Summary
Chevron Corporation
enterprise legacy
CHEVRON is Chevron Corporation, the American multinational energy company. AS7862 is its corporate network, announcing the company's own address space.
What it's used for
- Chevron's internal and public-facing corporate IT: a single legacy Class B,
146.23.0.0/16, announced as the aggregate plus a long list of more-specifics, together with IPv6 out of2620:16d:1000::/36. - Reverse DNS across the space is a deliberate blank: addresses answer with the placeholder
non-routed-un-exposed-IP.23.146.in-addr.arpa. That is a wildcard PTR designed to reveal nothing about the hosts behind it.
Notable
- This is enterprise address space belonging to a global energy company, spanning offices, refineries and corporate systems worldwide. It is not consumer space and not hosting space, and it should not be geolocated at finer granularity than "Chevron", since a single /16 covers a company with operations on several continents.
- Announcing the /16 alongside dozens of /22s and /23s is normal enterprise traffic engineering: the more-specifics let different sites and services take different paths.
Interesting
- The
non-routed-un-exposed-IPreverse-DNS name is an unusually explicit piece of corporate security hygiene. Most enterprises simply publish no PTR record; Chevron publishes one that says, in effect, there is nothing here for you.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
