Chevron is reportedly planning to divest its oil and gas assets in the Eagle Ford Basin in the US state of Texas, a move that will further streamline its upstream operations.

The company estimates that the total proved developed resources in the marked assets will be worth around $1bn, considering oil and gas prices at $70 and $4 respectively. This will value the divestment at around $3.8bn, the news agency added citing the marketing document.
Chevron’s Eagle Ford assets include an area of around 30,440 net acres. The company received this portfolio as part of its acquisition of Noble Energy last year.
This year, the assets delivered a net production of 30,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day, of which 45% were natural gas.
Sources told Reuters that Chevron may receive bids between $1bn and $2bn for the assets.
