Chevron Corp. has named Jeff Shellebarger as president of Chevron North America Exploration & Production Co., effective Aug. 1. Shellebarger succeeds Gary Luquette, who will retire from Chevron after 35 years of service.
Currently Shellebarger is managing director of Chevron’s IndoAsia business unit. Since joining Chevron in 1980, he has held a variety of upstream positions in the US, Angola, and Indonesia.
