Chevron Corporation

Chevron finds and pumps crude oil and natural gas out of the ground, then either sells it or processes it into products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that consumers and businesses use every day. They also make chemicals and plastics from petroleum, transport oil and gas through pipelines and ships, and are developing newer technologies like carbon capture and renewable fuels.

Chevron is one of the world's largest oil and gas companies, operating everything from drilling oil wells to refining gasoline and running gas stations. The company has been around since 1879 and employs about 43,000 people, with operations spanning North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

Chevron is financially stable with strong cash generation, but revenue declined last year and profitability is moderate for its size.
