When people think of technology, they often think of industries such as aerospace or computing. They seldom think of oil and gas.
But ours is an industry that is heavily dependant on technology and innovation. In Thailand, for example, where Chevron is the No. 1 crude oil and gas producer, we depend on technology to meet the growing energy needs of the country and the Asia-Pacific region.
Chevron operates more than 195 platforms in the Gulf of Thailand with a 2007 total average daily production of 138,000 barrels of crude oil and condensate (71,000 net) and 1.7 billion gross cubic feet of gas (916 million net).
That's a lot of platforms – each requiring the latest equipment and experienced workers to ensure that we continue producing energy efficiently and safely.
It's no wonder our partnerships in Thailand are growing. Thailand recently gave a green light for Chevron and several partners to build the Platong Gas II natural gas project in the Gulf of Thailand. The project is expected to cost $3.1 billion and is designed to add 420 million cubic feet of natural gas per day processing capacity – energy Thailand needs for progress.
Here at the World Petroleum Congress, Chevron's work in Thailand stands out as an example of how our people, our commitment to partnership and our technology make Chevron the partner of choice in the energy industry.
