Venezuela is bypassing US sanctions by importing gas condensateThe Venezuelan state oil company imports half a million barrels of gas condensate daily to combine it with its super-heavy crude oil.

A consignment of gas condensate that Venezuela needs to dilute its heavy crude oil arrived in the country on Wednesday. But the import of gas condensate and the export of crude oil combined with it are currently under US sanctions.
