ChevronTexaco

ChevronTexaco Corporation was a multinational energy company created in 2001 by the merger of Chevron Corporation and Texaco. The merger combined their upstream, downstream, and chemicals businesses, making the new company one of the world’s largest integrated oil companies. The company was headquartered in San Ramon, California, and conducted operations through a network of exploration, production, refining, and marketing activities worldwide. Under the ChevronTexaco banner, the combined group pursued asset modernization, efficiency improvements, and a broad retail strategy across the Chevron and Texaco brands.

In markets around the world, ChevronTexaco operated refineries, pipelines, and marketing networks, supplying gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, and chemicals. The company also pursued alternative energy and environmental initiatives, consistent with the wider industry transition.

In 2005, the corporation rebranded to Chevron Corporation, ending the ChevronTexaco corporate name. The Chevron and Texaco brands continued to be used in various markets for retail operations, with the corporate identity consolidated under Chevron. The business remained listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CVX. The ChevronTexaco merger is regarded as a significant consolidation in the oil industry in the early 2000s, influencing industry structure and competitive dynamics.
