View of an oil refining plant of state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) in Puerto La Cruz, Anzoategui state, Venezuela, on November 4, 2021. - Leaks, rusted pipes, pieces of broken equipment scattered about and staircases leading nowhere: Lake Maracaibo's old oilfield is a metaphor for the once-flourishing Venezuelan petroleum industry now on its knees. Zulia state, where the lake is, was the birthplace of Venezuela's oil industry more than a century ago. (Photo by Yuri CORTEZ / AFP)
