Chevron is working at the frontier of ultra-deepwater technology and has set world records for test equipment, pressure, depth and duration. This platform is destined for the Blind Faith Field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico where it will be placed in approximately 6,500 feet (1,981 meters) of water and produce at depths of more than 24,000 feet (7,315 meters). Blind Faith is one of a number of deepwater projects that Chevron and partners are developing. Overall, we have approximately 40 crude oil and natural gas projects planned or in development, each representing a Chevron investment of $1 billion or more.
