• Chevron Argentina operates the El Trapial oil field located in Neuquén province about 615 miles (990km) southwest of Buenos Aires.
• During safety maintenance activities in 2012 to replace wooden power poles and other equipment damaged by high-wind storms, our workers reported seeing large nests built on some of the power poles.
• The nests’ location on the crossarms of the power poles posed a risk to the raptors inhabiting them.

El Trapial’s operations are powered by electricity fed from Argentina’s National Interconnected System. There are two power plants with turbo generators and more than 155 miles (250 km) of medium-voltage power lines.
