Chevron Finds Offshore Angola Oil, Could Tie into Block 0 Infrastructure

Chevron reports a new offshore oil and gas condensate discovery from the 105-4X well in Angola’s Block 0, with over 300 feet of net pay in the Pinda reservoir and described reservoir quality as excellent; the company is evaluating tying the discovery into existing Block 0 facilities rather than a standalone project, potentially reducing capex and speeding production. Block 0 stake holders are Chevron's Cabinda Gulf Oil Company (39.2%), Sonangol E&P (41%), TotalEnergies (10%), and Azule Energy (9.8%). The find follows Chevron’s recent Angola activity and leverages established infrastructure to monetize future discoveries more quickly.

US oil majors chart new Iraqi export routes to bypass Hormuz

U.S. oil companies signed roughly $60 billion in deals with Iraq to develop alternative oil-export routes, including a Basra–Haditha–Ceyhan/Syria corridor and other pipeline projects, in a bid to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz. Chevron led several agreements to boost production and invest in pipelines. Goldman Sachs estimates regional pipelines could eventually move up to about 14 million barrels per day by 2028, potentially serving a large share of Hormuz traffic, though timelines are measured in years; oil markets have risen on tensions with Iran, with WTI around $88 a barrel after earlier spikes.

Chevron CFO: Gas Prices to Fall Slowly Amid Trump Pressure

Chevron’s chief financial officer, Eimear Bonner, said U.S. gasoline prices are likely to decline gradually as crude oil prices ease and Middle East tensions stabilize, noting a lag between oil costs and pump prices and signaling planned production growth of 7–10% this year. The remarks come as President Trump pushes an investigation into big oil for not lowering pump prices quickly enough, arguing prices should be closer to $2.25 per gallon. With the national average around $3.92/gal and crude futures easing, analysts say price declines typically take weeks due to taxes, refining and distribution costs, and market lag.
