On 17 April 2024 OFAC issued General License 44A (GL44A) which permits the wind-down of oil and gas operations in Venezuela until 31 May 2024, including “the production, lifting, sale, and exportation of oil or gas from Venezuela, and provision of related goods and services” and transactions involving the state oil company PdVSA. No new activity previously permitted under General License 44 (GL44) may be entered into and the wind-down period therefore only applies to activity authorised by under GL44 before 17 April.
