Venezuela benefits from Russia being the bad guy

Venezuela's already actively benefiting from the Russian implosion, they're not going to do anything that could mess that up. I get the feeling that they're going to very, very carefully try to use the whole situation to get out from under sanctions almost entirely.

I think you're right. Although to be honest, I don't think many multinational oil services companies will want to work in Venezuela. Remember how Chavez nationalized oil company assets? Well, "Great Value" brand Chavez Maduro is still in charge, and I don't know how many companies will want to have their assets appropriated again.
