Chevron is all set to establish a $1 billion engineering and innovation centre in India to tap the country’s engineering and technology talent to support its global operations and projects, said the Company's India head Akshay Sahni said.

The Chevron Engineering and Innovation Excellence Center (ENGINE) in Bengaluru is not a back office but a centre that will do works ranging from understanding geology for oil and gas production and carbon storage to developing digital twins for oil refineries and advanced process monitoring to improve supply reliability, he said on the sidelines of the India Energy Week.

It will be the company’s largest centre outside of the US.

“ENGINE is a state-of-the-art technology hub to support Chevron’s global projects and operations. This is where we plan to build a diverse and inclusive workforce that will deliver technology solutions to support affordable, reliable and ever-cleaner energy for a growing world,” Akshay said.
