Chevron reported third-quarter earnings of $9.9 billion, or $5.06 per diluted share, as U.S. production and refinery throughput strengthened. Adjusted earnings reached $10.4 billion, or $5.28 per share.
Earnings and Operating Performance
The quarter included a $160 million legal reserve, a $110 million impairment and $24 million in pension settlement costs. Foreign-currency effects reduced earnings by $143 million, according to Chevron.
Production and Refining Reach New Levels
Chevron said U.S. production increased 27% from two years earlier. Its U.S. refineries processed a record volume of crude and operated at 98% utilization during the quarter.
The company also highlighted expanded acreage in Venezuela and changes intended to improve Bakken competitiveness. Energy-sector readers can compare the figures with ExxonMobil’s cash-flow results and Forum Energy’s raised outlook.
