Part 3/5:
Why These Companies Are Key to the Cartels' Success
Without the aid of independent U.S. oil and gas companies, the entire pipeline for these cartels would face significant disruptions. The resources, equipment, and infrastructure provided by these firms are crucial for the cartels’ ability to produce, transport, and distribute their illicit commodities efficiently.
The continued operation of these companies ensures that the profits remain high, and the cartels can operate with relative ease across borders. The logistical backbone provided by these firms minimizes risks and maximizes profits for the criminal organizations.
