Welligence Energy Analytics has officially joined Venezuela Energy Week (VEW) 2026 as the official Strategic Intelligence Partner. The partnership marks a significant addition to the event’s growing roster of global industry leaders and reinforces the gathering as the premier platform for dialogue, investment, and opportunity in one of the world’s most closely watched energy markets.
As Venezuela continues to re-emerge as a strategic player in global energy markets, access to reliable, independent, and data-driven market intelligence has never been more critical. Founded in 2017, Houston-based Welligence has rapidly established itself as a leading energy intelligence platform, providing deep insights across global upstream, LNG, and energy transition markets. Led by CEO Ross Lubetkin, the firm combines advanced analytics, AI-powered forecasting, and asset-level research to serve major energy companies and financial institutions worldwide.
The partnership comes as Venezuela’s energy industry enters a new phase of opportunity. As international companies reassess opportunities across Latin America and governments seek to balance energy security and economic growth, objective market analysis is essential. Welligence’s expertise will help elevate conversations beyond headlines, providing stakeholders with the rigorous intelligence required to make informed strategic decisions.
“As interest in the country’s vast resource potential continues to grow, VEW must be a platform where decisions are informed by the highest-quality data, analysis and market expertise available,” said James Chester, CEO of ECP Events. “Welligence has built a global reputation for delivering exactly that, strengthening the caliber of dialogue taking place at the event.”
Unlocking New Horizons Across Latin America
With over 300 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and significant natural gas potential, Venezuela is actively positioning its hydrocarbon resources for renewed international development. Welligence’s participation will bring analytical depth to discussions surrounding upstream investment, production growth, licensing opportunities, and regional competitiveness across Latin America and international energy corridors.
“Venezuela remains one of the most consequential energy markets in the world, with enormous resource potential and significant strategic importance for regional and global supply,” noted Ross Lubetkin, CEO of Welligence. “We are pleased to partner with VEW at a time when industry stakeholders are increasingly focused on understanding the country’s future trajectory.”
