Jay LeJeune likes a challenge. That's why he signed up to be part of the Bayou Bend CCS LLC (Bayou Bend) team.

Bayou Bend, a joint venture between Chevron, Equinor and TotalEnergies SE, is a carbon dioxide (CO2) transportation and storage project in Southeast Texas. It aims to help industries in the region make strides toward their lower carbon goals.

The team has already reached key milestones including drilling the project's onshore and offshore stratigraphic wells. These wells supplied key data about the subsurface area-data that's helpful in determining whether the conditions are right for storing CO2. The intent is for Bayou Bend to be a hub of CO2 storage for industries in the area.

"It's exciting to use our expertise in areas where we have a longstanding history of helping industries and customers that use our products. We're leveraging proven methods that have the potential to make a positive impact at scale," said LeJeune, Chevron's commercial advisor for the Bayou Bend project. "Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is a tool in the toolkit to support U.S. energy competitiveness."
