Disappointing production news in the 1Q23 earnings report. It has fallen and we are back under 3 million BOEPD. Terrible. Apparently Permian growth it not what was hoped. Royalty production is now forecast to be flat all year. Gads.

what is the word on the street? BB has been in the role for a decade. its probably time for change. none of the GMs are obvious replacements like he was 10 years ago. MW and EB going external with the next one? or random business leader like... — read more 

Been hearing that a PSG realignment is now onto voting from big Mike. What do you guys think? Should it be approved? Will this finally make us equal to our upstream and midstream folks?

Does anyone have any experience on working at Richmond CTC? How’s the morale and work life balance ?

News today is a 70% reduction in our space and staff in San Ramone. ChevPark is ancient history. It will be renamed The Orchards because it was a bunch of pickle orchards originally. I guess Chevron Way will be renamed Dill Drive. No more... — read more 

Seems anything that is real but uncomfortable for the company is shut down on layoffs.com. Time to go elsewhere???

I'm less than thrilled that we're transitioning our Vanguard funds to BlackRock, who mandates the "current thing", aka ESG to companies their invested in, and overemphasizes ESG scores vs. profit in the funds they offer.

Mike Wirth gets a 10% raise: I guess his compensation does not depend on safety performance like the rest of us.

I heard Richmond refinery is bleeding talent due to the strike. Also, Rule 65 is coming for the refineries in the east bay area. Will richmond end up being sold to another company like Shell Martinez was sold to pbf? What will happen to the Richmond... — read more 

Given the high level of one-team behavior demonstrated by Chevron HR it’s only inevitable that our our stock price is about to skyrocket. The only question is how high?

CVX trading at $60 during the pandemic was unreasonable, but it is also irrational to pay more that $100 a share given Chevron’s annual gross profits. As the economy slows I expect Chevron to drop to a more reasonable valuation (maybe $70-90 per... — read more

Why do we continue to support the American Petroleum Institute? They espouse such id--tic nonsense that makes the whole industry look stupid. Lately they have been railing against electric vehicles. Such fools. How much do we pay them every year?
