Oil giant Chevron Corp (NYSE:CVX) shares are trading slightly lower after the company reported second-quarter 2024 results. Revenues and other income of $51.181 billion beat the consensus of $50.795 billion.  Worldwide net oil-equivalent production rose to 3,292 MBOED from 2,959 MBOED a year ago, driven by the successful integration of PDC Energy and strong performance in the Permian and Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basins. Chevron also secured agreements in Namibia, Brazil, Equatorial Guinea, and Angola to expand its global exploration acreage. Adjusted net earnings were $4.68 billion, with adjusted EPS being $2.55 (down from $3.08 YoY) in the quarter, missing the consensus of $2.93. Second-quarter earnings decreased due to reduced margins on refined product sales, the lack of favorable tax items from the previous year, and adverse foreign currency impacts.
