We cant just go over to Lula and be like "hey dude do you want some oil for Brazil?" the OPEC regulates who the countries will sell oil to so there isnt just one country providing the whole world and the others that have oil dont have anything. Its a very complicated. Venezuela could be a higher produce, but Chavez (the president) hasnt made good deals nor a good impression with the rest of the world, so last year the USA (our #1 buyer) left us out of a good deal. Venezuela is a very rich country for all the oil we export per day, the problem is that that money is nowhere to be found
