CH4 Announces Strategic Alliance to Restore Venezuela’s Energy Infrastructure Under U.S. Governance Framework
CH4 Systems LLC, a U.S.-owned engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm, has signed a landmark Strategic Alliance Agreement with two leading Venezuelan industrial groups: Consorcio de Cogestión Venequip (CCV) and Servi Compresores C.A. (SC). The alliance aims to offer U.S. energy companies a turnkey, fully compliant way to repair Venezuela’s key oil and gas facilities and restart idle wells.
As project lead and integrator, CH4 will use its proven EPC+Financing model to manage all technical, contractual, and compliance aspects of the alliance. Based in Puerto Rico, CH4 has a strong record in complex energy projects and recently received the U.S. EXIM Bank 2025 “Deal of the Year” award for its role in the
759
759 million USD Guyana Gas-to-Energy project.
Local capacity as a competitive advantage
To address the logistical, security, and operational challenges that U.S. firms face in Venezuela, the alliance combines CH4’s governance with the in-country capabilities of its partners:
Modern infrastructure: CCV brings nearly a century of experience in Venezuela, operating a nationwide network of workshops and a large fleet of multi-brand machinery, including power generation units, gas compression systems, and specialized field equipment from leading U.S. manufacturers.
Specialized expertise: SC adds more than four decades of experience in high-precision repair and modernization of reciprocating compressors, working under ISO 9001 quality standards.
Field-ready workforce: The alliance relies on highly trained local technicians who understand both the technical requirements and the region’s safety and operating environment, reducing the need for U.S. companies to deploy their own staff on site.
Compliance-first structure for U.S. investors
In response to the Trump Administration’s January 2026 measures—including Executive Order 14373, which protects Venezuelan oil revenues held by the U.S. Treasury—the alliance is structured around a strict compliance-first framework. Project activities are conditioned on:
OFAC alignment: No project proceeds without prior confirmation that it complies with current U.S. sanctions and applicable general or specific licenses.
Financial integrity: CH4 leads all interactions with financing providers, ensuring that every payment flow respects updated federal rules on Foreign Government Deposit Funds.
“This alliance brings together the discipline of American engineering with the immediate, on-the-ground industrial capacity required to rebuild Venezuela’s energy sector,” said Juan Bellosta, CEO of CH4 Systems. “Backed by our EXIM-recognized track record and the localized strength of CCV and SC, we are offering the stable, compliant platform U.S. energy companies will need to re-enter the market with confidence.”
