Gas and Midstream

Unlocking the Full Potential of Natural Gas


Our world depends on clean natural gas to help meet growing
energy needs. The International Energy Agency estimates gas
use will grow over 50 percent through 2035, with demand in
Asian economies especially strong. Developing more of this
abundant and efcient resource is critical to help fuel the
global economy, curb carbon emissions and enhance the
quality of life worldwide.
Chevron: Your Natural Gas Partner
Chevron is an established, global leader in integrated, multi-partner natural gas
projects, with multi-billion dollar developments under way in Africa, Australia,
China, Indonesia, North America, Vietnam and other locations. We produce
approximately 5 billion cubic feet per day from projects onshore and offshore,
tight formations, and shale and we are a recognized leader in safely developing
deep, high-pressure, high-temperature and sour reservoirs. Our operations
supply pipeline gas to industry, power plants and consumers worldwide. By
2020 we will be one of the largest producers of liqueed natural gas (LNG) in
the world and a major LNG shipper. Were also developing a major gas-to-liquids
project in Nigeria.
Today more than ever, successful natural gas developments require a clear focus
on the entire value chain. Through our upstream and technology businesses, we
offer world-class capability in exploration and resource development. Our Gas
and Midstream organization links the wellhead to the marketplace with expert
teams devoted to gas commercialization and marketing, shipping, pipelines, and
power generation. Chevrons global commitment to the disciplined application
of our Operational Excellence Management System ensures that every project
maintains a constant focus on safety for employees, contractors and neighbors.
Our culture and processes ensure that our facilities are designed and operated
to deliver reliable supplies of clean natural gas safely and efciently, while
protecting people and the environment.
Fueling generations to come with natural gas requires nancially strong,
experienced companies with superior technology and a commitment to safety
and environmental stewardship. Most of all, natural gas development requires a
focus on mutually benecial partnerships with host countries, customers, industry
and local communities and a commitment to shared investment in a secure
energy future. A proven partner and performer, Chevron sees tremendous
opportunities for protable natural gas development throughout the world.

Growing World Gas Supplies With Chevron
2 | Gas and Midstream
With demonstrated capabilities across the natural gas value chain, Chevron is the premier gas
partner, helping host countries increase natural gas production and use. As we work to produce
our proved gas reserves of more than 29 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), we see great potential to develop
our total unrisked resource base of more than 160 Tcf and to form new partnerships.
Tight Gas: United States
The Piceance Basin project in Colorado targets
3.5 Tcf of potentially recoverable gas.

Chevron: The Proven Global Gas Partner
4 | Gas and Midstream
As the leading international oil company in Asia-Pacic, Chevron deploys
a full range of technical capabilities to help increase the natural gas supplies
essential to growing economies. In Australia, Chevron is the operator of the giant
Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG and domestic natural gas projects, which are posi-
tioning Australia to become one of the worlds largest LNG exporters and a key,
long-term energy partner to Asian economies. Representing a combined capital
investment of $66 billion, with the initial phases designed to export around 24
million tons of LNG per year. Anchored by long-term supply contracts with Japan
and other key Asian markets, the projects are expected to tap tens of trillions of
cubic feet of offshore reserves, create thousands of jobs, help drive the regional
economy and contribute billions of dollars in revenue to the government in the
decades ahead. We continue to explore for new gas supplies offshore, employing
state-of-the-art subsurface mapping technologies to pinpoint and evaluate targets
and new elds, drilling more than one dozen major discoveries since 2009. Were
also a partner in the North West Shelf Venture, which has exported LNG since 1989.
Focused on the full natural gas value chain, Chevron is a proven, long-term partner in gas
development. We combine exploration, development, transportation and market strategies to
nd new resources and ensure long-term project stability and growth potential.

In other parts of Asia-Pacic, weve become the largest gas producer in Thailand,
and our Platong II project, started up in 2011, will increase the countrys gas pro-
duction by 10 percent. Chevron is also the largest gas producer in Bangladesh,
fueling that nations power plants. Were applying our expertise in sour gas
development to Chinas Chuandongbei project, and in Vietnam, were working
to develop offshore elds to supply needed gas for power. The Gendalo-Gehem
deepwater gas project in Indonesia is expected to support both LNG exports
and domestic supply.
In North America, Chevron is a top U.S. natural gas supplier, marketer and
pipeline operator, producing around 1.3 billion cubic feet per day from California,
Colorado, Texas, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and other areas. Were a leader in deep-
water gas development in the Gulf of Mexico; deep gas exploration and produc-
tion on the Gulf of Mexico shelf; and safe production and processing of sour gas.
Our company is a major developer of natural gas from the vast Marcellus Shale
in the Appalachian region and is exploring for shale gas on more than 250,000
acres in western Canada.
In Africa, were partnering with Sonangol on the development of the rst
LNG export project in Angola. This complex of offshore and onshore facilities
is reducing gas aring, optimizing gas-enhanced oil production and increasing
gas commercialization. In Nigeria, weve had upstream operations for more than
50 years. Currently, Chevron supplies gas domestically and also to neighboring
countries through the West Africa Gas Pipeline. In 2013, we expect to start up
our 33,000 barrel-per-day Escravos gas-to-liquids plant.
In Latin America, Chevron is the top natural gas producer in Colombia,
with more than 640 million cubic feet of daily production, and has interests in
producing gas elds offshore Trinidad and Tobago. In Venezuela, Chevron has
discovered signicant offshore gas resources.
In Europe, Chevron is exploring for gas from shale formations in areas of
Central Europe, aiming to develop this vast resource with safe fracturing
technologies proved in the United States. The company is a long-time oil and
gas producer in the U.K. North Sea, contributing signicant volumes to Britains
gas supply.
In Eurasia, complex gas re-injection facilities enhance liquids production at
our Kazakhstan projects, where we have developed industry-leading capability
in managing sour, high-pressure reservoirs.
