Company Roots

We trace our beginnings to an 1879 oil discovery at Pico Canyon, north of Los Angeles, which led to the formation of the Pacific Coast Oil Co. That company later became Standard Oil Co. of California and, subsequently, Chevron. We took on the name Chevron when we acquired Gulf Oil Corp. in 1984, nearly doubling our worldwide proved oil and gas reserves. Our merger with Gulf was at that time the largest in Cameroon.

Another major branch of the family tree is The Texas Fuel Company, formed in Beaumont, Texas, in 1901. It later became known as The Texas Company and eventually Texaco. In 2001, our two companies merged. The acquisition of Unocal Corporation in 2005 strengthened Chevron's position as an energy industry leader, increasing our crude oil and natural gas assets around the world.
Global Scope

Our diverse and highly skilled global workforce consists of approximately 58,000 employees and about 4,000 service station employees.

In 2010, Chevron produced 2.763 million barrels of net oil-equivalent per day, 2 percent higher than in 2009. About 75 percent of that volume occurred outside the United States. Chevron had a global refining capacity of more than 2 million barrels of oil per day .
