Some turbines can be used to capture the energy of wind or power an airplane, but Chevron’s specialized fleet

of gas turbines help to power our projects all over the world. From deepwater to remote desert terrain, turbines

are a reliable source of energy in many of Chevron's most critical operations.

When paired with a generator, turbines produce enough electricity to make many

upstream and downstream processes self-su�cient.

Turbines also connect to compressors and use mechanical energy to drive our natural gas liquefaction, ships, and sour gas injection.

Exhaust from a heavy duty turbine can be as hot as 900˚F. A heat recovery steam generator

uses that waste heat to generate steam for Enhanced Oil Recovery and

refining processes.

what turbines do

Air is drawn into the gas

turbine and is filtered and

compressed.

The compressed air is mixed with

natural gas and delivered to the

combustor for ignition.

The hot combustion gas

expands across the turbine

stages to turn the shaft.

The resulting energy can

be used to power various

processes.
