Shell? I only ask because they work with PDVSA. Your industry is about to change as well in Venezuela.

Not Shell, we have work with PDVSA as well. But we are a services company. I'm in the internal audit group, not any operations though. Indeed it is, it will be an interesting year for sure.

Not to pry any more but do you guys work out of Maracaibo, or Cabimas, or Caracas?

I used to travel by that compound where the america workers live and the only person protected better than them was the President of Venezuela.

Power vacuum in a oil rich country? I'm sure we are already working out a reason to sail a few Navy ships down there so we can give them a double dose of good ol' American freedom.

Columbia never agreed to that truce with the FARC, they can generate a Casus Belli for us within a few months if we wanted.

Oooo buddy. I was there last time there was a shift in power. Get ready for some real instability.

You can probably expect people that were for Henrique Capriles looking to get him to power. Even though he lost, many people thought that the election was rigged. So you will have that.

The current Vice PresidentNicolás Maduro is a joke. He is not very progressive, but more socialist (he was hand picked by Chavez to be his successor). If he gets into power look for the relations with the US to stay the same. He has brokered deals to make the Colombia - Venezuela boarders more peacful, but many in Venezuela question how good a deal it was, and for whome as many in San Antonio Tachira are seeing murder by Colombian guerillas continue at the same pace.

I am excited to see what happens. While death isn't easy on anyone, and to wish death on anyone is in poor taste, this was much needed. There is a flower waiting to bloom in Venezuela. But for the last 15 years it has been held back by weeds.

The tell will be if or when elections are held in 30 days from now...

When it's your time....HUGO

It is interesting reading Facebook posts from friends in and from Venezuela. The people that are most upset with his passing (as expected) are those who worked for, or benefited from the Chavez government. Those who are happy he is gone are those that had their business, newspaper, or financial house suffer under Chavez. Seriously, his time in office (if nothing else) was predictably irrational.

Good riddance... my parents are Colombian, and the crap he pulled w/ Colombia was ridiculous, most notably allowing the FARC to operate w/in Venezuela's border... I'm happy the cabron is gone... oh and btw...
