"I had to emigrate because of the situation, because here what I was earning only 4300 Sovereign Bolivars (approx 20 US dollars), but it is not sovereign at all. On the other hand, where I am going to work, they are offering me a salary of 4,500 US dollars per month."

6. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Nieves Ribullen, Venezuelan oil worker moving to Kurdistan:
"I can't get there (Kurdistan) by plane, because of the situation that the country is going through. The facilities of the Kurdistan airport have been taken over by rebels, because of the problem they have. That is a country that is at war, they are going through many problems. Then, the danger to which we submit ourselves to, we have to endure. Fourteen hours of travel in a vehicle, to be able to work in a country where we do not know anyone, we do not speak the language, but the situation has led us to go through that kind of danger. So, of course it is hard for me to be away from my family, it is hard for me to be away from my children and my wife, but I am practically forced to do so because of the situation that we are living in."

"From 2014 to 2016, 5,500 colleagues from the oil industry resigned and as of August of 2016 that number was growing in such a way that right now, in the oil (producing) areas of the country, there is barely 8 percent of the trained personnel left. They wanted to supplant it, replace it with the Chamba Youth programme (A government programme for young workers) but it is impossible. In this last month there were accidents in PDVSA (State-run Venezuelan oil company) and in the national petrochemical industry. What happened there? Those personnel who are not trained but charged with managing the plants and accidents have occurred such as leaks to the environment of toxic gases and it also happened that a tank collapsed in the petrochemical industry."

"It is impossible to maintain such personnel in the national oil industry. Man hours, hours of training are being lost. Millions of hours, that we do not have the exact count of because it is impossible, not only of the oil industry, but also of the basic companies, of Corpoelec (State company for electric energy), of the state institutions. The countries that are benefiting from this: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Europe."

STORYLINE:
A Venezuelan oil worker sick of struggling to get by as his country falls apart, is betting it all on far-away Kurdistan to give his family a better life.
Over the years Nieves Ribullen watched dozens of co-workers abandon poverty wages and dangerous working conditions at the rundown complex of refineries in Punto Fijo on Venezuela's Caribbean coast for jobs in far-flung places like Kuwait, Angola and Chile.
Now it's his turn.
Leaving his wife and three children behind, he'll soon ship out to Kurdistan, where he expects to earn 4,500 US dollars a month, a fortune compared to the less than 20 US dollars he brings home monthly in increasingly unstable Venezuela.
"I am practically forced to do so because of the situation that we are living in," Ribullen said.
But the accelerating exodus of oil workers means that Venezuela's crude production, already at a seven-decade low, is unlikely to rebound anytime soon, even if recently-imposed US sanctions are lifted and a business-friendly government replaces the increasingly wobbly President Nicolas Maduro.
Venezuela was once one of the world's top five oil exporters, pumping 3.5 million barrels a day in 1998 when President Hugo Chavez was elected and launched Venezuela's Bolivarian revolution.
Today, the state-run oil company PDVSA produces less than a third of that.
Critics blame corruption and years of mismanagement by the socialist government.
Venezuela's oil workers began flooding out in 2003, shortly after Chavez fired thousands of them, many by name on national television, for launching a strike that paralyzed output.
The oil workers accused Chavez of riding roughshod over the nation's democratic institutions, while Chavez said the picketers were plotting a coup.
Many have made new lives in their adopted countries with no plans to return to a gutted Venezuela.
And with each new departure, fewer remain behind with the know-how to pump the world's most abundant oil reserves, once the economic backbone of a thriving country.
"We are losing man hours, hours of training, millions and millions of hours that we can't calculate," said union leader Ivan Freites.
The 43-year-old Ribullen said he was thinking of his family when made the decision to go to Kurdistan, leaving them behind until he's saved enough to send them to Chile or the United States.
He recalled starting work at PDVSA 16 years ago, when he made enough money to buy a Toyota and take his family to the Caribbean island of Aruba on vacation every year.
Now, the car is long gone and it's been seven years since the last family vacation.
Sometimes after his night shift he's forced to stand in line for hours at the market to buy food for his family.
He blames Chavez and Maduro for destroying his country.
In Kurdistan, a semi-autonomous region within Iraq, he'll join dozens of other Venezuelan labourers who live and work on a remote compound.
