Tokyo Gas purchases Chevron’s Texas gas assets for $525 million
- On March 31, 2025, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation, announced the sale of a 70% stake in its East Texas gas assets to an affiliate of TG Natural Resources LLC for $525 million.
- Chevron's sale of its East Texas gas assets aligns with its plan to divest $10-15 billion of assets by 2028 and optimize its global energy portfolio, while also allowing for accelerated development of a non-core asset.
- The $525 million deal includes $75 million in cash and a $450 million capital carry to fund Haynesville development, with Chevron retaining a 30% non-operated working interest and an overriding royalty interest.
- TGNR Chief Executive Craig Jarchow stated that the considerable operational overlap between the Chevron acreage and the legacy TGNR acreage will allow TGNR to realize synergies of over $170 million during the asset's development.
- The acquisition of the stake marks Tokyo Gas's expansion in the U.S. Gas business, with the possibility of exporting shale gas to Japan in the form of liquefied natural gas in the future, aligning with both countries' aim to strengthen energy security.
