CHEVRON CORP Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth said that physical shortages of Brent Crude Oil will emerge globally. The shortages follow the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a transit point for 20% of global oil supply. Wirth expects shrinking economies, beginning in Asia, as demand adjusts to the supply vacuum created by regional conflict.
