General Development of Business

Summary Description of Chevron

Chevron Corporation,^* a Delaware corporation, manages its investments in subsidiaries and affiliates and provides administrative, financial, management and technology support to U.S. and international subsidiaries that engage in ~~fully~~ integrated ~~petroleum operations,~~energy and chemicals ~~operations, and power and energy services.~~operations. Upstream operations consist primarily of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; processing, liquefaction, transportation and regasification associated with liquefied natural gas; transporting crude oil by major international oil export pipelines; transporting, storage and marketing of natural gas; and a gas-to-liquids plant. Downstream operations consist primarily of refining crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil and refined products; transporting crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses and fuel and lubricant additives.

A list of the company’s major subsidiaries is presented on page E-4. As of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, Chevron had approximately ~~64,700~~61,500 employees (including about 3,300 service station employees). Approximately ~~31,800~~29,600 employees (including about 3,100 service station employees), or 4948 percent, were employed in U.S. operations.

Overview of Petroleum Industry

Petroleum industry operations and profitability are influenced by many factors. Prices for crude oil, natural gas, petroleum products and petrochemicals are generally determined by supply and demand. Production levels from the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are a major factor in determining worldwide supply. Demand for crude oil and its products and for natural gas is largely driven by the conditions of local, national and global economies, although weather patterns and taxation relative to other energy sources also play a significant part. Laws and governmental policies, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy and the environment, affect where and how companies conduct their operations and formulate their products and, in some cases, limit their profits directly.

Strong competition exists in all sectors of the petroleum and petrochemical industries in supplying the energy, fuel and chemical needs of industry and individual consumers. Chevron competes with fully integrated, major global petroleum companies, as well as independent and national petroleum companies, for the acquisition of crude oil and natural gas leases and other properties and for the equipment and labor required to develop and operate those properties. In its downstream business, Chevron competes with fully integrated, major petroleum companies and other independent refining, marketing, transportation and chemicals entities and national petroleum companies in the sale or acquisition of various goods or services in many national and international markets.

Operating Environment

Refer to pages FS-2 through ~~FS-9~~FS-8 of this Form 10-K in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of the company’s current business environment and outlook.

Chevron’s Strategic Direction

Chevron’s primary objective is to create shareholder value and achieve sustained financial returns from its operations that will enable it to outperform its competitors. In the upstream, the company’s strategies are to grow profitably in core areas and build new legacy positions. In the downstream, the strategies are to deliver competitive returns and grow earnings across the value chain. The company also continues to apply commercial and functional excellence in supply, trading and transportation to enable the success of the upstream and downstream strategies, and to utilize technology across all its businesses to differentiate performance.

Information about the company is available on the company’s website at www.chevron.com. Information contained on the company’s website is not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available free of charge on the company’s website soon after such reports are filed with or furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The reports are also available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

^* Incorporated in Delaware in 1926 as Standard Oil Company of California, the company adopted the name Chevron Corporation in 1984 and ChevronTexaco Corporation in 2001. In 2005, ChevronTexaco Corporation changed its name to Chevron Corporation. As used in this report, the term “Chevron” and such terms as “the company,” “the corporation,” “our,” “we” and “us” may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole, but unless stated otherwise they do not include “affiliates” of Chevron — i.e., those companies accounted for by the equity method (generally owned 50 percent or less) or investments accounted for by the cost method. All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs.

Description of Business and Properties

The upstream and downstream activities of the company and its equity affiliates are widely dispersed geographically, with operations and projects^* in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Tabulations of segment sales and other operating revenues, earnings and income taxes for the three years ending December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and assets as of the end of ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014 — for the United States and the company’s international geographic areas — are in Note 1214 to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page FS-37. Similar comparative data for the company’s investments in and income from equity affiliates and property, plant and equipment are in Notes 1315 and 1416 on pages FS-40 through FS-41. Refer to page FS-13 of this Form 10-K in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of the company's capital and exploratory expenditures.

Upstream

Reserves

Refer to Table V beginning on page FS-65 for a tabulation of the company’s proved net liquids (including crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and synthetic oil) and natural gas reserves by geographic area, at the beginning of ~~2012~~2013 and each year-end from ~~2012~~2013 through ~~2014.~~2015. Reserves governance, technologies used in establishing proved reserves additions, and major changes to proved reserves by geographic area for the three-year period ended December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, are summarized in the discussion for Table V. Discussion is also provided regarding the nature of, status of, and planned future activities associated with the development of proved undeveloped reserves. The company recognizes reserves for projects with various development periods, sometimes exceeding five years. The external factors that impact the duration of a project include scope and complexity, remoteness or adverse operating conditions, infrastructure constraints, and contractual limitations.

At December 31, ~~2014, 20~~2015, 21 percent of the company's net proved reserves were located in Kazakhstan and 19 percent were located in the United States.

The net proved reserve balances at the end of each of the three years ~~2012~~2013 through ~~2014~~2015 are shown in the following table:

All of these terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of the term “project” as it relates to any specific governmental law or regulation.

Net Production of Liquids and Natural Gas

The following table summarizes the net production of liquids and natural gas for ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014 by the company and its affiliates. Worldwide oil-equivalent production of ~~2.571~~2.622 million barrels per day in ~~2014~~2015 was ~~down 1~~up 2 percent from ~~2013.~~2014. Production increases ~~in the Permian Basin in Texas and New Mexico and the Marcellus Shale in western Pennsylvania, and~~from project ramp-ups in ~~Nigeria, Argentina~~the United States and ~~Brazil, were more than offset by normal field declines,~~Bangladesh and production entitlement effects in several locations were partially offset by the Partitioned Zone shut-in, normal field declines and the effect of asset sales. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section beginning on page ~~FS-7~~FS-6 for a detailed discussion of the factors explaining the ~~2012~~2013 through ~~2014~~2015 changes in production for crude oil and natural gas liquids, and natural gas, and refer to Table V on pages FS-68 and FS-69 for information on annual production by geographical region.

Review of Ongoing Exploration and Production Activities in Key Areas

Chevron has exploration and production activities in most of the world's major hydrocarbon basins. Chevron’s ~~2014~~2015 key upstream activities, some of which are also discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, beginning on page ~~FS-3,~~FS-6, are presented below. The comments include references to “total production” and “net production,” which are defined under “Production” in Exhibit 99.1 on page E-10.

The discussion that follows references the status of proved reserves recognition for significant long-lead-time projects not on production as well as for projects recently placed on production. Reserves are not discussed for exploration activities or recent discoveries that have not advanced to a project stage, or for mature areas of production that do not have individual projects requiring significant levels of capital or exploratory investment. Amounts indicated for project costs represent total project costs, not the company’s share of costs for projects that are less than wholly owned.

In Australia/Oceania, the company is engaged in upstream activities in Australia and New Zealand. During ~~2014,~~2015, net oil-equivalent production averaged ~~97,000~~94,000 barrels per day, all from Australia.

~~Australia:~~Australia Upstream activities in Australia are concentrated offshore Western Australia, where the company is the operator of two major LNG projects, Gorgon and Wheatstone, and has a nonoperated working interest in the North West Shelf (NWS) Venture and exploration acreage in the Browse Basin and the Carnarvon Basin. The company also holds exploration acreage in the ~~Nappamerri Trough in central Australia and the~~ Bight Basin offshore South Australia. During ~~2014,~~2015, the company's production averaged ~~23,000~~21,000 barrels of ~~crude oil~~liquids and ~~442~~439 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. ~~Most of this production was from the NWS Venture.~~

Chevron holds a 47.3 percent interest in and is the operator of the Gorgon Project, which includes the development of the Gorgon and ~~nearby~~ Jansz-Io fields. The project includes a three-train, 15.6 million-metric-ton-per-year LNG facility, a carbon dioxide injection facility and a domestic ~~natural~~ gas plant, which are located on Barrow Island, off Western Australia. The total production capacity for the project is ~~expected to be~~ approximately 2.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 20,000 barrels of condensate per day.

~~In January 2015, the company announced an additional binding sales agreement for delivery of~~2016.Trains 2 and 3 are expected to start up sequentially at approximately six-month intervals after LNG from the Gorgon Project for a five-year period starting in 2017. During the time of this agreement, more than 75 percent of Chevron's equity LNG offtake from the project is committed under binding sales agreements with customers in Asia. Chevron also has binding, long-term agreements for delivery of about 65 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to Western Australian natural gas consumers, and the company continues to market additional pipeline natural gas quantities from the project.

Train 1. The ~~evaluation of options to increase the production capacity of Gorgon is planned to continue in 2015.~~project's estimated economic life exceeds 40 years.

Chevron is the operator of the Wheatstone Project, which includes a two-train, 8.9 million-metric-ton-per-year LNG facility and a domestic gas plant, both located at Ashburton North, on the coast of Western Australia. The company plans to supply natural gas to the facilities from the Wheatstone and Iago fields. Chevron holds an 80.2 percent interest in the offshore licenses and a 64.1 percent interest in the LNG facilities. The total production capacity for the Wheatstone and Iago fields and nearby third party fields is expected to be approximately 1.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 30,000 barrels of condensate per day. ~~The project was 53 percent complete at year-end.~~Construction and fabrication continue to progress. Start-up of the first LNG train is ~~expected in late 2016, with the second train start-up planned~~targeted for ~~2017. Total estimated costs for the foundation phase are $29 billion.~~mid-2017. Proved reserves have been recognized for this project. The project's estimated economic life exceeds 30 years from the time of start-up.

As of year-end 2014, Chevron had binding, long-term sales agreements with four customers in Japan for 85 percent of the company's equity LNG offtake from this project. In addition, the company continues to market its equity share of pipeline natural gas to Western Australia customers.

~~During 2014, the company made five natural gas discoveries in the Carnarvon Basin. These discoveries contribute to the resources available to extend and expand Chevron's LNG projects in the region.~~

Chevron has a 16.7 percent nonoperated working interest in the North West Shelf (NWS) Venture in Western Australia. Approximately 80 percent of the natural gas sales were in the form of LNG to major utilities in Asia, primarily under long-term contracts. The remaining natural gas was sold to the Western Australia domestic market. The concession for the NWS Venture expires in 2034.

Approximately 85 percent of the equity LNG offtake from the Gorgon and Wheatstone projects is targeted to be sold into binding long-term contracts, with the remainder to be sold in the Asian spot LNG market. In December 2015, Chevron signed a nonbinding Heads of Agreement (HOA) for delivery of up to 1 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG over 10 years starting in 2020. In early 2016, the company announced the signing of a nonbinding HOA for the delivery of up to 0.5 MTPA of LNG over 10 years, with deliveries starting in 2018 or 2019. Assuming these HOAs are converted to binding sales agreements, more than 80 percent of Chevron's equity LNG offtake from these projects would be covered under binding agreements during the time of these agreements. Chevron also has binding, long-term agreements for delivery of natural gas to customers in Western Australia and continues to market additional pipeline natural gas quantities from the projects. In the NWS Venture, approximately 70 percent of Chevron's equity LNG offtake is committed under binding, long-term sales agreements with major utilities in Asia. The company also sells natural gas to the domestic market in Western Australia.

During 2015, the company made one natural gas discovery in the Carnarvon Basin. The discovery at the Isosceles prospect contributes to the resources available to extend and expand Chevron's LNG projects in the region.

The company holds nonoperated working interests ranging from 24.8 percent to 50 percent in three exploration blocks in the Browse Basin. ~~Drilling in third quarter 2014 resulted in a natural gas discovery at the Lasseter prospect in Block WA-274-P.~~

In the Nappamerri Trough, the company holds a 30 percent nonoperated working interest in the Permian section of PRL 33-49 in South Australia and an 18 percent nonoperated working interest in ATP 855 in Queensland. During 2014, exploration drilling and flow testing continued in order to evaluate the commerciality of the resource base. Pending favorable results, Chevron could earn a 60 percent nonoperated working interest in PRL 33-49 and a 36 percent nonoperated working interest in ATP 855.

The company operates and holds a 100 percent ~~working~~ interest in offshore Blocks EPP44 and EPP45 in the Bight Basin off the South Australian coast. In ~~2014,~~2015, the company completed ~~the initial survey to acquire~~its second 3-D seismic ~~data,~~survey in this area with processing and ~~an additional survey and~~interpretation of the seismic data ~~processing are~~ planned to continue through 2016.

Refer to Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page FS-16 for additional information on environmental matters and their impact on Chevron, and on the company's ~~2014~~2015 environmental expenditures. Refer to page FS-16 and Note 2324 on page ~~FS-58~~FS-57 for a discussion of environmental remediation provisions and year-end reserves. Refer also to Item 1A. Risk Factors on pages 2221 through 2423 for a discussion of greenhouse gas regulation and climate change.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Chevron is a global energy company ~~with~~and its operating and financial results are subject to a ~~diversified business portfolio, a strong balance sheet,~~variety of risks inherent in the global oil, gas, and ~~a history~~petrochemical businesses. Many of ~~generating sufficient cash to pay dividends~~these risks are not within the company's control and ~~fund capital and exploratory expenditures. Nevertheless, some inherent risks~~ could materially impact the company’s results of operations orand financial condition.

Chevron is exposed to the effects of changing commodity ~~prices:~~prices Chevron is primarily in a commodities business that has a history of price volatility. The single largest variable that affects the company’s results of operations is the price of crude oil, which can be influenced by general economic conditions, industry inventory levels, technology advancements, production quotas or other actions that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), weather-related damage and disruptions, competing fuel prices, and geopolitical risks. Chevron ~~accepts~~evaluates the risk of changing commodity prices as part of its business planning process. ~~As such, an~~An investment in the company carries significant exposure to fluctuations in global crude oil prices.

~~During extended~~Extended periods of ~~historically~~ low prices for crude oil can have a material adverse impact on the company's results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Among other things, the company’s upstream earnings, cash flows, and capital and exploratory expenditure programs ~~will~~could be negatively affected, as ~~will~~could its production and proved reserves. Upstream assets may also become impaired. ~~The impact on downstream~~Downstream earnings ~~is dependent~~could be negatively affected because they depend upon the supply and demand for refined products and the associated margins on refined product sales. A significant or sustained decline in liquidity could adversely affect the company’s credit ratings, potentially increase financing costs and reduce access to debt markets. The company may be unable to realize anticipated cost savings, expenditure reductions and asset sales that are intended to compensate for such downturns. In some cases, liabilities associated with divested assets may return to the company when an acquirer of those assets subsequently declares bankruptcy. In addition, extended periods of low commodity prices can have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, financial condition and liquidity of the company’s suppliers, vendors, partners and equity affiliates upon which the company’s own results of operations and financial condition depends.

The scope of Chevron’s business will decline if the company does not successfully develop ~~resources:~~resources The company is in an extractive business; therefore, if ~~Chevron~~it is not successful in replacing the crude oil and natural gas it produces with good prospects for future production or through acquisitions, the company’s business will decline. Creating and maintaining an inventory of projects depends on many factors, including obtaining and renewing rights to explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons; drilling success; ability to bring long-lead-time, capital-intensive projects to completion on budget and on schedule; and efficient and profitable operation of mature properties.

The company’s operations could be disrupted by natural or human ~~factors:~~causes beyond its control Chevron operates in both urban areas and remote and sometimes inhospitable regions. The company’s operations ~~and facilities~~ are therefore subject to disruption from ~~either~~ natural or human causes beyond its control, including physical risks from hurricanes, severe storms, floods and other forms of severe weather, war, accidents, civil unrest, ~~and other~~ political events, fires, earthquakes, system failures, cyber threats and terrorist acts, any of which could result in suspension of operations or harm to people or the natural environment.

~~Chevron utilizes comprehensive~~Chevron's risk management systems are designed to assess potential physical and other risks to its operations and assets and to plan for their resiliency. While capital investment reviews and decisions involve uncertainty analysis, which incorporates potential ranges of physical risks such as storm severity and frequency, sea level rise, air and water temperature, precipitation, fresh water access, wind speed, and earthquake severity, among other factors, ~~Chevron cannot~~it is difficult to predict with certainty the timing, frequency or severity of such events, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the company's results of operations or financial condition.

The company’s operations have inherent risks and hazards that require significant and continuous ~~oversight:~~oversight Chevron’s results depend on its ability to identify and mitigate the risks and hazards inherent to operating in the crude oil and natural gas industry. The company seeks to minimize these operational risks by carefully designing and building its facilities and conducting its operations in a safe and reliable manner. However, failure to manage these risks effectively could impair our ability to operate and result in unexpected incidents, including releases, explosions or mechanical failures resulting in personal injury, loss of life, environmental damage, loss of revenues, legal liability and/or disruption to operations. Chevron has implemented and maintains a system of corporate policies, processes and systems, behaviors and compliance mechanisms to manage safety, health, environmental, reliability and efficiency risks; to verify compliance with applicable laws and policies; and to respond to and learn from unexpected incidents. In certain situations where Chevron is not the operator, the company may have limited influence and control over third parties, which may limit its ability to manage and control such risks.

Chevron’s business subjects the company to liability risks from litigation or government ~~action:~~action The company produces, transports, refines and markets materials with potential toxicity, and it purchases, handles and disposes of other potentially toxic

materials in the course of its business. Chevron's operations also produce byproducts, which may be considered pollutants. Often these operations are conducted through joint ventures over which the company may have limited influence and control. Any of these activities could result in liability or significant delays in operations arising from private litigation or government action, either as a result of an accidental, unlawful discharge or as a result of new conclusions about the effects of the company’s operations on human health or the environment. In addition, to the extent that societal pressures or political or other factors are involved, it is possible that such liability could be imposed without regard to the company’s causation of or contribution to the asserted damage, or to other mitigating factors.

For information concerning some of the litigation in which the company is involved, including information relating to Ecuador matters, see Note 1517 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, beginning on page FS-42.

The company does not insure against all potential losses, which could result in significant financial ~~exposure:~~exposure The company does not have commercial insurance or third-party indemnities to fully cover all operational risks or potential liability in the event of a significant incident or series of incidents causing catastrophic loss. As a result, the company is, to a substantial extent, self-insured for such events. The company relies on existing liquidity, financial resources and borrowing capacity to meet short-term obligations that would arise from such an event or series of events. The occurrence of a significant incident or unforeseen liability for which the company is not fully insured or for which insurance recovery is significantly delayed could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Political instability and significant changes in the regulatory environment could harm Chevron’s ~~business:~~businessThe company’s operations, particularly exploration and production, can be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which it operates. As has occurred in the past, actions could be taken by governments to increase public ownership of the company’s partially or wholly owned businesses or to impose additional taxes or royalties. In certain locations, governments have proposed or imposed restrictions on the company’s operations, export and exchange controls, burdensome taxes, and public disclosure requirements that might harm the company’s competitiveness or relations with other governments or third parties. In other countries, political conditions have existed that may threaten the safety of employees and the company’s continued presence in those countries, and internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a government and the company or other governments may adversely affect the company’s operations. Those developments have, at times, significantly affected the company’s ~~related~~ operations and results and are carefully considered by management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries. In addition, changes in national or state environmental regulations, including those related to the use of hydraulic fracturing, could adversely affect the company's current or anticipated future operations and profitability.

Regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions could increase Chevron’s operational costs and reduce demand for Chevron’s ~~products:~~hydrocarbon and other products Continued ~~political~~ attention to issues concerning GHG emissions and climate change ~~the role of human activity in it,~~ and potential mitigation through legislation and regulation could have a material impact on the company’s operations and financial results.

International agreements (e.g., the Paris Accord and the Kyoto Protocol) and national (e.g., carbon tax, cap-and-trade or efficiency standards), regional and state legislation (e.g., California's AB32 or other low carbon fuel standards) and regulatory measures (e.g., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's methane performance standards) to limit ~~greenhouse~~or reduce GHG emissions are currently in various stages of discussion or ~~implementation.~~implementation and it is difficult to predict with certainty their timing and outcome. These and other ~~greenhouse gas~~GHG emissions-related laws ~~policies~~ and regulations and the effects of operating in a potentially carbon-constrained environment may result in increased and substantial capital, compliance, operating and maintenance ~~costs. The level of expenditure required to comply with these laws~~costs and ~~regulations is uncertain~~could, among other things, reduce demand for hydrocarbons and ~~is expected to vary depending on the laws enacted in each jurisdiction,~~ the company’s ~~activities in it~~hydrocarbon-based products, make the company’s products more expensive, and ~~market conditions. Greenhouse gas~~adversely affect the company’s sales volumes, revenues and margins. GHG emissions, including carbon dioxide and methane, that could be regulated include, among others, those arising from the company’s exploration and production of hydrocarbons such as crude oil and natural gas; the upgrading of production from oil sands into synthetic oil; power generation; the conversion of crude oil and natural gas into refined hydrocarbon products; the processing, liquefaction and regasification of natural gas; the transportation of crude oil, natural gas and related products and consumers’ or customers’ use of the company’s hydrocarbon products. Some of these activities, such as consumers’ and customers’ use of the company’s products, as well as actions taken by the company’s competitors in response to such laws and regulations, are beyond the company’s control.

Consideration of GHG issues and the responses to those issues through international agreements and national, regional or state legislation or regulations are integrated into the company’s strategy and planning, capital investment reviews, and risk management tools and processes, where applicable. They are also factored into the company’s long-range supply, demand and energy price forecasts. These forecasts reflect long-range effects from renewable fuel penetration, energy efficiency standards, climate-related policy actions, and demand response to oil and natural gas prices. The actual level of expenditure required to comply with new or potential GHG emissions laws and regulations and amount of additional investments in new or existing technology or facilities, such as carbon dioxide injection, is difficult to predict with certainty and is expected to vary depending on the actual laws and regulations enacted in a jurisdiction, the company’s activities in it and market conditions.

2322

The ultimate effect of ~~regulation~~international agreements and national, regional and state legislation and regulatory measures to limit GHG emissions on the company’s financial performance will depend on a number of factors including, among others, the sectors covered, the greenhouse gas emissions reductions required, ~~by law,~~ the extent to which Chevron would be entitled to receive emission allowance allocations or would need to purchase compliance instruments on the open market or through auctions, the price and availability of emission allowances and credits, and the ~~impact of legislation or other regulation on the~~ company’s ability to recover the costs incurred through the pricing of the company’s products. Material price increases or incentives to conserve or use alternative energy sources could reduce demand for products the company currently sells and adversely affect the company’s sales volumes, revenues and margins.

Changes in management’s estimates and assumptions may have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements and financial or operational performance in any given ~~period:~~period In preparing the company’s periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including its financial statements, Chevron’s management is required under applicable rules and regulations to make estimates and assumptions as of a specified date. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and experience as of that date and are subject to substantial risk and uncertainty. Materially different results may occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Areas requiring significant estimates and assumptions by management include measurement of benefit obligations for pension and other postretirement benefit plans; estimates of crude oil and natural gas recoverable reserves; accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation reserves; and impairments to property, plant and equipment. Changes in estimates or assumptions or the information underlying the assumptions, such as changes in the company’s business plans, general market conditions or changes in commodity prices, could affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities or expenses.

Inc. refinery in Richmond, California. Various federal, state, and local agencies initiated investigations as a result of the incident. Based on its civil investigation, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a Finding of Violations (FOV) to Chevron on December 17, 2013, which includes 62 findings of alleged noncompliance at the refinery. The majority of these findings relate to the August 2012 fire and alleged violations of chemical-accident-prevention laws, but the FOV also addresses a number of release-reporting issues, some of which are unrelated to the fire. Resolution of the alleged violations may result in the payment of a civil penalty of $100,000 or more.

As ~~previously~~initially disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed on February 21, 2014, in July 2009, the Hawaii Department of Health (DOH) alleged that Chevron is obligated to pay stipulated civil penalties in conjunction with commitments Chevron undertook to install and operate certain air emission control equipment at its Hawaii Refinery pursuant to a Clean Air Act settlement with the United States ~~EPA~~Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the DOH. The company ~~has disputed many of the allegations. Resolution of the alleged violations may result in the payment of a civil penalty of $100,000 or more.~~

As initially disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed on February 21, 2014, the State of New Mexico provided to Chevron a Notice of Violation on December 11, 2013, alleging that the flaring of fuel gas that occurred during periodic compressor purging events at the Chevron Buckeye CO2 plant resulted in hourly air emissions during these events in excess of the plant permit limits and alleging that the company had failed to timely report these excess emissions. The company has reached a settlement agreement with the ~~State of New Mexico~~EPA and the DOH and paid a civil ~~penalty of less than $100,000~~penalties totaling $230,958 to resolve the alleged ~~violation~~.violations.

As initially disclosed in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended ~~March 31, 2014,~~September 30, 2015, filed ~~May 2, 2014, a fire was reported~~ on February 11, 2014, at Chevron Appalachia, LLC’s Lanco 7H well located in Dunkard Township, Greene County, Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ofNovember 6, 2015, on July 29, 2015, the United States ~~(OSHA) initiated investigations as~~Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notified Chevron that certain Renewable Identification Number (RIN) credits it had submitted for compliance with the federal Renewable Fuel Standard for 2011 were invalid because they were fraudulently generated by a ~~result of~~third party that sold the ~~incident. Based on its civil investigation~~credits to ~~date, the PA DEP has issued~~Chevron. On September 30, 2015, Chevron ~~a Notice of Violation alleging nine separate incidents of noncompliance.

Refer to the “Results of Operations” section beginning on page ~~FS-7~~FS-6 for a discussion of financial results by major operating area for the three years ended December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

Business Environment and Outlook

Chevron is a global energy company with substantial business activities in the following countries: Angola, Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, the Philippines, Republic of ~~the~~ Congo, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, the United States, ~~Venezuela,~~ and ~~Vietnam.~~Venezuela.

Earnings of the company depend mostly on the profitability of its upstream business segment. The biggest factor affecting the results of operations for the upstream segment is the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil has fallen significantly since mid-year 2014, reflecting ~~robust non-OPEC supply growth led by expanding unconventional production in the United States, weakening growth in emerging markets,~~persistently high global crude oil inventories and ~~the decision by OPEC in fourth quarter 2014 to maintain its current production ceiling.~~production. The downturn in the price of crude oil has impacted, and, depending upon its duration, will continue to significantly impact the company's results of operations, cash flows, leverage, capital and exploratory investment program and production outlook. ~~If lower prices persist for an extended period of time, the company's response could include further~~The company is responding with reductions in operating expenses, ~~and~~including employee reductions, reductions in capital and exploratory expenditures in 2016 and ~~additional~~future periods, and increased asset sales. The company anticipates that crude oil prices will increase in the future, as continued growth in demand and a slowing in supply growth should bring global markets into balance; however, the timing of any such ~~increases~~increase is unknown. In the company's downstream business, crude oil is the largest cost component of refined products.

Refer to the "Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward-Looking Information" on page 2 and to "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A, on pages 2221 through 2423 for a discussion of some of the inherent risks that could materially impact the company's results of operations or financial condition.

The company continually evaluates opportunities to dispose of assets that are not expected to provide sufficient long-term value or to acquire assets or operations complementary to its asset base to help augment the company’s financial performance and growth. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section beginning on page ~~FS-7~~FS-6 for discussions of net gains on asset sales during ~~2014.~~2015. Asset dispositions and restructurings may also occur in future periods and could result in significant gains or losses.

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

The company closely monitors developments in the financial and credit markets, the level of worldwide economic activity, and the implications for the company of ~~changes~~movements in prices for crude oil and natural gas. Management takes these developments into account in the conduct of ~~ongoing~~daily operations and for business planning.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comments related to earnings trends for the company’s major business areas are as follows:

Upstream Earnings for the upstream segment are closely aligned with industry prices for crude oil and natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas prices are subject to external factors over which the company has no control, including product demand connected with global economic conditions, industry inventory levels, technology advancements, production quotas or other actions imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), actions of regulators, weather-related damage and disruptions, competing fuel prices, and regional supply interruptions or fears thereof that may be caused by military conflicts, civil unrest or political uncertainty. Any of these factors could also inhibit the company’s production capacity in an affected region. The company closely monitors developments in the countries in which it operates and holds investments, and seeks to manage risks in operating its facilities and businesses. The longer-term trend in earnings for the upstream segment is also a function of other factors, including the company’s ability to find or acquire and efficiently produce crude oil and natural gas, changes in fiscal terms of contracts, and changes in tax laws and regulations.

The company continues to actively manage its schedule of work, contracting, procurement and supply-chain activities to effectively manage costs. However, price levels for capital and exploratory costs and operating expenses associated with the production of crude oil and natural gas can be subject to external factors beyond the company’s control including, among other things, the general level of inflation, commodity prices and prices charged by the industry’s material and service providers, which can be affected by the volatility of the industry’s own supply-and-demand conditions for such materials and services. In recent years, Chevron and the oil and gas industry generally experienced an increase in certain costs that exceeded the general trend of inflation in many areas of the world. As a result of the decline in prices of crude oil and other commodities ~~in 2014,~~since mid-2014, these cost pressures ~~are beginning to soften.~~have softened. Capital and exploratory expenditures and operating expenses can also be affected by damage to production facilities caused by severe weather or civil ~~unrest.~~unrest, delays in construction, or other factors.

The chart above shows the trend in benchmark prices for Brent crude oil, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil and U.S. Henry Hub natural gas. The Brent price averaged ~~$99~~$52 per barrel for the full-year ~~2014,~~2015, compared to ~~$109~~$99 in ~~2013.~~2014. As of mid-February ~~2015,~~2016, the Brent price was ~~$60~~$31 per barrel.

America, high refinery runs in Europe and Asia supported pricing for light sweet crude from the Atlantic Basin, while increased output from Iraq and other Middle East producers pressured values of heavier, more sour crudes.

Chevron produces or shares in the production of heavy crude oil in California, Indonesia, the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Venezuela and in certain fields in Angola, China and the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. (See page FS-11 for the company’s average U.S. and international crude oil realizations.)

In contrast to price movements in the global market for crude oil, price changes for natural gas in many regional markets are more closely aligned with supply-and-demand conditions in those markets. Fluctuations in the price of natural gas in the United States are closely associated with customer demand relative to the volumes produced and stored in North America. In the United States, prices at Henry Hub averaged ~~$4.28~~$2.62 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) during ~~2014,~~2015, compared with ~~$3.70~~$4.28 during ~~2013.~~2014. As of mid-February ~~2015,~~2016, the Henry Hub spot price was ~~$2.73~~$1.92 per MCF.

Outside the United States, price changes for natural gas depend on a wide range of supply, demand and regulatory ~~and commercial factors.~~circumstances. Chevron sells natural gas into the domestic pipeline market in most locations. In some locations, Chevron is investing in long-term projects to install infrastructure to produce and liquefy natural gas for transport by tanker to other markets. The company's long-term contract prices for liquefied natural gas (LNG) are typically linked to crude oil prices. ~~Chevron's international~~Approximately 85 percent of the equity LNG offtake from the operated Australian LNG projects is targeted to be sold into binding long-term contracts, with the remainder to be sold in the Asian spot LNG market. The Asian spot market reflects the supply and demand for LNG in the Pacific Basin and is not directly linked to crude oil prices. International natural gas realizations averaged $4.53 per MCF during 2015, compared with $5.78 per MCF during ~~2014, compared with $5.91 per MCF during 2013.~~2014. (See page FS-11 for the company’s average natural gas realizations for the U.S. and international regions.)

The company’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production in ~~2014~~2015 averaged ~~2.571 million~~2.622 million barrels per day. About one-fifth of the company’s net oil-equivalent production in ~~2014~~2015 occurred in the OPEC-member countries of Angola, Nigeria, Venezuela and the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. OPEC quotas had no effect on the company’s net crude oil production in ~~2014~~2015 or ~~2013.~~2014. At their ~~November 2014~~December 2015 meeting, members of OPEC ~~supported maintaining the current~~did not agree on a target production ~~quota~~level, and in January 2016 western sanctions on Iran were lifted. As such, OPEC output is now considered likely to increase from recent levels of 30approximately 31.5 million barrels per day ~~which has been in effect since December 2008.~~as Iranian production and exports recover.

The company estimates that net oil-equivalent production in ~~2015~~2016 will be flat to 34 percent growth compared to ~~2014.~~2015. This estimate is subject to many factors and uncertainties, including the duration of the low price environment that began in second-half 2014; quotas or other actions that may be imposed by OPEC; price effects on entitlement volumes; changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on the scope of company operations; delays in construction, start-up or ramp-up of projects; fluctuations in demand for natural gas in various markets; weather conditions that may shut in production; civil unrest; changing geopolitics; delays in completion of maintenance turnarounds; greater-than-expected declines in production from mature fields; or other disruptions

~~fields; or other disruptions~~ to operations. The outlook for future production levels is also affected by the size and number of economic investment opportunities and, for new, large-scale projects, the time lag between initial exploration and the beginning of production. Investments in upstream projects generally begin well in advance of the start of the associated crude oil and natural gas production. A significant majority of Chevron’s upstream investment is made outside the United States.

In the Partitioned Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, production was shut-in beginning in May 2015 as a result of difficulties in securing work and equipment permits. Net oil-equivalent production in the Partitioned Zone in 2014 was 81,000 barrels per day. During 2015, net oil-equivalent production averaged 28,000 barrels per day. As of early 2016, production remains shut-in and the exact timing of a production restart is uncertain and dependent on dispute resolution between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The financial effects from the loss of production in 2015 were not significant and are not expected to be significant in 2016.

Net proved reserves for consolidated companies and affiliated companies totaled ~~11.1~~11.2 billion barrels of ~~oil equivalent~~oil-equivalent at year-end ~~2014, a decrease~~2015, an increase of 1 percent from year-end ~~2013.~~2014.

On November 7, 2011, while drilling a development well in the deepwater Frade Field about 75 miles offshore Brazil, an unanticipated pressure spike caused oil to migrate from the well bore through a series of fissures to the sea floor, emitting approximately 2,400 barrels of oil. The source of the seep was substantially contained within four days and the well was plugged and abandoned. On March 14, 2012, the company identified a small, second seep in a different part of the field. No evidence of any coastal or wildlife impacts related to either of these seeps have emerged. As reported in the company’s previously filed periodic reports, it has resolved civil claims relating to these incidents brought by a Brazilian federal district prosecutor. As also reported previously, the federal district prosecutor also filed criminal charges against Chevron and eleven Chevron employees. On February 19, 2013, the trial court dismissed the criminal matter, and on appeal, on October 9, 2013, the appellate court reinstated two of the ten allegations, specifically those charges alleging environmental damage and failure to provide timely notification to authorities. On February 27, 2014, Chevron filed a motion for reconsideration. While reconsideration of the motion to dismiss is pending, there will be further proceedings on the reinstated allegations. The company’s ultimate exposure related to the incident is not currently determinable.2015.

Downstream Earnings for the downstream segment are closely tied to margins on the refining, manufacturing and marketing of products that include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, fuel oil, fuel and lubricant additives, and petrochemicals. Industry margins are sometimes volatile and can be affected by the global and regional supply-and-demand balance for refined products and petrochemicals, and by changes in the price of crude oil, other refinery and petrochemical feedstocks, and natural gas. Industry margins can also be influenced by inventory levels, geopolitical events, costs of materials and services, refinery or chemical plant capacity utilization, maintenance programs, and disruptions at refineries or chemical plants resulting from unplanned outages due to severe weather, fires or other operational events.

Other factors affecting profitability for downstream operations include the reliability and efficiency of the company’s refining, marketing and petrochemical assets, the effectiveness of its crude oil and product supply functions, and the volatility of tanker-charter rates for the company’s shipping operations, which are driven by the industry’s demand for crude oil and product tankers. Other factors beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation and energy costs to operate the company’s refining, marketing and petrochemical assets.

The company’s most significant marketing areas are the West Coast of North America, the U.S. Gulf Coast, Asia and southern Africa. Chevron operates or has significant ownership interests in refineries in each of these areas.

U.S. upstream operations incurred a loss of $4.06 billion in 2015 compared to earnings of $3.33 billion from 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower crude oil and natural gas realizations of $4.86 billion and $570 million, respectively, higher depreciation expenses of $2.19 billion and higher exploration expenses of $650 million. The increase in depreciation and exploration expenses was primarily due to impairments and project cancellations. Lower gains on asset sales also contributed to the decrease with current year gains of $110 million compared with $700 million in 2014. Partially offsetting these effects were higher crude oil production of $900 million and lower operating expenses of $450 million.

U.S. upstream earnings of ~~$3.3~~$3.33 billion in 2014 decreased $717 million from 2013, primarily due to lower crude oil prices of $950 million.

International upstream earnings were ~~$13.6~~$2.09 billion in 2015 compared with $13.57 billion in 2014. The decrease between periods was primarily due to lower crude oil and natural gas realizations of $10.57 billion and $880 million, respectively, and higher depreciation expenses of $1.11 billion, primarily reflecting impairments. Lower gains on asset sales also contributed to the decrease with current year gains of $370 million compared with $1.10 billion in 2014. Partially offsetting the decrease were higher crude oil sales volumes of $590 million and lower operating expenses of $510 million. Foreign currency effects increased earnings by $725 million in 2015, compared with an increase of $597 million a year earlier.

International upstream earnings were $13.57 billion in 2014 compared with ~~$16.8~~$16.77 billion in 2013.

Excluding the effects of the Caltex Australia Limited divestment, refined product sales were up 107,000 barrels per day, primarily reflecting higher sales of jet fuel, gasoline and gas oil. Sales of 1.50 million barrels per day in 2014 declined 2 percent from 2013, mainly reflecting lower gas oil ~~sales. Sales of 1.53 million barrels per day in 2013 declined 2 percent from 2012, mainly reflecting lower fuel oil and gasoline~~ sales.

The ~~$7.4~~$10.8 billion increase in total debt and capital lease obligations during ~~2014~~2015 was primarily due to funding the company’s capital investment program, which included several large projects in the construction phase. The company completed ~~a $4~~bond issuances of $6 billion ~~bond issuance~~and $5 billion in March and November ~~2014, timed in part to take advantage of historically low interest rates.~~2015, respectively.

Of these amounts, $8.0 billion was reclassified to long-term at the end of both periods. At year-end ~~2014,~~2015, settlement of these obligations was not expected to require the use of working capital in ~~2015,~~2016, as the company had the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to refinance them on a long-term basis.

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

The company’s future debt level is dependent primarily on results of operations, the capital program and cash that may be generated from asset dispositions. Based on its high-quality debt ratings, the company believes that it has substantial borrowing capacity to meet unanticipated cash requirements. During extended periods of low prices for crude oil and natural gas and narrow margins for refined products and commodity chemicals, the company can also modify capital spending plans to provide flexibility to continue paying the common stock dividend and ~~with the intent~~also remain committed to ~~maintain~~retaining the company’s high-quality debt ratings.

The company estimates that ~~2015~~2016 capital and exploratory expenditures will be ~~$35.0~~$26.6 billion, including ~~$4.0~~$4.5 billion of spending by affiliates. This planned reduction, compared to ~~2014~~2015 expenditures, is in ~~large part a~~ response to current crude oil market conditions. Approximately 90 percent of the total, or ~~$31.6~~$24.0 billion, is budgeted for exploration and production activities. Approximately ~~$23.4~~$9 billion ~~or 74 percent,~~ of ~~this amount~~planned upstream capital spending is for projects outside the United States. Spending in 2015 is primarily focused on major development projects in Angola, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Republic of the Congo, Russia, the United Kingdom and the U.S. Also included is funding for enhancing recovery and mitigating natural field declines for currently-producingexisting base producing assets, ~~development of~~which include shale and tight ~~resources,~~resource investments. Approximately $11 billion is related to major capital projects currently underway, and ~~focused~~approximately $3 billion relates to projects yet to be sanctioned. Global exploration ~~and appraisal activities.~~funding accounts for approximately $1 billion. The company will continue to monitor crude oil market conditions, and will further ~~modify spending plans, as needed.~~restrict capital outlays should current oil price conditions persist.

Worldwide downstream spending in ~~2015~~2016 is estimated at ~~$2.8~~$2.2 billion, with ~~$2.0~~$1.6 billion for projects in the United States. ~~About half of these investments are expected to be funded by CPChem for petrochemicals projects in the United States. Additional capital outlays include projects at U.S. and international refineries.~~

Investments in technology companies and other corporate businesses in ~~2015~~2016 are budgeted at ~~$0.6~~$0.4 billion.

Noncontrolling Interests The company had noncontrolling interests of $1.2 billion at both December 31, ~~2014 compared to $1.3 billion at year-end 2013.~~2015, and December 31, 2014. Distributions to noncontrolling interests totaled $128 million and $47 million in 2015 and ~~$99 million in~~ 2014, ~~and 2013,~~ respectively.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements, Contractual Obligations, Guarantees and Other Contingencies

Long-Term Unconditional Purchase Obligations and Commitments, Including Throughput and Take-or-Pay Agreements The company and its subsidiaries have certain contingent liabilities with respect to long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, including throughput and take-or-pay agreements, some of which relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide goods and services, such as pipeline and storage capacity, drilling rigs, utilities, and petroleum products, to be used or sold in the ordinary course of the company’s business. The aggregate approximate amounts of required payments under these various commitments are: ~~2015 – $3.6 billion;~~ 2016 – ~~$3.0~~$2.1 billion; 2017 – ~~$2.3~~$1.9 billion; 2018 – ~~$2.1~~$1.7 billion; 2019 – ~~$1.6~~$1.5 billion; 2020 – $1.1 billion; 2020 and after – ~~$4.5~~$3.1 billion. A portion of these commitments may ultimately be shared with project partners. Total payments under the agreements were approximately $1.9 billion in 2015, $3.7 billion in 2014 ~~$3.6 billion in 2013~~ and $3.6 billion in ~~2012.~~2013.

The following table summarizes the company’s significant contractual obligations:

Over the approximate ~~13-year~~12-year remaining term of the guarantee, the maximum guarantee amount will be reduced as certain fees are paid by the affiliate. There are numerous cross-indemnity agreements with the affiliate and the other partners to permit recovery of amounts paid under the guarantee. Chevron has recorded no liability for its obligation under this guarantee.

Indemnifications Information related to indemnifications is included on page FS-57 in Note 2324 to the Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading “Indemnifications.”

Financial and Derivative Instrument Market Risk

The market risk associated with the company’s portfolio of financial and derivative instruments is discussed below. The estimates of financial exposure to market risk do not represent the company’s projection of future market changes. The actual impact of future market changes could differ materially due to factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of the company’s ~~2014~~2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Derivative Commodity Instruments Chevron is exposed to market risks related to the price volatility of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas and refinery feedstocks. The company uses derivative commodity instruments to manage these exposures on a portion of its activity, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions for the purchase, sale and storage of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, natural gas liquids and feedstock for company refineries. The company also uses derivative commodity instruments for limited trading purposes. The results of these activities were not material to the company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in ~~2014.~~2015.

The company’s market exposure positions are monitored on a daily basis by an internal Risk Control group in accordance with the company’s risk management policies, which are reviewed by the Audit Committee of the company’s Board of Directors.

Derivatives beyond those designated as normal purchase and normal sale contracts are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. Fair values are derived principally from published market quotes and other independent third-party quotes. The change in fair value of Chevron’s derivative commodity instruments in ~~2014~~2015 was not material to the company's results of operations.

The company uses the Monte Carlo simulation method with a 95 percent confidence level as its Value-at-Risk (VaR) model to estimate the maximum potential loss in fair value from the effect of adverse changes in market conditions on derivative commodity instruments held or issued. A one-day holding period is used on the assumption that market-risk positions can be liquidated or hedged within one day. Based on these inputs, the VaR for the company's primary risk exposures in the area of derivative commodity instruments at December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014 was not material to the company's cash flows or results of operations.

Foreign Currency The company may enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to manage some of its foreign currency exposures. These exposures include revenue and anticipated purchase transactions, including foreign currency capital expenditures and lease commitments. The foreign currency derivative contracts, if any, are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. There were no open foreign currency derivative contracts at December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

Interest Rates The company may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time as part of its overall strategy to manage the interest rate risk on its debt. Interest rate swaps, if any, are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. At year-end ~~2014,~~2015, the company had no interest rate swaps.

Transactions With Related Parties

Chevron enters into a number of business arrangements with related parties, principally its equity affiliates. These arrangements include long-term supply or offtake agreements and long-term purchase agreements. Refer to “Other Information” in Note 1315 of the Consolidated Financial Statements, page FS-41, for further discussion. Management believes these agreements have been negotiated on terms consistent with those that would have been negotiated with an unrelated party.

The company records asset retirement obligations when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the liability can be reasonably estimated. These asset retirement obligations include costs related to environmental issues. The liability balance of approximately ~~$15.1~~$15.6 billion for asset retirement obligations at year-end ~~2014~~2015 related primarily to upstream properties.

For the company’s other ongoing operating assets, such as refineries and chemicals facilities, no provisions are made for exit or cleanup costs that may be required when such assets reach the end of their useful lives unless a decision to sell or otherwise abandon the facility has been made, as the indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent estimation of the fair value of the asset retirement obligation.

Accidental leaks and spills requiring cleanup may occur in the ordinary course of business. ~~In addition to the costs for environmental protection associated with its ongoing operations and products, the~~The company may incur expenses for corrective actions at various owned and previously owned facilities and at third-party-owned waste disposal sites used by the company. An obligation may arise when operations are closed or sold or at non-Chevron sites where company products have been handled or disposed of. Most of the expenditures to fulfill these obligations relate to facilities and sites where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable at the time but now require investigative or remedial work or both to meet current standards.

Using definitions and guidelines established by the American Petroleum Institute, Chevron estimated its worldwide environmental spending in ~~2014~~2015 at approximately ~~$2.6~~$2.7 billion for its consolidated companies. Included in these expenditures were approximately $0.9 billion of environmental capital expenditures and ~~$1.7~~$1.8 billion of costs associated with the prevention, control, abatement or elimination of hazardous substances and pollutants from operating, closed or divested sites, and the abandonment and restoration of sites.

For ~~2015,~~2016, total worldwide environmental capital expenditures are estimated at ~~$0.9~~$0.6 billion. These capital costs are in addition to the ongoing costs of complying with environmental regulations and the costs to remediate previously contaminated sites.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

Management makes many estimates and assumptions in the application of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that may have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and on the comparability of such information over different reporting periods. Such estimates and assumptions affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are based on management’s experience and other information available prior to the issuance of the financial statements. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.

The discussion in this section of “critical” accounting estimates and assumptions is according to the disclosure guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), wherein:


1.	the nature of the estimates and assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters, or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and


2.	the impact of the estimates and assumptions on the company’s financial condition or operating performance is material.

The development and selection of accounting estimates and assumptions, including those deemed “critical,” and the associated disclosures in this discussion have been discussed by management with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The areas of accounting and the associated “critical” estimates and assumptions made by the company are as follows:

Oil and Gas Reserves Crude oil and natural gas reserves are estimates of future production that impact certain asset and expense accounts included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Proved reserves are the estimated quantities of oil and gas that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in the future under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Proved reserves include both developed and undeveloped volumes. Proved developed reserves represent volumes expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves are volumes expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled proved acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Variables impacting Chevron's estimated volumes of crude oil and natural gas reserves include field performance, available technology, commodity prices, and development and production costs.

The estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves are important to the timing of expense recognition for costs incurred and to the valuation of certain oil and gas producing assets. Impacts of oil and gas reserves on Chevron's Consolidated Financial Statements, using the successful efforts method of accounting, include the following:

Amortization - Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production (UOP) basis using proved developed reserves. Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized on a UOP basis using total proved reserves. During ~~2014,~~2015, Chevron's UOP Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DD&A) for oil and gas properties was $13.0 billion, and proved developed reserves at the beginning of 2014 were 4.8 billion barrels for consolidated companies. If the estimates of proved reserves used in the UOP calculations for consolidated operations had been lower by 5 percent across all oil and gas properties, UOP DD&A in 2014 would have increased by approximately $690 million.

FS--17

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

oil and gas properties was $13.9 billion, and proved developed reserves at the beginning of 2015 were 4.7 billion barrels for consolidated companies. If the estimates of proved reserves used in the UOP calculations for consolidated operations had been lower by 5 percent across all oil and gas properties, UOP DD&A in 2015 would have increased by approximately $730 million.

Impairment - Oil and gas reserves are used in assessing oil and gas producing properties for impairment. A significant reduction in the estimated reserves of a property would trigger an impairment review. ~~In assessing whether the property is impaired, the fair value of the property must be determined. Frequently, a discounted cash flow methodology is the best estimate of fair value.~~ Proved reserves (and, in some cases, a portion of unproved resources) are used to estimate future production volumes in the cash flow model. For a further discussion of estimates and assumptions used in impairment assessments, see Impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment and Investments in Affiliates below.

Refer to Table V, “Reserve Quantity Information,” beginning on page FS-65, for the changes in proved reserve estimates for the three years ending December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and to Table VII, “Changes in the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows From Proved Reserves” on page FS-71 for estimates of proved reserve values for each of the three years ended December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

This Oil and Gas Reserves commentary should be read in conjunction with the Properties, Plant and Equipment section of Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, beginning on page FS-28, which includes a description of the “successful efforts” method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities.

Impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment and Investments in Affiliates The company assesses its properties, plant and equipment (PP&E) for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows expected from the asset, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value.

Determination as to whether and how much an asset is impaired involves management estimates on highly uncertain matters, such as future commodity prices, the effects of inflation and technology improvements on operating expenses, production profiles, and the outlook for global or regional market supply-and-demand conditions for crude oil, natural gas, commodity chemicals and refined products. However, the impairment reviews and calculations are based on assumptions that are generally consistent with the company’s business plans and long-term investment decisions. Refer also to the discussion of impairments of properties, plant and equipment in Note 916 beginning on page ~~FS-34~~FS-41 and to the section on Properties, Plant and Equipment in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," beginning on page FS-28.

The company routinely performs impairment reviews when triggering events arise to determine whether any write-down in the carrying value of an asset or asset group is required. For example, when significant downward revisions to crude oil and natural gas reserves are made for any single field or concession, an impairment review is performed to determine if the carrying value of the asset remains recoverable. Similarly, a significant downward revision in the company's crude oil or natural gas price outlook would trigger impairment reviews for impacted upstream assets. Also, if the expectation of sale of a particular asset or asset group in any period has been deemed more likely than not, an impairment review is performed, and if the estimated net proceeds exceed the carrying value of the asset or asset group, no impairment charge is required. Such calculations are reviewed each period until the asset or asset group is disposed of. Assets that are not impaired on a held-and-used basis could possibly become impaired if a decision is made to sell such assets. That is, the assets would be impaired if they are classified as held-for-sale and the estimated proceeds from the sale, less costs to sell, are less than the assets’ associated carrying values.

Investments in common stock of affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method, as well as investments in other securities of these equity investees, are reviewed for impairment when the fair value of the investment falls below the company’s carrying value. ~~Differing~~When this occurs, a determination must be made as to whether this loss is other-than-temporary, in which case the investment is impaired. Because of the number of differing assumptions ~~could affect~~potentially affecting whether an investment is impaired in any period or the amount of the impairment, a sensitivity analysis is not practicable.

gas properties during 2015 primarily as a result of downward revisions in the company's longer-term crude oil price outlook. The impairments were primarily in Brazil and the United States. No material individual impairments of PP&E or Investments were recorded for the ~~three~~ years ~~ending December 31, 2014.~~2014 and 2013. A sensitivity analysis of the impact on earnings for these periods if other assumptions had been used in impairment reviews and impairment calculations is not practicable, given the broad range of the company’s PP&E and the number of assumptions involved in the estimates. That is, favorable changes to some assumptions might have avoided the need to impair any assets in these periods, whereas unfavorable changes might have caused an additional unknown number of other assets to become ~~impaired.~~impaired, or resulted in larger impacts on impaired assets.

Asset Retirement Obligations In the determination of fair value for an asset retirement obligation (ARO), the company uses various assumptions and judgments, including such factors as the existence of a legal obligation, estimated amounts and timing of settlements, discount and inflation rates, and the expected impact of advances in technology and process improvements. A sensitivity analysis of the ARO impact on earnings for ~~2014~~2015 is not practicable, given the broad range of the company's long-lived assets and the number of assumptions involved in the estimates. That is, favorable changes to some

~~FS--18~~

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

assumptions would have reduced estimated future obligations, thereby lowering accretion expense and amortization costs, whereas unfavorable changes would have the opposite effect. Refer to Note 2425 on page FS-59 for additional discussions on asset retirement obligations.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans Note ~~22,~~23, beginning on page ~~FS-52,~~FS-51, includes information on the funded status of the company’s pension and other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet; the components of pension and OPEB expense reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Income; and the related underlying assumptions.

The determination of pension plan expense and obligations is based on a number of actuarial assumptions. Two critical assumptions are the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the discount rate applied to pension plan obligations. Critical assumptions in determining expense and obligations for OPEB plans, which provide for certain health care and life insurance benefits for qualifying retired employees and which are not funded, are the discount rate and the assumed health care cost-trend rates. Information related to the Company’s processes to develop these assumptions is included on page FS-54 in Note 2223 under the relevant headings. Actual rates may vary significantly from estimates because of unanticipated changes in the world's financial markets.

For ~~2014,~~2015, the company used an expected long-term rate of return of 7.5 percent and a discount rate of ~~4.3~~3.7 percent for U.S. pension plans. The actual return for 2015 was slightly negative due to a broad decline in financial markets in the second half of the year. For the 10 years ending December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, actual asset returns averaged ~~6.0~~5.0 percent for the plan. ~~The actual return for 2014 was more than 7.5 percent.~~ Additionally, with the exception of ~~two~~three years within this 10-year period, actual asset returns for this plan equaled or exceeded 7.5 percent during each year.

Total pension expense for ~~2014~~2015 was $1.2 billion. An increase in the expected long-term return on plan assets or the discount rate would reduce pension plan expense, and vice versa. As an indication of the sensitivity of pension expense to the long-term rate of return assumption, a 1 percent increase in this assumption for the company’s primary U.S. pension plan, which accounted for about 3961 percent of companywide pension expense, would have reduced total pension plan expense for ~~2014~~2015 by approximately ~~$98~~$95 million. A 1 percent increase in the discount rate for this same plan would have reduced pension expense for ~~2014~~2015 by approximately ~~$229~~$221 million.

The aggregate funded status recognized at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, was a net liability of approximately ~~$4.7~~$4.5 billion. An increase in the discount rate would decrease the pension obligation, thus changing the funded status of a plan. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the company used a discount rate of ~~3.7~~4.0 percent to measure the obligations for the U.S. pension plans. As an indication of the sensitivity of pension liabilities to the discount rate assumption, a 0.25 percent increase in the discount rate applied to the company’s primary U.S. pension plan, which accounted for about 63 percent of the companywide pension obligation, would have reduced the plan obligation by approximately ~~$403~~$384 million, which would have decreased the plan’s underfunded status from approximately ~~$1.6~~$1.7 billion to ~~$1.2~~$1.3 billion.

For the company’s OPEB plans, expense for ~~2014~~2015 was ~~$219~~$271 million, and the total liability, which reflected the unfunded status of the plans at the end of ~~2014,~~2015, was ~~$3.7~~$3.3 billion. For the main U.S. OPEB plan, the company used a ~~4.7~~4.1 percent discount rate to measure expense in ~~2014,~~2015, and a ~~4.1~~4.5 percent discount rate to measure the benefit obligations at December 31, ~~2014.~~2015. Discount rate changes, similar to those used in the pension sensitivity analysis, resulted in an immaterial impact on ~~2014~~2015 OPEB expense and OPEB liabilities at the end of ~~2014.~~2015. For information on the sensitivity of the health care cost-trend rate, refer to page FS-54 in Note 2223 under the heading “Other Benefit Assumptions.”

Differences between the various assumptions used to determine expense and the funded status of each plan and actual experience are included in actuarial gain/loss. Refer to page FS-53 in Note 2223 for a description of the method used to amortize the ~~$7.2~~$6.3 billion of before-tax actuarial losses recorded by the company as of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and an estimate of the costs to be recognized in expense during ~~2015.~~2016. In addition, information related to company contributions is included on ~~Page~~page FS-56 in Note 2223 under the heading “Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments.”

Contingent Losses Management also makes judgments and estimates in recording liabilities for claims, litigation, tax matters and environmental remediation. Actual costs can frequently vary from estimates for a variety of reasons. For example, the costs for settlement of claims and litigation can vary from estimates based on differing interpretations of laws, opinions on culpability

FS--19

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

and assessments on the amount of damages. Similarly, liabilities for environmental remediation are subject to change because of changes in laws, regulations and their interpretation, the determination of additional information on the extent and nature of site contamination, and improvements in technology.

Under the accounting rules, a liability is generally recorded for these types of contingencies if management determines the loss to be both probable and estimable. The company generally reports these losses as “Operating expenses” or “Selling,

~~FS--19~~

~~Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

general and administrative expenses” on the Consolidated Statement of Income. An exception to this handling is for income tax matters, for which benefits are recognized only if management determines the tax position is “more likely than not” (i.e., likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction. For additional discussion of income tax uncertainties, refer to Note 2324 beginning on page FS-57. Refer also to the business segment discussions elsewhere in this section for the effect on earnings from losses associated with certain litigation, environmental remediation and tax matters for the three years ended December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

An estimate as to the sensitivity to earnings for these periods if other assumptions had been used in recording these liabilities is not practicable because of the number of contingencies that must be assessed, the number of underlying assumptions and the wide range of reasonably possible outcomes, both in terms of the probability of loss and the estimates of such loss.

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements

To the Stockholders of Chevron Corporation Management of Chevron Corporation is responsible for preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related information appearing in this report. The statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and fairly represent the transactions and financial position of the company. The financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. As stated in its report included herein, the independent registered public accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has audited the company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). The Board of Directors of Chevron has an Audit Committee composed of directors who are not officers or employees of the company. The Audit Committee meets regularly with members of management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm to review accounting, internal control, auditing and financial reporting matters. Both the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have free and direct access to the Audit Committee without the presence of management. The company's management has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2015. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that the company's disclosure controls are effective in ensuring that information required to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported, are done within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as ~~such term is~~ defined in the Exchange Act ~~Rule~~Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this evaluation, the company’s management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, ~~2014.~~ ~~On May 14, 2013, COSO published an updated~~ ~~Internal Control - Integrated Framework~~ ~~(2013) and related illustrative documents. The company adopted the new framework effective January 1, 2014.~~ 2015. The effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report included herein.

	Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
	To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance ~~sheet~~sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chevron Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and December 31, ~~2013,~~2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General The company’s Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in the financial statements, as well as amounts included in the notes thereto, including discussion and disclosure of contingent liabilities. Although the company uses its best estimates and judgments, actual results could differ from these estimates as future confirming events occur.

Subsidiary and Affiliated Companies The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of controlled subsidiary companies more than 50 percent-owned and any variable-interest entities in which the company is the primary beneficiary. Undivided interests in oil and gas joint ventures and certain other assets are consolidated on a proportionate basis. Investments in and advances to affiliates in which the company has a substantial ownership interest of approximately 20 percent to 50 percent, or for which the company exercises significant influence but not control over policy decisions, are accounted for by the equity method. As part of that accounting, the company recognizes gains and losses that arise from the issuance of stock by an affiliate that results in changes in the company’s proportionate share of the dollar amount of the affiliate’s equity currently in income.

Investments in affiliates are assessed for possible impairment when events indicate that the fair value of the investment may be below the company’s carrying value. When such a condition is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is written down to its fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net income. In making the determination as to whether a decline is other than temporary, the company considers such factors as the duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial performance, and the company’s ability and intention to retain its investment for a period that will be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the investment’s market value. The new cost basis of investments in these equity investees is not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value.

Differences between the company’s carrying value of an equity investment and its underlying equity in the net assets of the affiliate are assigned to the extent practicable to specific assets and liabilities based on the company’s analysis of the various factors giving rise to the difference. When appropriate, the company’s share of the affiliate’s reported earnings is adjusted quarterly to reflect the difference between these allocated values and the affiliate’s historical book values.

Fair Value MeasurementsThe three levels of the fair value hierarchy of inputs the company uses to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.

Derivatives The majority of the company’s activity in derivative commodity instruments is intended to manage the financial risk posed by physical transactions. For some of this derivative activity, generally limited to large, discrete or infrequently occurring transactions, the company may elect to apply fair value or cash flow hedge accounting. For other similar derivative instruments, generally because of the short-term nature of the contracts or their limited use, the company does not apply hedge accounting, and changes in the fair value of those contracts are reflected in current income. For the company’s commodity trading activity, gains and losses from derivative instruments are reported in current income. The company may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time as part of its overall strategy to manage the interest rate risk on its debt. Interest rate swaps related to a portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt, if any, may be accounted for as fair value hedges. Interest rate swaps related to floating-rate debt, if any, are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. Where Chevron is a party to master netting arrangements, fair value receivable and payable amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty are generally offset on the balance sheet.

Short-Term Investments All short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are in highly liquid debt securities. Those investments that are part of the company’s cash management portfolio and have original maturities of three months or less are reported as “Cash equivalents.” Bank time deposits with maturities greater than 90 days are reported as “Time deposits.” The balance of short-term investments is reported as “Marketable securities” and is marked-to-market, with any unrealized gains or losses included in “Other comprehensive income.”

Inventories Crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals inventories are generally stated at cost, using a last-in, first-out method. In the aggregate, these costs are below market. “Materials, supplies and other” inventories generally are stated at average cost.

Properties, Plant and Equipment The successful efforts method is used for crude oil and natural gas exploration and production activities. All costs for development wells, related plant and equipment, proved mineral interests in crude oil and natural gas properties, and related asset retirement obligation (ARO) assets are capitalized. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized pending ~~determination of whether the wells found proved reserves. Costs of wells that are assigned proved reserves remain capitalized.~~

determination of whether the wells found proved reserves. Costs of wells that are assigned proved reserves remain capitalized. Costs also are capitalized for exploratory wells that have found crude oil and natural gas reserves even if the reserves cannot be classified as proved when the drilling is completed, provided the exploratory well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify its completion as a producing well and the company is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. All other exploratory wells and costs are expensed. Refer to Note ~~20,~~21, beginning on page FS-49, for additional discussion of accounting for suspended exploratory well costs.

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including proved crude oil and natural gas properties, are assessed for possible impairment by comparing their carrying values with their associated undiscounted, future net before-tax cash flows. Events that can trigger assessments for possible impairments include write-downs of proved reserves based on field performance, significant decreases in the market value of an asset (including changes to the commodity price forecast), significant change in the extent or manner of use of or a physical change in an asset, and a more-likely-than-not expectation that a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly sooner than the end of its previously estimated useful life. Impaired assets are written down to their estimated fair values, generally their discounted, future net before-tax cash flows. For proved crude oil and natural gas properties, ~~in the United States,~~ the company ~~generally~~ performs an impairment ~~review on an individual field basis. Outside the United States,~~ reviews ~~are performed~~ on a country, concession, PSC, development area or field basis, as appropriate. In Downstream, impairment reviews are performed on the basis of a refinery, a plant, a marketing/lubricants area or distribution area, as appropriate. Impairment amounts are recorded as incremental “Depreciation, depletion and amortization” expense.

Long-lived assets that are held for sale are evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset with its fair value less the cost to sell. If the net book value exceeds the fair value less cost to sell, the asset is considered impaired and adjusted to the lower value. Refer to Note 9, beginning on page FS-34, relating to fair value measurements.

The fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded as an asset and a liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a long-lived asset and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Refer also to Note ~~24,~~25, on page FS-59, relating to AROs.

Depreciation and depletion of all capitalized costs of proved crude oil and natural gas producing properties, except mineral interests, are expensed using the unit-of-production method, generally by individual field, as the proved developed reserves are produced. Depletion expenses for capitalized costs of proved mineral interests are recognized using the unit-of-production method by individual field as the related proved reserves are produced. Periodic valuation provisions for impairment of capitalized costs of unproved mineral interests are expensed.

The capitalized costs of all other plant and equipment are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives. In general, the declining-balance method is used to depreciate plant and equipment in the United States; the straight-line method is generally used to depreciate international plant and equipment and to amortize all capitalized leased assets.

Gains or losses are not recognized for normal retirements of properties, plant and equipment subject to composite group amortization or depreciation. Gains or losses from abnormal retirements are recorded as expenses, and from sales as “Other income.”

Expenditures for maintenance (including those for planned major maintenance projects), repairs and minor renewals to maintain facilities in operating condition are generally expensed as incurred. Major replacements and renewals are capitalized.

Goodwill Goodwill resulting from a business combination is not subject to amortization. The company tests such goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.

Environmental Expenditures Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past operations are expensed. Expenditures that create future benefits or contribute to future revenue generation are capitalized.

Liabilities related to future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments or cleanups or both are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For ~~the company’s U.S. and Canadian marketing facilities, the accrual is based in part on the probability that a future remediation commitment will be required. For~~ crude oil, natural gas and mineral-producing properties, a liability for an ARO is made in accordance with accounting standards for asset retirement and environmental obligations. Refer to Note ~~24,~~25, on page FS-59, for a discussion of the company’s AROs.

~~FS--29~~

~~Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements~~

~~Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts~~

For federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, the company records a liability for its designated share of the probable and estimable costs, and probable amounts for other potentially responsible parties when mandated by the regulatory agencies because the other parties are not able to pay their respective shares.

The gross amount of environmental liabilities is based on the company’s best estimate of future costs using currently available technology and applying current regulations and the company’s own internal environmental policies. Future amounts are not discounted. Recoveries or reimbursements are recorded as assets when receipt is reasonably assured.

Currency Translation The U.S. dollar is the functional currency for substantially all of the company’s consolidated operations and those of its equity affiliates. For those operations, all gains and losses from currency remeasurement are included in current period income. The cumulative translation effects for those few entities, both consolidated and affiliated, using functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in “Currency translation adjustment” on the Consolidated Statement of Equity.

Revenue Recognition Revenues associated with sales of crude oil, natural gas, petroleum and chemicals products, and all other sources are recorded when title passes to the customer, net of royalties, discounts and allowances, as applicable. Revenues from natural gas production from properties in which Chevron has an interest with other producers are generally recognized using the entitlement method. Excise, value-added and similar taxes assessed by a governmental authority on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer are presented on a gross basis. The associated amounts are shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income, on page FS-23. Purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in contemplation of one another (including buy/sell arrangements) are combined and recorded on a net basis and reported in “Purchased crude oil and products” on the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation The company issues stock options and other share-based compensation to certain employees. For equity awards, such as stock options, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value, and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement value. The company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan have graded vesting provisions by which one-third of each award vests on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. The company amortizes these graded awards on a straight-line basis.

Fair Value Measurements

The ~~three levels of the fair value hierarchy of inputs the company uses to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability are as follows:~~

~~Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets~~tables below and liabilities. For the company, Level 1 inputs include exchange-traded futures contracts for which the parties are willing to transact at the exchange-quoted price and marketable securities that are actively traded.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. For the company, Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, prices obtained through third-party broker quotes and prices that can be corroborated with other observable inputs for substantially the complete term of a contract.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs. The company does not use Level 3 inputs for any of its recurring fair value measurements. Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

~~The tables~~ on the next page show the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and December 31, ~~2013.~~2014.

Marketable Securities The company calculates fair value for its marketable securities based on quoted market prices for identical assets. The fair values reflect the cash that would have been received if the instruments were sold at December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

Derivatives The company records its derivative instruments – other than any commodity derivative contracts that are designated as normal purchase and normal sale – on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, with the offsetting amount to the Consolidated Statement of Income. Derivatives classified as Level 1 include futures, swaps and options contracts traded in active markets such as the New York Mercantile Exchange. Derivatives classified as Level 2 include swaps, options and forward contracts principally with financial institutions and other oil and gas companies, the fair values of which are obtained from third-party broker quotes, industry pricing services and exchanges. The company obtains multiple sources of pricing information for the Level 2 instruments. Since this pricing information is generated from observable market data, it has historically been very consistent. The company does not materially adjust this information.

Properties, Plant and Equipment The company reported impairments for certain oil and gas properties during 2015 primarily as a result of downward revisions in the company's longer-term crude oil price outlook. The impairments were primarily in Brazil and the United States. The company reported impairments for certain oil and gas properties and a mining asset in 2014. ~~The company did not have any material long-lived assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to report in 2013.~~

Investments and Advances The company did not have any material investments and advances measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to report in ~~2014~~2015 or ~~2013.~~2014.

Assets and Liabilities Not Required to Be Measured at Fair Value The company holds cash equivalents and ~~bank~~ time deposits in U.S. and non-U.S. portfolios. The instruments classified as cash equivalents are primarily bank time deposits with maturities of 90 days or less and money market funds. “Cash and cash equivalents” had carrying/fair values of ~~$12,785~~$11,022 and ~~$16,245~~$12,785 at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and December 31, ~~2013,~~2014, respectively. The instruments held in “Time deposits” are bank time deposits with maturities greater than 90 days, and had carrying/fair values of zero and $8 at ~~both~~December 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, ~~and December 31, 2013.~~respectively. The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and bank time deposits are classified as Level 1 and reflect the cash that would have been received if the instruments were settled at December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

"Cash and cash equivalents” do not include investments with a carrying/fair value of ~~$1,474~~$1,100 and ~~$1,210~~$1,474 at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and December 31, ~~2013,~~2014, respectively. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, these investments are classified as Level 1 and include restricted funds related to upstream abandonment activities, tax payments, and funds held in escrow for tax-deferred exchanges and asset acquisitions and ~~tax payments,~~divestitures, which are reported in “Deferred charges and other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Long-term debt of ~~$15,960~~$25,584 and ~~$11,960~~$15,960 at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, and December 31, ~~2013,~~2014, had estimated fair values of ~~$16,450~~$25,884 and ~~$12,267,~~$16,450, respectively. Long-term debt primarily includes corporate issued bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is ~~$15,727~~$25,117 and classified as Level 1. The fair value of the other bonds is ~~$723~~$767 and classified as Level 2.

The carrying values of short-term financial assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate their fair values. Fair value remeasurements of other financial instruments at December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013,~~2014, were not material.

Note 10

Financial and Derivative Instruments

Derivative Commodity Instruments ~~Chevron is exposed to market risks related to price volatility of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas and refinery feedstocks.~~

The company uses derivative commodity instruments to manage these exposures on a portion of its activity, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions for the purchase, sale and storage of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, natural gas liquids and feedstock for company refineries. From time to time, the company also uses derivative commodity instruments for limited trading purposes.

The company’s derivative commodity instruments principally include crude oil, natural gas and refined product futures, swaps, options, and forward contracts. None of the company’s derivative instruments is designated as a hedging instrument, although certain of the company’s affiliates make such designation. The company’s derivatives are not material to the company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The company believes it has no material market or credit risks to its operations, financial position or liquidity as a result of its commodity derivative activities.

~~FS--35~~

~~Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements~~

~~Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts~~

The company uses derivative commodity instruments traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange and on electronic platforms of the Inter-Continental Exchange and Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In addition, the company enters into swap contracts and option contracts principally with major financial institutions and other oil and gas companies in the “over-the-counter” markets, which are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements and other master netting arrangements. Depending on the nature of the derivative transactions, bilateral collateral arrangements may also be required.

Derivative instruments measured at fair value at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, December 31, ~~2013,~~2014, and December 31, ~~2012,~~2013, and their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Income are ~~as follows:~~on the next page:

Derivative Liabilities	$	793		$	704			$	89		$	—		$	89

Derivative assets and liabilities are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as accounts and notes receivable, long-term receivables, accounts payable, and deferred credits and other noncurrent obligations. Amounts not offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet represent positions that do not meet all the conditions for "a right of offset."

Concentrations of Credit Risk The company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash equivalents, time deposits, marketable securities, derivative financial instruments and trade receivables. The company’s short-term investments are placed with a wide array of financial institutions with high credit ratings. Company investment policies limit the company’s exposure both to credit risk and to concentrations of credit risk. Similar policies on diversification and creditworthiness are applied to the company’s counterparties in derivative instruments.

The trade receivable balances, reflecting the company’s diversified sources of revenue, are dispersed among the company’s broad customer base worldwide. As a result, the company believes concentrations of credit risk are limited. The company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. When the financial strength of a customer is not considered sufficient, alternative risk mitigation measures may be deployed, including requiring pre-payments, letters of credit or other acceptable collateral instruments to support sales to customers.

Note 11

Assets Held for Sale

At December 31, 2015, the company classified $1,449 of net properties, plant and equipment as “Assets held for sale” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets are associated with upstream and downstream operations that are anticipated to be sold in the next 12 months. The revenues and earnings contributions of these assets in 2015 were not material.

Operating Segments and Geographic Data

Although each subsidiary of Chevron is responsible for its own affairs, Chevron Corporation manages its investments in these subsidiaries and their affiliates. The investments are grouped into two business segments, Upstream and Downstream, representing the company’s “reportable segments” and “operating segments.” Upstream operations consist primarily of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; liquefaction, transportation and regasification associated with liquefied natural gas (LNG); transporting crude oil by major international oil export pipelines; processing, transporting, storage and marketing of natural gas; and a gas-to-liquids plant. Downstream operations consist primarily of refining of crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil and refined products; transporting of crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and fuel and lubricant additives. All Other activities of the company include ~~mining activities, power and energy services,~~ worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, and technology companies.

The company’s segments are managed by “segment managers” who report to the “chief operating decision maker” (CODM). The segments represent components of the company that engage in activities (a) from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM, which makes decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assesses their performance; and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.

The company’s primary country of operation is the United States of America, its country of domicile. Other components of the company’s operations are reported as "International” (outside the United States).

Segment Earnings The company evaluates the performance of its operating segments on an after-tax basis, without considering the effects of debt financing interest expense or investment interest income, both of which are managed by the company on a worldwide basis. Corporate administrative costs and assets are not allocated to the operating segments. However, operating segments are billed for the direct use of corporate services. Nonbillable costs remain at the corporate level in “All Other.” Earnings by major operating area are presented in the following table:

^*2014 conformed to 2015 presentation.

Descriptions of major affiliates, including significant differences between the company’s carrying value of its investments and its underlying equity in the net assets of the affiliates, are as follows:

Tengizchevroil Chevron has a 50 percent equity ownership interest in Tengizchevroil (TCO), which operates the Tengiz and Korolev crude oil fields in Kazakhstan. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the company’s carrying value of its investment in TCO was about $150 higher than the amount of underlying equity in TCO’s net assets. This difference results from Chevron acquiring a portion of its interest in TCO at a value greater than the underlying book value for that portion of TCO’s net assets. See Note 8, on page FS-34, for summarized financial information for 100 percent of TCO.

Petropiar Chevron has a 30 percent interest in Petropiar, a joint stock company which operates the Hamaca heavy-oil production and upgrading project in Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the company’s carrying value of its investment in Petropiar was approximately $160 less than the amount of underlying equity in Petropiar’s net assets. The difference represents the excess of Chevron’s underlying equity in Petropiar’s net assets over the net book value of the assets contributed to the venture.

Caspian Pipeline Consortium Chevron has a 15 percent interest in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, a variable interest entity, which provides the critical export route for crude oil from both TCO and Karachaganak. The company has investments and advances totaling ~~$1,487,~~$1,342, which includes long-term loans of ~~$1,328~~$1,098 at year-end ~~2014.~~2015. The loans were provided to fund 30 percent of the initial pipeline construction. The company is not the primary beneficiary of the consortium because it does not direct activities of the consortium and only receives its proportionate share of the financial returns.

Petroboscan Chevron has a 39.2 percent interest in Petroboscan, a joint stock company which operates the Boscan Field in Venezuela. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the company’s carrying value of its investment in Petroboscan was approximately ~~$160~~$140 higher than the amount of underlying equity in Petroboscan’s net assets. The difference reflects the excess of the net book value of the assets contributed by Chevron over its underlying equity in Petroboscan’s net assets.

Angola LNG Limited Chevron has a 36.4 percent interest in Angola LNG Limited, which processes and liquefies natural gas produced in Angola for delivery to international markets.

Litigation

MTBE Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive. Chevron is a party to seven pending lawsuits and claims, the majority of which involve numerous other petroleum marketers and refiners. Resolution of these lawsuits and claims may ultimately require the company to correct or ameliorate the alleged effects on the environment of prior release of MTBE by the company or other parties. Additional lawsuits and claims related to the use of MTBE, including personal-injury claims, may be filed in the future. The company’s ultimate exposure related to pending lawsuits and claims is not determinable. The company no longer uses MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.

Ecuador

BackgroundChevron is a defendant in a civil lawsuit initiated in the Superior Court of Nueva Loja in Lago Agrio, Ecuador, in May 2003 by plaintiffs who claim to be representatives of certain residents of an area where an oil production consortium formerly had operations. The lawsuit alleges damage to the environment from the oil exploration and production operations and seeks unspecified damages to fund environmental remediation and restoration of the alleged environmental harm, plus a health monitoring program. Until 1992, Texaco Petroleum Company (Texpet), a subsidiary of Texaco Inc., was a minority member of this consortium with Petroecuador, the Ecuadorian state-owned oil company, as the majority partner; since 1990, the operations have been conducted solely by Petroecuador. At the conclusion of the consortium and following an independent third-party environmental audit of the concession area, Texpet entered into a formal agreement with the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador for Texpet to remediate specific sites assigned by the government in proportion to Texpet’s ownership share of the consortium. Pursuant to that agreement, Texpet conducted a three-year remediation program at a cost of $40. After certifying that the sites were properly remediated, the government granted Texpet and all related corporate entities a full release from any and all environmental liability arising from the consortium operations.

Based on the history described above, Chevron believes that this lawsuit lacks legal or factual merit. As to matters of law, the company believes first, that the court lacks jurisdiction over Chevron; second, that the law under which plaintiffs bring the action, enacted in 1999, cannot be applied retroactively; third, that the claims are barred by the statute of limitations in Ecuador; and, fourth, that the lawsuit is also barred by the releases from liability previously given to Texpet by the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador and by the pertinent provincial and municipal governments. With regard to the facts, the company believes that the evidence confirms that Texpet’s remediation was properly conducted and that the remaining environmental damage reflects Petroecuador’s failure to timely fulfill its legal obligations and Petroecuador’s further conduct since assuming full control over the operations.

Lago Agrio JudgmentIn 2008, a mining engineer appointed by the court to identify and determine the cause of environmental damage, and to specify steps needed to remediate it, issued a report recommending that the court assess $18,900, which would, according to the engineer, provide financial compensation for purported damages, including wrongful death claims, and pay for, among other items, environmental remediation, health care systems and additional infrastructure for Petroecuador. The engineer’s report also asserted that an additional $8,400 could be assessed against Chevron for unjust enrichment. In 2009, following the disclosure by Chevron of evidence that the judge participated in meetings in which businesspeople and individuals holding themselves out as government officials discussed the case and its likely outcome, the judge presiding over the case was recused. In 2010, Chevron moved to strike the mining engineer’s report and to dismiss the case based on evidence obtained through discovery in the United States indicating that the report was prepared by consultants for the plaintiffs before being presented as the mining engineer’s independent and impartial work and showing further evidence of misconduct. In August 2010, the judge issued an order stating that he was not bound by the mining engineer’s report and requiring the parties to provide their positions on damages within 45 days. Chevron subsequently petitioned for recusal of the judge, claiming that he had disregarded evidence of fraud and misconduct and that he had failed to rule on a number of motions within the statutory time requirement.

In September 2010, Chevron submitted its position on damages, asserting that no amount should be assessed against it. The plaintiffs’ submission, which relied in part on the mining engineer’s report, took the position that damages are between approximately $16,000 and $76,000 and that unjust enrichment should be assessed in an amount between approximately $5,000 and $38,000. The next day, the judge issued an order closing the evidentiary phase of the case and notifying the parties that he had requested the case file so that he could prepare a judgment. Chevron petitioned to have that order declared a nullity in light of Chevron’s prior recusal petition, and because procedural and evidentiary matters remained unresolved. In October 2010, Chevron’s motion to recuse the judge was granted. A new judge took charge of the case and revoked the prior judge’s order closing the evidentiary phase of the case. On December 17, 2010, the judge issued an order closing the evidentiary phase of the case and notifying the parties that he had requested the case file so that he could prepare a judgment.

On February 14, 2011, the provincial court in Lago Agrio rendered an adverse judgment in the case. The court rejected Chevron’s defenses to the extent the court addressed them in its opinion. The judgment assessed approximately $8,600 in damages and approximately $900 as an award for the plaintiffs’ representatives. It also assessed an additional amount of approximately $8,600 in punitive damages unless the company issued a public apology within 15 days of the judgment, which Chevron did not do. On February 17, 2011, the plaintiffs appealed the judgment, seeking increased damages, and on March 11, 2011, Chevron appealed the judgment seeking to have the judgment nullified. On January 3, 2012, an appellate panel in the provincial court affirmed the February 14, 2011 decision and ordered that Chevron pay additional attorneys’ fees in the amount of “0.10% of the values that are derived from the decisional act of this judgment.” The plaintiffs filed a petition to clarify and amplify the appellate decision on January 6, 2012, and the court issued a ruling in response on January 13, 2012, purporting to clarify and amplify its January 3, 2012 ruling, which included clarification that the deadline for the company to issue a public apology to avoid the additional amount of approximately $8,600 in punitive damages was within 15 days of the clarification ruling, or February 3, 2012. Chevron did not issue an apology because doing so might be mischaracterized as an admission of liability and would be contrary to facts and evidence submitted at trial. On January 20, 2012, Chevron appealed (called a petition for cassation) the appellate panel’s decision to Ecuador’s National Court of Justice. As part of the appeal, Chevron requested the suspension of any requirement that Chevron post a bond to prevent enforcement under Ecuadorian law of the judgment during the cassation appeal. On February 17, 2012, the appellate panel of the provincial court admitted Chevron’s cassation appeal in a procedural step necessary for the National Court of Justice to hear the appeal. The provincial court appellate panel denied Chevron’s request for suspension of the requirement that Chevron post a bond and stated that it would not comply with the First and Second Interim Awards of the international arbitration tribunal discussed below. On March 29, 2012, the matter was transferred from the provincial court to the National Court of Justice, and on November 22, 2012, the National Court agreed to hear Chevron's cassation appeal. On August 3, 2012, the provincial court in Lago Agrio approved a court-appointed liquidator’s report on damages that calculated the total judgment in the case to be $19,100. On November 13, 2013, the National Court ratified the judgment but nullified the $8,600 punitive damage assessment, resulting in a judgment of $9,500. On December 23, 2013, Chevron appealed the decision to the Ecuador Constitutional Court, Ecuador's highest ~~court, which agreed to consider~~court. The reporting justice of the Constitutional Court heard oral arguments on the appeal on ~~March 20, 2014.~~July 16, 2015.

On July 2, 2013, the provincial court in Lago Agrio issued an embargo order in Ecuador ordering that any funds to be paid by the Government of Ecuador to Chevron to satisfy a $96 award issued in an unrelated action by an arbitral tribunal presiding in the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague under the Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law must be paid to the Lago Agrio plaintiffs. The award was issued by the tribunal under the United States-Ecuador Bilateral Investment Treaty in an action filed in 2006 in connection with seven breach of contract cases that Texpet filed against the Government of Ecuador between 1991 and 1993. The Government of Ecuador has moved to set aside the tribunal's award. On September 26, 2014, the Supreme Court of the Netherlands issued an opinion denying Ecuador’s set aside request. A Federal District Court for the District of Columbia confirmed the tribunal's award, and on August 4, 2015, a panel of the ~~Government~~U.S. Court of ~~Ecuador has appealed~~Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the District Court's decision. On September 9, 2015, the Court of Appeals denied the Government of Ecuador's request for full appellate court review of the Federal District Court's decision.

Lago Agrio Plaintiffs' Enforcement ActionsChevron has no assets in Ecuador and the Lago Agrio plaintiffs' lawyers have stated in press releases and through other media that they will seek to enforce the Ecuadorian judgment in various countries and otherwise disrupt Chevron's operations. On May 30, 2012, the Lago Agrio plaintiffs filed an action against Chevron Corporation, Chevron Canada Limited, and Chevron Canada Finance Limited in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Ontario, Canada, seeking to recognize and enforce the Ecuadorian judgment. On May 1, 2013, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice held that the Court has jurisdiction over Chevron and Chevron Canada Limited for purposes of the action, but stayed the action due to the absence of evidence that Chevron Corporation has assets in Ontario. The Lago Agrio plaintiffs appealed that ~~decision. On~~decision and on December 17, 2013, the Court of Appeals for Ontario affirmed the lower court’s decision on jurisdiction and set aside the stay, allowing the recognition and enforcement action to be heard in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Chevron appealed the decision ~~concerning jurisdiction~~ to the Supreme Court of Canada and, on ~~January 16, 2014, the Court of Appeals for Ontario granted Chevron’s motion to stay the recognition and enforcement proceeding pending a decision on the admissibility of~~September 4, 2015, the Supreme Court ~~appeal. On April 3, 2014,~~dismissed the ~~Supreme~~appeal and affirmed that the Ontario Superior Court of ~~Canada granted Chevron’s and Chevron Canada Limited’s petitions to appeal the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision. On April 8, 2014,~~Justice has jurisdiction over Chevron and Chevron Canada Limited ~~filed their notices~~for purposes of ~~appeal with~~ the ~~Canada Supreme Court.~~action. The recognition and enforcement proceeding and related preliminary motions are proceeding in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

On June 27, 2012, the Lago Agrio plaintiffs filed ~~an action~~a complaint against Chevron Corporation in the Superior Court of Justice in Brasilia, Brazil, seeking to recognize and enforce the Ecuadorian judgment. Chevron has answered the complaint. In accordance with Brazilian procedure, the matter was referred to the public prosecutor for a nonbinding opinion of the issues raised in the complaint. On May 13, 2015, the public prosecutor issued its nonbinding opinion and recommended that the Superior Court of Justice reject the plaintiffs' recognition and enforcement request, finding, among other things, that the Lago Agrio judgment was

procured through fraud and corruption and cannot be recognized in Brazil because it violates Brazilian and international public order.

On October 15, 2012, the provincial court in Lago Agrio issued an ex parte embargo order that purports to order the seizure of assets belonging to separate Chevron subsidiaries in Ecuador, Argentina and Colombia. On November 6, 2012, at the request of the Lago Agrio plaintiffs, a court in Argentina issued a Freeze Order against Chevron Argentina S.R.L. and another Chevron subsidiary, Ingeniero Norberto

Priu, requiring shares of both companies to be "embargoed," requiring third parties to withhold 40 percent of any payments due to Chevron Argentina S.R.L. and ordering banks to withhold 40 percent of the funds in Chevron Argentina S.R.L. bank accounts. On December 14, 2012, the Argentinean court rejected a motion to revoke the Freeze Order but modified it by ordering that third parties are not required to withhold funds but must report their payments. The court also clarified that the Freeze Order relating to bank accounts excludes taxes. On January 30, 2013, an appellate court upheld the Freeze Order, but on June 4, 2013 the Supreme Court of Argentina revoked the Freeze Order in its entirety. On December 12, 2013, the Lago Agrio plaintiffs served Chevron with notice of their filing of an enforcement proceeding in the National Court, First Instance, of Argentina. Chevron filed its answer on February 27, ~~2014. Chevron intends~~2014, to ~~vigorously defend against~~which the ~~proceeding.~~ Lago Agrio plaintiffs responded on December 29, 2015.

Chevron continues to believe the provincial court’s judgment is illegitimate and unenforceable in Ecuador, the United States and other countries. The company also believes the judgment is the product of fraud, and contrary to the legitimate scientific evidence. Chevron cannot predict the timing or ultimate outcome of the appeals process in Ecuador or any enforcement action. Chevron expects to continue a vigorous defense of any imposition of liability in the Ecuadorian courts and to contest and defend any and all enforcement actions.

Company's Bilateral Investment Treaty Arbitration ClaimsChevron and Texpet filed an arbitration claim in September 2009 against the Republic of Ecuador before an arbitral tribunal presiding in the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague under the Rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law. The claim alleges violations of the Republic of Ecuador’s obligations under the United States–Ecuador Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) and breaches of the settlement and release agreements between the Republic of Ecuador and Texpet (described above), which are investment agreements protected by the BIT. Through the arbitration, Chevron and Texpet are seeking relief against the Republic of Ecuador, including a declaration that any judgment against Chevron in the Lago Agrio litigation constitutes a violation of Ecuador’s obligations under the BIT. On February 9, 2011, the Tribunal issued an Order for Interim Measures requiring the Republic of Ecuador to take all measures at its disposal to suspend or cause to be suspended the enforcement or recognition within and without Ecuador of any judgment against Chevron in the Lago Agrio case pending further order of the Tribunal. On January 25, 2012, the Tribunal converted the Order for Interim Measures into an Interim Award. Chevron filed a renewed application for further interim measures on January 4, 2012, and the Republic of Ecuador opposed Chevron’s application and requested that the existing Order for Interim Measures be vacated on January 9, 2012. On February 16, 2012, the Tribunal issued a Second Interim Award mandating that the Republic of Ecuador take all measures necessary (whether by its judicial, legislative or executive branches) to suspend or cause to be suspended the enforcement and recognition within and without Ecuador of the judgment against Chevron and, in particular, to preclude any certification by the Republic of Ecuador that would cause the judgment to be enforceable against Chevron. On February 27, 2012, the Tribunal issued a Third Interim Award confirming its jurisdiction to hear Chevron's arbitration claims. On February 7, 2013, the Tribunal issued its Fourth Interim Award in which it declared that the Republic of Ecuador “has violated the First and Second Interim Awards under the [BIT], the UNCITRAL Rules and international law in regard to the finalization and enforcement subject to execution of the Lago Agrio Judgment within and outside Ecuador, including (but not limited to) Canada, Brazil and Argentina.” The Republic of Ecuador subsequently filed in the District Court of the Hague a request to set aside the Tribunal’s Interim Awards and the First Partial Award (described below)~~. Chevron filed its answer to~~, and on January 20, 2016, the ~~set aside request on December 31, 2014.~~District Court denied the Republic's request.

The Tribunal has divided the merits phase of the proceeding into three phases. On September 17, 2013, the Tribunal issued its First Partial Award from Phase One, finding that the settlement agreements between the Republic of Ecuador and Texpet applied to Texpet and Chevron, released Texpet and Chevron from claims based on "collective" or "diffuse" rights arising from Texpet's operations in the former concession area and precluded third parties from asserting collective/diffuse rights environmental claims relating to Texpet's operations in the former concession area but did not preclude individual claims for personal harm. Chevron awaits a ruling from the Tribunal about whether the claims of the Lago Agrio plaintiffs are individual or collective/diffuse. The Tribunal had set Phase Two to begin on January 20, 2014 to hear Chevron's denial of justice claims, but on January 2, 2014, the Tribunal postponed Phase Two and held a procedural hearing on January 20-21, 2014. The Tribunal held a hearing on April 29-30, 2014, to address remaining issues relating to Phase ~~One. It also set~~One, and on March 12, 2015, it issued a nonbinding decision that the Lago Agrio plaintiffs' complaint, on its face, includes claims not barred by the settlement agreement between the Republic of Ecuador and Texpet. In the same decision, the Tribunal deferred to Phase Two remaining issues from Phase One, including whether the Republic of Ecuador breached the 1995 settlement agreement and the remedies

that are available to Chevron and Texpet as a result of that breach. Phase Two issues were addressed at a hearing onheld in April ~~20 to~~and May ~~6, 2015 to address Phase Two issues.~~2015. The Tribunal has not set a date for Phase Three, ~~which will be~~ the damages phase of the arbitration.

Company's RICO ActionThrough a series of U.S. court proceedings initiated by Chevron to obtain discovery relating to the Lago Agrio litigation and the BIT arbitration, Chevron obtained evidence that it believes shows a pattern of fraud, collusion, corruption, and other misconduct on the part of several lawyers, consultants and others acting for the Lago Agrio plaintiffs. In February 2011, Chevron filed a civil lawsuit in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Lago Agrio plaintiffs and several of their lawyers, consultants and supporters, alleging violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and other state laws. Through the civil lawsuit, Chevron is seeking relief that includes a

declaration that any judgment against Chevron in the Lago Agrio litigation is the result of fraud and other unlawful conduct and is therefore unenforceable. On March 7, 2011, the Federal District Court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Lago Agrio plaintiffs and persons acting in concert with them from taking any action in furtherance of recognition or enforcement of any judgment against Chevron in the Lago Agrio case pending resolution of Chevron’s civil lawsuit by the Federal District Court. On May 31, 2011, the Federal District Court severed claims one through eight of Chevron’s complaint from the ninth claim for declaratory relief and imposed a discovery stay on claims one through eight pending a trial on the ninth claim for declaratory relief. On September 19, 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit vacated the preliminary injunction, stayed the trial on Chevron’s ninth claim, a claim for declaratory relief, that had been set for November 14, 2011, and denied the defendants’ mandamus petition to recuse the judge hearing the lawsuit. The Second Circuit issued its opinion on January 26, 2012 ordering the dismissal of Chevron’s ninth claim for declaratory relief. On February 16, 2012, the Federal District Court lifted the stay on claims one through eight, and on October 18, 2012, the Federal District Court set a trial date of October 15, 2013. On March 22, 2013, Chevron settled its claims against Stratus Consulting, and on April 12, 2013 sworn declarations by representatives of Stratus Consulting were filed with the Court admitting their role and that of the plaintiffs' attorneys in drafting the environmental report of the mining engineer appointed by the provincial court in Lago Agrio. On September 26, 2013, the Second Circuit denied the defendants' Petition for Writ of Mandamus to recuse the judge hearing the case and to collaterally estop Chevron from seeking a declaration that the Lago Agrio judgment was obtained through fraud and other unlawful conduct.

The trial commenced on October 15, 2013 and concluded on November 22, 2013. On March 4, 2014, the Federal District Court entered a judgment in favor of Chevron, prohibiting the defendants from seeking to enforce the Lago Agrio judgment in the United States and further prohibiting them from profiting from their illegal acts. The defendants ~~filed their notices~~appealed the Federal District Court's decision, and, on April 20, 2015, a panel of ~~appeal on March 18, 2014.~~the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit heard oral arguments.

Management's AssessmentThe ultimate outcome of the foregoing matters, including any financial effect on Chevron, remains uncertain. Management does not believe an estimate of a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss) can be made in this case. Due to the defects associated with the Ecuadorian judgment, the 2008 engineer’s report on alleged damages and the September 2010 plaintiffs’ submission on alleged damages, management does not believe these documents have any utility in calculating a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss). Moreover, the highly uncertain legal environment surrounding the case provides no basis for management to estimate a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss).

Deferred tax liabilities at the end of ~~2014 increased~~2015 decreased by approximately ~~$3,300~~$700 from year-end ~~2013.~~2014. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily related to ~~increased~~decreased temporary differences ~~for~~related to property, plant and equipment.

The overall valuation allowance relates to deferred tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards, tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences. It reduces the deferred tax assets to amounts that are, in management’s assessment, more likely than not to be realized. At the end of ~~2014,~~2015, the company had tax loss carryforwards of approximately ~~$5,535~~$7,615 and tax credit carryforwards of approximately ~~$1,190,~~$1,249, primarily related to various international tax jurisdictions.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, deferred taxes were classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as follows:



	At December 31
	2015			2014
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	(917	)	$	(1,071	)
Deferred charges and other assets	(4,512		)	(3,597		)
Federal and other taxes on income	996			813
Noncurrent deferred income taxes	20,689			21,920
Total deferred income taxes, net	$	16,256		$	18,065

Income taxes are not accrued for unremitted earnings of international operations that have been or are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. Undistributed earnings of international consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates for which no deferred income tax provision has been made for possible future remittances totaled approximately ~~$35,700~~$45,400 at December 31, ~~2014.~~2015. This amount represents earnings reinvested as part of the company’s ongoing international business. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of taxes that might be payable on the possible remittance of earnings that are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. At the end of ~~2014,~~2015, deferred income taxes were recorded for the undistributed earnings of certain international operations where indefinite reinvestment of the earnings is not planned. The company does not anticipate incurring significant additional taxes on remittances of earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested.

Uncertain Income Tax Positions The company recognizes a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that the position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” in the accounting standards for income taxes refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods.

The following table indicates the changes to the company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 ~~2013~~ and ~~2012.~~2013. The term “unrecognized tax benefits” in the accounting standards for income taxes refers to the differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit measured and recognized in the financial statements. Interest and penalties are not included.

The decrease in unrecognized tax benefits between December 31, ~~2013,~~2014, and December 31, ~~2014~~2015 was primarily due to the ~~expiration~~resolution of ~~certain U.S. foreign~~numerous audit issues with various tax ~~credits in 2014, which had no impact on~~jurisdictions during the ~~company's results of operations.~~year.

Approximately 6871 percent of the ~~$3,552~~$3,042 of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, would have an impact on the effective tax rate if subsequently recognized. Certain of these unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax carryforwards that may require a full valuation allowance at the time of any such recognition.

Tax positions for Chevron and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to income tax audits by many tax jurisdictions throughout the world. For the company’s major tax jurisdictions, examinations of tax returns for certain prior tax years had not been completed as of December 31, ~~2014.~~2015. For these jurisdictions, the latest years for which income tax examinations had been finalized were as follows: United States – ~~2008,~~2011, Nigeria – 2000, Angola – ~~2001,~~2009, Saudi Arabia – 2012 and Kazakhstan – 2007.

The company engages in ongoing discussions with tax authorities regarding the resolution of tax matters in the various jurisdictions. Both the outcome of these tax matters and the timing of resolution and/or closure of the tax audits are highly uncertain. However, it is reasonably possible that developments on tax matters in certain tax jurisdictions may result in significant increases or decreases in the company’s total unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months. Given the number of years that still remain subject to examination and the number of matters being examined in the various tax jurisdictions, the company is unable to estimate the range of possible adjustments to the balance of unrecognized tax benefits.

Redeemable long-term obligations consist primarily of tax-exempt variable-rate put bonds that are included as current liabilities because they become redeemable at the option of the bondholders during the year following the balance sheet date.

The company may periodically enter into interest rate swaps on a portion of its short-term debt. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the company had no interest rate swaps on short-term debt.

At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the company had $8,000 in committed credit facilities with various major banks ~~expiring in December 2016,~~ that enable the refinancing of short-term obligations on a long-term basis. The credit facilities consist of a 364-day facility which enables borrowing of up to $6,000 and can be renewed for an additional 364-day period or the company can convert any amounts outstanding into a term loan for a period of up to one year, and a $2,000 five-year facility expiring in December 2020. These facilities support commercial paper borrowing and can also be used for general corporate purposes. The company’s practice has been to continually replace expiring commitments with new commitments on substantially the same terms, maintaining levels management believes appropriate. Any borrowings under the facilities would be unsecured indebtedness at interest rates based on the London Interbank Offered Rate or an average of base lending rates published by specified banks and on terms reflecting the company’s strong credit rating. No borrowings were outstanding under these facilities at December 31, ~~2014.~~2015.

At both December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013,~~2014, the company classified $8,000 of short-term debt as long-term. Settlement of these obligations is not expected to require the use of working capital within one year, and the company has both the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to refinance them on a long-term basis.

~~New Accounting Standards~~Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

~~Revenue Recognition (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09)~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which becomes effective for the company January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The standard provides that an entity should recognize revenue to align with the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU, which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP, provides a five-step model for recognition of revenue, guidance on the accounting for certain costs of obtaining or fulfilling contracts with customers and specific disclosure requirements. Transition guidance permits either retrospective application or presentation of the cumulative effect at the adoption date. The company is reviewing the requirements of the ASU to determine the transition method it will apply and to update its assessments developed throughout the FASB’s deliberation period. The company is evaluating the effect of the standard on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells

The company continues to capitalize exploratory well costs after the completion of drilling when (a) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify completion as a producing well, and (b) the business unit is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If either condition is not met or if the company obtains information that raises substantial doubt about the economic or operational viability of the project, the exploratory well would be assumed to be impaired, and its costs, net of any salvage value, would be charged to expense.

Of the ~~$2,673~~$2,823 of exploratory well costs capitalized for more than one year at December 31, ~~2014, $1,460 (21~~2015, $1,662 (20 projects) is related to projects that had drilling activities under way or firmly planned for the near future. The ~~$1,213~~$1,161 balance is related to 3019 projects in areas requiring a major capital expenditure before production could begin and for which additional drilling efforts were not under way or firmly planned for the near future. Additional drilling was not deemed necessary because the presence of hydrocarbons had already been established, and other activities were in process to enable a future decision on project development.

The projects for the ~~$1,213~~$1,161 referenced above had the following activities associated with assessing the reserves and the projects’ economic viability: (a) ~~$289 (six~~$190 (two projects) – undergoing front-end engineering and design with final investment decision expected within ~~two~~four years; (b) ~~$213 (three projects)~~$99 (one project) – development concept under review by government; (c) ~~$600 (10~~$814 (seven projects) – development alternatives under review; (d) ~~$111 (11~~$58 (nine projects) – miscellaneous activities for projects with smaller amounts suspended. While progress was being made on all 5139 projects, the decision on the recognition of proved reserves under SEC rules in some cases may not occur for several years because of the complexity, scale and negotiations associated with the projects. Approximately half of these decisions are expected to occur in the next five years.

The ~~$2,673~~$2,823 of suspended well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, represents ~~209~~165 exploratory wells in 5139 projects. The tables below contain the aging of these costs on a well and project basis:

Awards under the Chevron Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) ~~Awards under the LTIP~~ may take the form of, but are not limited to, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and nonstock grants. From April 2004 through May 2023, no more than 260 million shares may be issued under the LTIP. For awards issued on or after May 29, 2013, no more than 50 million of those shares may be in a form other than a stock option, stock appreciation right or award requiring full payment for shares by the award recipient. For the major types of awards outstanding as of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the contractual terms vary between three years for the performance units and restricted stock units, and 10 years for the stock options and stock appreciation rights.

Remaining awards under the Unocal Share-Based Plans ~~(Unocal Plans)~~When Chevron acquired Unocal in August 2005, outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under various Unocal Plans were exchanged for fully vested Chevron options and appreciation rights. These awards retained the same provisions as the original Unocal Plans. Unexercised awards began expiringexpired in early ~~2010 and will continue to expire through early~~ 2015.

The fair market values of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted in 2015, 2014 ~~2013~~ and ~~2012~~2013 were measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions:


	Year ended December 31									Year ended December 31

The total intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the exercise price and the market price) of options exercised during 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $120, $398 and ~~2012 was $398,~~ $445, ~~and $580,~~ respectively. During this period, the company continued its practice of issuing treasury shares upon exercise of these awards.

As of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, there was ~~$226~~$190 of total unrecognized before-tax compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

At January 1, ~~2014,~~2015, the number of LTIP performance units outstanding was equivalent to ~~2,531,270~~2,265,952 shares. During ~~2014, 772,800~~2015, 890,000 units were granted, ~~967,234~~828,868 units vested with cash proceeds distributed to recipients and ~~70,884~~134,147 units were forfeited. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, units outstanding were ~~2,265,952.~~2,192,937. The fair value of the liability recorded for these instruments was ~~$212,~~$166, and was measured using the Monte Carlo simulation method. In addition, outstanding stock appreciation rights and other awards that were granted under various LTIP ~~and former Unocal~~ programs totaled approximately ~~3.3~~4.5 million equivalent shares as of December 31, ~~2014.~~2015. A liability of ~~$78~~$51 was recorded for these awards.

Employee Benefit Plans

The company has defined benefit pension plans for many employees. The company typically prefunds defined benefit plans as required by local regulations or in certain situations where prefunding provides economic advantages. In the United States, all qualified plans are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) minimum funding standard. The company does not typically fund U.S. nonqualified pension plans that are not subject to funding requirements under laws and regulations

FS--51

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

because contributions to these pension plans may be less economic and investment returns may be less attractive than the company’s other investment alternatives.

The company also sponsors other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans that provide medical and dental benefits, as well as life insurance for some active and qualifying retired employees. The plans are unfunded, and the company and retirees share the costs. Medical coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees in the company’s main U.S. medical plan is secondary to Medicare (including Part D) and the increase to the company contribution for retiree medical coverage is limited to no more than 4 percent each year. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company.

The company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit pension and OPEB plans as an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The funded status of the company’s pension and ~~other postretirement benefit~~OPEB plans for ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014 follows:

Net actuarial losses recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, for the company’s U.S. pension, international pension and OPEB plans are being amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately 10, 1210 and 1516 years, respectively. These amortization periods represent the estimated average remaining service of employees expected to receive benefits under the plans. These losses are amortized to the extent they exceed 10 percent of the higher of the projected benefit obligation or market-related value of plan assets. The amount subject to amortization is determined on a plan-by-plan basis. During ~~2015,~~2016, the company estimates actuarial losses of ~~$356, $81~~$335, $56 and ~~$34~~$19 will be amortized from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for U.S. pension, international pension and OPEB plans, respectively. In addition, the company estimates an additional ~~$216~~$324 will be recognized from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” during ~~2015~~2016 related to lump-sum settlement costs from the main U.S. pension ~~plans.~~plan.

Expected Return on Plan Assets The company’s estimated long-term rates of return on pension assets are driven primarily by actual historical asset-class returns, an assessment of expected future performance, advice from external actuarial firms and the incorporation of specific asset-class risk factors. Asset allocations are periodically updated using pension plan asset/liability studies, and the company’s estimated long-term rates of return are consistent with these studies.

For ~~2014,~~2015, the company used an expected long-term rate of return of 7.5 percent for U.S. pension plan assets, which account for 7271 percent of the company’s pension plan assets. In both ~~2013~~2014 and ~~2012,~~2013, the company used a long-term rate of return of 7.5 percent for this plan.

The market-related value of assets of the ~~major~~main U.S. pension plan used in the determination of pension expense was based on the market values in the three months preceding the year-end measurement date. Management considers the three-month time period long enough to minimize the effects of distortions from day-to-day market volatility and still be contemporaneous to the end of the year. For other plans, market value of assets as of year-end is used in calculating the pension expense.

Discount Rate The discount rate assumptions used to determine the U.S. and international pension and ~~postretirement benefit~~OPEB plan obligations and expense reflect the rate at which benefits could be effectively settled, and isare equal to the equivalent single rate resulting from yield curve analysis. This analysis considered the projected benefit payments specific to the company's plans and the yields on high-quality bonds. At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the ~~company used a 3.7 percent discount rate~~projected cash flows were discounted to the valuation date using the yield curve for the main U.S. pension ~~plans~~ and ~~4.1~~OPEB plans. The effective discount rates derived from this analysis were 4.0 percent for the main U.S. pension plan and 4.5 percent for the main U.S. OPEB plan. The discount rates for these plans at the end of 2014 were 3.7 and 4.1 percent, respectively, while in 2013 they were 4.3 and 4.7 percent ~~respectively, while in 2012 they were 3.6 and 3.9 percent~~ for these plans, respectively.

The company changed the method used to estimate the service and interest costs associated with the company’s main U.S. pension and OPEB plans. In prior years, the service and interest costs were estimated utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the defined benefit obligations at the beginning of the year. Under the new method, these costs are estimated by applying spot rates along the yield curve to the relevant projected cash flows. The change was made to provide a more precise measurement of the service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected benefit cash flows and the corresponding spot yield curve rates. This change in accounting estimate is accounted for prospectively beginning with the year ending December 31, 2016. The company does not expect the change to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Other Benefit Assumptions For the measurement of accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, for the main U.S. ~~postretirement medical~~OPEB plan, the assumed health care cost-trend rates start with ~~7.0~~7.1 percent in ~~2015~~2016 and gradually decline to 4.5 percent for 2025 and beyond. For this measurement at December 31, ~~2013,~~2014, the assumed health care cost-trend rates started with ~~7.3~~7 percent in ~~2014~~2015 and gradually declined to 4.5 percent for 2025 and beyond. In both measurements, the annual increase to company contributions was capped at 4 percent.

Assumed health care cost-trend rates can have a significant effect on the amounts reported for retiree health care costs. The impact is mitigated by the 4 percent cap on the company’s medical contributions for the ~~primary~~main U.S. plan. A 1-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost-trend rates would have the following effects on worldwide plans:


	1 Percent Increase		1 Percent Decrease			1 Percent Increase		1 Percent Decrease
Effect on total service and interest cost components	$	13	$	(10	)	$	20	$	(17	)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation	$	226	$	(187	)	$	192	$	(164	)

Plan Assets and Investment Strategy ~~The fair value hierarchy of inputs the company uses to value the pension assets is divided into three levels:~~

~~Level 1: Fair values of these assets are measured using unadjusted quoted prices for the assets or the prices of identical assets in active markets that the plans have the ability to access.~~

Level 2: Fair values of these assets are measured based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset; and inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation or other means. If the asset has a contractual term, the Level 2 input is observable for substantially the full term of the asset. The fair values for Level 2 assets are generally obtained from third-party broker quotes, independent pricing services and exchanges.

~~Level 3: Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable for these assets. Valuation may be performed using a financial model incorporating estimated inputs.~~

The fair value measurements of the company’s pension plans for ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013~~2014 are below:

The primary investment objectives of the pension plans are to achieve the highest rate of total return within prudent levels of risk and liquidity, to diversify and mitigate potential downside risk associated with the investments, and to provide adequate liquidity for benefit payments and portfolio management.

The company’s U.S. and U.K. pension plans comprise 91 percent of the total pension assets. Both the U.S. and U.K. plans have an Investment Committee that regularly meets during the year to review the asset holdings and their returns. To assess the plans’ investment performance, long-term asset allocation policy benchmarks have been established.

For the primary U.S. pension plan, the company's Benefit Plan Investment Committee has established the following approved asset allocation ranges: Equities 40–70 percent, Fixed Income and Cash 20–60 percent, Real Estate 0–15 percent, and Other 0–5 percent. For the U.K. pension plan, the U.K. Board of Trustees has established the following asset allocation ~~guidelines, which are reviewed regularly:~~guidelines: Equities ~~30-50~~30–50 percent, Fixed Income and Cash 35–65 percent, and Real Estate ~~5-15~~5–15 percent. The other significant international pension plans also have established maximum and minimum asset allocation ranges that vary by plan. Actual asset allocation within approved ranges is based on a variety of current economic and market conditions and consideration of specific asset class risk. To mitigate concentration and other risks, assets are invested across multiple asset classes with active investment managers and passive index funds.

The company does not prefund its OPEB obligations.

Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments In ~~2014,~~2015, the company contributed ~~$99~~$641 and ~~$293~~$227 to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively. In ~~2015,~~2016, the company expects contributions to be approximately ~~$350~~$650 to its U.S. ~~plan~~plans and $250 to its international pension plans. Actual contribution amounts are dependent upon investment returns, changes in pension obligations, regulatory environments and other economic factors. Additional funding may ultimately be required if investment returns are insufficient to offset increases in plan obligations.

The company anticipates paying ~~other postretirement~~OPEB benefits of approximately ~~$198~~$191 in ~~2015; $200~~2016; $196 was paid in ~~2014.~~2015.

The following benefit payments, which include estimated future service, are expected to be paid by the company in the next 10 years:

Employee Savings Investment Plan Eligible employees of Chevron and certain of its subsidiaries participate in the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan (ESIP). Compensation expense for the ESIP totaled $316, $316 and $163 in 2015, 2014 and ~~$243 in 2014,~~ 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ respectively. The ~~amounts~~amount for ESIP expense in 2013 ~~and 2012 are~~is net of $140, ~~and $43, respectively,~~ which ~~reflect~~reflects the value of common stock released from the former leveraged employee stock ownership plan (LESOP). LESOP debt was retired in 2013, and all remaining shares were released.

Benefit Plan Trusts Prior to its acquisition by Chevron, Texaco established a benefit plan trust for funding obligations under some of its benefit plans. At year-end ~~2014,~~2015, the trust contained 14.2 million shares of Chevron treasury stock. The trust will sell the shares or use the dividends from the shares to pay benefits only to the extent that the company does not pay such benefits. The company intends to continue to pay its obligations under the benefit plans. The trustee will vote the shares held in the trust as instructed by the trust’s beneficiaries. The shares held in the trust are not considered outstanding for earnings-per-share purposes until distributed or sold by the trust in payment of benefit obligations.

Prior to its acquisition by Chevron, Unocal established various grantor trusts to fund obligations under some of its benefit plans, including the deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plans. At December 31, ~~2014~~2015 and ~~2013,~~2014, trust assets of ~~$38~~$36 and ~~$40,~~$38, respectively, were invested primarily in interest-earning accounts.

Employee Incentive Plans The Chevron Incentive Plan is an annual cash bonus plan for eligible employees that links awards to corporate, business unit and individual performance in the prior year. Charges to expense for cash bonuses were $690, $965 and $871 in 2015, 2014 and ~~$898 in 2014,~~ 2013, ~~and 2012,~~ respectively. Chevron also has the LTIP for officers and other regular salaried employees of the company and its subsidiaries who hold positions of significant responsibility. Awards under the LTIP consist of stock options and other share-based compensation that are described in Note ~~21,~~22, beginning on page FS-50.

Other Contingencies and Commitments

Income Taxes The company calculates its income tax expense and liabilities quarterly. These liabilities generally are subject to audit and are not finalized with the individual taxing authorities until several years after the end of the annual period for which income taxes have been calculated. Refer to Note ~~16,~~18, beginning on page FS-45, for a discussion of the periods for which tax returns have been audited for the company’s major tax jurisdictions and a discussion for all tax jurisdictions of the differences between the amount of tax benefits recognized in the financial statements and the amount taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

Settlement of open tax years, as well as other tax issues in countries where the company conducts its businesses, are not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the company and, in the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for income and franchise taxes for all years under examination or subject to future examination.

Guarantees The company’s guarantee of ~~$485~~$447 is associated with certain payments under a terminal use agreement entered into by an equity affiliate. Over the approximate ~~13-year~~12-year remaining term of the guarantee, the maximum guarantee amount will be reduced as certain fees are paid by the affiliate. There are numerous cross-indemnity agreements with the affiliate and the other partners to permit recovery of amounts paid under the guarantee. Chevron has recorded no liability for its obligation under this guarantee.

Indemnifications In the acquisition of Unocal, the company assumed certain indemnities relating to contingent environmental liabilities associated with assets that were sold in 1997. The acquirer of those assets shared in certain environmental remediation costs up to a maximum obligation of $200, which had been reached at December 31, 2009. Under the indemnification agreement, after reaching the $200 obligation, Chevron is solely responsible until April 2022, when the indemnification expires. The environmental conditions or events that are subject to these indemnities must have arisen prior to the sale of the assets in 1997.

Although the company has provided for known obligations under this indemnity that are probable and reasonably estimable, the amount of additional future costs may be material to results of operations in the period in which they are recognized. The company does not expect these costs will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Environmental The company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to laws, regulations, private claims and legal proceedings related to environmental matters that are subject to legal settlements or that in the future may require the company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemicals or petroleum substances, including MTBE, by the company or other parties. Such contingencies may exist for various operating, closed and divested sites, including, but not limited to, federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, refineries, chemical plants, marketing facilities, crude oil fields, ~~service stations, terminals, land development areas,~~ and mining ~~operations, whether operating, closed or divested. These~~sites.

Although the company has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, it is likely that the company will continue to incur additional liabilities. The amount of additional future costs are not fully determinable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from third parties.

~~Although the company has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, the amount of additional~~ These future costs may be material to results of operations in the period in which they are ~~recognized. The~~recognized, but the company does not expect these costs will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity. Also, the company does not believe its obligations to make such expenditures have had, or will have, any significant impact on the company’s competitive position relative to other U.S. or international petroleum or chemical companies.

Chevron’s environmental reserve as of December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, was ~~$1,683.~~$1,578. Included in this balance were $348 related to remediation activities at approximately ~~164~~163 sites for which the company had been identified as a potentially responsible party ~~or otherwise involved in the remediation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or other regulatory agencies~~ under the provisions of the federal Superfund law or analogous state ~~laws. The company’s remediation reserve for these sites at year-end 2014 was $456. The federal Superfund law and analogous state~~ laws which provide for joint and several liability for all responsible parties. Any future actions by ~~the EPA or other~~ regulatory agencies to require Chevron to assume other potentially responsible parties’ costs at designated hazardous waste sites are not expected to have a material effect on the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Of the remaining year-end ~~2014~~2015 environmental reserves balance of ~~$1,227, $868~~$1,230, $845 is related to the company’s U.S. downstream operations, ~~including refineries and other plants, marketing locations (i.e., service stations and terminals), chemical facilities, and pipelines. The remaining $359 was associated with various sites in~~$58 to its international downstream ~~$79,~~operations, $323 to upstream ~~$275~~operations and $4 to other ~~businesses $5.~~businesses. Liabilities at all sites ~~whether operating, closed or divested,~~ were primarily associated with the company’s plans and activities to remediate soil or groundwater contamination or both. These and other activities include one or more of the following: site assessment; soil excavation; offsite disposal of contaminants; onsite containment, remediation and/or extraction of petroleum hydrocarbon liquid and vapor from soil; groundwater extraction and treatment; and monitoring of the natural attenuation of the contaminants.

The company manages environmental liabilities under specific sets of regulatory requirements, which in the United States include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and various state and local regulations. No single remediation site at year-end ~~2014~~2015 had a recorded liability that was material to the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.

It is likely that the company will continue to incur additional liabilities, beyond those recorded, for environmental remediation relating to past operations. These future costs are not fully determinable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the company’s liability in proportion to other responsible parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from third parties.

Refer to Note 2425 on page FS-59 for a discussion of the company’s asset retirement obligations.

Other Contingencies On ~~April 26, 2010,~~November 7, 2011, while drilling a ~~California appeals court issued~~development well in the deepwater Frade Field about 75 miles offshore Brazil, an unanticipated pressure spike caused oil to migrate from the well bore through a ~~ruling~~series of fissures to the sea floor, emitting approximately 2,400 barrels of oil. The source of the seep was substantially contained within four days and the well was plugged and abandoned. On March 14, 2012, the company identified a small, second seep in a different part of the field. No evidence of any coastal or wildlife impacts related to ~~the adequacy~~either of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) supporting the issuance of certain permits by the city of Richmond, California, to replace and upgrade certain facilities at Chevron's refinery in Richmond. Settlement discussions with plaintiffsthese seeps emerged. As reported in the ~~case ended late fourth quarter 2010, and on March 3, 2011,~~company’s previously filed periodic reports, it has resolved civil claims relating to these incidents brought by a Brazilian federal district prosecutor. As also reported previously, the federal district prosecutor also filed criminal charges against Chevron and11 Chevron employees. These charges were dismissed by the trial court ~~entered a final judgment~~on February 19, 2013, reinstated by an appellate court on October 9, 2013, and ~~peremptory writ ordering~~then, upon Chevron’s motion for reconsideration, dismissed by the ~~City to set aside~~appellate court on August 27, 2015. The federal district prosecutor has appealed the project EIR and conditional use permits and enjoining Chevron from any further work. On May 23, 2011, the company filed an application with the City Planning Department for a conditional use permit for a revised project to complete construction of the hydrogen plant, certain sulfur removal facilities and related infrastructure.appellate court’s decision.

The public comment period closed in May 2014, the final EIR was released on June 9, 2014, and on July 29, 2014, the Richmond City Council certified the EIR and approved a conditional use permit. The company is now seeking to secure the further necessary approvals to resume construction. Although the City Council has certified the EIR, management believes the outcomes associated with the project are uncertain. Due to the uncertainty of the company's future course of action, or potential outcomes of any action or combination of actions, management does not believe an estimate of the financial effects, if any, can be made at this time.

Chevron receives claims from and submits claims to customers; trading partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies; governments; contractors; insurers; suppliers; and ~~suppliers.~~individuals. The amounts of these claims, individually and in the aggregate, may be significant and take lengthy periods to ~~resolve.~~resolve, and may result in gains or losses in future periods.

The company and its affiliates also continue to review and analyze their operations and may close, abandon, sell, exchange, acquire or restructure assets to achieve operational or strategic benefits and to improve competitiveness and profitability. These activities, individually or together, may result in significant gains or losses in future periods.

Note 2425

Asset Retirement Obligations

The company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) as an asset and liability when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The legal obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional, even though uncertainty may exist about the timing and/or method of settlement that may be beyond the company’s control. This uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement is factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate fair value. Recognition of the ARO includes: (1) the present value of a liability and offsetting asset, (2) the subsequent accretion of that liability and depreciation of the asset, and (3) the periodic review of the ARO liability estimates and discount rates.

AROs are primarily recorded for the company’s crude oil and natural gas producing assets. No significant AROs associated with any legal obligations to retire downstream long-lived assets have been recognized, as indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent estimation of the fair value of the associated ARO. The company performs periodic reviews of its downstream long-lived assets for any changes in facts and circumstances that might require recognition of a retirement obligation.

The following table indicates the changes to the company’s before-tax asset retirement obligations in 2015, 2014 ~~2013~~ and ~~2012:~~2013:


	2014			2013			2012			2015			2014			2013

In the table above, the amounts associated with "Revisions in estimated cash flows" generally reflect ~~increasing costs for complex well abandonments~~increased cost estimates to abandon wells, equipment and facilities and accelerated timing of abandonment. The long-term portion of the ~~$15,053~~$15,642 balance at the end of ~~2014~~2015 was ~~$14,246.~~$14,892.

Restructuring and Reorganization Costs

In 2015, the company recorded accruals and adjustments for employee reduction programs related to the restructuring and reorganization of its corporate staffs and certain upstream operations. The employee reductions are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2016.

A before-tax charge of $353 ($223 after-tax) was recorded in 2015, with $219 reported as “Operating Expenses” and $134 reported as "Selling, general and administrative expense" on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The accrued liability, covering severance benefits, is classified as current on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Approximately $134 ($87 after-tax) is associated with employee reductions in All Other, $113 ($73 after-tax) in U.S. Upstream and $106 ($63 after-tax) in International Upstream.

During 2015, the company made payments of $60 million associated with these liabilities. The following table summarizes the accrued severance liability, which is classified as current on the Consolidated Balance Sheet:

Reserves Governance The company has adopted a comprehensive reserves and resource classification system modeled after a system developed and approved by the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the World Petroleum Congress and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists. The system classifies recoverable hydrocarbons into six categories based on their status at the time of reporting -– three deemed commercial and three potentially recoverable. Within the commercial classification are proved reserves and two categories of unproved: probable and possible. The potentially recoverable categories are also referred to as contingent resources. For reserves estimates to be classified as proved, they must meet all SEC and company standards.

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. Net proved reserves exclude royalties and interests owned by others and reflect contractual arrangements and royalty obligations in effect at the time of the estimate.

Proved reserves are classified as either developed or undeveloped. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.

Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, estimates of reserves are subject to change as additional information becomes available.

FS--65

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities - Unaudited

Proved reserves are estimated by company asset teams composed of earth scientists and engineers. As part of the internal control process related to reserves estimation, the company maintains a Reserves Advisory Committee (RAC) that is chaired by the Manager of Corporate Reserves, a corporate department that ~~reports directly to~~is separate from the ~~Vice Chairman responsible for the company’s worldwide exploration and production activities.~~Upstream operating organization. The Manager of Corporate Reserves has more than 30 years’ experience working in the oil and gas industry and a Master of Science in Petroleum Engineering degree from Stanford University. His experience includes more than 15 years of managing oil and gas reserves processes. He was chairman of the Society of Petroleum Engineers Oil and Gas Reserves Committee, served on the United Nations Expert Group on Resources Classification, and is a past member of the Joint Committee on Reserves Evaluator Training and the California Conservation Committee. He is an active member of the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers and serves on the Society of Petroleum Engineers Oil and Gas Reserves Committee.

All RAC members are degreed professionals, each with more than 10 years of experience in various aspects of reserves estimation relating to reservoir engineering, petroleum engineering, earth science or finance. The members are knowledgeable in SEC guidelines for proved reserves classification and receive annual training on the preparation of reserves estimates. ~~The reserves activities are managed by two operating company-level reserves managers. These two reserves managers are not members of the RAC so as to preserve corporate-level independence.~~

The RAC has the following primary responsibilities: establish the policies and processes used within the operating units to estimate reserves; provide independent reviews and oversight of the business units’ recommended reserves estimates and changes; confirm that proved reserves are recognized in accordance with SEC guidelines; determine that reserve volumes are calculated using consistent and appropriate standards, procedures and technology; and maintain the Corporate Reserves Manual, which provides standardized procedures used corporatewide for classifying and reporting hydrocarbon reserves.

During the year, the RAC is represented in meetings with each of the company’s upstream business units to review and discuss reserve changes recommended by the various asset teams. Major changes are also reviewed with the company’s Strategy and Planning Committee, whose members include the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The company’s annual reserve activity is also reviewed with the Board of Directors. If major changes to reserves were to occur between the annual reviews, those matters would also be discussed with the Board.

RAC subteams also conduct in-depth reviews during the year of many of the fields that have large proved reserves quantities. These reviews include an examination of the proved-reserve records and documentation of their compliance with the Corporate Reserves Manual.

Technologies Used in Establishing Proved Reserves Additions In ~~2014,~~2015, additions to Chevron’s proved reserves were based on a wide range of geologic and engineering technologies. Information generated from wells, such as well logs, wire line sampling, production and pressure testing, fluid analysis, and core analysis, was integrated with seismic data, regional geologic studies, and information from analogous reservoirs to provide “reasonably certain” proved reserves estimates. Both proprietary and commercially available analytic tools, including reservoir simulation, geologic modeling and seismic processing, have been used in the interpretation of the subsurface data. These technologies have been utilized extensively by the company in the past, and the company believes that they provide a high degree of confidence in establishing reliable and consistent reserves estimates.

Proved Undeveloped Reserves At the end of ~~2014,~~2015, proved undeveloped reserves totaled ~~5.0~~4.3 billion barrels of oil-equivalent (BOE), a decrease of ~~174~~687 million BOE from year-end ~~2013.~~2014. The decrease was due to the transfer of ~~646~~1,027 million BOE to proved developed and 2 million BOE in sales, partially offset by increases of ~~277~~273 million BOE in extensions and discoveries, ~~169~~65 million BOE in revisions, and 284 million BOE in improved recovery.

During ~~2014,~~2015, investments totaling approximately ~~$15.4~~$14.3 billion in oil and gas producing activities and about ~~$2.9~~$2.3 billion in non-oil and gas producing activities were expended to advance the development of proved undeveloped reserves. Australia accounted for about ~~$7.1~~$6.4 billion of the total, mainly for development and construction activities at the Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG projects. Expenditures of about ~~$3.4~~$2.7 billion in the United States related primarily to various development activities in the Gulf of Mexico and the midcontinent region. In Asia, expenditures during the year totaled approximately ~~$3.3~~$3.2 billion, primarily related to development projects of the TCO affiliate in Kazakhstan, and in Thailand. In Africa, about $2.8 billion was expended on various offshore development and natural gas projects in Nigeria, Angola and ~~Angola.~~Republic of the Congo. Development activities in Canada ~~and Brazil~~ were primarily responsible for about ~~$1.6~~$1.5 billion of expenditures in Other Americas.

Reserves that remain proved undeveloped for five or more years are a result of several factors that affect optimal project development and execution, such as the complex nature of the development project in adverse and remote locations, physical limitations of infrastructure or plant capacities that dictate project timing, compression projects that are pending reservoir pressure declines, and contractual limitations that dictate production levels.

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities - Unaudited

At year-end ~~2014,~~2015, the company held approximately ~~2.5~~2.2 billion BOE of proved undeveloped reserves that have remained undeveloped for five years or more. The majority of these reserves are in three locations where the company has a proven track record of developing major projects. In Australia, approximately ~~700~~500 million BOE have remained undeveloped for five years or more related to the Gorgon Project. The company is currently constructing liquefaction and other facilities in Australia to develop this natural gas. In Africa, approximately 400 million BOE have remained undeveloped for five years or more, primarily due to facility constraints at various fields and infrastructure associated with the Escravos gas projects in Nigeria. Affiliates account for about 1.1 billion BOE of proved undeveloped reserves that have remained undeveloped for five years or more, with the majority related to the TCO affiliate in Kazakhstan. At TCO, further field development to convert the remaining proved undeveloped reserves is scheduled to occur in line with reservoir depletion.

Annually, the company assesses whether any changes have occurred in facts or circumstances, such as changes to development plans, regulations or government policies, that would warrant a revision to reserve estimates. In 2015, significant reductions in commodity prices negatively impacted the economic limits of oil and gas properties, resulting in proved reserve decreases, and positively impacted proved reserves due to entitlement effects. The year-end reserves volumes have been updated for these circumstances and significant changes have been discussed in the appropriate reserves sections. For ~~2014,~~2015, this assessment did not result in any material changes in reserves classified as proved undeveloped. Over the past three years, the ratio of proved undeveloped reserves to total proved reserves has ranged between 4438 percent and 46 percent. The consistent completion of major capital projects has kept the ratio in a narrow range over this time period.

Proved Reserve Quantities For the three years ending December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the pattern of net reserve changes shown in the following tables are not necessarily indicative of future trends. Apart from acquisitions, the company’s ability to add proved reserves can be affected by events and circumstances that are outside the company’s control, such as delays in government permitting, partner approvals of development plans, changes in oil and gas prices, OPEC constraints, geopolitical uncertainties, and civil unrest.

At December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, proved reserves for the company were ~~11.1~~11.2 billion BOE. The company’s estimated net proved reserves of liquids including crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids and synthetic oil for the years ~~2012,~~ 2013, 2014 and ~~2014~~2015 are shown in the table on page FS-68. The company’s estimated net proved reserves of natural gas are shown on page FS-69.

Noteworthy changes in natural gas proved reserves for ~~2012~~2013 through ~~2014~~2015 are discussed below and shown in the table above:

Revisions In 2012, net revisions of 1,007 BCF in Asia were primarily due to development drilling and additional compression in Bangladesh, and drilling results and improved field performance in Thailand. In Australia, updated reservoir data interpretation based on additional drilling at the Gorgon Project drove the 358 BCF increase. Drilling results from activities in the Marcellus Shale were responsible for the majority of the 318 BCF increase in the United States.

In 2013, net revisions of 627 BCF in Asia were primarily due to development drilling and improved field performance in Bangladesh and Thailand. In Australia, drilling performance drove the 229 BCF increase. The majority of the net decrease of 234 BCF in the United States was due to a change in development plans in the Appalachian region.

In 2014, net revisions of 775 BCF in Australia were primarily due to development drilling at Gorgon.

In 2015, positive drilling performance at Wheatstone and Gorgon was responsible for the 974 BCF increase in Australia. Net revisions of 480 BCF in Asia were primarily due to improved field performance in Thailand and to entitlement effects and improved performance in Kazakhstan. The majority of the net decrease of 435 BCF in Other Americas was due to the deferral of the infill drilling and compression projects as well as drilling results in Trinidad and Tobago. The 218 BCF increase for the TCO affiliate was due to entitlement effects and improved performance.

Extensions and Discoveries ~~In 2012, extensions and discoveries of 747 BCF in Australia were primarily due to positive drilling results at the Gorgon Project.~~

In 2013, extensions and discoveries of 951 BCF in the United States were primarily in the Appalachian region.

In 2014, extensions and discoveries of 614 BCF in the United States were primarily in the Appalachian region and the Delaware Basin.

Table VI - Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Related to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is calculated in accordance with SEC and FASB requirements. This includes using the average of first-day-of-the-month oil and gas prices for the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period, estimated future development and production costs assuming the continuation of existing economic conditions, estimated costs for asset retirement obligations (includes costs to retire existing wells and facilities in addition to those future wells and facilities necessary to produce proved undeveloped reserves), and estimated future income taxes based on appropriate statutory tax rates. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated using 10 percent mid-period discount factors. Estimates of proved-reserve quantities are imprecise and change over time as new information becomes available. Probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. The valuation requires assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs. The calculations are made as of December 31 each year and do not represent management’s estimate of the company’s future cash flows or value of its oil and gas reserves. In the following table, the caption “Standardized Measure Net Cash Flows” refers to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.
