Abstract
The growing demand for cleaner fuels has created a new energy economy that will underpin the growth and prosperity of our planet. Massive investment is required in the energy sector to satisfy this increasing demand.
Reliably supplied and affordable energy is vital to economic development, however, our challenge is to continue to safely and responsibly deliver energy while finding newer, smarter, cleaner ways to power the world.
Chevron is developing new technologies to deliver cleaner natural gas and other forms of conventional fuels more efficiently while cultivating the renewable and alternative energy solutions of tomorrow.
In Australia, our industry finds itself in an energy sweet spot—surrounded by abundant natural gas resources, the cleanest of the fossil fuels, and on the doorstep of the world’s biggest and fastest growing market: the Asia Pacific region.
Projects such as the Chevron-operated Gorgon and Wheatstone natural gas developments in Western Australia are helping drive the new energy economy, creating thousands of jobs and fuelling growth and prosperity for Australia.
Roy Krzywosinski is the managing director of Chevron Australia and head of the Australasia Strategic Business Unit, located in Perth, Western Australia. The Australasia Strategic Business Unit is responsible for Chevron’s upstream interests and activities in Australia. This includes the oil production operation on Barrow and Thevenard Island, interests in the North West Shelf Venture, and the development of the Greater Gorgon and Wheatstone gas fields in Australia.
