Earlier this week, Chevron CEO Mike Worth met with Trump administration officials to discuss an urgent issue: how to keep the US oil giant's large-scale oil and gas business in Kazakhstan from becoming a collateral casualty of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. A number of people familiar with the matter revealed that this week, Worth, company executives, and other petroleum industry leaders met with senior US officials to discuss the oil market and the Black Sea situation in an effort to protect the company's local rights and interests. An American official said that after communicating with the oil industry, the Trump administration issued a warning to Ukraine prohibiting it from attacking non-Russian tankers in the Black Sea. The official said, “The US side believes that the Caspian Sea Pipeline Consortium pipeline is a key channel for transporting Kazakh crude oil to the European market, providing Europe with an alternative source of supply other than Russian energy.”
