Aera is leading the way in providing the next generation of energy to California through high-tech, lower carbon oil and gas production that aligns with the state’s transition to carbon neutrality. With a vision for providing essential energy to Californians, we are reimagining our carbon journey and place in the state’s energy future.
Our strategy centers on the coexistence of oil and gas with the deployment of lower-carbon energy to reduce emissions, support local economies and create jobs. By safely producing oil and gas here in California while pursuing lower-carbon and renewable energy, we lessen the state’s dependence on imported supplies.
From aspirin to umbrellas and cell phones to surgical equipment, oil and gas play a key role in hundreds of products we use every day. They power our water heaters, kitchen appliances, vehicles, planes, tractors and so much more. Oil and natural gas not only light up our homes and businesses, but heat and cool them too. They are essential to powering our everyday lives.
Without a well-thought-out, pragmatic approach to the energy transition, thousands of everyday products would disappear and our lives would become very challenging.
“Oil and gas are intertwined in the very fabric of Californian’s everyday lives. The clothes we wear, the technology we rely on, and the medical equipment and supplies that keep us healthy and safe - are all made possible thanks in part to oil and gas. In this critical moment in time, where what we do will define California’s energy future, we urge people to get all the facts as we work towards pragmatic energy solutions to keep energy costs in check and better protect our environment. As a California-based company, Aera is committed to doing its part to help the state achieve carbon net neutrality while also reliably providing the affordable energy our communities need every day.”
