    Eh, the reason there’s so little exports is because the extraction collapsed when all the workers at the national company, PDVSA, were fired in a single day for political reasons. Then the drop in prices in 2015 further destroyed all facilities. Even if the US invades today, it would take decades to rebuild the infrastructure back to pre-2000 levels of export.
