• Chevron has resumed gas production at the Leviathan field after a security related shutdown.
• The company is also close to a deal with Venezuela to increase oil output in the country.

For investors watching NYSE:CVX, these operational updates come with the stock trading around $201.54 and a return of 29.3% year to date. Over the past year, Chevron shares have returned 53.8%, and over five years 142.8%. This performance highlights how closely the market tracks its large upstream projects and access to resource rich regions.

Leviathan’s restart reflects Chevron’s role in supplying gas to the Middle East and Europe. A potential Venezuela agreement would expand its oil footprint in a sanctions sensitive market. Together, these developments may influence the company’s production mix and regional exposure, which is useful context when assessing NYSE:CVX within a broader energy portfolio.

Key Considerations

• 📊 Leviathan coming back online and a potential Venezuela deal both support Chevron's access to gas and oil volumes across key regions.
• 📊 Watch how any updated production guidance, capex plans and realised prices flow through to earnings and the current P/E of 32.70 versus the Oil and Gas average of 15.66.
• ⚠️ The dividend yield of 3.53% is flagged as not well covered by earnings, so payout sustainability is important if cash flows from these projects vary.
