Chevron marks a milestone in the US Gulf of Mexico
In June, the Chevron-operated Tahiti Field produced its 500 millionth barrel of oil equivalent, enough oil to power 11.5 million homes for one year.

Chevron’s Tahiti Platform, recognizable by its spar, is about 190 miles off the coast of Louisiana.
Chevron started production at Tahiti in 2009. However, maintaining a high level of output there has required extensive development over the past 15 years. This has included projects involving water injection, infill drilling and new reservoir drilling. Most recently, Chevron has started injecting water into its first deepwater Gulf injection wells that have been converted from production wells. With these upgrades in place, Tahiti could continue producing through approximately 2045.
The global need for energy is growing, and Chevron is working to meet that need through ongoing oil and gas production. Oil and gas produced by Chevron in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico are among the lowest carbon-intensity barrels in the industry.
Tahiti is among six offshore platforms operated by Chevron in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. That figure includes Chevron’s newest addition, Anchor, which achieved first oil in August.
Chevron’s U.S. Gulf of Mexico production, including contributions from projects at Tahiti, Jack/St. Malo and Anchor, is expected to reach 300,000 net barrels of oil-equivalent per day by 2026. That’s an increase of more than 50% over 2020 levels.
