Chevron CEO Mike Wirth - Gastech 2024 Keynote

You speak with such wisdom and hope, Mr Wirth!

Respectful Greetings!
To: Chevron Renewables.
Chevron CEO and Chairman Mike Wirth highlighted the need for natural gas during his keynote address at the Gastech 2024 conference. I particularly commend his views on the importance of natural gas for electricity production.

Gas currently plays an important role in electricity generation and is the largest single source of electricity generation. It’s currently used for flexibility and resilience, so it is important to manage the inevitable reduction of gas for generation carefully.

Natural gas has many advantages as a fuel for electric power generation. Although cogenerators seem well aware of the advantages of gas, as it is the fuel of choice for more than 50% of planned non-utility generating capacity in the USA and Canada, electric utilities have not yet embraced gas use for new power plants.

How do we find natural gas?
The search for natural gas begins with geologists who study the structure and processes of the earth. They locate the types of geologic formations that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.

Geologists often use seismic surveys on land and in the ocean to find the right places to drill natural gas and oil wells. Seismic surveys create and measure seismic waves in the earth to get information on the geology of rock formations. Seismic surveys on land may use a thumper truck, which has a vibrating pad that pounds the ground to create seismic waves in the underlying rock. Sometimes, small amounts of explosives are used. Seismic surveys conducted in the ocean use blasts of sound that create sonic waves to explore the geology beneath the ocean floor.

If the results of seismic surveys indicate that a site has potential for producing natural gas, an exploratory well is drilled and tested. The results of the test provide information on the quality and quantity of natural gas available in the resource.

What happens when natural gas is found?
If the results from a test well show that a geologic formation has enough natural gas to make a profit, one or more production (or development) wells are drilled. Natural gas wells can be drilled vertically and horizontally into natural gas-bearing formations. In conventional natural gas deposits, the natural gas generally flows easily up through wells to the surface.

In the United States and in a few other countries, natural gas is produced from shale and other types of sedimentary rock formations by forcing water, chemicals, and sand down a well under high pressure. This process, called hydraulic fracturing or fracking (sometimes referred to as unconventional production), breaks up the formation, releases the natural gas from the rock, and allows the natural gas to flow to and up wells to the surface. At the top of the well, natural gas is collected in gathering pipelines and sent to natural gas processing plants.

Natural gas reforming is an advanced and mature production process that builds upon the existing natural gas pipeline delivery infrastructure. Today, 95% of the hydrogen produced in the United States is made by natural gas reforming in large central plants. This is an important technology pathway for near-term hydrogen production.

Bible Lesson:
Psalm 85: 1-9
You have shown favor, O Jehovah, to your land;
You brought back those of Jacob who were taken captive.
2 You have pardoned the error of your people;
You forgave all their sin.(Selah)
3 You held back all your fury;
You turned away from your hot anger.
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation,
And set aside your displeasure with us.
5 Will you be furious with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to generation after generation?
6 Will you not revive us again
So that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show your loyal love to us, O Jehovah,
And grant us your salvation.
8 I will listen to what the true God Jehovah says,
For he will speak peace to his people, to his loyal ones,
But let them not return to overconfidence.
9 Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
So that his glory may reside in our land.

Cleaner energy that drives human progress!

Obligingly!

Good afternoon M.r Wirth ❤

👔✒

Mke looks sharp! Love to know his suit brand!

Well said! Changing the conversation on lower carbon solutions enables cooperation to develop multiple methods to reduce carbon emissions and promote economic expansion for all nations. Hydrocarbons, especially natural gas, will support the transition to lower carbon economy.

Plss pay Bangladeshi worker's money 💰 all most 10 year done but Chevron don't pay there worker's money

Excellent speech, much appreciated.

Excellent 👌👌

Very good CEO Mike !

i love polluting the environment and not paying for it.

You will pay for everything you've done

Boy boy made u look so bad today 🙌🤣🤣🤣

Me a bit more of you

Look up Steven Donziger, he needs our support

Revoke Venezuela’s Chevron General License immediately!

The face of greed and polution for some quick and easy bucks. You go man, youre doing amazing

Get out of Kazakhstan faster! All countries should exchange dollars for gold like Charles de Gaulle did! Where are our gold bars?

great guy, great company
