U.S. oil majors Chevron Corp and Exxon Mobil Inc cut spending aggressively in the third quarter in a race to offset weak trends in fuel demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, though the former managed a slim profit.

cut spending aggressively in the third quarter in a race to offset weak trends in fuel demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, though the former managed a slim profit.Exxon posted its third straight quarter of losses on Friday and reduced spending plans for the coming year.

The outlook for energy consumption “depends on when the world - this country and other countries - get control of the pandemic and those activities resume. We don’t know when that’s going to be,” said Chevron Chief Financial Officer Pierre Breber. Exxon came into the year with an ambitious spending plan driven by investments in shale and offshore discoveries, particularly off the coast of Guyana. It originally planned to spend $33 billion in capital and exploration investment in 2020, though through three quarters it has instead spent just $16.6 billion.Now, however, it is focused on preserving its dividend.

Next year, the largest U.S. oil producer said capital spending would be between $16 billion to $19 billion, versus an adjusted plan to spend around $23 billion this year.

Let’s hope the demand drops to the point that Exxon gives up ALL foreign ownerships & RETURN the NATURAL RESOURCES back to the countries.
