Chevron plans $7B investment to double Venezuelan oil output at low cost, posts strong Q2 results.

Chevron Corporation announced a $7 billion investment to expand its Venezuelan joint venture, aiming to more than double oil production to 600,000 barrels per day at costs under $20 per barrel. The company reported strong Q2 results with $6.06 non-GAAP EPS, $70 billion revenue up 56% year-over-year, record U.S. upstream output, and $15.4 billion adjusted free cash flow. Chevron targets steady production growth and improved returns through disciplined capital allocation and a high dividend yield by 2030. This expansion and solid financial performance support a bullish outlook and a reiterated buy rating on Chevron stock.
