Reliance Industries unit loading 2 million barrels of Venezuelan crude oil: Report
Reliance Industries has begun loading a significant shipment of Venezuelan crude. This oil was directly purchased from Venezuela's state-run oil firm, PDVSA. Reliance secured a US general license in February 2026, permitting such direct purchases. This move allows Reliance to diversify its crude sources and potentially replace some Russian supplies with discounted Venezuelan heavy oil.
