The oil sector slump coincides with growing industry concern about the policies of new US President Joe Biden. On Wednesday, Biden issued an executive order that suspends new oil and gas leases on federal land, a move some observers believe points to a less favorable investment climate.
"We've got options out of the US," Wirth said during an earnings call on Friday. "If conditions in the US become so onerous that it really creates a disincentive [for investment] we can look [elsewhere]."
Chief financial officer Pierre Breber added: “We don’t agree that it’s good policy to be overly restrictive on federal lands. If it continues we think that will push energy production outside the country.”
Chevron's Latin American asset portfolio includes upstream projects in Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Suriname. The California-based company also secured operating stakes in the Colombia-3 and Guajira Off-3 blocks off Colombia's Caribbean coast as part of its US$5bn acquisition of Noble Energy last year.
