Multiple sources (Reuters, AP, White House fact sheet, Inter-American Dialogue) report the Venezuela oil deal is expected to draw about $100 billion in investment, matching the claim's figure as a projected outcome; the claim's wording ('will result in') is an expectation rather than a realized fact, and sources note delivery depends on funding not yet clarified.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

… Chevron's here; no one else is. We're giving confidence to help rebuild this country. The U.S. Is giving its seal of approval for companies to go in there.

Supports. The Venezuelan government statement, relayed by AP and others, says the agreement 'could draw $100 billion in investment' into Venezuela's oil industry.[1][4][5][6]
Supports. Reuters describes a US-led '$100 billion investment plan' expected to double Venezuela's output in coming years, and the White House fact sheet highlights the deal's investment framing.[2][3]
Context. Analysts and reporting note the $100 billion has not been identified with a clear funding source and will take years to turn into production, so the investment is a projection rather than an accomplished fact.[7][8][9]
Context. The sources give no evidence that the investment figure is wrong; they only show it is a target dependent on future capital, which is a projection rather than a checkable present fact.[7][10]
