Energy Stocks Surge Driven by U.S. Policy and AI Fatigue
- Energy Stock Surge: As of February 11, 2026, the State Street Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF has risen 23% year-to-date, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's less than 2% increase, indicating strong investor confidence in the energy sector.
- Impact of U.S. Policy: Following the U.S. military's detention of Venezuelan President Maduro on January 3, investors believe that major oil companies like Chevron and ExxonMobil may gain special access to Venezuela's 19.4 billion barrels of oil reserves, potentially driving oil prices higher and enhancing their market positions.
- Escalating Geopolitical Risks: With rising tensions between the U.S. and Iran, particularly the deployment of a carrier group in the region, the market anticipates that any conflict could lead to a temporary spike in global oil prices, further stimulating energy stock performance.
- Shift to Energy Investments: Amidst fatigue in AI-related stocks, some investors are reallocating funds to energy stocks, viewing them as a more reliable long-term investment, although experts caution that restoring Venezuela's oil sector will require years and substantial capital.

ConocoPhillips Plans to Restart Three Norwegian Oil Fields
- Investment Scale: ConocoPhillips and its partners submitted plans to the Norwegian government to invest NOK 20 billion (approximately $2.1 billion) to restart production at three oil fields in the Greater Ekofisk area by the end of 2028, reflecting the company's confidence in the future oil and gas market.
- Development Details: The development will comprise 11 wells and four subsea templates tied back to the Ekofisk complex via a shared multiphase pipeline, with Albuskjell featuring two subsea templates and six wells, while Vest Ekofisk and Tommeliten Gamma will each have one subsea template with three and two associated wells, respectively, aimed at enhancing overall capacity.
- Resource Potential: ConocoPhillips estimates that the Albuskjell, Vest Ekofisk, and Tommeliten Gamma fields still hold 90 million to 120 million barrels of oil equivalent in natural gas and condensate, indicating significant development potential that is expected to generate substantial revenue for the company.
- Production Expectations: First gas is anticipated in Q4 2028, with peak production estimated at 36,000 gross barrels of oil equivalent per day, which, if regulatory approval is obtained, will further strengthen the company's competitive position in the Norwegian market.

U.S. Energy Secretary Visits Venezuela Amid Oil Revenue Changes
- Revenue Account Change: U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced that Venezuelan oil revenues will no longer be deposited in a Qatar account but will instead go to the U.S. Treasury, aiming to enhance fund transparency and reduce creditor claim risks.
- Surge in Oil Sales Revenue: Wright revealed that Venezuelan oil sales revenue has now topped $1 billion, with an expected additional $5 billion in crude sales through short-term agreements in the coming months, indicating strong U.S. interest and intent to rebuild Venezuela's oil market.
- Political Recognition Complexity: Although the U.S. does not officially recognize the government led by Delcy Rodríguez, Wright indicated that elections and a transition of power may occur during Trump's term, which will influence the U.S.'s ultimate recognition of the Venezuelan government.
- Debt Risk Management: Wright noted that the initial $500 million from oil sales was deposited in Qatar to prevent creditors from freezing the funds, reflecting the immense pressure Venezuela faces in repaying tens of billions in sovereign debt and nationalizing assets.
