Chevron Interim Financial Update for Q2 2012
Chevron issues interim update for second quarter 2012 with earnings expected to be higher than in the first quarter
Upstream results are projected to be lower between sequential quarters, due to lower average crude oil prices, partially offset by foreign exchange gains.
Downstream earnings in the second quarter are expected to be significantly higher, reflecting improved refining margins and gains on asset sales.
