View from the Top: David J. O'Reilly: Additional Reading

 

Less than a year after taking office as the new chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Chevron Corporation, David J. O'Reilly in late 2000 engineered his company's merger with Texaco Inc. The merger created the second-largest integrated U.S. oil company, a far-flung international enterprise with interests in more than 180 countries. O'Reilly, who took over the reins of the newly created ChevronTexaco Corporation as chairman and CEO, presided over one of the world's most competitive energy companies. In addition to its primary concentration in oil and gas, including exploration, production, refining, marketing, and transportation, ChevronTexaco was heavily involved in energy generation and the manufacturing and marketing of chemicals. The company, second only to ExxonMobil in the United States, in early 2004 boasted worldwide reserves of nearly 13 billion barrels of oil and gas equivalent and daily production of approximately 2.5 million barrels.
