Chevron Moving HQ from CA to Houston

In what is becoming a common theme, Chevron Corporation announced the relocation of its headquarters from California to Houston, Texas. Exxon moved its headquarters to Houston just over a year ago. Their combined assets exceed $5 billion.

Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth and Vice Chairman Mark Nelson will move to Houston before the end of 2024 to co-locate with other senior leaders and enable better collaboration and engagement with executives, employees, and business partners. 

Other employees currently based in San Ramon will experience minimal immediate relocation impacts. The company expects all corporate functions to migrate to Houston over the next five years, but positions supporting the company’s California operations will remain in San Ramon. 

Chevron currently has roughly 7,000 employees in the Houston area and approximately 2,000 employees in San Ramon. The company operates crude oil fields, technical facilities, and two refineries and supplies more than 1,800 retail stations in California.
