An energy investment firm was exploring opportunities in South America and wanted to understand the current state of Venezuela's energy industry. The client engaged Ergo to conduct an in-depth examination of the industry and the political and economic landscape of Venezuela and the region.

Ergo engaged a panel of leading experts to provide insights into the potential construction of gas pipelines through Latin America, politics and corruption within the Venezuelan state-owned petroleum company, and Venezuela's economic and political future as it relates to its energy sector. Ergo leveraged these expert insights to make projections on the future of Venezuela's energy sector and to assess its political and economic relationships with other key countries. Our experts included former high-level employees of the state-owned petroleum company, prominent Venezuelan economists and academics, and Venezuelan and international petroleum consultants and energy specialists.

Ergo illuminated a volatile industry in constant flux, and enabled our client to make a thoroughly informed decision about investing in a country whose economic fortunes are so closely tied to its political vicissitudes.
