Chevron Reports Record US Output Amid Middle East Supply Disruptions

Chevron (CVX) reported a surge in production for the first quarter of 2026 on Friday even as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East begin to weigh on international operations.The company's US production exceeded 2 million oil-equivalent barrels per day for the third consecutive quarter.The year-over-year production increase was largely attributed to the integration of Hess Corporation and continued momentum in the Permian Basin and the Gulf of Mexico.These gains helped offset significant operational headwinds, including downtime at the 50 percent owned Tengizchevroil (TCO) affiliate and production curtailments in Israel and the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait."We continue to closely monitor developments in the Middle East with a focus on the safety of our workforce and the integrity of our assets and operations," said Mike Wirth, Chevron's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, acknowledging the regional volatility that has impacted the company's footprint.Chevron's US upstream segment saw earnings rise, supported by a net oil-equivalent production increase of 388,000 barrels per day compared to the previous year.In contrast, international upstream earnings were lower than year-ago levels.Despite a volume boost of 117,000 barrels per day from the Hess acquisition, the segment was hampered by unfavorable foreign currency effects, higher depreciation costs, and the production dip at TCO.The company's refining sector hit major milestones this quarter, with US refinery crude unit throughput maintaining levels over 1 million barrels per day for the fifth straight quarter, reaching an all-time record in March 2026.In the US downstream segment earnings improved primarily due to higher refined product margins, though a higher litigation reserve capped the gains, Chevron noted.The international downstream segment faced challenges, with earnings falling due to lower margins, unfavorable timing effects, and rising transportation costs, the company said.

Market Chatter: Trump Meets Oil Executives at White House to Discuss Energy Market Impacts of Iran War

US President Donald Trump and a number of senior government officials met executives from the oil and gas industry at the White House on Tuesday to discuss the implications of the Iran war, Axios reported on Wednesday.Chevron (CVX) CEO Mike Wirth was among attendees, a company spokesperson confirmed to Axios.The discussion covered domestic production, Venezuela's oil sector, the oil futures market, natural gas and shipping, a White House official told Axios, but nothing is known about the conclusions of the talks, if any.While the US is relatively insulated from the supply shock that has mainly hit Asia since the Feb. 28 of the Iran war, higher gasoline prices in the US, amid growing competition for its hydrocarbons, risk repercussions for the administration.Axios said average gasoline prices were $4.18 per gallon on Tuesday, citing to the American Automobile Association. That is the highest level since 2022.With limited scope to lower prices, Axios said prolonged higher prices may result in demand destruction, basically less consumption, in the US, as has already been seen elsewhere.The White House did not immediately respond to' request for comment.(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Chevron Upstream Gains Offset by Timing Impacts; Exxon Hit by Disruptions, RBC Says

Chevron (CVX) and ExxonMobil (XOM) are to post Q1 results this week, with consensus EPS at $1.02 and $0.94, respectively, amid war-driven market volatility, RBC Capital Markets said in a Tuesday note.Chevron could report adjusted EPS of $1.02 per share versus RBC's $0.83 estimate, while cash flow from operations may reach $6.72 billion compared with $6.26 billion forecast, RBC said.The company's upstream segment may gain $1.6 billion to $2.2 billion from stronger commodity prices, while production could range between 3.8 million and 3.9 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, RBC added.Chevron faces negative downstream timing impacts of $2.7 billion to $3.7 billion after tax due to the Middle East conflict, although these effects should reverse over time, the note said.Chevron maintains limited exposure to the Middle East, with regional liquids accounting for just over 1% of output compared with 8% for Exxon and 11% to 19% for European peers, RBC said.RBC expects Chevron may raise its share buyback guidance above the current $10 billion to $20 billion range, with consensus estimating $3.7 billion for Q2 and $13.7 billion for the full year, it said.ExxonMobil could post adjusted EPS of $0.94 per share versus RBC's $1.17 estimate, while cash flow may total $10.62 billion compared with $14.45 billion forecast, RBC said.The company reported negative timing effects of $3.5 billion to $4.9 billion, equivalent to about $0.93 per share at the midpoint, which it expects to reverse over time, the note said.Exxon expects volume disruptions in the Middle East to reduce earnings by $400 million to $800 million, with an additional $600 million to $800 million impact tied to hedged cargoes, RBC added.Upstream production could decline about 6% sequentially, although tax regimes in the Middle East may limit the overall earnings impact, the note said.RBC said Exxon has greater regional exposure, with Qatar LNG accounting for about two-thirds of its global liquefied natural gas portfolio, thereby increasing sensitivity to disruptions.Investors are focusing on damage to Middle East assets, including two LNG trains in Qatar, which may take three to five years to return to full operations, RBC said.Refining margins remain a key uncertainty, with Exxon capturing only $0 to $400 million in uplift, lower than earlier expectations, the note added.RBC set a $220 price target for Chevron based on a 10x 2027 EV/DACF multiple, while Exxon carries a $180 target using an 11x multiple, reflecting relative valuation differences, it said.The firm maintained an Outperform rating on Chevron and a Sector Perform rating on ExxonMobil, citing differing exposure to geopolitical risks and earnings visibility, the note said.Price: $188.18, Change: $+3.40, Percent Change: +1.84%

Interest Grows in North American Hydrocarbons as Middle East Conflict Endures, Says WoodMac

The depth and duration of the disruption to global energy supplies by the closure of a single waterway in the Middle East's cluster of oil producing countries has prompted increased interest in resources available elsewhere, Wood Mackenzie said in an opinion article on Monday.While there were already plans to increase production from various geographies before the Iran war, the conflict has provided additional momentum to bring these forth, according to the article's author, Ed Crooks, Wood Mackenzie Vice Chair for the Americas and Energy Gang podcast host.Venezuela has been moving faster to raise output, something facilitated by the capture of President Nicolas Madura in January. Legislative reforms have passed in the National Assembly giving clarity of maximum royalties and taxes.At the same time, state oil company PDVSA lost exclusive control of oil production and sales, the article said, making way for private players to have control of their own projects and access to arbitration.Foreign oil companies have set out plans to boost the country's output. Chevron (CVX) said it can boost its production in Venezuela by 50% over an 18-24 month timespan and Repsol is aiming for the same increase within 12 months.Shell (SHEL) is said to be in negotiations with Venezuela's government to develop more gas assets and could take final investment decisions before the end of the year if conditions are right.Elsewhere, there was record revenue generated by a lease sale of areas in Alaska's National Petroleum reserve, Crooks noted, while in the Gulf of Mexico, which the US government recognizes as Gulf of America, Occidental Petroleum (OXY) said it had made an oil discovery that would extend the working life of its production facilities.BP (BP) last month said it received approval from the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to develop its $5 billion Kaskida project.Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's president, said she was in favor of increasing natural gas production through development of unconventional resources to reduce dependence on the US which provides about 75% of Mexico's gas. It now targets output of 3.2 billion cubic feet per day from unconventional sources by 2035.Given the lead times involved in establishing more projects, companies need relative certainty of future commodities prices and change in output to decide on whether investing is viable.There is no sign of any general uptick in US energy industry activity at present with no increase in the number of drilling rigs operating in the US around mid-April, the article said.Venezuela has been able to achieve an increase as a result of easing of US sanctions, with output rising to 1.1 million barrels a day in March from 900,000 in January. But resources like those in Alaska or the Gulf of America will need years to reach the market.Venezuela may have some capacity to boost LNG supply if its gas can be piped to Trinidad to supply the Atlantic LNG liquefaction plant there.Meanwhile Eni (E) and Repsol have reached a deal with Venezuela's government through which they will export gas from the Perla field using a floating LNG vessel. There is also an opportunity for gas to be piped to Colombia, which would free up the LNG it otherwise uses.
