Chevron Corporation
Summary
Chevron Corporation is one of the world's largest multinational energy corporations, with a significant presence in nearly every aspect of the energy industry. The company traces its origins to the 1879 founding of the Pacific Coast Oil Company, which later became part of Standard Oil. Following the breakup of Standard Oil in 1911, the company that eventually became Chevron was known as Standard Oil of California. Over time, it expanded its operations and rebranded as Chevron Corporation in 1984 after acquiring Gulf Oil, which was one of the largest mergers in history at that time. Chevron is primarily involved in the exploration, production, and transportation of crude oil and natural gas. It also refines, markets, and distributes petroleum products. Beyond oil and gas, Chevron has operations in chemicals manufacturing, mining, power generation, and energy services.
