Columbia, Ill., June 15, 2007 — Yokogawa and MAVERICK Technologies announced today that their joint alliance has been selected as the main automation and control contractor for Chevron’s global refineries in a long-term agreement. During this time frame, Chevron intends to strengthen operations and reliability at its eight wholly owned refineries by standardizing and modernizing the process automation and control infrastructure.

The YMAC scope includes validation of design specifications, field instrumentation, Integrated Process Control and Safety Systems design and implementation, asset optimization and advanced applications.
