Chevron Raised Expenditures On Expansion Projects
Chevron Corp. on Tuesday raised its cost targets for seven projects by $3.8 billion
US oil giant Chevron on Tuesday raised its cost targets for seven projects by $3.8 billion and indefinitely delayed two others amid record prices for energy services and equipment, the company said.
The increases bring estimated costs for the projects to $23 billion, up 20% from previous projections, Chief Executive David O'Reilly told analysts in New York. The company dropped target dates for beginning output at liquefied natural gas projects in Australia and Nigeria.
