Highlights of Operations
Chevron occupies an important place in the United Kingdom's energy market, covering a broad spectrum of business — from finding and extracting oil and gas to refinery operations to selling refined products.
We have interests in nine oil-and-gas-producing fields on the continental shelf, including Britannia, which plays a significant role in meeting the country's natural gas demand. Chevron operations in the North Sea have a track record of technological innovation. The Captain Field was one of the first North Sea fields to employ horizontal drilling. In 2007, we installed a new system at the Alba Field that cleans water more thoroughly – effectively "polishing" it – before returning it to the sea.
Chevron also owns the Pembroke refinery in southwest Wales, which specializes in processing heavy, lower-quality crudes.
Using a series of storage terminals around the country, we supply approximately 1,100 Texaco-branded service stations with a full range of fuels and Texaco and Chevron products. Many of the sites have convenience stores.
