Will Chevron’s Third Quarter Disappoint The Market?

EXTRACTS

Royal Dutch Shell’s second quarter results were adversely affected by a massive charge related to its shale oil fields in North America. These losses more than likely stem from the fact that Royal Dutch Shell arrived late to the U.S. shale party which is evident in its recent decision to shed its Eagle Ford assets.
