US seeks quick repairs to lift Venezuela oil output, Bloomberg News reports

Jan 24 (Reuters) - The United States is in talks with Chevron, other crude producers, and major oilfield service providers about a plan to quickly raise Venezuela's crude production, Bloomberg News reported on Saturday, citing senior administration officials.

With limited investment, Venezuela could boost production by several hundred thousand barrels over the short term, the report said, adding that modern U.S. equipment and techniques could revitalise existing wells and bring new production online within months.
