tengiz

The Tengiz oil field in western Kazakhstan ranks as the world’s deepest producing supergiant oil field and the largest single-trap producing reservoir in existence. Through a 50% stake in our Tengizchevroil (TCO) partnership, Chevron has played a key role in developing the Tengiz and Korolev oil fields. The Future Growth Project (FGP) has been designed to expand the production capacity of the Tengiz field and ensure its responsible development for decades to come.
