More than half a year after the U.S. captured and extracted Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela, the biggest American oil firms haven’t returned to operating oilfields in the world’s largest oil reserves holder.

Across Europe, thousands of anaerobic digesters are already producing a methane-rich gas close to the farms and food industries that consume fertilizer. Most sites burn it in a combined heat and power unit, upgrade it to biomethane, or flare a small surplus. Very few ask a more disruptive…

Much of today’s spending supports projects and discoveries made years ago. Maintaining production beyond this decade will require more exploration,…
