Chevron Targets 600K bpd Venezuela Output, Signs 2.67 GW Microsoft PPA
CVX sits 42% above its 52-week low of $146.49.
Summary
Chevron is expanding its Venezuela footprint with a target of 600,000 barrels per day by 2031, building on the joint venture agreements announced earlier this month. The company also signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft for 2.67 GW of behind-the-meter capacity, a significant energy supply deal. Additional developments include offshore seismic surveys off Greece and continued operator status at Gorgon LNG amid JERA's stake sale. The Q3 industry profit surge near $53B, driven by record refining margins, positions Chevron to benefit from strong sector tailwinds. These moves reinforce Chevron's growth strategy across upstream, LNG, and power markets.
