You're missing the point, as well as blaming the victim
Let's say you run a rig. Chavez nationalizes the one next door. Who on earth can you sell your rig to? Answer: no-one on earth. Chavez will 'buy' it, but the price he offers is zero.
So you mothball the plant. But Chavez threatens to seize it if you don't agree to resume work at a functional loss (including risk costs, you see).
Still not worth running the plant. So Chavez steals it, knowing that the worlds' SuperPower is suffering from temporary insanity and won't stop him
You plug the well and remove the hardware.
