Chevron’s Boeing Business Jet touches down in the Permian Basin the week executives tout efficiency gains

Chevron flew its Boeing Business Jet N884GL on a brief six-minute hop over southeastern New Mexico on June 4, arriving at Cavern City Air Terminal near Carlsbad. The flight followed earlier legs connecting Houston-area airports to the Permian Basin, including a Houston-to-Midland trip earlier that day.

The same week, Chevron executives reiterated plans to hold Permian production flat at just over 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day while driving efficiency gains, per an [Oil & Gas Journal](https://ogj.com/general-interest/companies/news/55354357/chevron-eyeing-7-10-output-growth-lots-more-efficiency-gains-in-26) report on the company’s 2026 outlook. The Permian, along with Bakken assets, remains a key contributor to Chevron’s overall production strategy.

Chevron’s heavy fleet often shuttles leadership between Houston headquarters and field operations in the Gulf of Mexico and Permian. This week’s pattern — a Houston-to-Midland hop followed by a local flight near Carlsbad — reflects the company’s hands-on approach to managing its sprawling onshore portfolio.
