Chevron is one of the largest foreign investors in Bangladesh, providing employment for about 2,200 workers and meeting 40 percent of the country's natural gas consumption.
The two-year startup of the Bibiyana Field demonstrates our ability to handle complex projects involving many technical, environmental and workforce challenges. To bring the field into production, Chevron recruited about 2,300 Bangladeshi workers to work on the project.
Chevron also produces natural gas from the Jalalabad and Moulavi Bazar fields, both of which have been producing near full capacity. We continue exploration efforts in Block 7 in southern Bangladesh.
