As the worldwide search for new crude oil and natural gas supplies takes Chevron into increasingly more challenging areas, technology plays a pivotal role in the company's success. Chevron's Energy Technology Company (ETC) integrates the development and deployment of technology across the enterprise, from deepwater oil fields to the development of next-generation energy sources. This integration is uncommon in the industry and delivers a competitive advantage by providing full research and development capabilities to Chevron's upstream, downstream and emerging energy businesses. ETC is creating a robust pathway inside our company to improve efficiency, increase productivity, lower costs and encourage innovation.
