Chevron runs an extensive network of oil, natural gas and refined product pipelines and storage facilities in North America. We also operate and invest in pipeline projects around the world.
Chevron Pipe Line Company serves the petroleum and petrochemical industry in North America from its headquarters in Houston, Texas. The company operates crude terminals and pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, Utah, California and Alaska. We own and/or operate refined product terminals and pipelines in Texas, California, Idaho and Washington. We also own and operate natural gas storage facilities in southern Louisiana, West Texas and western Canada.
In 2007, Chevron Pipe Line continued to build and grow our network. We led the development of a natural gas gathering pipeline serving the Piceance Basin in northwest Colorado. We participated in the installation of the 55-mile (90-km) Amberjack-Tahiti lateral pipeline on the seafloor of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We completed a pipeline running under the ocean in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to the Fourchon terminal in Louisiana. Our pipeline company also is leading the expansion of the West Texas LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) Pipeline system, which Chevron partially owns.
Chevron also has pipeline interests around the world not managed by Chevron Pipe Line. As of 2007, our net pipeline mileage worldwide was 14,075 miles (22,652 km), 12,181 miles (19,603 km) of which was within the United States. Projects outside North America include the following:
- The Caspian Pipeline Consortium operates a crude oil export pipeline that runs from the Tengiz Field in Kazakhstan to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.
- The Chad/Cameroon project is developing crude oil fields in southern Chad and transporting the crude oil more than 665 miles (1,070 km) by underground pipeline to the coast of Cameroon for export to world markets.
- The West African Gas Pipeline is expected to begin transporting Nigerian natural gas in 2008 to customers in Ghana, Benin and Togo for industrial applications and power generation.
- The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline moves crude oil from Baku, Azerbaijan, through Georgia to deepwater port facilities in Ceyhan, Turkey.
- The Baku-Supsa pipeline offers a connection between Baku, Azerbaijan, on the Caspian Sea to Supsa in Georgia on the Black Sea.
Chevron's pipeline and terminal operations remain focused on delivering safe, reliable, efficient and flexible services to meet customers' needs.
