Chevron in Brazil

Chevron has a historical presence in Brazil, primarily operating in oil and natural gas exploration and production. The company started its operations in the country in the early 20th century and has participated in various offshore exploration projects over the years. One of Chevron’s main assets in Brazil was the Frade Field, located in the Campos Basin, where the company operated with significant participation. This deepwater oil field is situated approximately 370 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

In recent years, Chevron has been adjusting its portfolio in the country, selling stakes in some assets to optimize its global operations. Despite reducing its direct presence in certain projects, the company remains committed to the Brazilian market, seeking opportunities that align with its business strategy. Chevron upholds its commitment to safe and environmentally responsible operational practices, adhering to strict international and local standards across all its activities in Brazil.
