On Jul 9 2026 Venezuela's interim government published regulations ending state oil company PDVSA's decades-long monopoly, setting rules for private operators from wellhead to fuel pump.

The engine's record — word for word
Jul 9 2026: Venezuela's interim government published new oil-sector regulations ending PDVSA's decades-long monopoly, setting rules and fiscal terms for private operators from wellhead to fuel pump (Bloomberg). Extends the Jul 1 Venezuela-oil-seizure row (~$8B / ~100M barrels under US oversight): seizure -> privatized reopening, the exact 'energy-asset seizure -> privatized hydrocarbons -> China/Russia lockout' morphology divergence #79 already names. Appended there as evidence. Note: Venezuela's simultaneous turn toward Israel (survival not conviction, per regional reporting) is logged but not scored. Apex held.
