Oil prices jump on Iran unrest as Exxon stock slips premarket; Venezuela barrels in focus

Chevron stock (CVX) heads into Monday with Venezuela output boost in spotlight

Chevron stock (CVX) heads into Monday with Venezuela output boost in spotlight

Chevron shares rose 1.8% on Friday, closing at $162.11, as investors digested the company’s assertion that it can quickly boost production in Venezuela. At a White House meeting, Vice Chairman Mark Nelson pointed to Chevron’s century-long presence in Venezuela and its unique position as the only U.S. oil major still active there. He claimed Chevron could immediately double crude “liftings” — the volumes loaded for sale — from its joint ventures with PDVSA, the Venezuelan state oil firm. Nelson added, “We are also able to increase our production within our own disciplined investment schemes by about 50% just in the next 18 to 24 months.”
