HFI Research says it has repeatedly flagged a "golden opportunity" in Colombia and Venezuela since early 2026. At the start of the year the unexpected arrest of former Venezuelan president Maduro surprised markets. More recently, President Trump announced the US has reached an agreement with Venezuela on certain oil production blocks; details have not been released, but recent reports indicate major players are poised to reclaim sizable blocks, with Chevron the likely first candidate. In Colombia the new president, sworn in on Aug. 7, has moved rapidly to restructure state oil company Ecopetrol: the finance ministry has called an extraordinary shareholders meeting for Sept. 15 to amend the articles of association so the president can nominate six additional board members and effectively control the board. The ministry said the government will submit a nine‑person slate mandated to raise output, restore trust and push an energy transition. Delivering those objectives will require external capital to lift mature‑field production, unlock new reserves and improve efficiency, opening an entry point for independent producers. Geopolitically, HFI says Colombia and Venezuela remain among the most undervalued energy opportunities.

OpenAI said on X it will terminate its partnership with AI coding assistant Cursor after SpaceX acquired the company, notifying Cursor that contracts will be wound down with a proposed shutdown date of Nov. 12. OpenAI said the move reflects prior instances of contract breaches by Musk-owned companies and that it cannot be confident SpaceX will use its technology within OpenAI’s service terms.
