Its operations span conventional and unconventional onshore and offshore oil fields, liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, refining complexes and fuels marketing networks.

Management has emphasized a strategy that balances continuing investment in core upstream and downstream businesses with selective growth in lower‑carbon energy solutions. Chevron participates in chemical production through Chevron Phillips Chemical and has announced initiatives to expand its activities in natural gas, hydrogen, carbon capture and other lower‑emissions technologies. Mike Wirth serves as chairman and chief executive officer, leading a company that focuses on long‑term energy supply, operational reliability and transitional opportunities as global energy markets evolve.
