According to figures released by the Venezuela Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, the average price of Venezuelan crude sold by Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) during the week ending May 15 was $57.00, up just 26 cents from the previous week's $56.74.  WTI in New York averaged $59.95 -- up just 28 cents -- for the week, while Brent crude traded in London actually fell, averaging $66.11 -- down 64 cents from the previous week. According to Venezuelan government figures, the average price in 2015 for Venezuela's mix of heavy and medium crude is now $47.51.  More
