Taking other country's oil production off line, like Venezuela's or Iran's, would boost prices and enrich the US oil producers.

I think we would return the oil to Exxon for Venezuela. Nearly all of the socialist regimes have deteriorated into dictatorships and authoritarianism, Chavez was no different. We made banana republics and interfered at will - we were in Nicaragua for 20+ years - it was during our gunboat diplomacy period with the Monroe Doctrine - cold war. We supported Panama breaking off from Venezuela to get the Panama Canal going.
