“We delivered strong financial and operational results, started up key projects in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and returned record cash to shareholders this quarter,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer.

“Worldwide net oil-equivalent production increased 7 percent from last year as U.S. and Permian Basin production set another quarterly record. Chevron started up key projects in Anchor, Jack/St. Malo and Tahiti fields this quarter. These projects, combined with additional project start-ups through 2025, are expected to grow U.S. Gulf of Mexico production to 300,000 barrels of net oil-equivalent per day by 2026,” Wirth said.

“We are also taking steps to optimize our portfolio and reduce operating costs to deliver superior long-term value to shareholders,” Wirth concluded. The company expects to close asset sales in Canada, Congo and Alaska in fourth quarter 2024, as part of its plan to divest $10billion-$15 billion of assets by 2028. Additionally, cost reduction efforts are underway, and the company is targeting $2-3 billion of structural cost reductions from 2024 by the end of 2026.”
