The second-largest U.S. oil firm also reported preliminary second-quarter earnings results. Net profit fell to $5.8 billion, or $3.08 a share. It was not immediately clear how that compared with analysts’ estimates.
Chevron noted, however, that the financial results reported Sunday don’t represent a comprehensive statement of its second-quarter results and said it will issue its complete second-quarter earnings figures on Friday, July 28.
Chevron said it issued record shareholder distributions of $7.2 billion in the latest quarter, including dividends of $2.8 billion and share repurchases of $4.4 billion.
Chevron also produced 772,000 barrels of oil equivalent at the Permian Basin, another record quarter. The company said that early 2023 Permian well performance in company-operated assets is on track with its full-year guidance.
