Chevron Corporation owns and operates a plant in Le Havre, France. This plant is part of Oronite, which is a subsidiary of the Corporation. Oronite employs more than 2,000 people worldwide in a global organization comprising three regional operations with sales networks that extend to local markets.

Oronite develops and markets quality additives, lubricants and chemicals that improve the performance of fuels and lubricants. As with all our facilities, our plant in Le Havre, Gonfreville, France is required to follow a strict program for inspection of the piping systems. To help meet the world’s growing demand for energy, Chevron has actively pursued a strategy to selectively develop technologies through the collaborative efforts of industry, universities, research institutions and governments.

Forming strategic partnerships, alliances, and research agreements as well as establishing centres of research excellence has helped Chevron to facilitate broad access to innovative technologies outside the energy industry. By working with national science laboratories, research centres and universities, we have benefited from technologies that can be quickly adapted to oil, gas and other energy operations as well as exposure to highly-talented scientists and researchers who bring new perspectives to the field.
