Chevron is a global, integrated energy company whose purpose is to provide affordable, reliable, and ever-cleaner energy to enable human progress. With a history of more than 140 years, Chevron operates across the full energy value chain, including exploration and production, refining, marketing, petrochemicals, and emerging lower‑carbon solutions. The company leverages advanced technology, digitalization, and robotics to enhance safety, operational efficiency, and environmental performance.
Chevron Corporation is headquartered in Houston, Texas, and operates worldwide. The company serves global energy markets through upstream oil and gas production, downstream refining and marketing, liquefied natural gas (LNG), chemicals, and growing investments in digital and lower‑carbon energy technologies across North America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia‑Pacific.
Chevron has achieved large‑scale deployment of robotics and autonomous inspection technologies across its operations. A standout example is the use of robotic systems for in‑service tank inspection and cleaning. These solutions significantly reduce confined‑space entry, improve data quality, shorten outage durations, and enhance worker safety. Since 2024, Chevron’s robotics initiatives have delivered tens of millions of dollars in savings while eliminating more than one hundred thousand at‑risk work hours.
Chevron values industry collaboration as a key accelerator for the adoption of inspection and maintenance robotics. Participation in the SPRINT Robotics Collaborative supports Chevron’s commitment to sharing lessons learned, aligning on standards, and advancing robotics from pilot programs to routine, scalable operations across capital‑intensive infrastructure.
In 2024, the Chevron Tank Robotics team received a Digital Program Award recognizing the successful development and scaled deployment of robotic technologies for in‑service tank inspection and cleaning. The award highlights the team’s ability to translate innovations into measurable operational value by improving safety, increasing inspection data quality, and delivering significant cost and schedule efficiencies across Chevron facilities.
Chevron has published several publicly available assets that showcase its robotics program, including articles and videos highlighting robotic tank inspections, autonomous drones, and quadruped inspection robots used across refineries and facilities.
SPRINT may wish to include the following publicly available Chevron materials:
