Chevron Targets European LNG Growth With Regasification Plans

Chevron Corporation CVX is in early talks to invest in European regasification terminals, signaling a strong move to expand its presence in the region’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. With Europe sharply reducing Russian pipeline gas imports since 2022, the continent has leaned heavily on LNG, making the company’s interest both timely and strategic.

Security & Infrastructure at the Core

Chevron’s global gas president emphasized that regasification is not just about business — it’s tied to Europe’s national security. The company is evaluating both existing and new regasification infrastructure, underscoring the need for capacity to meet the continent’s rising demand.

Chevron’s Expansion Beyond Europe

Chevron’s LNG strategy extends beyond Europe. The company is actively developing options in the Eastern Mediterranean, including potential floating LNG projects linked to the Leviathan gas field. This field already supplies natural gas to Egypt and Jordan, supporting regional energy needs.

Building a Global LNG Portfolio

Chevron has secured long-term agreements from major U.S. LNG players like Energy Transfer, Cheniere and Venture Global LNG. With assets across Asia Pacific, the Eastern Mediterranean, West Africa, the Permian and the U.S. Gulf Coast, CVX sees long-term value in its diverse portfolio, positioning itself as a stronger player in the global LNG market.
