Chevron is increasing its exploration activities in Nigeria and Angola, aiming to boost production in regions where output has declined in recent years. Chevron’s Global Exploration Vice President, Liz Schwarze, emphasized the company’s commitment to West Africa, highlighting the area’s untapped potential. “West Africa is such a hydrocarbon-rich part of the world and relatively under-explored compared to other jurisdictions,” Schwarze stated, noting that while some companies are withdrawing, Chevron is actively acquiring new exploration blocks.
