Everybody seems to have a claim on everybody else if they want to dredge them up, which the Maduro government decided to do last year and the year before.
I don't think anybody took them seriously.
Guyana's not in a position to defend itself, unfortunately.
It's a very small country.
But at the same time, I think they were confident that the US would back them up.
China is also involved in the Guyana offshore developments through Chinese national oil companies.
They hold a minority share.
And at the same time, Brazil was willing to back up Guyana and was pushing back very hard on Venezuela when Maduro was making those claims.
So like the territorial claim is historical, but there's not a whole lot to it.
I don't think now that Maduro is gone, I don't think we're gonna hear much more about it, but it's still gonna sort of float in the ether.
The the other point that I would make is, you know, the market, as you noted.
didn't care too much when this happened, right?
Oil prices didn't really change.
Yeah.
The whole attitude to this drama with the blockade and everything, like it hasn't really affected prices.
Part of that is because there really wasn't a sense that there was much risk to other sources.
But Guyana is right there.
And were things to get really bad in Venezuela, internal instability.
uh continuation of the blockade, the US could threaten to seize assets if it wanted to exert even more leverage over Caracas.
That would increase the risk of escalation to affect neighboring oil producing countries, with Guyana being first on the list.
