February 12, 2025 Michael K. Wirth Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Document 39 Attachment 1 Via E-mail: alexander.fitzsimmonsghq.doe.gov The Honorable Christopher Wright Secretary of Energy U.S. Department of Energy 1000 Independence Ave SW Washington, DC 20585 Dear Secretary Wright: Congratulations on your confirmation to be Secretary of Energy. 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. This year, 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 U.S. 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 v.
