How it reaches your house.
Starting from Chevron Corporation, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
ExxonMobil →supply upThe Venezuela deal gives ExxonMobil access to oil reserves and should increase crude feedstock available to its operations, though the graph edge is only moderately important and not hard to replace.
70% confidenceChevron Corporation →supply upTrump said Chevron is going in to Venezuela and Reuters said the deal will boost investment there, which could raise Chevron’s petroleum-linked supply capacity and improve base-oils availability.
29% confidenceHop 2
Crude Oil Feedstock →supply upThe headline is specifically about Venezuelan oil access and investment, and the graph shows Venezuela as a crude supplier, so its contribution to feedstock supply should rise if the deal advances output.
90% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →supply upCrude oil feedstock is a critical, one-for-one input to gasoline and diesel, so improved Venezuelan crude availability should lift downstream fuel supply.
81% confidenceCrude Oil Feedstock →supply upHop 3
Venezuela →supply upVenezuela's 3.5% supply share in crude oil feedstock means a loosening of access/investment should modestly raise availability.
72% confidenceGasoline and diesel →supply upExxon’s reported entry into Venezuelan oil should raise or stabilize upstream crude availability, directly easing the core feedstock bottleneck for gasoline and diesel.
66% confidenceVenezuela →supply upThe 7.6% Venezuela share makes this heavy-oil-linked input more available if Venezuelan output and export access improve.
Hop 4
Gulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →supply upThis feedstock is a critical input to jet fuel, so any increase in its availability should raise jet fuel supply.
83% confidenceBitumen / Asphalt Binder →supply upBitumen/asphalt binder is a critical input to asphalt and paving materials, so any Venezuelan-linked supply relief should make downstream paving materials more available.
79% confidenceGulf Coast crude oil feedstock (jet fraction) →Stands to benefit
