Chevron announced on Sept. 2 that its Venezuelan joint ventures plan to invest more than $7 billion over the next five years, part of an expansion expected to more than double the company’s production in the country.

Under new agreements with Venezuela, Chevron will receive improved investment terms and access to additional oil fields in the Orinoco Belt, a vast region of central Venezuela containing some of the world’s largest deposits of extra-heavy crude oil.

The U.S. oil giant said the agreements would allow it to develop the projects at a cost of less than $20 per barrel.

“Chevron’s history in Venezuela spans more than a century, and our expanded position reflects our confidence in the country’s deep resource potential,” Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth said in a statement.

New Oil Fields

Chevron operates in Venezuela through three partnerships with affiliates of the state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, commonly known as PDVSA.

One of those partnerships, Petroindependencia, has received the right to develop three additional areas in the Orinoco Belt. Chevron owns 49 percent of the venture, with the Venezuelan state retaining majority control.

The new fields are close to Chevron’s existing operations, making it easier to expand production using nearby facilities and infrastructure.

“The greenfield sites expand the joint venture’s existing operational footprint where it is increasing extra-heavy oil production,” Chevron said in a statement.

The company also operates through the Petropiar partnership in the Orinoco Belt and Petroboscan in western Venezuela. Production from the three ventures has increased by 15 percent so far this year, according to Chevron.

“We appreciate the leadership of the Administration, particularly the U.S. Department of Energy, and Secretary [Chris] Wright’s partnership in helping facilitate the conditions for further investment and growth,” said Wirth, adding that the new projects would bolster America’s energy security.

Push to Lower Oil Prices

Chevron’s announcement came one day after Wright said during a visit to Caracas that several agreements with foreign oil companies would more than double Venezuela’s total production over the next several years.

“The investment in these deals will massively grow oil production, which will give downward pressure on oil prices,” Wright told reporters.

Wright said the Trump administration is also working to increase refining capacity, which he identified as a major factor keeping U.S. gasoline and diesel prices elevated during the conflict with Iran.

President Donald Trump said on Sept. 1 that Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and other major oil companies were preparing to invest in Venezuela.

“We have Exxon going in, we have Chevron going in, we have our big oil companies going in, and everybody’s bidding,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

The White House on Aug. 31 also announced a broader agreement that it said would give the United States access to roughly 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil.

Under that deal, Venezuela’s interim authorities granted North American Blue Energy Partners 100-year rights to operate 17 oil fields. The U.S. government received a stake in the company’s parent and the right to buy some of the oil at production cost.

Venezuela has an estimated 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, more than any other country. Despite that enormous resource base, its output declined for years because of underinvestment, deteriorating infrastructure, and mismanagement under the regime of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
Earlier this year, the Trump administration issued a
general license allowing specified oil and gas transactions with Venezuela after Maduro was captured in a Jan. 3 U.S. military raid and brought to the United States to face criminal charges.

Harvard said morgue manager Cedric Lodge’s actions were ‘despicable, abhorrent, ​and a flagrant betrayal of [Harvard’s] values as a ⁠medical community.’

Harvard University has agreed to pay $53 million to ‌resolve lawsuits brought by the families of those whose loved ones’ body parts were donated to its medical school only to be sold on the black market by its morgue manager.

A state court judge in Boston preliminarily approved a class action settlement on Aug. 18 that would resolve the lawsuits filed against the Ivy League institution eight months after Cedric Lodge, the former manager of Harvard Medical School’s morgue, was jailed.

Dozens of ​relatives of individuals whose bodies were donated to Harvard filed lawsuits accusing the school of negligence, ​contending that it turned a blind eye to Lodge’s years-long misconduct until he was indicted in 2023.

On Dec. 16, 2025, Lodge, 58, pleaded guilty to charges related to the interstate transportation of stolen goods and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

He admitted to stealing body parts from cadavers donated to Harvard Medical School’s Anatomical Gift Program and selling them to buyers across the country.

Morgue Manager Stole Brains, Skin, Bones

Prosecutors said that between 2018 and March 2020, Lodge stole and trafficked “heads, brains, skin, bones, and other human remains” after the donated bodies had been used for teaching and research.

His wife, Denise Lodge, 65, was also sentenced to 12 months and one day in prison.

Cedric Lodge, who had worked ⁠in Harvard’s morgue for almost three decades, smuggled the body parts from the morgue in Boston to his home in Goffstown, New Hampshire, where he and his ‌wife sold them, prosecutors said.

A judge had initially dismissed the class action lawsuit against Harvard, but in October 2025, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court overturned that decision, finding that the plaintiffs had sufficient claims that the institution had failed to act in good faith in handling the bodies.

“Instead of the dignified treatment and disposal of human remains required ... the donors’ remains were ghoulishly dismembered and sold for profit under the most horrifying of circumstances,” Justice Scott Kafker wrote in the court’s opinion at the time. “This horrific and undignified treatment continued for years and involved numerous donors.”

‘Flagrant Betrayal of Our Values’

Harvard’s dean of the faculty of medicine, Dr. George Daley, and the dean for medical education at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Bernard Chang, said in an Aug. 17 message to the school’s community that Lodge’s actions took place without the school’s knowledge.

“His violations ... were despicable, abhorrent, and a flagrant betrayal of our values as a medical community,” they wrote. “These events do not reflect the reverence we hold for the altruistic individuals who selflessly donate their bodies to our Anatomical Gift Program (AGP) to provide essential educational opportunities to medical and dental students, practicing surgeons, and allied health professionals.”

Daley and Chang offered their “deep sorrow and empathy” to the families of the donors and said that, in addition to the financial payment, they will provide a statement ​to ‌the families via a live webinar “confirming that Lodge’s criminal acts were morally reprehensible” and inconsistent with the standards Harvard Medical School expects for the treatment of anatomical donors.

John Morgan, whose law firm Morgan & Morgan represented families in the ​litigation, said, “We hope that ​this resolution ensures that this never happens to another family ever again.”

The remains were sold to, among others, Katrina MacLean, who ran Kat’s Creepy Creations, a studio and store in Peabody, Massachusetts, the indictment stated. Payments were often made to Denise Lodge through her PayPal account.

On Aug. 18, MacLean, 47, was sentenced to 24 months in prison by Chief Judge Matthew W. Brann of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania for interstate transportation of stolen property.
