Technology plays an important role in helping us deliver affordable, reliable energy that fuels human progress and economic growth around the world. The technologies we deploy not only help us cost effectively find and commercialize new oil and gas fields, but also help us recover more resources from existing fields. They enable us to integrate data and information so that we can manage and develop our global assets efficiently. And they help us advance emerging energy with the goal of developing scalable and economical new resources while reducing our environmental footprint.

We’ve invested billions of dollars to develop a large queue of assets ranging from vast new natural gas projects to reinvigorated century-old oil fields. And we’ve set lofty, but achievable goals for these assets – strengthening our base business, keeping our new assets on line and growing production. How do we ensure that our assets deliver on their potential? Chevron’s answer is “asset reliability,” which involves advancing and automating our operations by using existing, emerging and yet-to-be-developed technologies and workflow enhancements. It involves generating better data that our software can convert in real time into useful information – enabling us to operate more safely, reliably and efficiently; reduce costs; recover more resources; and better manage risks.
