70 years of partnership in Angola

The Angola Liquefied Natural Gas (ALNG) Project was the world's first LNG plant supplied with associated gas. It is one of the largest projects on the African continent and the first LNG project in Angola. With the capacity to process 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, the ALNG plant helps Chevron meet the global demand for natural gas.

Today, Chevron is testing emerging technology offshore Angola, both under the sea and in the sky. These new tools are meant to help solve geological challenges, increase efficiency and help reduce carbon intensity.

For example, in 2020, Chevron piloted tiny remote-operated vehicles for the first time to help inspect underwater platform structures offshore Angola. In 2022, the company launched a drone campaign to find and help minimize methane emissions on its Mafumeira Sul Platform.

Last year, Chevron New Energies and the government of Angola signed a memorandum of understanding to explore lower carbon intensity business opportunities.
