About $40-60 billion to get it up to where it was 20 years ago. So it doesn't look very cost effective from the Capitalist perspective. Far easier to get it from Guyana, who has shitloads of it. Untapped. Ready to exploit.

PdVSA was nationalized in the 1976. So Uncle Sam can't get his hands on anything.
