Technology That Drives Results
At Kazakhstan’s giant Tengiz oil fi eld, state-of-the-art injection technology is being developed that
will increase crude oil production capacity from 300,000 barrels per day in 2005 to an estimated
460,000 to 550,000 barrels per day by the third quarter of 2007. Our “Big 5” $5.5 billion Sour Gas
Injection/Second Generation Plant project, now under construction, is an example of how Chevron is
applying technology in a focused way across the enterprise to enhance performance. The project will
include the largest single-train, sour crude oil processing plant in the world. Advanced com pression
technology will enable sour gas to be reinjected back into the reservoir at up to 10,000 pounds per
square inch of pressure.
Chevron has built a technology organization that is unique in the industry. It is the only one that is fully integrated and
capable of delivering technology and services throughout the energy value chain. It also is partnership-driven. In addi-
tion to developing proprietary technology, the company has forged alliances to share technical risk, cost and talent
with external organizations that have complementary capabilities.
