雪佛龙加拿大有限公司于 4 月 13 日宣布，将自愿放弃 19 个海上石油和天然气许可证，以继续致力于加拿大政府的国际海洋保护目标。

这些许可证与联邦海洋保护区重叠，覆盖不列颠哥伦比亚省近海斯科特群岛国家野生动物保护区以及赫卡特海峡和夏洛特皇后海峡海绵礁海洋保护区内约 5,700 平方公里的面积。

雪佛龙加拿大公司总裁 Christopher Mazerolle 表示：“雪佛龙正在不断评估其产品组合，并自 2020 年以来一直与加拿大自然资源部保持沟通，寻求为加拿大政府的国际海洋保护目标做出贡献的机会。” “85 年来，我们一直安全、负责任地开发加拿大陆上和海上石油和天然气资源，并继续致力于提供加拿大所需的负担得起、更加清洁的能源。”

雪佛龙加拿大公司总部位于艾伯塔省，开发加拿大能源资源，并拥有艾伯塔省油砂项目和页岩气面积以及纽芬兰和拉布拉多近海勘探与生产项目的权益。 

Chevron Canada Ltd. announced on April 13 it is voluntarily relinquishing 19 offshore oil and gas permits in an effort to remain committed to the Government of Canada’s international marine conservation targets.

The permits overlap federal marine-protected areas, covering an estimated 5,700 sq km offshore British Columbia within the Scott Islands marine National Wildlife Area and the Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound Glass Sponge Reefs Marine Protected Area.

"Chevron is continually assessing its portfolio and has been in communication with Natural Resources Canada since 2020 on the opportunity to contribute to the Government of Canada's international marine conservation targets," said Christopher Mazerolle, president of Chevron Canada. "We have been safely and responsibly developing Canada's onshore and offshore oil and gas resources for 85 years, and remain committed to providing the affordable, ever-cleaner energy Canada needs."

Headquartered in Alberta, Chevron Canada develops Canadian energy resources and has interests in oil sands projects and shale gas acreage in Alberta, as well as E&P projects offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
