Chevron USA is the only oil company still operating its own fleet of offshore helicopters in the Gulf of Mexico. The maintenance base moved from New Orleans Lakefront to Picayune (KMJD) after Hurricane Katrina. One of its long-time helicopter bases was the Chevron Heliport (8LA1) located on Tidewater Road in Venice, Louisiana at the southern end of Highway 23. The office is 12+ ft above the ground to protect it from hurricane storm surges. An AW139, Bell 429 and two Bell LongRangers were based there in 2015. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
