Exploration and Production
Through Chevron Petroleum Chad Company Limited, Chevron holds a 25 percent nonoperated working interest in an international consortium that is producing crude oil in the Doba fields in southern Chad.
In 2012, net average daily production from seven fields in the Doba Basin was 22,000 barrels of crude oil.
The complex includes the Bolobo, Miandoum and Kome fields, which began production in 2003; the Nya Field, which achieved first oil in 2005; and the Moundouli Field, which began production in 2006. The Maikeri Field began production in 2007 and the Timbre Field in 2009.
Pipelines
In 2003, we and our partners inaugurated the Chad-Cameroon Oil Development and Pipeline Project. Through Chevron Overseas Petroleum (Chad) Limited and Chevron Overseas Petroleum (Cameroon) Limited, Chevron has roughly a 21 percent interest in the two affiliates that own the underground pipeline, which was completed one year ahead of schedule.
The pipeline transports previously landlocked crude oil some 665 miles (1,070 km), from the Doba oil fields in southern Chad to a floating export facility at Kribi, Cameroon, in the Gulf of Guinea for export to world markets. The pipeline has a capacity of about 225,000 barrels per day.
