# Chevron Pacific Indonesia: A Legacy of Energy Excellence and New Career Opportunities
Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI), formerly known as Caltex Pacific Indonesia, stands as a cornerstone of the nation’s energy sector. Since its inception in 1924, the company has grown into Indonesia's largest oil contractor, boasting a historical production record of over 2 billion barrels. With operations historically centered in the Riau hubs of Dumai, Duri, Minas, and Rumbai, the company has been instrumental in shaping the regional economy.
A Rich Historical Foundation
The origins of the company date back to the early 20th century when the Standard Oil Company of California (Socal) and the Texas Oil Company (Texaco) established a joint venture known as N.V. Nederlandsche Pacific Petroleum Maatschappij (NPPM). While early exploration efforts faced challenges, a major breakthrough occurred in 1944. Geologists Richard H. Hopper and Toru Oki discovered the Minas oil field—the largest in Southeast Asia. This field is renowned for producing the high-quality, low-sulfur Sumatra Light Crude (SLC).
