Research Focus Areas

The PAC team supports Chevron operating companies by developing and deploying advanced technologies, conducting leading-edge research and development programs, providing process engineering and analytical laboratory support, consulting for project decision and risk analysis, and overseeing pilot plant operations.

PAC represents Chevron’s centre of excellence for process engineering, chemistry and R&D laboratories.

The Earth Sciences team creates value for our operations by focusing on lowering the risk and uncertainty inherent in oil and gas exploration.

The team supports our reservoir management efforts, maximises the value of our base businesses, and helps develop a robust portfolio of exploration prospects that can significantly expand Chevron’s global resource base.

The Technical Computing team supports the base business and capital growth projects of its Chevron partners.

The team brings value to its partners through innovative, cost-effective computing and application support, information management, strategic consulting services and deployment of value-added emerging technologies.

Our Reservoir and Production Engineering team creates value by maximising the profitable value of oil and gas reserves and brings expertise, innovation and advanced technologies to our operations to develop energy supplies that otherwise, using traditional recovery and completion techniques, would be noncommercial.

Our HES team ensures that we are continually improving our health, safety, environmental reliability and efficiency performance.

The team’s mission is to provide technical expertise and best-in-industry practices in a wide range of activities, including environmental assessments and behaviour-based safety.

Our Facilities Engineering team provides a wide span of consulting services for projects ranging from deepwater oil and gas fields to product terminals and pilot plants for unconventional energy resources.

Facilities engineering specialists support major capital projects from the early concept stage, deploy advanced offshore technologies, develop solutions for corrosion control, and design and install high-value instrumentation for all surface facilities.

Our Drilling and Completions team develops and deploys game-changing technologies to reduce cost and improve the safety and efficiency of well programs.
