For more than 130 years, Chevron has developed some of the world's most complex crude oil fields. We have a strong position in nearly all of the world's key basins, and our extensive project portfolio provides the foundation for future growth.

We are the largest private producer of oil in Kazakhstan, the top oil and natural gas producer in Thailand, the largest oil producer in Indonesia and the top leaseholder in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

In 2010, Chevron produced 2.763 million net oil-equivalent barrels per day from operations around the world.

Natural gas is a growing segment of Chevron's energy portfolio. Our natural gas resources span six continents, with significant holdings in Africa, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Caspian region, Latin America and North America. Chevron has a net production of more than 5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, including equity shares in affiliates, and we expect to substantially increase this volume over the next decade.

Although world gas resources are plentiful, the regions with natural gas surpluses are often oceans away from the greatest demand. Chevron has the capabilities to meet the challenges of developing resources and delivering natural gas to markets where its use is growing.

Chevron is engaged in every aspect of the natural gas business—production, liquefaction, shipping, regasification, pipelines, marketing and trading, power generation, and gas-to-liquids (GTL).

We hold the largest natural gas resource position in Australia through the Gorgon and Wheatstone projects, the Browse Basin, and the North West Shelf Venture. We also have significant natural gas holdings in western Africa, Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, North America, the Philippines, South America, Thailand, the United Kingdom and Vietnam.
