>I think that was so years ago, but ever since Chavez started getting so much bad press, I think Citgo started buying gas from others (and AFAIK they weren't owned, just had a tight procurement contract with Venezuela).
Citgo is incorporated in the U.S. but
owned by Petroleos de Venezuela, the
national (state owned) oil company of Venezuela.
In September, 1986, Southland sold a 50 percent interest in CITGO to Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. PDVSA acquired the remaining half of CITGO in January, 1990http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO/CompanyHistory.jsp
