HOW TO SERVE LEGAL PAPERS ON CHEVRON CORPORATION

How to Serve Legal Papers on Chevron Corporation

Serving legal papers on Chevron Corporation demands precision at every step — starting with the registered agent’s name on the summons. Chevron Corporation is incorporated in Delaware, and its registered agent on the live Delaware corporate record is The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. Corporation Service Company (CSC) acquired Prentice-Hall and both operate at that address — but Chevron has never updated the entity name in the Delaware filing. Attorneys who write “Corporation Service Company” or “CSC” on the summons instead of “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” create a provable technical defect that Chevron’s litigation counsel will identify and file a motion to quash within the response window. Beyond the parent corporation, Chevron’s litigation footprint spans Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (the California operating subsidiary), a network of facility-specific operating entities carrying direct CERCLA and toxic tort liability, and — as of July 18, 2025 — Hess Corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Undisputed Legal has served Chevron entities across CERCLA environmental response actions, FLSA class actions, royalty and lease disputes, and securities fraud litigation in federal and state courts nationwide. We verify the entity, confirm the agent name matches the corporate record, and deliver GPS-verified service that Chevron cannot successfully challenge.

Serving Legal Papers on Chevron Corporation: The Direct Answer

To serve legal papers on Chevron Corporation, deliver the summons and complaint to The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. — Chevron’s Delaware registered agent at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808 — by a licensed process server. The summons must name that agent exactly as it appears on the Delaware corporate record; naming “Corporation Service Company” instead creates a technical defect Chevron’s counsel will exploit.

1. Identify the correct Chevron entity — parent Corporation, Chevron U.S.A. Inc., or a facility-specific operating subsidiary
2. Confirm the registered agent name character-for-character — for Delaware service on the parent: “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” exactly
3. Verify current address via Delaware SoS — 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808 (confirmed via live Delaware entity record, File No. 195715)
4. Deliver to the registered agent by a licensed process server — authorized under Delaware law, in person, at the confirmed address
5. Obtain GPS-verified notarized Affidavit of Service — timestamp, coordinates, and server credentials embedded at moment of delivery
6. File proof of service with the court — within the deadline set by local rules or the operative scheduling order

Why Chevron Corporation Is Difficult to Serve

Chevron presents a layered service challenge unlike most Fortune 500 defendants. The company’s litigation exposure is unusually broad — CERCLA environmental response actions, toxic tort class actions in refinery communities, royalty and lease disputes with landowners, employment class actions, securities fraud, and international arbitration. Each litigation type tends to involve a different Chevron entity. Identifying the correct defendant, confirming the precise registered agent name, and delivering to the right address are three independent requirements — and failing any one of them produces a motion that Chevron’s legal team files as a matter of standard practice.

The Multi-Entity Structure

Chevron Corporation is the Delaware-incorporated parent company — the NYSE-listed holding company (ticker: CVX) whose registered agent is The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. in Wilmington. Chevron Corporation is the correct defendant in securities fraud class actions, shareholder derivative suits, and cases targeting corporate governance or enterprise-level decisions.

Chevron U.S.A. Inc. is the California-incorporated operating subsidiary — the entity that manages Chevron’s domestic refining, marketing, and commercial operations and is the named counterparty in most commercial contracts, employment agreements, and supply-chain disputes. Chevron U.S.A. Inc. has its own registered agent in California and in other states where it does business; service on Chevron Corporation’s Delaware agent does not constitute service on Chevron U.S.A. Inc.

Facility-specific operating subsidiaries — Chevron Products Company (refinery operations), Chevron Pipe Line Company, Chevron Mining Inc., Chevron Shipping Company — hold direct operational liability for facility-level events. CERCLA response cost claims, Clean Water Act citizen suits, and toxic tort class actions targeting a specific refinery or pipeline incident must name and serve the subsidiary that owned or operated that facility. Serving the parent on those claims is not a substitute.

The Prentice-Hall Name Trap

Corporation Service Company (CSC) acquired The Prentice-Hall Corporation System years ago, and both entities now operate at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. But Chevron Corporation has never updated the registered agent name on its Delaware Division of Corporations filing. The live Delaware entity record (File Number 195715) still reads: THE PRENTICE-HALL CORPORATION SYSTEM, INC.

An attorney who writes “Corporation Service Company,” “CSC,” or any other variant on the summons has named a registered agent that does not match Delaware’s corporate record for Chevron. That is a provable, documentary defect. Chevron’s litigation counsel does not need to argue facts or contest delivery — they present the Delaware Division of Corporations record alongside the summons, show the mismatch, and move to quash. The motion is filed as standard practice in CERCLA, securities, and FLSA matters where early procedural exits carry strategic value. The cure is simple: the summons must name “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” exactly — no abbreviation, no paraphrase, no substitution of the parent company CSC.

Downstream Subsidiary Selection for Environmental and Toxic Tort Claims

CERCLA and toxic tort plaintiffs who target a specific Chevron facility — the Richmond, California refinery; the El Segundo refinery; Chevron’s Pascagoula, Mississippi operations; the Salt Lake City refinery — must identify the Chevron subsidiary that owned or operated that facility at the relevant time. Chevron Products Company holds refinery operating liability in several jurisdictions; other facilities may fall under different subsidiary names depending on corporate reorganizations since the mid-2000s. Serving Chevron Corporation on a facility-specific CERCLA claim does not substitute for service on the correct operating subsidiary — and an incorrect party identification does not become correct because Chevron Corporation is the ultimate parent. Confirm the operating entity at the relevant facility through SEC filings, state environmental agency records, and Delaware or California SoS business entity searches before preparing service documents. See our guide to serving legal papers on corporations with complex subsidiary structures for the framework we apply to every multi-entity Chevron assignment.

The 2025 Hess Acquisition

Chevron completed its acquisition of Hess Corporation on July 18, 2025, making Hess a wholly-owned subsidiary. Attorneys pursuing post-acquisition claims that involve Hess entities — Hess Corporation, Hess Midstream, or Hess’s upstream exploration operations — should not assume that service on Chevron Corporation’s Delaware registered agent constitutes service on Hess. Hess Corporation maintains its own Delaware corporate registration and its own registered agent. The acquisition changed Hess’s ownership structure, not its separate legal existence. Confirm Hess’s current registered agent via the Delaware Division of Corporations before preparing any post-acquisition service documents on a Hess entity.

Common Misserve Scenarios

Serving the San Ramon, California headquarters. Chevron Corporation’s principal executive offices are at 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, CA 94583. That address is not a registered agent location. Delivery of legal papers to the San Ramon campus — regardless of who accepts them — is not valid service on Chevron Corporation under FRCP 4(h) or Delaware § 321. Most court clerks will accept the proof of service; the defect surfaces when Chevron’s counsel moves to quash.

Using stale subsidiary names. Chevron has reorganized, renamed, merged, and divested subsidiaries repeatedly since the 2001 ChevronTexaco merger and the 2005 Unocal acquisition. Entity names that appeared in pre-2010 contracts or court filings — ChevronTexaco Corporation, Texaco Inc. as a standalone, legacy Unocal entities — do not map to current registered agent records without verification. Serving a defunct or reorganized entity produces a defective service record that Chevron does not need to address on the merits.

Serving a Chevron-branded retail station. Chevron’s branded retail locations — gas stations, convenience stores, and commercial fuel facilities — are not authorized agents for service of process. Delivery at a retail Chevron location is void regardless of who accepts the documents.

Our Process for Serving Chevron Corporation

Undisputed Legal treats every Chevron service assignment as a three-layer verification exercise: entity confirmation, registered agent name confirmation, and address currency — in that order, before any document moves. For Chevron, the name confirmation step is as critical as the address step. A server who arrives at the right address with the wrong agent name on the summons has not fixed the defect — the defect is in the document, not the delivery.

Step 1: Entity and Subsidiary Verification

We confirm the correct named defendant against live Delaware SoS records and, where applicable, the California SoS for Chevron U.S.A. Inc. or facility-state records for operating subsidiaries. For CERCLA and toxic tort matters, we identify the specific subsidiary entity named as defendant before accepting service documents — Chevron Products Company, Chevron Pipe Line Company, and other operating entities each have their own registered agent records. This step cannot be skipped for environmental and facility-specific litigation.

Step 2: Summons Name Verification

Before dispatch, we confirm that the registered agent named on the summons matches the Delaware corporate record exactly. For Chevron Corporation service, the summons must read: The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. — not “Corporation Service Company,” not “CSC,” not “Prentice Hall” without the hyphen. If the summons contains any variation, we flag the discrepancy before the server leaves for Wilmington. A corrected summons issued before service avoids the motion entirely. A motion to quash filed after defective delivery costs the client court time, re-service fees, and potentially a missed scheduling order deadline. Undisputed Legal has standardized GPS-verified service workflows for Chevron Corporation across all 50 states — the summons name check is built into the intake process, not an optional add-on.

Step 3: GPS-Verified Service Execution

Our process server arrives at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808 with your documents and a GPS-enabled device that records geographic coordinates, timestamp, and server identification at the exact moment of delivery. The server obtains a date-stamped intake receipt where Prentice-Hall’s office provides one. All location and time data is embedded in the Affidavit of Service before notarization — not reconstructed afterward. Chevron’s in-house litigation counsel reviews service affidavits in CERCLA, securities, and FLSA cases for every exploitable gap. GPS-verified documentation from a licensed server, reflecting delivery to The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. at the confirmed Delaware address, removes the factual predicate for a challenge.

Step 4: Notarized Affidavit of Service

Every Chevron service produces a notarized Affidavit of Service delivered to you within 24 hours of completion. Where service cannot be completed, we produce a notarized Affidavit of Due Diligence documenting three attempts across morning, afternoon, and evening windows. Additional Chevron entities served at the same address in the same order receive a 50% discount on the second service fee. For multi-entity Chevron service — parent plus operating subsidiaries in the same CERCLA or class action matter — contact us to coordinate simultaneous assignments. See our guide to nationwide corporate process service coordination for multi-district litigation logistics.

Where to Serve Chevron Corporation: Registered Agent Locations

The table below reflects confirmed and verified registered agent information for Chevron Corporation and its primary subsidiaries. The Delaware parent row is committed — verified via the live Delaware Division of Corporations entity record (File Number 195715). California subsidiary rows use verification-placeholder language because official California SoS portal access was unavailable during our research; verify all California registered agent addresses via bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov within 30 days of intended service before dispatching any process server.

Entity	Registered Agent	Service Address	Governing Authority
Chevron Corporation (Delaware parent — File No. 195715; COMMITTED)	The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.	251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808	8 Del. C. § 321
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (California operating subsidiary)	Verify current registered agent via California SoS at bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov prior to service	Verify current address via California SoS prior to service	Cal. CCP § 416.10
Chevron Environmental Management Company (California domestic corporation)	Verify current registered agent via California SoS at bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov prior to service	Verify current address via California SoS prior to service	Cal. CCP § 416.10
Chevron Products Company / Chevron Pipe Line Company / Chevron Mining Inc. (facility-specific operating subsidiaries)	Verify current registered agent via Delaware SoS (icis.corp.delaware.gov) and applicable state SoS prior to service — agent varies by entity	Verify current address prior to service	8 Del. C. § 321 / applicable state statute

Three failure points specific to Chevron service: First, the registered agent name on the summons must read “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” exactly — not “Corporation Service Company,” not “CSC,” not any variant. Chevron Corporation has not updated the Delaware filing to reflect CSC’s acquisition of Prentice-Hall; a name mismatch on the summons is a documented defect and a motion to quash target. Second, each operating subsidiary — Chevron Products Company, Chevron Pipe Line, Chevron Mining — has its own registered agent record that must be confirmed separately; do not assume Chevron Corporation’s Delaware agent applies to subsidiaries. Third, California registered agent addresses for all Chevron entities must be verified via live California SoS records before dispatch — registered agent service companies update their intake addresses without notice to the bar.

Compliance and Legal Framework for Serving Chevron Corporation

Chevron litigation spans standard FRCP 4(h) corporate service for district court cases, state statutes for state court filings, and specialized notice requirements under CERCLA and the Clean Water Act that run parallel to — but are distinct from — formal service of process. Missing any one of these requirements does not simply delay the case; it can bar the claim entirely.

Federal District Court: FRCP 4(h)

Under FRCP 4(h)(1)(B), a corporation may be served by delivering the summons and complaint to an officer, managing agent, general agent, or any agent authorized by appointment or by law to receive service of process. The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. is expressly designated by Chevron Corporation as its registered agent in Delaware — delivery to Prentice-Hall at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, satisfies FRCP 4(h)(1)(B) for the parent company. The affidavit must identify the registered agent by the exact name on the Delaware corporate record, confirm the delivery address matches the live SoS filing, state the date and time of delivery, and identify the licensed server. Any deviation from the recorded agent name is the defect Chevron will exploit.

Delaware: 8 Del. C. § 321 — The Prentice-Hall Name Discipline

Delaware General Corporation Law § 321 requires every corporation organized or qualified in Delaware to maintain a registered agent in the state. Service on that agent constitutes valid service on the corporation. But the statute’s effectiveness depends on the summons naming the correct agent. Delaware courts and federal courts applying Delaware law have recognized that a summons naming a registered agent different from the entity’s filed agent creates a defect cognizable on a motion to quash.

Chevron Corporation (File Number 195715) lists The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. on its live Delaware Division of Corporations entity record. Corporation Service Company acquired Prentice-Hall and both entities share the 251 Little Falls Drive address. The operational reality does not change the legal record. When Chevron’s counsel opens the Delaware entity search and shows the court that the summons names “Corporation Service Company” while the corporate record names “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.,” the motion to quash is supported by documentary evidence requiring no additional argument. The fix is zero cost before service — and potentially dispositive after.

California: CCP § 416.10

California Code of Civil Procedure § 416.10 authorizes service on a corporation by delivering papers to the registered agent for service of process or to a designated officer. Chevron U.S.A. Inc. is the California-incorporated operating subsidiary that handles domestic refining, marketing, and commercial operations. Its California registered agent and service address must be confirmed via the California Secretary of State’s business entity search at bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov before dispatch. Service at Chevron U.S.A. Inc.’s offices in San Ramon or at a field operations location — without confirmation that the recipient is an authorized agent under CCP § 416.10 — is a defective service that Chevron’s counsel will challenge. California courts have enforced § 416.10’s requirements strictly in environmental and class action matters where Chevron is a defendant.

CERCLA 42 U.S.C. § 9607 — Facility-Specific Liability and Subsidiary Service

CERCLA § 9607 imposes response cost liability on the owner or operator of a facility at the time of hazardous substance disposal and on any person who arranged for disposal at the facility. Serving Chevron Corporation (the parent) on a CERCLA claim brought against a specific Chevron operating subsidiary does not substitute for service on that subsidiary as the correctly-named defendant. CERCLA § 9607 attaches response cost liability to the owner/operator of the facility at time of disposal — the subsidiary holding that interest must itself be served.

For Chevron facility claims: Chevron Products Company operates domestic refinery facilities; Chevron Mining Inc. holds mining operation liability; Chevron Pipe Line Company holds pipeline corridor liability. Each entity is organized separately, each maintains its own registered agent record, and each must be served as a distinct defendant. Attorneys who identify the correct facility-operating entity and serve it properly position their CERCLA claim on its merits. Attorneys who serve the parent only give Chevron’s counsel a procedural basis to contest the party structure before any substantive CERCLA analysis begins.

Clean Water Act: 33 U.S.C. § 1365 — Citizen Suit Notice

Clean Water Act citizen suits under 33 U.S.C. § 1365 require a 60-day pre-suit notice to the alleged violator, the EPA Administrator, and the relevant state environmental agency before filing. This notice requirement is a jurisdictional prerequisite — failure to provide the required 60-day notice before filing bars the suit. The pre-suit notice to Chevron is distinct from formal service of process on the summons and complaint; it is served on Chevron’s registered agent or principal office at the time of notice, before any case is filed. Attorneys handling citizen suit litigation against Chevron must manage both the pre-suit notice timeline and the post-filing service deadline as separate obligations with separate deadlines. Missing either one has different consequences, and neither can cure the other.

International Claims and Foreign Affiliates

Chevron operates in more than 180 countries through foreign affiliates and joint ventures. Alien Tort Statute (ATS) cases under 28 U.S.C. § 1350 and international arbitration proceedings involving Chevron’s foreign operations require service on the correct foreign entity — not on Chevron Corporation’s Delaware registered agent. The Lago Agrio litigation in Ecuador and related ATS claims against Chevron’s international affiliates involved years of jurisdictional and service disputes precisely because the correct defendant entities were foreign-incorporated affiliates rather than the U.S. parent. For any claim involving Chevron’s non-U.S. operations, confirm the correct defendant entity, its jurisdiction of organization, and the applicable service framework — whether Hague Convention, Letters Rogatory, or bilateral treaty service — before proceeding. See our guide to international process service and Letters Rogatory procedures for the applicable frameworks.

Common Rejection Points and Post-Service Risks

Most court clerks will not review the legal sufficiency of service — they confirm format and verify a proof of service was filed. Defects surface when Chevron’s litigation counsel reviews the file. The three most common defect patterns in Chevron service: (1) the summons names “Corporation Service Company,” “CSC,” or another variant instead of “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” as the registered agent; (2) service was made at the San Ramon, California headquarters rather than the Delaware registered agent; (3) the complaint names Chevron Corporation on a claim that belongs to Chevron U.S.A. Inc. or a specific operating subsidiary, and Chevron moves to dismiss for improper party identification rather than defective service. Each defect is independently sufficient to delay or defeat the claim. For an overview of registered agent service mechanics in corporate litigation, see our guide to process service on registered agents for corporate defendants.

Consult with a licensed attorney to confirm the appropriate service method, correct defendant entity, and applicable notice requirements for your specific claim type, forum, and court rules before proceeding.

Frequently Asked Questions: Serving Legal Papers on Chevron Corporation

Who is the registered agent for Chevron Corporation in Delaware?

The registered agent for Chevron Corporation in Delaware is The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc., located at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808 — confirmed via the live Delaware Division of Corporations entity record, File Number 195715. Corporation Service Company (CSC) acquired The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, and both entities operate at the same 251 Little Falls Drive address. However, Chevron Corporation has not updated the entity name on its Delaware filing, and the live record still names Prentice-Hall. The summons must name “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” exactly — not “Corporation Service Company,” not “CSC” — to match the Delaware corporate record. A mismatch between the summons and the Delaware filing is the most common and most avoidable defect in Chevron service.

What is the difference between Chevron Corporation and Chevron U.S.A. Inc.?

Chevron Corporation is the Delaware-incorporated parent holding company — the NYSE-listed entity (ticker: CVX) whose registered agent is The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. in Wilmington. It is the correct defendant in securities fraud class actions, shareholder derivative suits, and cases targeting Chevron’s enterprise-level decisions. Chevron U.S.A. Inc. is the California-incorporated operating subsidiary that manages domestic refining, marketing, commercial operations, and employment relationships. It is the correct defendant in most commercial contract disputes, FLSA class actions, and claims arising from domestic operational activities. These are distinct legal entities with distinct registered agents, distinct states of incorporation, and distinct registered addresses. Service on the Delaware registered agent for Chevron Corporation does not constitute service on Chevron U.S.A. Inc. — and vice versa. Confirm which entity is the correct defendant before preparing the summons.

How does Chevron’s July 2025 acquisition of Hess Corporation affect service?

Chevron completed its acquisition of Hess Corporation on July 18, 2025, making Hess a wholly-owned Chevron subsidiary. Hess Corporation continues to exist as a separate legal entity within Chevron’s corporate structure — it has not been dissolved or merged into Chevron Corporation. Post-acquisition claims against Hess entities must still be served on Hess Corporation’s own registered agent, not on The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. as Chevron Corporation’s agent. Verify Hess Corporation’s current registered agent via the Delaware Division of Corporations at icis.corp.delaware.gov — the acquisition may have resulted in registered agent changes for Hess entities that have not yet been widely reported in legal databases. As of the acquisition close, Hess’s registered agent information must be verified from live Delaware SoS records, not assumed from pre-acquisition research.

How do I serve Chevron Corporation in Delaware?

Serve The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. The process server must be authorized under Delaware law to serve process. The summons must name the registered agent as “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” — exactly matching the Delaware entity record. The affidavit must specify: the full legal name of the entity served (Chevron Corporation), the registered agent’s name as it appears on the Delaware record (The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.), the delivery address, the date and exact time of delivery, and the identity of the person who accepted the papers. Under 8 Del. C. § 321, service on the registered agent constitutes service on the corporation. Verify the 251 Little Falls Drive address against the live Delaware Division of Corporations entity record (File Number 195715) at icis.corp.delaware.gov within 30 days of intended service before dispatching any server.

How do I serve Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in California?

Chevron U.S.A. Inc. is a California-incorporated corporation and must be served on its California registered agent under CCP § 416.10. Verify the current registered agent name and address via the California Secretary of State business entity search at bizfileonline.sos.ca.gov before dispatch. Do not rely on agent information from prior case files, commercial legal databases, or the California agent listed for Chevron Corporation — Chevron U.S.A. Inc. is a distinct entity with its own separate California filing and its own designated agent. Service at Chevron U.S.A. Inc.’s San Ramon offices, or at any Chevron field or refinery location, is not valid service under CCP § 416.10 unless the specific recipient has been designated as an authorized agent in the California corporate record. Undisputed Legal confirms Chevron U.S.A. Inc.’s current California registered agent information via live SoS records before dispatch on every California assignment.

How long does Chevron service take?

Routine service on The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc. at 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE is completed with the first attempt within 3–7 business days of order placement, with the notarized Affidavit of Service delivered to you within 24 hours of completion. Rush service (first attempt within 24–48 business hours) and same-day service are available for cases where scheduling orders or discovery deadlines do not allow the routine window. California service timelines depend on registered agent address verification, which Undisputed Legal completes before dispatch. For multi-entity CERCLA or class action service requiring simultaneous delivery to Chevron Corporation in Delaware and operating subsidiaries in California or other states, contact us at order placement to coordinate.

What happens if I name “Corporation Service Company” instead of “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” on the summons?

You have created a provable, documentary defect in your service record. Chevron Corporation’s Delaware entity filing (File Number 195715) names “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” as its registered agent. A summons that names “Corporation Service Company” or “CSC” instead does not match that record. Chevron’s litigation counsel will pull the Delaware entity record, place it next to the summons, and file a motion to quash based on the facial mismatch — no fact dispute required, no witness testimony needed. The motion is supported entirely by public records. The cure before service is free: correct the summons to read “The Prentice-Hall Corporation System, Inc.” exactly. The cure after a successful motion to quash is re-service with a corrected summons — if the service deadline has passed, re-service may require a court order, and if the statute of limitations has run, the claim may be barred. One character-for-character name check before dispatch eliminates this entire risk.

What if my CERCLA or environmental claim is against a specific Chevron facility subsidiary?

Identify and name the specific Chevron subsidiary that owned or operated the facility at the relevant time — Chevron Products Company, Chevron Pipe Line Company, Chevron Mining Inc., or another operating entity — as the defendant, and serve that subsidiary’s own registered agent. Serving Chevron Corporation (the parent) on a CERCLA claim brought against a specific Chevron operating subsidiary does not substitute for service on that subsidiary as the correctly-named defendant. CERCLA § 9607 attaches response cost liability to the owner/operator of the facility at time of disposal — the subsidiary holding that interest must itself be served. Confirm the correct operating entity through SEC filings, state environmental agency records (EPA CERCLIS database, state agency enforcement dockets), and Delaware or California SoS entity searches. Undisputed Legal’s pre-dispatch verification protocol for environmental litigation includes subsidiary identity confirmation before any document is accepted for service.
