01
Immediate Restart
Phase 1 · 0–1 Months
Begin exporting from existing production. Mobilize the in-country operating team, activate authorized export channels, and establish the controlled revenue accounts that will carry the program through subsequent phases.
02
Accelerated Ramp
Phase 2 · 1–12 Months
Reactivate shut-in wells, complete workovers and drilled-but-uncompleted wells, optimize reservoir performance, and restore existing surface infrastructure across the portfolio — no exploration required.
03
Scaled Development
Phase 3 · 12+ Months
Launch a disciplined incremental drilling program and expand operations across additional field inventory, applying the same operator-led, capital-disciplined playbook the leadership team executed in the Permian Basin.

A phased, operator-led program grounded in verifiable field activity and extensive local experience — not projections.

Proven Track Record

This Team Has
Done It Before.

The leadership behind Nexus Energy Partners — anchored at Strata Energy Partners — has built and scaled upstream oil and gas operations from the ground up, executing multi-year development programs, deploying large capital positions, and delivering verifiable, documented outcomes.

At Point Energy Partners, the Strata team grew production from 250 BOEPD to over 40,000 BOEPD before executing a $1.1 billion exit acquired by Vital Energy in 2024. The operational playbook that drove that result is the one being applied in Venezuela.
