"Chevron said first-quarter profit rose 9.5 percent, beating Wall Street estimates. Net income climbed to $5.17 billion, or $2.48 a share, from $4.72 billion, or $2.18, a year earlier, the company said.

O’Reilly, plans to spend more than $400 million a week this year in the company’s costliest push ever to find new reserves, tap discoveries and expand refineries."
