However, Chevron noted that the financial results announced Sunday do not represent a comprehensive statement of second-quarter results, and said it will release its full earnings numbers for the second quarter on Friday, July 28th.
Chevron said it issued a record dividend of $7.2 billion to shareholders in the most recent quarter, including a dividend of $2.8 billion and share repurchases of $4.4 billion.
Chevron also produced 772,000 barrels of oil equivalent in the Permian Basin, another record quarter. The company said Permian’s early 2023 performance for assets under management is on track with its guidance for the full year.
