A long but interesting article about the state of the industry in Venezuala.

chron.com

highlights

No one overly excited to develop their NG reserves
NG = $.20/mmcf there, and mostly reinjected to aid oil prod.
LNG becomes profitable if NG > $3.50 in destination market
Chavez up for reelection May 27

conclusion

Venezuala still desperately needs oil revenue. Expect them to be hawkish if prices go down, and expect "reduced quota" comments out of them at this level of pricing.
