Contributing to Economic and Social Development in Angola

Since Chevron subsidiary Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Limited first began drilling for oil in Angola nearly 50 years ago, Chevron has grown to become one of the country's top producers, responsible for one-third of its annual production.

Among foreign oil firms operating in Angola, we are the largest employer, with approximately 3,000 employees and an additional 12,000 contracted workers. We have more than a dozen major projects in design or execution stages. With partners, our capital investment in Angola is expected to exceed $10 billion through 2010.

Angola is now the fastest-growing economy in Africa. In carrying out our business, we support the country's economic and social development.
