📈 加州政府为应对行业外流和高油价，推出新法案以刺激本土石油生产。该法案允许在科恩县每年加速审批2000口新油井，旨在稳定州内石油供应并缓解汽油价格上涨的压力。

📉 行业高管对加州营商环境持负面看法，认为其“艰难”导致了油气公司的离开。雪佛龙等公司已将总部迁至德州，表明了对加州政策和营商环境的不满，认为其对行业存在长期“敌意”。

⛽ 加州汽油价格远高于全国平均水平，且炼油厂数量大幅减少，导致对进口原油依赖度增高。此次新政旨在通过增加本土产量来稳定供应，并降低未来汽油价格波动的风险，但其长期效果有待市场检验。

🔄 新法案被视为加州政府对油气行业的“魅力攻势”，试图扭转过去25年被行业视为“敌意”的环境。其目标是平衡能源供应安全与环境保护，但具体执行和市场反应仍是关注焦点。

Following 25 years of what oil and gas executives categorize as hostility to the industry, the state is now making a play to keep those companies from leaving. 

Concerned with the exodus of oil and gas companies, refinery closures and the expensive price of gasoline in the state, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation last week that fast tracks the approval of 2,000 new wells per year over the next 10 years in Kern County, a significant oil-producing region.

Andy Walz, Chevron's president of Americas products, said during an appearance on FOX Business, "I think it's been a tyranny of about 25 years to get the refining business to leave California."

Walz told reporters last summer about Chevon's move from California to Texas, saying the company has "been doing that because California is a tough place to do business."

"It's a tough place to recruit people," he said. "It's a tough place to move employees – a lot of our employees move up through the company, they gain experience in different geographies, different locations, and we have a lot of people who will not move to California. That makes it difficult."

FOX Business reached out to Newsom's office for comment.

FOX Business Network's Lauren Simonetti said Chevron is "not overly optimistic about California's recent charm offensive."

Californians are paying $4.65 for a gallon of regular gasoline while the national average is $3.17 per gallon, according to AAA. 

There are 13 refineries currently in operation in the state. When Valero and Phillips 66 shut down theirs, that number will be down to 11. The state had 40 refineries in 1983.

Due to the exodus, California has had to rely on foreign sources for three quarters of its oil.

Gavin Newsom said of the legislation that it "mitigates against future gasoline spikes by stabilizing the production of in-state petroleum and refinery supply and diversifying the state's transportation fuel supply."
