HOUSTON, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods said on Friday the U.S. oil major could hit the ground running in Venezuela and evaluate potentially returning to Venezuela.

"It's absolutely critical that we get a technical team in place to assess the current state of the industry," Woods said.

The comments were made during a White House meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday with other oil executives.
