Oil prices rise on Iran, Venezuela worries; Exxon and Chevron stocks jump premarket

Exxon Mobil rose 3.7% and Chevron gained 2.6% in U.S. premarket trading Friday, tracking higher crude prices.

Exxon warned lower oil prices could cut Q4 upstream earnings by up to $1.2 billion.

SLB shares rose about 1% in U.S. premarket trading Friday, after closing up 4.9% at $44.43, as the White House readies talks with oil firms on Venezuela.

Halliburton stock jumps nearly 8% on Venezuela jolt as oil-services rally takes hold

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 20:46 EST — Market closed Halliburton Co (HAL.N) shares jumped 7.9% on Monday to $31.92, after touching a session high of $33.33. SLB (SLB.N) added 9.0% and Baker Hughes (BKR.O) rose 4.1%, while the VanEck Oil Services ETF gained 5.2%. The gains followed a sharp move across energy names after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, lifting expectations that Washington’s action could open a path for U.S. firms to re-engage with Venezuela’s oil sector. The Trump administration plans to meet with executives from U.S. oil companies later this week to discuss boosting Venezuelan production,

SLB stock jumps 9% on Venezuela upheaval; traders eye White House talks and Jan. 23 earnings

New York, January 5, 2026, 18:26 EST — After-hours SLB Ltd (NYSE:SLB) shares jumped nearly 9% on Monday, riding a broad rally in energy stocks tied to fast-moving developments in Venezuela. The move matters because oilfield services companies tend to be first in line when producers start planning new drilling, well work and field repairs — the kind of spending needed to restart a long-neglected basin. Investors also latched onto the idea that U.S. policy shifts could eventually reopen a large oil province to outside capital, even if the path is messy and slow.

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 09:52 EST SLB shares jumped about 8% in early New York trading on Monday, tracking a sharp rally across oilfield-services stocks. The shares were up $3.25 at $43.45 at 9:40 a.m. ET, while Halliburton gained about 7.5% and Baker Hughes rose about 4.7%. The move followed President Donald Trump’s comments that the United States would take control of Venezuela after the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro, stoking bets that U.S. companies may eventually help rebuild the country’s oil industry. Reuters reported that oilfield-services firms, whose technology would be needed to lift output, were among the

Chevron stock jumps as Trump targets Venezuela oil; refiners, drillers gain before the bell

New York, Jan 5, 2026, 09:23 EST — Premarket Chevron shares rose in premarket trading on Monday as U.S. energy stocks reacted to President Donald Trump’s latest comments on Venezuela, raising expectations that American companies could gain access to the country’s vast crude reserves. The move matters because Venezuela holds the world’s largest oil reserves, yet years of mismanagement, underinvestment and U.S. sanctions have left output far below past levels. Any policy shift that accelerates investment could reshape crude flows over time and alter the economics for refiners that rely on heavy feedstocks. Oil prices were little changed, underscoring how

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 07:33 ET SLB shares rose 8.5% to $43.60 in premarket trading on Monday, before the regular U.S. session opens.

Public The move underscores how quickly geopolitics can reprice expectations for drilling and well work.

Halliburton stock rises nearly 5% premarket as Venezuela oil rebuild talk lifts service names

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:40 ET — Premarket Halliburton (HAL.N) shares were up 4.7% at $29.60 in premarket trading on Monday, as oilfield services stocks climbed after weekend developments in Venezuela put future drilling and well-work demand back in focus. The move matters now because any push to restart and expand Venezuelan oil output would require oilfield services — the rigs, crews and equipment that drill wells and complete them, the work that readies a well to start producing. Halliburton is one of the largest suppliers of those services. The rally comes as crude prices sit near $60 and

NEW YORK, Jan 5, 2026, 04:31 ET — Premarket SLB shares were indicated around $40.20 in premarket trading on Monday, little changed from Friday’s close, as a dip in oil prices kept the energy complex on edge ahead of the U.S. open. Yahoo Finance That matters now because SLB, the world’s biggest oilfield services provider, tends to move with expectations for drilling and well-completion activity. Those expectations can shift quickly when crude prices swing, since producers often adjust budgets when prices weaken.

Energy stocks face a Monday test after OPEC+ holds output, oil near $61

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 13:55 ET — Market closed OPEC+ kept oil output unchanged on Sunday after a brief meeting, reaffirming a plan by eight key members to pause production increases — meaning no additional barrels — through March, the group said. It will meet again on Feb. 1, as the oil market digests political shocks from Yemen to Venezuela. “Right now, oil markets are being driven less by supply–demand fundamentals and more by political uncertainty,” said Jorge Leon, head of geopolitical analysis at Rystad Energy.

NEW YORK, Jan 3, 2026, 07:06 ET — Market closed U.S. forces struck Venezuela overnight and captured President Nicolas Maduro, President Donald Trump said on Saturday, setting up a volatile open for U.S. energy stocks when Wall Street returns on Monday. MST Marquee analyst Saul Kavonic said oil prices were “likely to jump on the near-term risk to supply.” Reuters Energy shares tend to move with crude because oil and gas prices drive producer cash flow and, in turn, dividends and buybacks.

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 1:54 PM ET — Market closed Energy stocks ended 2025 weaker, tracking a late-year slide in crude that left oil prices with their steepest annual drop since 2020. U.S. markets are shut on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors to recalibrate positions ahead of Friday’s reopening. Reuters+1 The timing matters because many energy shares still trade as a proxy for oil.

NEW YORK — December 16, 2025 (early afternoon ET): U.S. energy stocks are under pressure in Tuesday’s session as crude oil breaks to fresh multi-year lows, dragging down the sector’s biggest names—integrated majors, shale producers, and oilfield services—while refiners also slump as fuel prices weaken.
