Chevron Corp. (CVX) warned that second-quarter earnings in its downstream segment will be "significantly lower" sequentially, while the upstream operations will benefit from high crude oil prices, largely offset by the cooling dollar.
The second-largest oil company by market value after Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) issued the warning in its interim update released Thursday. It said U.S. refining margins downstream were down sharply, more than offsetting an increase in marketing margins.
