shale and tight
poised for growth in the kaybob duvernay
Chevron Canada is unlocking the potential of the Duvernay resource play in the Kaybob region, approximately 260 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, Alberta. This unconventional, liquids-rich formation provides access to Canadian condensate and natural gas liquids.
Referred to as a source rock, the Duvernay holds hydrocarbons in small, pressurized pores within the formation at a depth up to 4,000 metres. Through safe and proven horizontal drilling and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing technologies, together with industry best practices and regulations, we are responsibly developing and producing these resources across our 245,000 net acres.
