Chevron Corp. said it was lowering its capital spending outlook
by another $2 billion and said it expects a $1 billion drop in
operating expenses this year.
Chevron, which recently cut its capital spending by 20%, is now
guiding for $14 billion in capital expenditures for 2020.
The oil company, like the rest of the energy business, has had
to grapple with a dive in the price of crude in the first quarter,
which fell to around $20 a barrel at quarter's end, down more than
$40 from three months earlier, according to Dow Jones Market
Data.
Oil companies have been sandwiched between two major headwinds:
The industry has been producing too much oil and is doing so during
a time when consumers aren't needing as much gas to travel by car
or plane because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Chevron said Friday that "financial results in future periods
are expected to be depressed as long as current market conditions
persist."
The oil company's net income was $3.6 billion, rising 36% from a
year earlier. Chevron's earnings broke out to $1.93 a share, up
from $1.39 a share a year ago and more than analysts' consensus
from FactSet of 63 cents a share.
Revenue was $31.5 billion, topping the analyst consensus of
$29.14 billion, but slipping 11% from a year ago.
Production was 3.24 million barrels of oil-equivalent a day, the
company said. That rose from 3.04 million a day a year earlier.
Analysts expected 2.77 million.
