据阿拉伯贸易网2021年8月 2日报道，美国雪佛龙公司和法国道达尔能源公司时下正与印度石油天然气公司（ONGC）就印度上游项目进行单独的合作谈判，这表明近几年来外国能源公司对印度油气勘探领域的关注越来越多。
《经济时报》援引消息人士的话报道说，尽管外国能源公司对印度能源勘探领域没有表现出多大兴趣，但雪佛龙公司高管上月曾与印度ONGC讨论过此类机会。 报告还称，法国道达尔能源公司已经成立了一个由主要高管组成的技术委员会，以探索此类机会。
ONGC于2019年与埃克森美孚公司签署了一份谅解备忘录(MoU)，以获得其开发海上区块资源的专业知识和技术。 该协议规定，ONGC和埃克森美孚公司将联合竞标印度的油气勘探资产。
由于原油价格反弹将利润和现金流带回了疫情前的水平，雪佛龙公司日前公布了6个季度以来的最高利润，并加入了石油业以股票回购奖励投资者的热潮。 雪佛龙公司去年削减了支出，以允许利润在每桶50美元以上产生。 较低的成本和较高的油价产生了两年来最高的现金流，使公司能够削减债务并恢复股票回购。
今年3月，雪佛龙公司还制定了一项计划，在不大幅增加支出的情况下，扩大油气生产至2025年，并限制碳排放的增长速度。

Chevron, Total eye upstream projects in India
Chevron and Total Energies are engaged in separate partnership talks with onGC for upstream projects in India in a sign of growing interest in the country’s exploration sector that has barely received attention from foreign energy firms in recent years, said a report by The Economic Times.
While foreign energy companies have not shown much interest in India's energy exploration sector, American company Chevron's senior executives had discussed such opportunities with onGC last month, the newspapers cited sources as saying. French company Total has formed a technical committee of key executives to explore such opportunities, the report added.
onGC signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in 2019 with Exxon Mobil to receive its expertise and technology for developing resources in offshore blocks. It provided for onGC and ExxonMobil jointly bidding for exploration assets in India.
Chevron had reported its highest profit in six quarters and joined an oil industry stampede to reward investors with share buybacks, as rebounding crude oil prices carried earnings and cash flow to pre-pandemic levels. The company last year slashed spending to allow profits to flow at above $50 a barrel. Lower costs and higher prices generated the highest cash flow in two years, enabling the company to pare debt and resume share repurchases.
The company had also outlined a plan, in March, to expand oil and gas production through 2025 without spending significantly more and to limit the pace of growth of its carbon emissions.
