February 12, 2025 Chevron Michael K. Wirth Chairman and Chief Executive Officer The Honorable Lee Zeldin Administrator U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator Zeldin: Congratulations on your confirmation to be Administrator of the Environment Protection Agency. I look forward to working with you to address critical energy issues and drive economic growth in every corner of the country. U.S. energy policy should balance economic prosperity, energy security, and environmental protection. At Chevron, we strive to meet the world's growing energy demand while reducing emissions. We believe that energy security is national security, and the United States should play a key role in providing affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy now and in the future. Chevron has a long-term commitment to safely operating in the United States. In 2024, we achieved record production in the Permian Basin and celebrated the first oil from our technologically advanced Anchor project in the deepwater Gulf of America. Energy demand is projected to continue to rise from current record highs well into the future and Chevron will meet that demand by continuing to increase production from our operations across the United States. Chevron stands ready to assist you and your staff in developing balanced energy policies. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly or to our Vice President of Government Affairs, Karen Knutson, at (202) 408-5858 or karenknutson@chevron.com, if we can provide any information or further partnership. I hope to meet with you in person when I am in Washington, D.C. in the future. Sincerely, Chevron Corporation 1400 Smith Street, Houston, TX 77002 Tel 925 842 3661 Sierra Club FOIA Request: 2025-EPA-04193 ED_018475D_00002934-00001 SC_EVERSPLIT0007317
