Chevron Prioritizes Gas Sales Over LNG Plant Investment: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Lekha Gupta
Chevron Corporation has decided not to invest in Woodside Energy's Driftwood LNG project, opting instead to sell its U.S. gas directly. This aligns with Chevron's strategy to focus on upstream and downstream investments rather than midstream infrastructure. The company has long-term LNG agreements with Cheniere Energy and is converting engines on LNG carriers to reduce emissions. Chevron's shares are slightly up, and investors can gain exposure through ETFs like DRLL and XLE.
