In July 2026, Ryder Booth appeared on The Energy Tailgate podcast with host Tanner Foust, recorded in the Permian Basin. During the episode, Booth discussed Chevron’s technology and innovation efforts, including the development of 20K technology for deep-water operations and the use of advanced chemicals to improve oil and gas flow in existing wells. He noted that the Permian Basin produces approximately 6 to 7 million barrels per day but that only about 10% of the molecules are recovered, with the remainder still in the ground, and he described this as an opportunity for future technological advancement. Booth also addressed the role of artificial intelligence in creating new opportunities for unlocking energy sources, while emphasizing that all forms of energy are needed to meet global demand. He highlighted the energy density and mobility of oil-derived fuels as strengths in the energy marketplace, and discussed remote monitoring and drone use at Chevron’s Integrated Operations Center for leak detection and operational oversight.
