Jan 7 (Reuters) - U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright
said on Wednesday that revenue from Venezuelan oil sales will be
used to stabilize the country's economy first, before repaying
Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips ( COP ) for its losses
there.
Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips ( COP ) were major
producers in the country before their projects were nationalized
by former President Hugo Chavez nearly two decades ago.
