Italian energy company Eni SpA sees potential to export Venezuelan gas in a fresh sign of the Caribbean country’s gradual return to international markets under a US-supported interim administration.

Eni said a new agreement, which was announced by Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez on Thursday, will allow the company to continue selling natural gas to national oil company Petróleos de Venezuela SA in 2026 while exploring longer-term export options, including floating liquefaction.
