In 1922, a blowout at a well called Los Barrosos 2 in Cabimas, on the eastern shore of Lake Maracaibo, sent a column of oil roaring into the sky, nine stories high, for nine straight days. That event is often called the moment Venezuela became an oil nation—but the story is richer and stranger than the myth. We trace the real history of that gusher, the rivalry between Royal Dutch Shell and Standard Oil that brought it about, and the local workers who did the dangerous labor long before the foreign managers showed up. We also look at the instant transformation of the town of Cabimas from a lakeside fishing village into a frontier boomtown, with makeshift housing, malaria, and explosive growth. And we ask: did that single well really determine Venezuela's fate, or did it just make visible a process that had been building for decades? This episode covers the Venezuelan Oil Law of 1922, the role of dictator Juan Vicente Gómez, and the forgotten engineer R. W. J. 'Red' Leggett who supervised the well. #Venezuela #OilHistory #Cabimas #LakeMaracaibo #LosBarrosos2 #RoyalDutchShell #StandardOil #JuanVicenteGómez #1922 #VenezuelanOilLaw #Boomtown #Petroleum #Gusher #Leggett #FishingVillage #History #FexingoHistory #SouthAmerica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
