a leader in the gulf
The Gulf of America (GOA), formerly the Gulf of Mexico, plays a valuable role in U.S. energy independence. Contributing 14% to the U.S. crude oil supply, the Gulf is home to some of the world’s lowest carbon intensity oil and gas.
With a more than 85-year track record of success in the Gulf, Chevron is continuing to grow operations there. Our goal is to produce 300,000 net barrels of oil-equivalent per day in 2026.

a closer look at chevron’s portfolio
With stacked reservoirs, new drilling capability and large fields, oil and gas produced from the Gulf is helping meet the world’s energy needs. Today, Chevron is a leading performer in the GOA. Assets include six operated facilities and eight operated fields. A significant portion of our portfolio is within tieback range.

ballymore project
doing more with less
The Ballymore project—which achieved first oil in 2025—is a 3-mile subsea tieback to the Blind Faith host facility. The project reduced development costs by using our existing Blind Faith facility, standardized equipment, repeatable engineering solutions and existing infrastructure to transport oil and natural gas.

our guiding principles
finding new ways to safely
deliver more
Three principles help us deliver more efficiently, more safely and at a lower carbon intensity.
optimization
To improve operational efficiency, we’re making better use of existing infrastructure and using AI to help guide exploration focus areas.
technology
We’re using technology to increase production, help predict geologic factors more effectively and access hard-to-reach reserves.
standardization
With standardized processes, tools and equipment, along with repeatable engineering solutions, we’re helping to boost efficiency, lower costs and reduce cycle times.
“We’re leveraging our strengths in the Gulf of America to help meet energy demand and bolster U.S. energy security.”
