Division 'B' Office Heliport

The heliport was closed due to economic reasons and corporate restructuring. Its owner, Chevron USA Inc., conducted a major consolidation of its Gulf of Mexico business operations. The company relocated hundreds of employees from its regional offices, including the one in Houma, to a new, centralized campus in Covington, Louisiana. This move made the dedicated heliport at the Division 'B' office redundant, leading to its closure.

The site remains a Chevron property, though the primary administrative functions have been relocated. The physical infrastructure of the heliport, including the concrete landing pad with its 'H' marking, is still visible on satellite imagery. However, it is inactive and no longer registered with the FAA as an operational heliport. The surrounding office building and grounds appear to be maintained, likely for smaller-scale logistical or field support operations that remain in the area.

The Division 'B' Office Heliport was a private facility that played a crucial role in the logistics of the offshore oil and gas industry. Its primary operation was to transport Chevron personnel, executives, and time-sensitive light cargo between the Houma administrative office and the numerous offshore oil platforms and drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. The heliport was a symbol of Houma's importance as a key operational and support hub for America's energy sector for several decades.

There are no known public plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. Its closure was a result of a permanent, strategic corporate consolidation by Chevron. Reopening would require a significant reversal of this corporate strategy or the sale of the property to a new entity with specific aviation needs. Given the current circumstances, the prospect of it reopening as a heliport is considered highly unlikely.
