Chevron Corp. said it would raise capital spending 15% next year to $22.9 billion, making its most costly push ever to lift output after crude prices climbed near $100 a barrel.
The spending plan includes an estimated $17.5 billion for oil and natural gas production and $4.1 billion for refining, San Ramon, Calif.-based Chevron said.
