“Despite heightened geopolitical volatility and related supply disruptions, Chevron delivered solid first quarter performance, underscoring the resilience of our portfolio and the value of disciplined execution,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Strong operating results in the United States, particularly following the integration of Hess, and continued growth in the Gulf of America and Permian Basin, drove higher production while maintaining financial flexibility.”
“Our U.S. refineries operated at record crude throughput in March, capital spending remains within guidance, and our structural cost reductions are firmly on track,” Wirth continued. “This disciplined performance supports dependable cash generation, enabling us to continue returning significant capital to shareholders, while investing in advantaged long-lived assets.”
“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,” Wirth concluded. “The unpredictable external environment reinforces the importance of disciplined investment to ensure reliable energy supply and global energy security.”

Financial Highlights
Reported earnings decreased compared to first quarter 2025 primarily due to unfavorable timing effects of approximately $2.9 billion. These effects include timing mismatches in earnings recognition related to the mark-to-market of financial derivatives prior to the physical delivery of the associated hydrocarbons, as well as the impact of LIFO inventory accounting. Excluding those unfavorable effects, earnings improved due to upstream production growth and higher refining margins.
Production in the first quarter of 2026 was higher than first quarter last year largely due to the acquisition of Hess Corporation (Hess) and growth in the Gulf of America and the Permian Basin, partly offset by downtime at the company’s 50 percent owned affiliate Tengizchevroil (TCO) and curtailments in the Middle East (Israel and the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait). U.S. production exceeded 2 million oil-equivalent barrels per day for the third consecutive quarter.
U.S. refinery crude unit throughput remains over 1 million barrels per day for the fifth consecutive quarter and achieved a record in March 2026.
Capex in the first quarter of 2026 was higher than last year largely due to spend on legacy Hess assets, partially offset by lower spend in the Permian Basin.
Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2026 was lower than a year ago primarily due to higher working capital outflows largely resulting from the sharp increase in commodity prices in March 2026. Adjusted free cash flow benefited from a $1 billion loan repayment from TCO.
The company returned $6.0 billion of cash to shareholders during the quarter, including share repurchases of $2.5 billion and dividends of $3.5 billion.
The company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of one dollar and seventy-eight cents ($1.78) per share, payable June 10, 2026, to all holders of common stock as shown on the transfer records of the corporation at the close of business on May 19, 2026.

NOTICE
Chevron’s discussion of first quarter 2026 earnings with security analysts will take place on Friday, May 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CT. A webcast of the meeting will be available in a listen-only mode to individual investors, media, and other interested parties on Chevron’s website at www.chevron.com under the “Investors” section. Prepared remarks for today’s call, additional financial and operating information and other complementary materials will be available prior to the call at approximately 5:30 a.m. CT and located under “Events and Presentations” in the “Investors” section on the Chevron website. Chevron also publishes a “Sensitivities and Forward Guidance” document with consolidated guidance and sensitivities that is updated quarterly and posted to the Chevron website the month prior to earnings calls.
As used in this news release, the term “Chevron” and such terms as “the company,” “the corporation,” “our,” “we,” “us” and “its” may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them taken as a whole. All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs. Structural cost reductions describe decreases in operating expenses from operational efficiencies, divestments, and other cost saving measures that are expected to be sustainable compared with 2024 levels.
Please visit Chevron’s website and Investor Relations page at www.chevron.com and www.chevron.com/investors, LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/chevron, X: @Chevron, Facebook: www.facebook.com/chevron, and Instagram: www.instagram.com/chevron, where Chevron often discloses important information about the company, its business, and its results of operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures - This news release includes adjusted earnings/(loss), which reflect earnings or losses excluding significant non-operational items including impairment charges, write-offs, decommissioning obligations from previously sold assets, severance costs, gains on asset sales, legal reserves for ceased operations, fair value adjustments for investments in equity securities, unusual tax items, effects of pension settlements and curtailments, foreign currency effects and other special items. We believe it is useful for investors to consider this measure in comparing the underlying performance of our business across periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation to net income (loss) attributable to Chevron Corporation is shown in Attachment 4.
This news release also includes cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Cash flow from operations excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net changes in operating working capital, and represents cash generated by operating activities excluding the timing impacts of working capital. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding working capital plus proceeds and deposits related to asset sales and returns of investments plus net repayment (borrowing) of loans by equity affiliates and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business excluding the timing impacts of working capital. The company believes these measures are useful to monitor the financial health of the company and its performance over time. Reconciliations of cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are shown in Attachment 3.
This news release also includes net debt ratio and net debt-to-CFFO ratio. Net debt ratio is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and marketable securities (net debt) as a percentage of net debt plus Chevron Corporation stockholders’ equity, which indicates the company’s leverage, net of its cash balances. The net debt-to-CFFO ratio is defined as net debt divided by CFFO for the prior four quarters, which measures the company’s ability to cover its net debt using the cash it generates from operations. The company believes these measures are useful to monitor the strength of the company’s balance sheet. A reconciliation of net debt ratio and net debt-to-CFFO ratio is shown in Attachment 2.

Chevron Consolidates Venezuela Heavy Oil Position in Asset SwapApril 13, 2026 4:57 PM
Business Wire
Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) announced today it has, through its subsidiaries with interests in Venezuela, agreed to an asset swap with Petroleos de Venezuela, S. A. (“PDVSA”) and subsidiaries of PDVSA in a mutually beneficial agreement which will consolidate all parties’ focus on strategic assets in the country.
Under the agreement, Chevron will receive an additional 13.21% working interest in the Petroindependencia, S.A. joint venture, increasing its total stake to 49%. In addition, Petropiar, S.A. joint venture, in which Chevron’s subsidiary holds a 30% interest, has been assigned the rights to develop the adjacent Ayacucho 8 area located in the Orinoco Oil Belt of Venezuela.
Venezuela will receive from Chevron subsidiaries its 60% and 100% operated interests in the offshore Plataforma Deltana Block 21 and Block 32 gas licenses, respectively, and its 25.2% non-operated interest in the Petroindependiente, S.A. joint venture located in western Venezuela.
“This agreement expands Chevron’s heavy oil position in two key joint ventures in Venezuela and reflects our disciplined development of the country’s significant resources. Ayacucho 8 is a producing asset in close proximity to Petropiar, which enhances development efficiencies,” said Javier La Rosa, President of Chevron Base Assets and Emerging Countries. “This asset swap marks another important step in Chevron’s long history in Venezuela and reinforces our role in supporting regional energy security.”
Chevron is one of the leading energy companies in Venezuela, with a presence that dates back to 1923. Petroindependencia and Petropiar operate extra-heavy oil from projects in the Orinoco Oil Belt.
Chevron has a broad production and exploration footprint across Latin America, with active operations spanning conventional, shale, and offshore assets. The company produces oil and gas across key countries including Argentina, Guyana, and Venezuela, supported by operated and non-operated assets. In parallel, Chevron maintains a strong exploration portfolio with about 35 active exploration blocks across Brazil, Suriname, Uruguay, and Peru, positioning the company for long-term growth while maintaining a balanced mix of production and future opportunities across the region.

Global Energy Pressures Elevate the Importance of New Supply FrontiersApril 10, 2026 9:00 AM
InvestorsHub NewsWireGlobal Energy Pressures Elevate the Importance of New Supply FrontiersNetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Escalating geopolitical tensions and renewed disruptions to key shipping corridors, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, are once again highlighting a persistent vulnerability: global energy security remains fragile. Despite years of diversification efforts, both the United States and Europe continue to face exposure to supply disruptions capable of cascading through economies, industries and households. In this environment, companies focused on unlocking new energy resources in politically stable regions are attracting increased attention. Greenland Energy Company (NASDAQ: GLND) (profile) is one such operator, advancing exploration activities within Greenland's Jameson Land Basin. With the potential for a substantial oil resource and plans to drill key wells, the company is positioning itself within a broader narrative centered on strengthening energy independence for Western economies. Through its focus on exploration and production, Greenland Energy operates alongside major industry participants pursuing similar objectives, including TotalEnergies SE (NYSE: TTE), Hess Corporation, a subsidiary of Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX), Eni SpA (NYSE: E) and Equinor ASA (NYSE: EQNR)Greenland Energy Company's primary asset is located within the Jameson Land Basin, an area long recognized for its favorable geological characteristics. Historically, significant oil discoveries have had a profound impact on both regional and global energy markets. A defining characteristic of Greenland Energy Company is its financial structure.Management expertise plays a vital role in assessing early-stage energy companies, particularly those working in frontier regions.The wider importance of Greenland Energy's work is closely tied to its geopolitical context.Click here to view the custom infographic of the Greenland Energy editorial.Geopolitical Instability Sharpens Energy Security FocusOngoing instability in the Middle East has intensified concerns regarding the resilience of global energy supply networks. The Strait of Hormuz, responsible for the transit of approximately 20% of global oil consumption, remains one of the most strategically important chokepoints in international trade. Historically, disruptions in this region have triggered sharp price volatility and heightened geopolitical risk.Reducing dependence on such vulnerable transit routes has become a priority for policymakers across both North America and Europe. The European Commission has consistently emphasized the need to diversify energy sources and expand domestic production capacity in response to recent crises. In addition, policy discussions in the United States have become more focused on reshoring or near-shoring energy supply chains to mitigate exposure to global instability.According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), while diversification efforts have made progress, global oil markets remain deeply interconnected. As a result, disruptions in one region can have far-reaching effects on pricing and supply worldwide. This dynamic underscores the strategic importance of developing new, dependable sources of energy in geopolitically stable areas.With this in mind, Greenland Energy Company's work to advance oil development in Greenland support a broader movement toward greater energy independence. By aiming for large-scale resources in a region aligned with Western interests, the company's strategy reflects an increased urgency to obtain long-term, reliable supply sources.Advancing Exploration in the Jameson BasinGreenland Energy Company's primary asset is located within the Jameson Land Basin, an area long recognized for its favorable geological characteristics. Estimates suggest the basin may contain up to 13 billion barrels of oil, positioning it among the more compelling underexplored regions globally.Viewed in a broader industry context, this level of potential is significant. Discoveries exceeding one billion barrels are often categorized as "giant" fields, highlighting the possible impact of a multibillion-barrel resource if successfully developed. Decades of geological research have identified key elements within the basin, including suitable source rocks, reservoir formations and trapping structures.Recent developments indicate that Greenland Energy is progressing toward unlocking this potential. The company recently secured access to drilling capacity through a strategic agreement, an important step given that infrastructure availability often represents a major constraint in frontier exploration.In addition, the company has reported that, following the drilling of two targeted wells, it plans to secure rights to approximately 70% of the Jameson Land Basin, representing roughly two million acres. This level of ownership would significantly increase exposure to the basin's resource base and could represent a transformative opportunity if exploration efforts prove successful.Potential Scale Points to Major DiscoveryHistorically, significant oil discoveries have had a profound impact on both regional and global energy markets. Developments in areas such as the North Sea and offshore Brazil have reshaped supply dynamics, created economic hubs and reduced reliance on established producing regions. The Jameson Land Basin has grabbed the spotlight and is often considered within this same framework.Industry attention toward Greenland's hydrocarbon potential has grown, supported by recent agreements related to drilling and logistical partnerships. These developments suggest that exploration activity in the region is gaining momentum, with Greenland Energy preparing to drill its initial wells this year.A "world-class" discovery is typically defined by both its size and its ability to be economically recovered. While exploration inherently carries risk, the estimated scale of the Jameson Land Basin places it in a category that, if supported by drilling exploration, could rank among the most significant discoveries in recent history.This potential is especially relevant given the decline in major new discoveries globally over the past decade. Data indicates that annual discovered volumes have decreased substantially since the early 2010s, while the International Energy Agency continues to note the need for new discoveries to offset declining production from existing fields. As a result, frontier basins with substantial untapped resources are becoming increasingly valuable.Within this framework, Greenland Energy's exploration program represents more than a single project; it reflects involvement in a broader industry effort to identify the next generation of large-scale energy supply. The results of its drilling activities could therefore carry implications beyond the company itself.Strong Capital Structure Supports FlexibilityA defining characteristic of Greenland Energy Company is its financial structure. Based on recent disclosures, the company appears to operate with limited leverage, which may provide greater flexibility as it advances its exploration initiatives.In an industry where development often requires substantial upfront capital, companies with high debt burdens can face restraints on operational decision-making. A relatively clean balance sheet allows management to allocate resources more strategically, particularly during early-stage exploration.Market data suggests the company's enterprise value falls within an approximate range of $200 million to $220 million, with market capitalization estimates in late March ranging between $300 million and $345 million. This valuation may be considered modest relative to the scale of the resource potential being targeted, a dynamic that can attract investor interest in early-stage exploration opportunities.The company's ability to secure calculated agreements, including drilling partnerships, also reflects its financial positioning. Access to such arrangements without significant leverage can be viewed positively by capital markets. Overall, Greenland Energy's financial profile may provide the flexibility needed to advance exploration while maintaining optionality for future development or strategic partnerships.Leadership Experience Supports Execution StrategyManagement expertise plays a vital role in assessing early-stage energy companies, particularly those working in frontier regions. Greenland Energy has highlighted the experience of its leadership team in both capital markets and energy investing.Worth noting in this area is the appointment of Joe Moglia, former chairman of TD Ameritrade, to a leadership position within the company. His background in financial markets and corporate governance may provide valuable guidance as the company navigates operational milestones and capital strategy. According to the company, Moglia will contribute to long-term Arctic development strategy, capital markets engagement and regulatory oversight, while also emphasizing environmental and governance considerations.Leadership experience in scaling public companies can be especially key as projects transition from exploration toward development. Companies must manage increasingly complex financial, regulatory and operational demands during this phase.Beyond board-level leadership, the company's extended team members are positioned within the energy investment ecosystem, which may support efforts to secure partnerships, raise capital and navigate industry dynamics. While geology defines the presence of resources, execution ultimately determines their successful development. Greenland Energy's leadership reflects an effort to align expertise with opportunity.Strategic Role in Western Energy SecurityThe wider importance of Greenland Energy's work is closely tied to its geopolitical context. Greenland, as a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, is aligned with western political and economic systems, making it an attractive location for resource development compared with more unstable regions. For both the United States and Europe, obtaining energy resources and supplies from politically stable partners remains a core piece of long-term plans.In addition, Greenland's geographic position provides some logistical benefits. Its proximity to both North America and Europe may support integration into existing infrastructure, potentially reducing transportation dangers that come with distant supply routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.In regards to investment potential, Greenland Energy represents a potential high-reward opportunity linked to one of the most pressing worldwide dilemmas: energy security. The blend of resource scale, geographic positioning and timing places the company within a broader strategic narrative.As the company's drilling plans progress this year, outcomes will be closely monitored. A successful result could not only reshape the company's trajectory but also contribute to broader efforts aimed at strengthening energy independence across Western economies, a goal that has become increasingly urgent.Global Energy Developments Highlight Focus on Supply GrowthGlobal energy markets remain shaped by a combination of geopolitical pressures, long-term demand expectations and the need for reliable supply. In this environment, large-scale oil and gas developments, infrastructure expansion and exploration success continue to play a central role in supporting energy security and stabilizing markets. Recent announcements across the sector underscore how major operators are advancing projects, expanding resource bases and accelerating timelines to bring new supply online.TotalEnergies SE (NYSE: TTE) announced the restart of production at the Mabruk oil field in Libya, marking the return of an asset that had been offline since 2015. The construction of a new production unit with a capacity of 25,000 barrels per day was launched in May 2024; start-up of this new facility occurred on February 28, 2026, less than two years after the project was launched. According to the company, the project brings low-cost, low-emissions oil production in line with the company's strategy, and contributes to TotalEnergies' objective of 3% annual production growth per year until 2030.Hess Corporation, a subsidiary of Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX), has made a final investment decision to proceed with Whiptail, the sixth development on the Stabroek Block. The company has received key government and regulatory approvals for the project. Whiptail is expected to add gross production capacity of approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day by the end of 2027. According to the company, the $12.7 billion Whiptail development will target an estimated resource base of more than 850 million barrels of oil and include up to 10 drill centers and 48 production and injection wells.Equinor ASA (NYSE: EQNR) has made an oil discovery that will be tied into the Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea. The discovery was made in the Polynya Tubåen prospect, and the well was drilled by the COSL Prospector rig. The preliminary volume estimate is between 14 and 24 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalents. "With Johan Castberg, we opened a new oil province in the Barents Sea one year ago," said Grete Birgitte Haaland, area director for Exploration and Production North at Equinor. "It is encouraging that we are now making new discoveries in the area. We plan to drill one to two exploration wells annually in this region going forward to increase the resource base and maintain plateau production for a longer period."Eni Spa ADR (NYSE: E) announced the first gas delivery from the New Gas Consortium (NGC) Quiluma field, a major milestone for Angola's energy sector. Gas will be treated at the NGC gas treatment plant in Soyo, inaugurated in November 2025, and then supplied to the Angola LNG plant for export and domestic consumption.

Energy Security in a Shifting World: Why New Supply Frontiers Matter
NetworkNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Rising geopolitical tensions and renewed disruptions to global shipping lanes, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, are once again underscoring a hard truth for policymakers: Energy security remains deeply fragile. The United States and Europe, despite years of diversification efforts, continue to face exposure to supply shocks that can ripple across economies, industries and households. Against this backdrop, companies working to unlock new, politically stable energy resources are drawing increased attention. One such company is Greenland Energy Company (NASDAQ: GLND) (Profile), which is advancing exploration in Greenland's Jameson Land Basin. With a potentially significant oil resource and plans to drill key wells, the company is positioning itself within a broader narrative: the urgent push toward greater energy independence for Western economies. With its focus on exploration and oil production, Greenland finds itself among an impressive group of companies focused on providing energy independence, including Exxon Mobile Corporation (NYSE: XOM), Shell PLC (NYSE: SHEL), Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) and BP PLC (NYSE: BP).
Greenland Energy Company's core asset lies in the Jameson Land Basin, a region that has long been recognized for its geological potential.
Large-scale oil discoveries have historically reshaped regional and even global energy markets.
One of the distinguishing features of Greenland Energy Company is its capital structure.
Greenland Energy has emphasized its executive team's background in public markets and energy investing.
The broader significance of Greenland Energy's project lies in its geopolitical positioning.
Geopolitics Reinforces Urgency of Energy Independence
Recent instability in the Middle East has renewed focus on the vulnerability of global energy supply chains. The Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world's oil consumption passes, remains one of the most critical chokepoints in global trade. Any disruption in this corridor has historically triggered volatility in oil prices and heightened geopolitical risk.
The importance of reducing reliance on such chokepoints has been emphasized by policymakers across both the United States and Europe. The European Commission, for example, has repeatedly emphasized the need to diversify supply sources and strengthen domestic production capacity following recent energy crises. Similarly, U.S. policy discussions have increasingly focused on reshoring or near-shoring energy supply to reduce exposure to global instability.
Data from the International Energy Agency ("IEA") highlights that while diversification has improved, global oil markets remain interconnected, meaning disruptions anywhere can affect prices everywhere. This interconnectedness reinforces the strategic value of developing new, reliable sources of supply within politically stable regions.
In this context, Greenland Energy Company's efforts to develop significant oil resources in Greenland represent part of a broader shift toward energy independence. By targeting large-scale reserves in a region aligned with Western interests, the company's activities align with the growing urgency to secure long-term, stable energy supplies.
Unlocking the Potential of Jameson Basin
Greenland Energy Company's core asset lies in the Jameson Land Basin, a region that has long been recognized for its geological potential. The basin is estimated to hold up to 13 billion barrels of oil potential, making it one of the more intriguing, underexplored basins worldwide.
The scale of this potential is significant when viewed in a global context. For comparison, discoveries exceeding one billion barrels are typically classified as "giant" fields in the oil industry, underscoring how impactful a multi-billion-barrel basin could be if successfully developed. Geological studies conducted over decades have indicated the presence of favorable source rocks, reservoir structures and trapping mechanisms within the region.
Recent corporate developments suggest that Greenland Energy is actively moving toward unlocking this potential. Last month, the company announced that it had secured drilling capacity through a strategic agreement, positioning it to advance exploration activities. This step is critical, as access to drilling infrastructure remains a key bottleneck in frontier exploration.
Importantly, the company also indicated that after drilling two targeted wells, it will secure rights to 70% of the Jameson Land Basin (two million acres), reinforcing its exposure to the basin's full resource potential. If successful, this could represent a transformational asset with implications not only for the company, but also for broader energy supply dynamics.
Scale Suggests Potential World-Class Discovery
Large-scale oil discoveries have historically reshaped regional and even global energy markets. From the North Sea to offshore Brazil, major finds have altered supply balances, created new economic hubs and reduced reliance on traditional producing regions. The Jameson Land Basin is increasingly being evaluated through this same lens.
Industry coverage has pointed to renewed interest in Greenland's hydrocarbon potential, including agreements tied to drilling and logistics partnerships. These fast-moving developments indicate that exploration momentum in the region is gaining traction with Greenland Energy drilling its first two wells this year.
The classification of a "world-class" discovery typically depends on both scale and recoverability. While exploration risk remains inherent, the estimated size of the Jameson Land Basin places it within a category that, if validated through drilling, could rank among the more significant discoveries in recent decades.
This is particularly relevant given the relative scarcity of large new onshore discoveries in stable jurisdictions. The global oil industry has faced a decline in major discoveries over the past decade, with analysis showing that annual discovered volumes have fallen sharply from early-2010s levels, while the International Energy Agency highlights the growing need for new discoveries to offset accelerating declines in existing fields. This trend has increased the strategic value of frontier basins that still hold large, untapped resources.
In that context, Greenland Energy's exploration program is not just about one project; it represents participation in a broader search for the next generation of large-scale oil supply. The outcome of its drilling efforts could therefore carry implications well beyond the company itself.
Clean Balance Sheet Supports Strategic Flexibility
One of the distinguishing features of Greenland Energy Company is its capital structure. The company looks to have limited leverage based on its recent public filings, which could provide added flexibility as it advances a capital intensive exploration program.
In an industry where exploration and development often require significant upfront investment, companies burdened with high debt levels can face constraints on operational flexibility. A debt-free structure allows management to allocate capital more strategically, particularly during early-stage exploration.
Reports surrounding the company's market positioning indicate an enterprise value in the range of approximately $200 million to $220 million, with market capitalization late-March estimates around $300 million to $345 million, suggesting a valuation that may be modest relative to the scale of the resource it is targeting. This dynamic — large potential resource versus relatively small valuation — often attracts investor attention, especially in early-stage exploration plays.
Additionally, access to strategic agreements, such as drilling capacity partnerships, indicates that the company is actively leveraging its financial position to move projects forward. The ability to secure such agreements without excessive leverage can be viewed as a positive signal in capital markets. Taken together, Greenland Energy's capital structure may provide it with the flexibility needed to advance exploration while preserving optionality for future development or partnerships.
Leadership Experience Anchors Execution Strategy
Leadership experience is often a critical factor in evaluating early-stage energy companies, particularly those operating in frontier regions. Greenland Energy has emphasized its executive team's background in public markets and energy investing.
A notable development includes the appointment of Joe Moglia, former chairman of TD Ameritrade, to a leadership role within the company. Moglia's experience in capital markets and corporate governance may provide strategic guidance as the company navigates both operational and financial milestones. The company noted that Moglia will advise on long-term strategy for Arctic development, capital markets engagement and regulatory stewardship as Greenland Energy pursues opening up a new oil basin while citing environmental and governance priorities.
The involvement of executives with experience in scaling public companies can be particularly important for exploration firms. As projects progress from exploration to potential development, companies must manage financial, regulatory and operational milestones.
In addition to board-level expertise, the company's broader team is positioned within the oil and gas investment ecosystem. This can be advantageous when securing partnerships, raising capital or navigating industry dynamics. Ultimately, while geology determines the presence of resources, execution determines whether those resources are being successfully developed. Greenland Energy's leadership composition suggests an awareness of this balance and an effort to align expertise with opportunity.
Strategic Importance for Western Energy Security
The broader significance of Greenland Energy's project lies in its geopolitical positioning. Greenland, as an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, is aligned with western political and economic systems. This makes it an attractive location for resource development compared to more geopolitically volatile regions.
For the United States and Europe, securing energy supply from politically stable allies is a central component of long-term energy strategy. The European Union, for instance, has emphasized reducing reliance on external suppliers that may pose geopolitical risks.
Greenland's geographic location also offers logistical advantages. Proximity to North America and Europe could facilitate integration into existing energy infrastructure, potentially reducing transportation risks associated with distant supply routes such as the Strait of Hormuz.
From an investment perspective, Greenland Energy presents what some may view as a high-risk, high-reward opportunity tied directly to one of the most pressing global challenges: energy security. The combination of scale, location and timing positions the company within a narrative that extends beyond traditional exploration.
As the company moves forward with its planned drilling program this year, the outcome will be closely watched. Success could not only redefine the company's trajectory but also contribute to a broader shift toward energy independence for Western economies, an objective that has rarely felt more urgent.
Energy's Boldest Bets: The Frontier Rush
The world's largest energy companies are aggressively pursuing frontier exploration, the pursuit of oil and gas in remote, technically challenging and largely untested regions. This signals a powerful conviction that the next great discovery is still out there. For emerging Arctic explorers, that conviction couldn't come at a better time.
Exxon Mobile Corporation (NYSE: XOM) has a century-long Arctic presence and ongoing commitment to the North Slope. The company has explored throughout Alaska including Cook Inlet, the Alaska Peninsula, St. George Basin, Norton Sound, Navarin Basin, Yukon Flats, Beaufort Sea and the North Slope. ExxonMobil is one of the top three producers of oil and the largest holder of discovered gas resources on Alaska's North Slope.
Shell PLC (NYSE: SHEL) has stated that exploration plays a key role at the front end of the company's intent to create more value with less emissions. That exploration is focused on performance, discipline, and simplification across the business. "Our exploration programme supports Shell's target to sustain material liquids production through 2030 and grow total production including gas by around 1% per year to 2030 across our combined Upstream and Integrated Gas businesses."
Chevron Corp. (NYSE: CVX) has been awarded four offshore leases for Greece exploration blocks. The company, via its four Dutch subsidiaries and with HELLENiQ ENERGY, has signed lease agreements with the Hellenic Republic. "We look forward to working with our partners HELLENiQ ENERGY and the Hellenic Republic to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of these frontier areas," said VP of exploration at Chevron Kevin Mclachlan. "With our expertise in developing oil and gas projects worldwide, Chevron has the resources, experience, and technology to advance and unlock new energy supplies in this frontier region."
BP PLC (NYSE: BP) has announced an oil and gas discovery at the Bumerangue prospect in the deepwater offshore Brazil, underscoring the company's push into frontier exploration. "We are excited to announce this significant discovery at Bumerangue, BP's largest in 25 years," said EVP of production and operations Gordon Birrell. According to the announcement, BP drilled an exploration well at the Bumerangue block, located in the Santos Basin, 404 kilometers from Rio de Janeiro, in a water depth of 2,372 meters; the well was drilled to a total depth of 5,855 meters. The company reports that in 2025 alone, it had 12 new discoveries, representative of the company's focus on exploration.
The message from the world's leading energy companies is clear: Frontier exploration is back, and the stakes have never been higher. For those drilling in some of the Arctic's most promising and untested basins, the industry winds are blowing in the right direction.

Chevron Awarded Four Offshore Leases for Greece Exploration BlocksFebruary 16, 2026 7:05 AM
Business Wire
Supports strategy to enhance exploration portfolio and efforts in Mediterranean region
Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX), via its four Dutch subsidiaries, together with HELLENiQ ENERGY has today signed Lease Agreements with the Hellenic Republic which will enable exploration of four blocks offshore Greece.
The blocks are located south of Crete (South Crete 1, South Crete 2) and within the Peloponnese (South of Peloponnese, and Block A2). The awarded consortium, in which Chevron holds a 70% operating interest and HELLENiQ ENERGY a 30% interest, was selected following an international call for tender launched by the Greek government in 2025.
“This is another important milestone for Chevron as we continue building momentum in the Mediterranean region, an area where we already have a significant position and are actively pursuing exploration opportunities to further strengthen and expand our portfolio,” said Kevin McLachlan, Vice President of Exploration at Chevron.
“We look forward to working with our partners HELLENiQ ENERGY and the Hellenic Republic to evaluate the hydrocarbon potential of these frontier areas. With our expertise in developing oil and gas projects worldwide, Chevron has the resources, experience, and technology to advance and unlock new energy supplies in this frontier region.”
Under the terms of the Lease Agreements, the consortium will complete 2D and 3D seismic exploration work programs in phase one of the leases, to assess the hydrocarbon potential of the areas.
The Lease Agreements are now subject to ratification by the Greek Parliament.
Chevron’s assets in the Mediterranean region include two gas producing fields (offshore Israel), and the Aphrodite gas field which is currently in development (offshore Cyprus). In Egypt, Chevron is the operator of two Egyptian exploration blocks and is in a non-operated joint venture in the Mediterranean Sea.
On February 11, 2026, Chevron was the winning bidder for onshore block S4 in Libya. This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Libya to evaluate the development and exploration potential onshore Libya. Also in February, Chevron was awarded MoUs with Turkey and Syria to evaluate opportunities.
Chevron’s Dutch subsidiaries are (“Chevron Greece Holdings (A2) B.V”., “Chevron Greece Holdings (S Peloponnese) B.V.”, “Chevron Greece Holdings (S Crete 1) B.V.” and “Chevron Greece Holdings (S Crete 2) B.V.”).

Chevron Enters Libya With New Block Award as Part of Broader Exploration Growth StrategyFebruary 11, 2026 9:15 AM
Business Wire
Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) by its subsidiary Chevron Business Development EMEA Ltd., has entered Libya after it was designated as a winning bidder in the 2025 Libyan Bid Round. This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the country’s National Oil Corporation (NOC).
Chevron was designated as the winning bidder for Contract Area 106 located in the Sirte Basin on February 11, 2026 in Libya’s 2025 Bidding Round. On January 24, 2026 Chevron separately signed an MoU with NOC in Tripoli to evaluate the development and exploration potential onshore Libya.
“Chevron is excited to enter Libya with the award of onshore Contract Area 106, which underscores our focus on North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean region, and is a good fit in our exploration strategy to grow our portfolio with high-quality acreage and high impact prospects,” said Kevin McLachlan, Vice President of Exploration at Chevron.
“Libya has significant proven oil reserves and a long history of producing its resources. Chevron is confident that its proven track record in developing oil and gas projects and its technical expertise gives it the ability to support Libya to further develop its resources.”
The award of the Contract Area is subject to the execution of a Production Sharing Agreement.
“Chevron looks forward to our partnership with NOC and other key stakeholders in Libya. The Contract Area award and MoU are important milestones as we continue to evaluate opportunities to support Libya’s energy sector,” said Frank Mount, President of Corporate Business Development.
Chevron has a diverse exploration and production portfolio in the Mediterranean and Africa and continues to assess potential future opportunities in the region. Chevron is one of the largest producers and acreage holders in Nigeria, Angola and Equatorial Guinea. It has two exploration blocks each in Namibia and Guinea-Bissau, and three exploration blocks in Egypt. In February, Chevron also signed an MoU in Syria.

“2025 was a year of significant achievement. We successfully integrated Hess, started-up major projects, delivered record production and reorganized our business. This resulted in industry-leading free cash flow growth and superior shareholder returns, despite declining oil prices,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer.
After integrating Hess Corporation (Hess), the company quickly delivered on its initial $1 billion synergy target. In Kazakhstan, the company’s 50 percent owned affiliate, Tengizchevroil (TCO), started up the Future Growth Project. In the U.S., several major projects achieved first oil in the Gulf of America, and the Permian Basin delivered on its production target of 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. The company also continued to advance new energies opportunities in power, lithium and hydrogen and achieved structural cost reductions of $1.5 billion in 2025. This enabled the company to grow its production to record levels and generate the highest cash flow from operations in the company’s history at similar commodity prices, and positions the company to increase its annual dividend payout per share for the 39th consecutive year.
As developments progress in Venezuela, Chevron continues to engage with the U.S. and Venezuelan governments to advance shared energy goals. “We have been a part of Venezuela’s past for more than a century. We remain committed to its present. And we stand ready to help it build a better future while strengthening U.S. energy and regional security,” Wirth concluded.

Financial Highlights
Reported earnings decreased in 2025 compared to last year primarily due to lower crude oil prices, lower affiliate earnings and unfavorable foreign currency effects, partly offset by higher margins on refined product sales, impact from higher sales volumes and lower severance charges.
Worldwide and U.S. net oil-equivalent production set annual records. For 2025, the Hess acquisition contributed 261 MBOED, while legacy Chevron operations added another 124 MBOED, driven by growth in the Permian Basin and project ramp-ups at TCO and in the Gulf of America.
Year-end 2025 proved reserves were approximately 10.6 billion barrels of net oil-equivalent, subject to final review. The largest additions were from the acquisition of Hess and extensions and discoveries in shale and tight assets in the Permian Basin, and project approvals in Australia and Guyana. The one-year reserve replacement ratio was 158 percent.
Capex in 2025 was higher than last year largely due to spend on legacy Hess assets post-acquisition and increased investments in U.S. data center power solutions more than offsetting lower spend in downstream. Affiliate capex was down primarily due to lower spend at TCO.
Cash flow from operations in 2025 was higher than a year ago as higher cash distributions from TCO and contributions from legacy Hess assets more than offset the impact of lower commodity prices. Adjusted free cash flow includes asset sale proceeds of $1.8 billion and net loan repayments from equity affiliates of $0.8 billion.
The company returned $27.1 billion of cash to shareholders during the year, including share repurchases of $12.1 billion, dividends of $12.8 billion, and $2.2 billion of Hess share purchases in early 2025.
The company’s Board of Directors declared a 4 percent increase in the quarterly dividend to one dollar and seventy-eight cents ($1.78) per share, payable March 10, 2026, to all holders of common stock as shown on the transfer records of the corporation at the close of business on February 17, 2026.
Business Highlights and Milestones

U.S. upstream earnings were lower than the year-ago period primarily due to lower liquids realizations, partly offset by the impact of higher sales volumes and the absence of prior year severance charges.
U.S. net oil-equivalent production during the quarter was up 409,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period primarily due to the acquisition of Hess and higher production in the Gulf of America following the start-up of major deepwater projects, and growth in the Permian Basin.

International upstream earnings were lower than a year ago primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency effects largely in Australia, lower affiliate earnings, and lower realizations, partly offset by earnings from legacy Hess, primarily Guyana, and lower operating expenses in part due to the absence of prior-year severance charges.
Net oil-equivalent production during the quarter was up 286,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period primarily due to the acquisition of Hess and higher production at TCO, partly offset by impacts from asset sales in Canada and the Republic of Congo.

U.S. downstream earnings were higher than the year-ago period primarily due to lower operating expenses, in part due to the absence of prior-year severance charges, higher margins on refined product sales, and lower impairments.
Refinery crude unit inputs increased 14 percent from the year-ago period primarily due to the continued ramp-up of the Light Tight Oil project along with higher reliability at the Pasadena, Texas refinery.
Refined product sales increased 3 percent compared to the year-ago period due to higher demand for jet fuel.

All Other consists of worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, and technology companies.
Net charges increased compared to a year ago primarily due to higher corporate tax costs, interest expense, and pension settlement costs, partly offset by the absence of prior-year severance charges.

NOTICE
Chevron’s discussion of fourth quarter 2025 earnings with security analysts will take place on Friday, January 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CT. A webcast of the meeting will be available in a listen-only mode to individual investors, media, and other interested parties on Chevron’s website at www.chevron.com under the “Investors” section. Prepared remarks for today’s call, additional financial and operating information and other complementary materials will be available prior to the call at approximately 5:30 a.m. CT and located under “Events and Presentations” in the “Investors” section on the Chevron website. Chevron also publishes a “Sensitivities and Forward Guidance” document with consolidated guidance and sensitivities that is updated quarterly and posted to the Chevron website the month prior to earnings calls.
As used in this news release, the term “Chevron” and such terms as “the company,” “the corporation,” “our,” “we,” “us” and “its” may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them taken as a whole. All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs. Structural cost reductions describe decreases in operating expenses from operational efficiencies, divestments, and other cost saving measures that are expected to be sustainable compared with 2024 levels.
Please visit Chevron’s website and Investor Relations page at www.chevron.com and www.chevron.com/investors, LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/chevron, X: @Chevron, Facebook: www.facebook.com/chevron, and Instagram: www.instagram.com/chevron, where Chevron often discloses important information about the company, its business, and its results of operations.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures - This news release includes adjusted earnings/(loss), which reflect earnings or losses excluding significant non-operational items including impairment charges, write-offs, decommissioning obligations from previously sold assets, severance costs, gains on asset sales, legal reserves for ceased operations, fair value adjustments for investments in equity securities, unusual tax items, effects of pension settlements and curtailments, foreign currency effects and other special items. We believe it is useful for investors to consider this measure in comparing the underlying performance of our business across periods. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation to net income (loss) attributable to Chevron Corporation is shown in Attachment 4.
This news release also includes cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow. Cash flow from operations excluding working capital is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net changes in operating working capital, and represents cash generated by operating activities excluding the timing impacts of working capital. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as free cash flow excluding working capital plus proceeds and deposits related to asset sales and returns of investments plus net repayment (borrowing) of loans by equity affiliates and generally represents the cash available to creditors and investors after investing in the business excluding the timing impacts of working capital. The company believes these measures are useful to monitor the financial health of the company and its performance over time. Reconciliations of cash flow from operations excluding working capital, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are shown in Attachment 3.
This news release also includes net debt ratio and net debt-to-CFFO ratio. Net debt ratio is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents, time deposits and marketable securities (net debt) as a percentage of net debt plus Chevron Corporation stockholders’ equity, which indicates the company’s leverage, net of its cash balances. The net debt-to-CFFO ratio is defined as net debt divided by CFFO for the prior four quarters, which measures the company’s ability to cover its net debt using the cash it generates from operations. The company believes these measures are useful to monitor the strength of the company’s balance sheet. A reconciliation of net debt ratio and net debt-to-CFFO ratio is shown in Attachment 2.

This news release contains forward-looking statements relating to Chevron’s operations, assets and strategy that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, and projections about the petroleum, chemicals, and other energy-related industries. Words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “advances,” “commits,” “drives,” “aims,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “believes,” “approaches,” “seeks,” “schedules,” “estimates,” “positions,” “pursues,” “progress,” “design,” “enable,” “may,” “can,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “budgets,” “outlook,” “trends,” “guidance,” “focus,” “on track,” “trajectory,” “goals,” “objectives,” “strategies,” “opportunities,” “poised,” “potential,” “ambitions,” “future,” “aspires” and similar expressions, and variations or negatives of these words, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but not all forward-looking statements include such words. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the company’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this news release. Unless legally required, Chevron undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changing crude oil and natural gas prices and demand for the company’s products, and production curtailments due to market conditions; crude oil production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries; technological advancements; changes to government policies in the countries in which the company operates; public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, and any related government policies and actions; disruptions in the company’s global supply chain, including supply chain constraints and escalation of the cost of goods and services; changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which the company operates, including Venezuela; general domestic and international economic, market and political conditions, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict in the Middle East and the global response to these hostilities; changing refining, marketing and chemicals margins; the company’s ability to realize anticipated cost savings and efficiencies associated with enterprise structural cost reduction initiatives; actions of competitors or regulators; timing of exploration expenses; changes in projected future cash flows; timing of crude oil liftings; uncertainties about the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves; the competitiveness of alternate-energy sources or product substitutes; pace and scale of the development of large carbon capture and offset markets; the results of operations and financial condition of the company’s suppliers, vendors, partners and equity affiliates; the inability or failure of the company’s joint-venture partners to fund their share of operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude oil and natural gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of the company’s operations due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, severe weather, cyber threats, terrorist acts, or other natural or human causes beyond the company’s control; the potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant operational, investment or product changes undertaken or required by existing or future environmental statutes and regulations, including international agreements and national or regional legislation and regulatory measures related to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change; the potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; the company’s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquisition of Hess Corporation; the company’s future acquisitions or dispositions of assets or shares or the delay or failure of such transactions to close based on required closing conditions; the potential for gains and losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, taxes and tax audits, tariffs, sanctions, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on scope of company operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; higher inflation and related impacts; material reductions in corporate liquidity and access to debt markets; changes to the company’s capital allocation strategies; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies; the company’s ability to identify and mitigate the risks and hazards inherent in operating in the global energy industry; and the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” on pages 20 through 27 of the company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Other unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this news release could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.
