Anyone know who owns unocal?
Seems Unocal merged with Chevron
On aug 10th 2005 Chevron Corporation today announced that it has completed its merger with Unocal Corporation.
"Unocal’s key areas of operations in the Asia-Pacific and Caspian regions, and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, make a strong strategic fit with Chevron’s existing core areas of operations. In the Asia-Pacific region, which is anticipated to be one of the world’s strongest economic growth areas, the combined company will generate more than 20 percent of its equivalent daily crude oil and natural gas production. The company will also be a leading resource holder in this region."

"FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 7, 2006 -- Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) today announced that the team of Chevron Energy Solutions and Keenan Development will build and operate a $100 million central utility plant to provide secure energy to the National Interagency Biodefense Campus (NIBC) under construction at the United States Army's Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland.
This is the largest of many federal projects that Chevron Energy Solutions, a Chevron subsidiary, has developed in support of government efforts to improve energy reliability and efficiency at federal facilities nationwide.
The plant will be the first energy project established through the Department of Defense's enhanced-use leasing authority, which allows private companies to develop non-excess military property"
