Chevron: Energy Addition, Not Swap

About this episode
Chevrons CEO, Mike Wirth, emphasizes the urgent need for increased energy supply, not a complete overhaul. With population growth, AI advancements, and dwindling old fields, demand is soaring. Chevron advocates for more oil, gas, and innovative tech to meet this surge. They warn of a potential shortfall, equivalent to losing five Saudi Arabias of production in the next decade. Their solution? Energy addition, focusing on supply to maintain market stability. Chevron is heavily investing in AI for efficiency, predicting well performance before drilling. However, AIs high power demand is straining grids and renewables. Chevron is betting on natural gas, particularly U.S. resources, to fuel data centers. They prioritize security and affordability amid global instability, while still considering lower-carbon options if they prove cost-effective and reliable.
