Union Oil Company of California, and its holding company Unocal Corporation, together known as Unocal/ˈjuːnoʊkæl/ was a major petroleum explorer and marketer in the late 19th century, through the 20th century, and into the early 21st century. It was headquartered in El Segundo, California, United States.[2][3]
Unocal was involved in domestic and global energy projects. Unocal was one of the key players in the CentGas consortium, which attempted to build the Trans-Afghanistan Pipeline to run from the Caspian area, through Afghanistan, to the Indian Ocean, at a time after the Taliban siege of Kabul in 1996.
On August 10, 2005, Unocal merged its entire upstream petroleum business with Chevron[1] and became a wholly-owned subsidiary.[4] Unocal then ceased operations as an independent company, but continues to conduct many operations as Union Oil Company of California, a Chevron company.
