Louisiana’s energy industry doesn’t just power our state—it stands with the men and women who have served our nation.

This month, Shell Norco volunteers visited the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Home, raising the American flag and the flags of every U.S. military branch in honor of the heroes who sacrificed for our freedom.

At sites like Norco, veterans are essential to the workforce. Their discipline, leadership, and commitment strengthen our teams, our communities, and our state.

To every veteran across Louisiana and beyond: thank you for your service, your sacrifice, and your continued impact on the industries that keep America strong.

Thanksgiving is about coming together, and Chevron is helping make that possible for thousands of Louisiana families.

At last year's Catholic Charities of Southwest Louisiana annual holiday food distribution, Chevron’s support helped put 2,300 turkeys into the hands of local families, bringing comfort, stability, and a little more joy to the holiday table.

In a region where the energy industry is woven into everyday life, Chevron continues to show what real community leadership looks like—stepping up, giving back, and standing with the families who call SWLA home.

This season, we’re grateful for the people and partners who keep Louisiana strong, on and off the job.

Oil and gas reserves in our waters have plummeted, energy jobs are down, and state royalties are half of what they once were. These coastal lawsuits are taking jobs, wages, and opportunities from Louisiana families.

When Doc Laborde built the Mr. Charlie, the world’s first transportable and submersible drilling rig, he began a family tradition rooted in innovation and hard work.

His nephew Ted followed in his footsteps, working aboard the rig as a teenager and learning what it meant to be part of Louisiana’s energy legacy. Decades later, that same spirit continues to run through the Laborde family and through the communities that keep Louisiana moving forward.
