Petroleros de Cabimas

The Petroleros de Cabimas was a baseball club that played from 1991 through 1995 in the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League. The Petroleros joined the league as an expansion team in the Western Division and played its home games at Estadio Víctor Davalillo in Cabimas, a town on the shore of Maracaibo Lake in Zulia State.

The Petroleros performed poorly during their four seasons in the league, always ending last in the four-team Western Division, and never reached the playoffs.

The Cabimas team withdrew after the 1994-95 season due to its bad performance, the poor attendance and the few support it received, and was replaced by the Pastora de Occidente in the 1995–1996 tournament.
