Where is Chevron headquartered?

Chevron completed its corporate headquarters relocation from San Ramon, California (where it had been based since 2002) to Houston, Texas in late 2024. The company now occupies the 50-story, 1.25 million-square-foot tower at 1400 Smith Street in downtown Houston, connected by a circular pedestrian glass walkway to the 40-story, 1.2 million-square-foot tower at 1500 Louisiana Street. A $66.5 million renovation of the 1500 Louisiana Street tower is planned, signaling a long-term commitment to Texas.

Houston is home to roughly 7,000 Chevron employees as of 2025, making it by far the largest concentration of corporate staff. The move was announced in August 2024 and reflects Chevron's strategic alignment with the broader U.S. energy industry ecosystem concentrated in Houston — proximity to deepwater Gulf of Mexico operations, oilfield-services vendors, energy-finance capital, and the largest concentration of petroleum engineers in the country.

San Ramon, California retains approximately 1,500 employees following workforce reductions in 2025 (600 workers eliminated in spring 2025, 68 additional in October 2025); it continues to support California Upstream and corporate functions that serve the state. In the U.S., Chevron maintains significant operational offices in Midland, TX (Permian Basin, now producing over 1 million BOE/day), New Orleans, LA (Gulf of Mexico), and other producing regions.

Internationally, Chevron's most significant country offices are in Almaty and Atyrau, Kazakhstan (supporting the Tengizchevroil joint venture, in which Chevron holds 50%, and the newly ramping Future Growth Project); Perth, Australia (hub for the Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG operations); Lagos and Warri, Nigeria (40% working interest in eight onshore/near-offshore concessions); Luanda, Angola (deepwater JV operations); and Singapore (Asia-Pacific regional hub). London serves as the European and trading hub. In total, Chevron maintains offices and operations across more than 30 countries.

For enterprise vendors and field sales teams, Chevron's geographic concentration creates clear territory priorities. Houston is the single most important city: executive buying authority, corporate IT, finance, legal, and new-energies strategy all sit here, making it the right location for executive briefings, field events, and account-based marketing. A Houston-based account executive with C-suite access is the non-negotiable starting point for any enterprise deal.

Secondary territories warranting dedicated coverage include: San Ramon (California Upstream and residual corporate functions), Midland/Odessa (Permian Basin operational purchasing — the hub for a 1-million-BOE/day operation with active efficiency technology procurement), and Singapore (Asia-Pacific regional deals). For oilfield-services, data, and operational-technology vendors, presence in Almaty (Tengiz — the FGP ramp toward 1 million BOE/day total creates multi-year services demand) and Perth (Gorgon/Wheatstone LNG) can unlock large multi-year contracts outside the Houston corporate-procurement process. Nigeria and Angola are active procurement markets for deepwater services but typically require local-content partnership structures under host-country regulations.
