Tankers Filled With Venezuelan Oil Are Parked in Gulf of Mexico: Bloomberg
According to
Bloomberg.com, the Gulf of Mexico is turning into a parking lot for Venezuelan crude, as the U.S. sanctions on Petroleos de Venezuela SA essentially stop the flow of oil from the Latin America country.
Tankers holding about 6 million barrels of Venezuelan oil are floating in the U.S. Gulf Coast or heading there, according to data from cargo-tracking and intelligence company Kpler.
Eight ships signaling destinations in the U.S. such as Chevron Corp.’s Pascagoula, Mississippi, refinery are idling in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico or just north of the Yucatan Peninsula, sitting closer to the coast or steaming toward the Gulf.
