You’ll also see how its messaging around Higher Returns, Lower Carbon and Human energy, dividend growth, sustainability reporting, and policy advocacy supports its brand, while commodity-linked pricing, Brent exposure, and volatile downstream and retail margins shape its revenue logic and customer reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChevron Corporation - Marketing Mix: Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct area\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReal-life number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct data\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrude oil and natural gas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.12 million\u003c\/strong\u003e barrels of oil equivalent per day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNet production in 2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLNG from Australian assets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15.6\u003c\/strong\u003e million tonnes per year and \u003cstrong\u003e8.9\u003c\/strong\u003e million tonnes per year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGorgon and Wheatstone nameplate LNG capacity; combined \u003cstrong\u003e24.5\u003c\/strong\u003e million tonnes per year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLNG trains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e2\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGorgon has \u003cstrong\u003e3\u003c\/strong\u003e LNG trains; Wheatstone has \u003cstrong\u003e2\u003c\/strong\u003e LNG trains\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRefined fuels and marketing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4\u003c\/strong\u003e refineries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEl Segundo, Richmond, Pascagoula, Singapore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLubricants and additives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2\u003c\/strong\u003e core product streams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFuel additives and lubricant additives\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRenewable diesel and biorefineries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9\u003c\/strong\u003e biorefineries; \u003cstrong\u003e502\u003c\/strong\u003e million gallons per year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRenewable Energy Group portfolio at acquisition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCCS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4\u003c\/strong\u003e million tonnes per year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGorgon CCS design injection capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrude oil and natural gas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChevron Corporation’s core product is upstream hydrocarbons.
