Project Kilby is a 20-year power purchase agreement with Microsoft for about 2.67 gigawatts of behind-the-meter capacity in West Texas, at returns management described as mid-teens, with a final investment decision expected later this year. It is pre-FID, with no disclosed capital cost, no first-power date and no revenue in any filing, so this case adds no revenue to any vertical. What it changes is the exit multiple: 7.6x instead of 7.0x, a re-rating for a major that also sells power to the AI buildout. It does not add a barrel, a dollar of EBITDA before 2031, or any evidence that FID happens.

Refining, marketing and lubricants outside the United States, with crude unit inputs of 598 MBD in the basis quarter after a 10% fall the company attributes to Middle East supply disruption. Refined product sales of 1,287 MBD are more than twice the crude run, so reported revenue per input barrel moves with the sales-to-throughput mix as much as with price.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Chevron has signed an agreement to sell its 50% interest in Singapore Refining Company along with downstream assets in Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, expected to close in 2027. It has not sized the revenue that removes, so the model does not step the base down for it; the bear case carries it as an unquantified reduction.
  • The $469.86 basis price per input barrel is a mix artefact more than a margin: crude runs fell 10% while product sales fell only 13% from a much larger base, so the ratio jumped. It glides back toward $305, near the 2024-2025 average.
  • The Hong Kong fuels and lubricants business was sold in the basis quarter for about $290 million of proceeds, and the quarter also carried a $230M asset-sale gain that will not repeat.
  • A one-off level step would be the right shape for the 2027 disposal, but the unit driver builds revenue from units and price and never reads the base, so baseShiftPct cannot move it. The bear case carries the reduction as a compounding growth delta instead.
