HOUSTON, U.S. -- Chevron is considering building a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the eastern Mediterranean Sea to export gas to Europe and Asia.

The U.S. oil major will also begin trading LNG from the U.S. Gulf of Mexico as it aims to expand its presence in natural gas, which emits less greenhouse gases than coal.
