Producer
Chevron Corporation
Chevron Corporation (San Ramon CA; NYSE: CVX; market cap ~$290B) is a major natural gas producer with operations across Permian Basin TX/NM (both crude oil and associated gas), US Gulf of Mexico deep water, Australia (Gorgon LNG — 15.6 mtpa capacity, Wheatstone LNG — 8.9 mtpa capacity), and Kazakhstan (Tengiz field, predominantly oil but with associated gas). Chevron's Australian LNG operations at Gorgon and Wheatstone are among the world's largest LNG projects and supply predominantly Asian buyers. Permian Basin associated gas volumes have grown substantially as Chevron has expanded Permian crude production. Chevron's attempted acquisition of Hess Corporation (2024, ~$53B) — which would have added Hess's Guyana offshore and Bakken gas positions — faced regulatory challenge from ExxonMobil and CNOOC over pre-emption rights in the Guyana Stabroek Block.

Did you know2024
Chevron is tracked as a petroleum producer (fossil fuel supply chain), but its Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG projects in Western Australia make it one of the world's largest LNG producers — supplying natural gas to Japan, South Korea, and China, which use the same LNG to generate electricity and fertilizer. Chevron is simultaneously an oil supplier (transport fuels supply chain), an LNG supplier to Asia's power grids (Asian energy supply chain), and an ammonia/fertilizer feedstock supplier via the gas sold to Asian petrochemical plants. A Chevron Permian drilling pause or Gorgon LNG outage simultaneously affects US gasoline supply, Asian electricity pricing, and global fertilizer manufacturing — three supply chains that energy analysts, Asian utility regulators, and agricultural economists track in entirely different models.

Chevron traces to the Pacific Coast Oil Company, founded in 1879 in California — the same year that Standard Oil (Rockefeller) was beginning its national monopoly. Pacific Coast Oil became part of Standard Oil of California (SOCAL), which was broken off as a separate company in the 1911 Standard Oil antitrust breakup. SOCAL later acquired Texaco (2001) and grew through Permian Basin and international expansions to become the second-largest US integrated oil company. The 2023 acquisition of Hess Corporation for $53B (largest oil acquisition since Exxon-Mobil 1999) brought the Guyana deepwater oil block — one of the world's most significant new oil discoveries — into Chevron.
