These licenses permit the sale of U.S.-origin diluents, the supply of goods and services for oil and gas operations, and the negotiation of contingent contracts for new investments in Venezuela's energy sector. The regulations impose strict reporting requirements and prohibit transactions involving designated countries, blocked vessels, or non-commercial payment terms.
