Chevron stock ticks up as Leviathan gas expansion, Venezuela swing keep CVX in focus

New York, January 16, 2026, 13:47 EST — Regular session Chevron shares edged up 0.4% to $166.88 around midday, underperforming Exxon Mobil, which climbed 0.6%. ConocoPhillips, meanwhile, dropped 1.2%. Investors are balancing two factors: significant gas expansion beyond the U.S. and short-term doubts over Venezuela’s output, which could impact refining on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Chevron and its partners gave the green light Friday to expand Israel’s Leviathan gas field, aiming to boost output by around 9 billion cubic metres annually, pushing total deliveries to about 21 bcm. NewMed Energy, a partner in the project, pegged the investment cost at

Consumers Energy’s $5 million bill-relief push hits Michigan as its foundation backs Fresh Start Kits for rehousing

JACKSON, Michigan, Jan 16, 2026, 07:05 EST Consumers Energy is putting $5 million toward helping Michigan customers handle their energy bills.

Antero Resources stock nudges higher as EIA storage draw comes up light and gas market steadies

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 13:29 EST — Regular session Antero Resources climbed roughly 1.3% to $32.36 Thursday afternoon, mirroring a firmer tone in U.S. natural gas and a wider lift across gas-related stocks. EQT and Range Resources also gained ground, with LNG exporter Cheniere Energy up around 1.2%. The stock’s trajectory remains tied to the commodity. U.S. gas prices have been rocked by changing weather forecasts and volatile demand from LNG export facilities, which rely on pipeline gas as feedstock for liquefaction. The Energy Information Administration said working gas in storage stood at 3,185 billion cubic feet for the

Shell stock in focus: scrapped UK gas sale, sliding oil and buyback pace before London open

London, Jan 15, 2026, 07:12 GMT — Premarket Shares of Shell Plc opened Thursday in London after the company and Exxon Mobil pulled out of a planned sale of their UK Southern North Sea gas assets to Viaro Energy, citing changing commercial and market conditions.

Viaro CEO Francesco Mazzagatti said the deal was “fully funded” before both parties decided to halt the transaction.

Cheniere Energy stock jumps after Wolfe upgrade as U.S. natural gas futures slide

Cheniere Energy stock jumps after Wolfe upgrade as U.S. natural gas futures slide

New York, January 14, 2026, 17:28 EST — After-hours Cheniere Energy shares climbed on Wednesday after Wolfe Research upgraded the liquefied natural gas exporter, with the stock last up 3.2% at $199.72 after the bell. Cheniere Energy Partners, the listed partnership that owns the Sabine Pass LNG plant, was up 1.9%. The move matters because investors have been trying to separate the gas price tape from the export story. LNG — natural gas cooled into liquid for shipping — has tied U.S. gas flows to overseas demand in a way that can swing both futures and the stocks. Wednesday was

EQT slides as U.S. natural gas futures sink on LNG feedgas drop

New York, January 14, 2026, 14:11 EST — Regular session EQT Corp shares dropped roughly 3% Wednesday, dragged down by falling U.S. natural gas prices. The move weighed on the broader sector as the largest U.S. natural gas producer took a hit. This month, gas-linked stocks have been tossed about by shifting winter forecasts and volatile liquefied natural gas demand. When feedgas—the volume of gas entering LNG plants—falls, price expectations often take a quick hit, dragging producers’ shares along with the front-month contract. EQT dropped roughly 3.0% to $50.03 in afternoon trading. Antero Resources slipped around 1.9%, and Range Resources

Chevron stock climbs as Black Sea tanker attacks jolt oil-risk trade for CVX

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 12:14 EST — Regular session Shares of Chevron Corp climbed almost 2% on Wednesday, bucking the broader market’s decline. Traders favored energy stocks following new drone strikes in the Black Sea, which rattled crude supply lines. Chevron traded up 1.9% to $167.01 by midday. Kazakhstan called on the United States and Europe to step up efforts to secure oil shipments after drones targeted tankers bound for the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s (CPC) marine terminal on Russia’s Black Sea coast. The route handles about 1% of the world’s oil supply. CPC moves around 80% of Kazakhstan’s oil

BP stock slides on $5 billion clean-energy write-down warning as oil prices climb

London, January 14, 2026, 11:45 GMT — Regular session BP shares fell on Wednesday after the oil major warned of up to $5 billion in impairments linked to its low-carbon businesses and flagged weak oil trading into year-end. The stock was down 1.6% by mid-morning in London. (Reuters) The update lands at an awkward moment for European energy stocks. Investors have been leaning harder on cash flow and debt reduction after a year of softer crude prices, while boards keep tinkering with the balance between oil spending and transition bets. It also lands with oil prices lurching again on geopolitics.
