Isikhondlakhondla sikawoyela emhlabeni wonke i-Chevron kubikwa ukuthi siyahlelwa kabusha ngendlela enkulu kunazo zonke, ihlela ukunciphisa abasebenzi bayo emhlabeni wonke ngama-20% ekupheleni kuka-2026. Le nkampani izophinde yehlise amayunithi amabhizinisi endawo nawesifunda, ishintshele esimweni esimaphakathi ukuze ithuthukise ukusebenza.
Ngokusho kwePhini likaSihlalo wakwaChevron u-Mark Nelson, inkampani ihlela ukwehlisa isibalo samayunithi amabhizinisi akhuphuka nomfula ukusuka ku-18–20 eminyakeni embalwa edlule iye ku-3–5 nje kuphela.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, i-Chevron yamemezela izinhlelo zokumba eNamibia, itshale imali ekuhloleni eNigeria nase-Angola, futhi ngenyanga edlule yathola amalungelo okuhlola izindawo eziyisishiyagalolunye ezingasogwini emfuleni waseBrazil i-Amazon River.
Ngenkathi inqamula imisebenzi futhi yenza imisebenzi ibe lula, i-Chevron ngasikhathi sinye isheshisa ukuhlola nokuthuthukiswa—ushintsho lwamasu olwembula incwadi yokudlala yokusinda entsha yemboni yamandla ezikhathini ezineziyaluyalu.
Ukunciphisa izindleko ukubhekana nengcindezi yabatshalizimali
Enye yezinjongo eziyinhloko zokuhlelwa kabusha kwesu lamanje lakwa-Chevron ukuzuza kufikela ku-$3 wezigidigidi ekwehlisweni kwezindleko ngo-2026. Lokhu okuhlosiwe kuqhutshwa izitayela ezijulile zezimboni namandla ezimakethe.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, amanani entengo kawoyela emhlabeni wonke abe nokuguquguquka njalo, ahlala ecindezelekile isikhathi eside. Khonamanjalo, ukukhula kokungaqiniseki okuzungeze ikusasa lamafutha ezinsalela ezimbiwa phansi kuqinise izimfuno zabatshalizimali zembuyiselo yemali eqinile evela ezinkampanini ezinkulu zamandla. Abanikazi bamasheya manje baphusha ngokuphuthumayo lezi zinkampani ukuze zithuthukise ukusebenza kahle kanye nokunciphisa izindleko, kuqinisekiswe uxhaso olwanele lokukhokhwa kwezabelo kanye nokuthengwa kwesitoko.
Ngaphansi kwezingcindezi zemakethe ezinjalo, ukusebenza kwesitoko se-Chevron kubhekene nezinselelo ezinkulu. Njengamanje, isitokwe samandla sithatha u-3.1% kuphela wenkomba ye-S&P 500 - ngaphansi kwesigamu sesisindo sazo seminyaka eyishumi edlule. NgoJulayi, ngenkathi zombili i-S&P 500 kanye ne-Nasdaq zifinyelela izinga eliphezulu lokuvala irekhodi, isitoko samandla sehla kuwo wonke amabhodi: I-ExxonMobil ne-Occidental Petroleum yehle ngaphezu kuka-1%, kuyilapho i-Schlumberger, i-Chevron, ne-ConocoPhillips zonke zaba buthaka.
IPhini likaSihlalo we-Chevron u-Mark Nelson washo ngokungananazi engxoxweni yase-Bloomberg: "Uma sifuna ukuhlala sincintisana futhi sihlale njengendlela yokutshala imali emakethe, kufanele siqhubeke sithuthukisa ukusebenza kahle futhi sithole izindlela ezintsha, ezingcono zokusebenza." Ukuze kuzuzwe lo mgomo, i-Chevron ayizange nje isebenzise izinguquko ezijulile zesakhiwo ekusebenzeni kwayo kwebhizinisi kodwa futhi yenze ukuncipha okukhulu kwabasebenzi.
NgoFebhuwari kulo nyaka, iChevron yamemezela izinhlelo zokunciphisa abasebenzi bayo emhlabeni wonke ngama-20%, okungenzeka kuthinte abasebenzi ababalelwa ku-9,000. Lesi sinyathelo sokwehlisa akungabazeki ukuthi sibuhlungu futhi siyinselele, uNelson evuma, "Lezi izinqumo ezinzima kithi, futhi asizithathi kalula." Kodwa-ke, ngokombono wamasu webhizinisi, ukuncishiswa kwabasebenzi kusebenza njengenye yezinyathelo ezibalulekile zokufeza izinhloso zokunciphisa izindleko.
I-Business Centralization: Ukuma Kabusha Imodeli Yokusebenza
Ukuze kuzuzwe izinjongo ezimbili zokunciphisa izindleko kanye nokwenza ngcono ukusebenza kahle, i-Chevron yenze izinguquko ezibalulekile ekusebenzeni kwayo kwebhizinisi - isuka kumodeli yayo yangaphambilini yokusebenza yomhlaba wonke eya endleleni yokuphatha emaphakathi.
Ophikweni lwayo lokukhiqiza, i-Chevron izosungula iyunithi ehlukile ye-offshore ezosebenzisa impahla e-US Gulf of Mexico, Nigeria, Angola, kanye naseMpumalanga Mediterranean. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, izimpahla ze-shale e-Texas, Colorado, nase-Argentina zizohlanganiswa ngaphansi komnyango owodwa. Lokhu kuhlanganiswa kwempahla yezifunda ezihlukene kuhlose ukuqeda ukungasebenzi kahle ekwabiweni kwezinsiza kanye nezinselele zokubambisana ezibangelwa ukuhlukaniswa kwezindawo kwangaphambilini, kuyilapho kunciphisa izindleko zokusebenza ngokuphathwa okumaphakathi.
Emisebenzini yayo yesevisi, i-Chevron ihlela ukuhlanganisa imisebenzi yezezimali, izinsiza zabantu kanye nemisebenzi ye-IT eyayisakazeke emazweni amaningi ibe yizikhungo zesevisi eManila naseBuenos Aires. Ukwengeza, inkampani izosungula izindawo zonjiniyela ezimaphakathi e-Houston nase-Bangalore, e-India.
Ukusungulwa kwalezi zikhungo zesevisi ezimaphakathi kanye nezizinda zobunjiniyela kuzosiza ukulinganisa ukugeleza komsebenzi, ukuzuza umnotho wesilinganiso, kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle, futhi kunciphise umsebenzi ongasasebenzi kanye nokumoshwa kwezinsiza. Ngale modeli yokuphatha ebekwe endaweni eyodwa, i-Chevron ihlose ukudiliza imigoqo yenhlangano yangaphambilini ebonakala ngezigaba zokuphatha kanye nokugeleza kolwazi olungasebenzi kahle. Lokhu kuzokwenza ukuthi izinto ezintsha ezithuthukiswe eyunithi yebhizinisi eyodwa zisatshalaliswe ngokushesha kuwo wonke amanye ngaphandle kokudinga ukugunyazwa kokuphathwa kwezingqimba eziningi nokuxhumana, ngaleyo ndlela kuthuthukiswe ikhono lokuqamba lonke lenkampani kanye nokusabela ezimakethe.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kulolu shintsho oluyisu, i-Chevron ibeke ukugcizelela okukhulu ekusungulweni kwezobuchwepheshe, ikubona njengomshayeli obalulekile wokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle, ukuzuza ukuncipha kwezindleko, kanye nokugqugquzela ukukhula kwebhizinisi.
Okuphawuleka kakhulu ukuthi ubuhlakani bokwenziwa bubonise ukubaluleka okumangalisayo emisebenzini ye-Chevron engezansi komfula. Isibonelo esiyinhloko i-El Segundo Refinery eseCalifornia, lapho abasebenzi basebenzisa amamodeli ezibalo anamandla e-AI ukuze banqume ukuxubana komkhiqizo we-petroleum ngesikhathi esincane, ngaleyo ndlela bakhulise amathuba emali engenayo.
Ukwandiswa Ngaphansi Kwesu Lokunciphisa Izindleko
Nakuba iphishekela ngamandla amasu okunciphisa izindleko kanye nokuhlanganisa ibhizinisi, i-Chevron ayiwashiyi nakancane amathuba okunwetshwa. Eqinisweni, phakathi nokuncintisana kwemakethe yamandla omhlaba wonke, inkampani iyaqhubeka nokufuna izinto ezintsha zokukhula—isebenzisa imali ngobuchule ukuze iqinise futhi ithuthukise isikhundla sayo embonini.
Phambilini, abakwaChevron bamemezele izinhlelo zokuqhuba imisebenzi yokumba eNamibia. Izwe selikhombise ikhono elibonakalayo ekuhloleni uphethiloli eminyakeni yakamuva, lidonse ukunaka kwezinkampani zikawoyela zamazwe ngamazwe. Lesi sinyathelo se-Chevron sihlose ukusebenzisa izinzuzo zensiza yaseNamibia ukuze kuthuthukiswe izisekelo ezintsha zokukhiqiza uwoyela negesi, ngaleyo ndlela kwandiswe imali egciniwe yenkampani kanye nomphumela.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-Chevron iyaqhubeka nokuqinisa ukutshalwa kwezimali kokuhlola ezindaweni ezimisiwe zikawoyela negesi njengeNigeria ne-Angola. Lezi zizwe zinezinsiza eziningi ze-hydrocarbon, lapho i-Chevron yakhe khona amashumi eminyaka esipiliyoni sokusebenza kanye nobudlelwano obuqinile. Ngokutshalwa kwezimali okwengeziwe kanye nokuhlola, inkampani ilindele ukuthola izizinda zikawoyela ezisezingeni eliphezulu ukuze ikhulise isabelo sayo semakethe kulezi zindawo futhi iqinise isikhundla sayo emkhakheni we-hydrocarbon wase-Afrika.
Ngenyanga edlule, i-Chevron ithole amalungelo okuhlola amabhulokhi ayisishiyagalolunye asogwini e-Amazon River Mouth Basin yaseBrazil ngokusebenzisa inqubo yokuncintisana yokubhida. Njengoba kunezindawo ezinkulu zasolwandle namandla acebile e-hydrocarbon yasogwini, i-Brazil imele umngcele wamasu we-Chevron. Ukuthola lawa malungelo okuhlola kuzokwandisa kakhulu iphothifoliyo yenkampani ye-deepwater yomhlaba wonke.
IChevron izoqhubeka nokuthola kwayo iHess ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-53, ngemuva kokuba iphumelele empini eyingqophamlando yokulwa nembangi yakhe enkulu i-Exxon Mobil ukuthola ukufinyelela ekutholakaleni kukawoyela okukhulu kunawo wonke emashumini eminyaka.
I-Chevron isebenzisa amasu okuhlanganisa ibhizinisi kanye nokunciphisa izindleko ukuze ithuthukise isakhiwo sayo senhlangano futhi ithuthukise ukusebenza kahle, kuyilapho iphishekela ngentshiseko amathuba okunweba ngokukhuphuka kokuhlolwa kwezinsiza zomhlaba kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali.
Ukuqhubekela phambili, ukuthi noma ngabe i-Chevron ingakwazi yini ukufeza izinjongo zayo zamasu ngempumelelo futhi ikwazi ukuzihlukanisa emakethe eqhudelana kakhulu kusalokhu kugxilwe kakhulu kwababukele.
