Chevron moving New Orleans HQ to north suburban Covington
NEW ORLEANS — Chevron is relocating its Gulf of Mexico Business Unit from the CBD to the suburban North Shore. Plans call for construction of a new office building in North Park Business Center in Covington and to move 500 New Orleans employees as early as summer 2007.
“This location is a result of the company’s decision to remain in the greater
New Orleans area rather than consolidate outside the state,” said Carmichael. This decision positions the company for near and long-term sustained operations in the Gulf of Mexico.”
He said Chevron looked at numerous alternatives, which included consolidating Lafayette and New Orleans locations somewhere out of state. He said a seven-month study determined it was best to remain close to Gulf operations and retain the Lafayette location.
Chevron is under contract for 20 acres in the North Park Business
Center in Covington, which is near the residences of about half the New Orleans office employees, according to Carmichael.
