Ex-PDVSA chief claims Venezuela can produce 15M bpd, urges 1943 law return

Former PDVSA president Andrés Sosa Pietri asserts Venezuela has capacity to produce 15 million barrels per day, questioning the Nabep agreement and advocating a return to the 1943 Hydrocarbons Law. This is an opinion from a former official, not a policy change; actual production remains far below this figure. The claim signals potential policy debate but has no immediate market impact.
