    The second-largest U.S. oil producer said its partnership
with Hokkaido Gas will broaden its customer base in Japan, a
market that is foundational to Chevron's LNG business.
    The deal enables Chevron in "diversifying energy solutions
and advancing a lower carbon future in the Hokkaido area," said
John Kuehn, president of Chevron Global Gas, a division of
Chevron U.S.A.
