NgokukaMark Nelson, uMphakathi weChevron, inkampani ihlela ukunciphisa inani lezingxenye zebhizinisi eziphezulu ukusuka ku-18–20 eminyakeni embalwa edlule kuya ku-3–5 kuphela.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ekuqaleni konyaka, iChevron imemezele izinhlelo zokumba eNamibia, yatshala imali ekuhloleni eNigeria nase-Angola, futhi ngenyanga edlule yaqinisekisa amalungelo okuhlola ezindaweni eziyisishiyagalolunye ezisemanzini emfuleni i-Amazon eBrazil.
Ngokuhlanza imisebenzi nokwenza kube lula ukusebenza, iChevron ibhujiswa ngokuhambisana nokusheshisa ukuhlola nokuthuthukiswa—ukushintsha kwesu okukhombisa incwadi entsha yokuphila embonini yamandla ezikhathini ezinzima.
Cost-cutting to address investor pressure
Chevron's current strategic restructuring's core objectives is to achieve up to $3 billion in cost reductions by 2026. This target is driven by profound industry trends and market forces.

Under such market pressures, Chevron's stock performance faces significant challenges. Currently, energy stocks account for just 3.1% of the S&P 500 index - less than half their weighting from a decade ago. In July, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record closing highs, energy stocks declined across the board: ExxonMobil and Occidental Petroleum fell over 1%, while Schlumberger, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips all weakened.
Chevron Vice Chairman Mark Nelson stated unequivocally in a Bloomberg interview: "If we want to remain competitive and stay as an investment option in the market, we must continuously improve efficiency and find new, better ways of working." To achieve this goal, Chevron has not only implemented deep structural reforms to its business operations but has also undertaken large-scale workforce reductions.
Ngomhlaka Februwari kulo nyaka, iChevron imemezele izinhlelo zokunciphisa abasebenzi bayo emhlabeni jikelele ngaphezu kuka-20%, okungase kuthinte abasebenzi abangaba ngu-9,000. Le nqubo yokunciphisa abasebenzi ayinankinga futhi iyinselele, uNelson evuma, "Lezi yizinqumo ezinzima kithi, futhi asizithathi kalula." Nokho, ukusuka emqondweni wezokuphatha, ukunciphisa abasebenzi kusebenza njengenye yezinyathelo ezibalulekile zokufeza izinhloso zokunciphisa izindleko.
Business Centralization: Reshaping the Operating Model
Ukuze kufezwe izinhloso ezimbili zokunciphisa izindleko nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza, iChevron isungule izinguquko eziyisisekelo emisebenzini yayo - idlulela kumodeli yokusebenza emhlabeni wonke eyayihlukene ngaphambili iye endleleni yokuphatha egxilile.
Ku inhlangano yayo yokukhiqiza, iChevron izokwakha iyunithi eyahlukile yokusebenza emanzini ukuze iphathe izinsiza ngokuhlanganyela eGulf of Mexico, eNigeria, e-Angola, naseMpumalanga yeMeditera. Ngasikhathi sinye, izinsiza ze-shale eTexas, eColorado, nase-Argentina zizohlanganiswa ngaphansi komnyango owodwa. Le nhlanganisela yezinsiza ezivela ezindaweni ezahlukene ihlose ukususa ukungasebenzi kahle ekwabelaneni kwezinsiza kanye nezinkinga zokubambisana ezidalwe yizigaba zezwe ezedlule, ngenkathi kuncishiswa izindleko zokusebenza ngokuphathwa okuhlanganisiwe.

Izi zikhungo zokusebenza ezihlanganisiwe kanye nezikhungo zobunjiniyela zizosisiza ukuthi sibe nezinqubo ezijwayelekile, sifeze izinzuzo zokukhula, sithuthukise ukusebenza kahle, futhi sinciphise umsebenzi ophindaphindiwe kanye nezinsiza ezilahlekile. Ngalesi simo sokuphathwa okuhlanganisiwe, iChevron ihlose ukuphula izithiyo zangaphambili ezichazwa yizikhala zokuphatha ezinzima kanye nokuhamba kolwazi okungasebenzi kahle. Lokhu kuzovumela izinguquko ezithuthukiswe kwelinye ibhizinisi ukuthi zisetshenziswe ngokushesha kwezinye ngaphandle kokudinga ukuvunywa kokuphathwa okunamaphuzu amaningi kanye nokuhlelwa, ngaleyo ndlela kuthuthukiswe ikhono lokwakha izinto ezintsha lenkampani kanye nokuphendula emakethe.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kulolu shintsho lwecebo, iChevron ibeke kakhulu emphakathini wokwakha ubuchwepheshe, ibona ukuthi kubalulekile ekwandiseni ukusebenza kahle, ukufinyelela ekunciphiseni izindleko, nasekukhuthazeni ukukhula kwebhizinisi.
Particularly noteworthy is how artificial intelligence has demonstrated remarkable value in Chevron's downstream operations. A prime example is the El Segundo Refinery in California, where employees utilize AI-powered mathematical models to determine optimal petroleum product blends in minimal time, thereby maximizing revenue potential.
Expansion Under Cost-Cutting Strategy
Medan iqulile izinqubomgomo zokunciphisa izindleko nokuhlanganiswa kwebhizinisi, iChevron ayikwenzi lokho ngokuhamba phambili ngamathuba okwandisa. Empeleni, phakathi kokwanda kokuncintisana emakethe yezezimali yomhlaba, le nkampani iqhubeka nokufuna izindlela ezintsha zokukhula—ihlela ngokucophelela imali ukuze iqinise futhi ithuthukise isikhundla sayo embonini.
Ekuqaleni, iChevron imemezele izinhlelo zokwenza imisebenzi yokubhoboza eNamibia. Leli zwe libonise amandla amakhulu ekuhloleni uwoyela eminyakeni edlule, likhangele ukunakwa kwezinkampani eziningi zamazwe omhlaba. Le nhloso yeChevron ihlose ukusebenzisa izinzuzo zezinsiza zeNamibia ukuze kuthuthukiswe izisekelo ezintsha zokukhiqiza uwoyela nogesi, ngaleyo ndlela kwandiswe izinsiza kanye nokukhiqiza kwenkampani.
Ngokuhambisana, iChevron iqhubeka nokwandisa ukutshalwa kwezimali kokuhlola ezindaweni ezisunguliwe ze-oyili negesi ezifana neNigeria ne-Angola. Lezi zizwe zinezimali eziningi ze-hydrocarbon, lapho iChevron yakhe khona iminyaka eminingi yokuhlangenwe nakho kokusebenza kanye nobudlelwano obuqinile. Ngokutshalwa kwezimali okwengeziwe nokuhlola, le nkampani ilindele ukuthola eminye imithombo ye-oyili esezingeni eliphezulu ukuze ikhulise ingxenye yayo yemakethe kulezi zindawo futhi iqinise isikhundla sayo emkhakheni we-hydrocarbon e-Afrika.
Ngomnyaka ophelile, iChevron ithole amalungelo okucwaninga ezindaweni eziyisishiyagalolunye ezisemanzini eBrazil's Amazon River Mouth Basin ngohlelo lokuncintisana. Ngenxa kwezindawo ezinkulu zasolwandle kanye namandla amaningi okukhishwa kwe-hydrocarbon, iBrazil imele umngcele obalulekile kuChevron. Ukuthola lawa malungelo okucwaninga kuzokwandisa kakhulu iphothifoliyo ye-Deepwater yomhlaba jikelele yenkampani.
Chevron will proceed with its $53 billion acquisition of Hess, after it prevailed in a landmark legal battle against larger rival Exxon Mobil to gain access to the largest oil discovery in decades.
