Takeaways:

* Satellites have detected enormous amounts of methane billowing from Venezuela's abandoned oil rigs, rusty pipelines and other dilapidated energy infrastructure.

* Roughly 13 billion cubic meters of Venezuela's natural gas is flared, vented or leaked into the atmosphere every year, wasting about $1.4 billion of potential revenue.

* Restoring the nation's production levels will require companies to invest about $100 billion over the next decade and also require careful operational management and oversight long into the future.
