Chevron stock rises on report U.S. may widen Venezuela license as earnings near
Chevron Corp shares climbed 2.1% to $167.24 in after-hours trading Wednesday following a Reuters report that the U.S. is set to broaden the oil giant’s Venezuela license this week. The expanded waiver could allow Chevron to boost production and exports from its joint ventures, which now stand at roughly 240,000 barrels per day, and might also enable trading some crude from state-owned PDVSA, according to three sources in the oil industry.
