June 24 (Reuters) – Chevron Corp (CVX.N) is planning to relocate its global headquarters to a new leased space in California and sell its existing head office in the state, a company spokesperson told Reuters on Friday.
“The current real estate market provides the opportunity to right-size our office space to meet the requirements of our headquarters-based employee population,” the company said in an email.
Chevron is expected to shift its headquarters to the new site during the third quarter of 2023.

The U.S oil company will also cover moving costs for employees who opt to shift to its Texas campus, according to the Wall Street Journal, which reported the move earlier in the day.
The second largest U.S oil producer’s North American upstream operations are based out of Houston, Texas.
Rival Exxon in January also relocated its corporate headquarters from Irving, Texas to its campus north of Houston.

Software Giant Salesforce Offers To Relocate Workers Affected By Texas Abortion Law
Cloud-based software giant Salesforce has told its thousands of employees that it will help relocate them from Texas if they are concerned about obtaining reproductive health care in the wake of the state’s draconian new anti-abortion law.
“As a company, we stand with all of our women at Salesforce and everywhere,” read a Slack message to workers on Friday obtained by CNBC.
The company, headquartered in San Francisco, did not take a specific position on the most restrictive law in the nation, which criminalizes abortions at about six weeks — before most people even realize they’re pregnant.
But the statement noted: “These are incredibly personal issues that directly impact many of us — especially women … With that being said, if you have concerns about access to reproductive healthcare in your state, Salesforce will help relocate you and members of your immediate family.”
Salesforce founder and CEO Marc Benioff later tweeted a link to the CNBC story and added: “Ohana if you want to move we’ll help you exit TX. Your choice.” Ohana is a Hawaiian word meaning family.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) fired back: “Welcome to California.”
About 2,000 people work at Salesforce’s Dallas location, which is one of its 16 operations. Salesforce has some 56,000 employees worldwide.
Benioff announced in 2015 that Salesforce was “dramatically” reducing its investment in Indiana because of the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which customers and workers feared would allow businesses to deny services to LGBTQ people. However, Salesforce boosted its investment in the state the following year after then-Gov. Mike Pence (R) was forced to sign a clarification prohibiting such discrimination.
Salesforce is the latest company to take action over the Texas law. The CEO of the Dallas-based dating app company Match, which also owns Tinder, is establishing a fund for Texas workers who need to leave the state for abortions. And Austin-based dating app Bumble is funding six organizations fighting for reproductive rights and helping women.
In addition, ride-hailing companies Lyft and Uber have pledged to cover the legal expenses of any drivers who get caught up in the Texas law for taking people to abortion clinics. Under the new law, anti-abortion vigilantes can collect a bounty of $10,000 if they successfully sue anyone who “aids or abets” abortion care, including drivers.
Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott (R) claimed in an interview last week that the state’s right-wing policies attract business owners to Texas, though it wasn’t clear if he was including female business owners.
A Forbes poll found that two-thirds of college-educated workers would not live in a state with such a restrictive anti-abortion law.
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Thursday against Texas, arguing that its new anti-abortion law violates the Constitution.

Salesforce offers to help relocate employees in Texas due to new abortion law
Software company Salesforce is offering to help relocate employees in Texas due to the state’s new, restrictive abortion law, the company’s CEO said Friday.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff confirmed the decision on Twitter after it was first reported by CNBC.
“Ohana if you want to move we’ll help you exit TX. Your choice,” Benioff tweeted.
Ohana is a Hawaiian word that means “family.”

The move is the latest in the fallout of Texas’s abortion bill, which took effect this month after the Supreme Court voted in a 5-4 decision to decline to block the law.
The measure, Senate Bill 8, effectively bans most abortions once a “fetal heartbeat” is detected, which normally occurs around six weeks. The bill does not make exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
The bill also allows for private citizens to sue those who aid or abet in abortions in violation of the law.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against Texas on Thursday over the law.
In a note to employees that was obtained by CNBC, Salesforce did not take a stance on the law, but said that it stands with “women at Salesforce and everywhere.”
“These are incredibly personal issues that directly impact many of us — especially women,” the message said. “We recognize and respect that we all have deeply held and different perspectives. As a company, we stand with all of our women at Salesforce and everywhere.”
“With that being said, if you have concerns about access to reproductive healthcare in your state, Salesforce will help relocate you and members of your immediate family,” the note stated.
The Hill has reached out to Salesforce for further comment.
Since S.B. 8 took effect, other companies have announced measures to help women seeking to get abortions in Texas.
Texas-based dating app Bumble created a relief fund that would support women seeking to get an abortion.
Uber and Lyft both said that they will pay legal fees for their drivers if they get sued under the abortion law while using the app.
Countries partner with US to help transport and relocate Americans, at-risk Afghans
State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Friday that a number of countries are working with the United States to help transit and relocate Americans and at-risk Afghan fleeing Afghanistan.
Price noted that Bahrain, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Qatar, Tajikistan, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and Uzbekistan have already or will start “transiting Americans, or in some circumstances others, through their territories to safety.”
He also said that a number of countries had “made generous offers regarding the relocation efforts for at-risk Afghans.” Those countries include Albania, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Mexico, Poland, Qatar, Rwanda, Ukraine and Uganda.
The UAE announced on Friday that it would also be hosting 5,000 Afghans on a temporary basis following a request by the U.S.
“The UAE is always seeking peaceful, multilateral solutions, and is keen to continue its work alongside its international partners to advance efforts to assist the Afghan people during this time of uncertainty,” Sultan Mohammed Al Shamsi with the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation said in a statement.
Price said that around 13,000 people have been evacuated by the U.S. since Saturday, with the military evacuating 5,700 people within the last 24 hours.
Evacuation flights had been temporarily paused on Friday as the processing center in Qatar which was receiving evacuees had reached capacity, though the flights were later resumed after eight hours as officials sought to find countries that might receive evacuation flights from Afghanistan.
Afghans and Americans are seeking to leave the country quickly as anxieties grow amid newly minted rule by the Taliban. Harrowing footage from earlier this week showed Afghans clinging to a U.S. military plane in an effort to leave the country.
President BidenJoe BidenTexas House Dems end standoff, paving way for election overhaul Taliban calls on Afghan Muslim leaders to urge unity amid protests, fleeing citizens State Dept. will not charge for evacuation flights from Afghanistan MORE acknowledged on Friday during an address that the evacuation process out of Afghanistan posed challenges, and he said he could not guarantee the results of the U.S. effort.
“Make no mistake, this evacuation mission is dangerous. It involves risks to our armed forces, and is being conducted under difficult circumstances. I cannot promise what the final outcome will be, or that it will be without risk of loss,” Biden said.
However, the president vowed that the evacuation flights would not stop until Americans and Afghans holding special immigrant visas were out of the country.
How to Watch the ISS Relocate Crew Dragon for Starliner
It’s a busy time at the International Space Station, with not only a new Russian module arriving this week, but also preparations beginning for the orbital test flight of the Boeing Starliner at the end of this month. To prepare for the uncrewed mission’s arrival, the astronauts onboard the station need to relocate the SpaceX Crew Dragon, which is currently docked.
If you want to watch along as the astronauts shuffle around the SpaceX craft, we’ve got the details on how to watch the event live online.
Why the Crew Dragon is relocating
The Crew Dragon needs to be moved around to the space-facing side of the station to make room for the new Boeing Starliner to dock with the station’s forward port. The Starliner will be performing an uncrewed test mission called Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) in preparation for its use as a crew capsule, ferrying astronauts between Earth and the ISS.
The OFT-2 mission is scheduled for launch on July 30, after a series of delays due to both the coronavirus pandemic and other issues. This will be its second orbital flight test, after the first test in December 2019 failed to reach the ISS and subsequent investigations revealed a number of potentially serious issues.
The OFT-2 will be launched on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, and if all goes well, then the first crewed test flight is scheduled for later this year, called the Boeing Crew Flight Test.
How to watch the relocation
The relocation of the Crew Dragon will be shown live on NASA TV. You can watch this channel online either by using the video link embedded at the top of this page or by heading to NASA’s website.
Coverage of the relocation begins at 6:30 a.m. ET (3:30 a.m. PT) on July 21.
Four astronauts will board the Crew Dragon early that morning at 4:30 a.m. ET (1:30 a.m. PT). They will be NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, plus JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet. They will undock the Crew Dragon from the space station’s Harmony module at 6:45 a.m. ET (3:45 a.m. PT).
The astronauts will then move the Crew Dragon over to the station’s space-facing port and re-dock, which is scheduled for 7:32 a.m. ET (4:32 a.m. PT).
