"If they shut down the company, we'll militarize it. I am not going to allow Petroleos de Venezuela to be shut down," Chavez said.

Spoken like a true idiot ! Operating oil wells today is a highly technical, sophisticated business. In this situation the military will have little more value than a herd of chimpanzees from the nearest zoo. Improper operation could result in permanent production cuts, both in rates and reserves.

Somebody needs to give Chavez a little less Marxist fervor and a little more horse sense.

He looks to Castro for his inspiration so I don't think he's capable of rational thought.
