Pre-canned full-text searches across the SEC EDGAR corpus for any mention of Venezuela, PDVSA, CITGO, impairment charges, contingent liabilities, or sanctions exposure in 10-K, 20-F, 10-Q, and 8-K filings.
SEC EDGAR's full-text search is free and powerful but the UI is
hostile to the questions analysts actually ask. This tool packages
seven of the most common Venezuela-research queries — written by
someone who has spent too many hours in efts.sec.gov —
so you can launch them with one click, with the right form filter
and date window already applied.
Each preset opens directly on EDGAR. If you want a sourced, pre-analysed answer for a specific S&P 500 ticker instead, type the company below — we'll route you to its Venezuela-exposure profile page (OFAC SDN match, EDGAR scan, news corpus, all in one place).
Type a name (e.g. Chevron, Halliburton) or ticker (CVX, HAL, SLB). We resolve to the canonical Venezuela-exposure profile for that ticker, which already includes the EDGAR full-text scan results inline.
Each card below opens an SEC EDGAR full-text search with the query, form types, and date window already filled in. You can edit any of them on EDGAR's UI once it loads.
"Which public companies disclosed Venezuela, PDVSA, or CITGO in their most recent annual or quarterly reports?"
The widest possible Venezuela disclosure net. Use this as the starting point — every company that mentions Venezuela in an annual or quarterly will appear here.
Run on EDGAR →"Which companies have booked an impairment, write-down, or deconsolidation tied to their Venezuelan operations?"
The historical-exposure question. Most multinationals exited Venezuela between 2015 and 2020 via impairment charges or deconsolidation — this surfaces those filings.
Run on EDGAR →"Which companies disclose PDVSA or CITGO as a customer, supplier, joint-venture partner, or off-take counterparty?"
PDVSA's commercial counterparties have to disclose the relationship under both materiality and OFAC-compliance rules. This is the cleanest way to enumerate them.
Run on EDGAR →"Which companies disclose ongoing arbitration, expropriation claims, or contingent liabilities tied to Venezuela?"
Decades of expropriation claims (ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Crystallex, etc.) are still working through ICSID and US courts. This preset surfaces who is still litigating.
Run on EDGAR →"Which companies disclose OFAC Venezuela sanctions, general licenses, or sanctions-compliance risks in their filings?"
Most companies that discuss OFAC Venezuela sanctions in a 10-K do so because they have, or had, exposure they need to ring-fence. Useful for the compliance-officer-as-investor.
Run on EDGAR →"Which funds or insurers hold (or held) Venezuelan sovereign or PDVSA debt and disclosed it in their reports?"
Distressed-debt funds, EM bond funds, and insurers held Venezuela paper through default. N-CSR and N-Q forms expose fund-level holdings.
Run on EDGAR →"Which creditors have disclosed CITGO / PDV Holding shares as collateral, security, or judgment satisfaction?"
CITGO's parent (PDVH) is the asset behind the Crystallex Delaware auction. Bondholders, judgment creditors, and advisers all touch it in their filings.
