Summary Description of Chevron

Chevron Corporation,¹ 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, chemicals operations, mining operations, power generation and energy services. Exploration and production (upstream) operations consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas and also marketing natural gas. Refining, marketing and transportation (downstream) operations relate to refining crude oil into finished petroleum products; marketing crude oil and the many products derived from petroleum; and transporting crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car. Chemical operations include the manufacture and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and fuel and lubricant oil additives.

~~On August 10, 2005, the company acquired Unocal Corporation (Unocal), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Discussion of the Unocal acquisition is in Note 2 onpage FS-34.~~

A list of the company’s major subsidiaries is presented on pages~~E-4~~E-125 and~~E-5.~~E-126. As of December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, Chevron had approximately ~~65,000~~67,000 employees (including about ~~6,000~~5,000 service station employees). Approximately ~~31,000,~~32,000 employees (including about 4,000 service station employees), or 48 percent, ~~of the company’s employees~~ were employed in U.S. operations.

Overview of Petroleum Industry

Petroleum industry operations and profitability are influenced by many factors, and individual petroleum companies have little control over some of them. Governmental policies, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy and the environment have a significant impact on petroleum activities, regulating how companies are structured and where and how companies conduct their operations and formulate their products and, in some cases, limiting their profits directly. Prices for crude oil and natural gas, petroleum products and petrochemicals are generally determined by supply and demand for these commodities. However, some governments impose price controls on refined products such as gasoline or diesel fuel. The members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are typically the world’s swing producers of crude oil, and their production levels 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. Seasonality is not a primary driver to changes in the company’s quarterly earnings during the year.

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 also competes with fully integrated major petroleum companies and other independent refining, marketing and transportation entities 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-8 of thisForm 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.

¹ 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, it does 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.

The upstream, downstream and chemicals activities of the company and its equity affiliates are widely dispersed geographically, with operations in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and ~~Australasia.~~Australia. Tabulations of segment sales and other operating revenues, earnings and income taxes for the three years ending December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, and assets as of the end of ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006~~2007 — for the United States and the company’s international geographic areas — are in Note 89 to the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning onpage ~~FS-37.~~FS-38. ~~In addition, similar~~Similar comparative data for the company’s investments in and income from equity affiliates and property, plant and equipment are in Notes 1112 and 1213 on pages ~~FS-40~~FS-41 to ~~FS-42.~~FS-43.

Capital and Exploratory Expenditures

Total ~~reported~~ expenditures for ~~2007~~2008 were ~~$20~~$22.8 billion, including $2.3 billion for Chevron’s share of expenditures by affiliated companies, which did not require cash outlays by the company. In ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, expenditures were ~~$16.6~~$20 billion and ~~$11.1~~$16.6 billion, respectively, including the company’s share of affiliates’ expenditures of ~~$1.9~~$2.3 billion and ~~$1.7~~$1.9 billion in the corresponding periods. ~~The 2005 amount excludes $17.3 billion for the acquisition of Unocal.~~

Of the ~~$20~~$22.8 billion in expenditures for ~~2007, 78 percent,~~2008, about three-fourths, or ~~$15.5~~$17.5 billion, was related to upstream activities. Approximately the same percentage was also expended for upstream operations in ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005.~~2006. International upstream accounted for about 70 percent of the worldwide upstream investment in each of the three years, reflecting the company’s continuing focus on opportunities that are available outside the United States.

In ~~2008,~~2009, the company estimates capital and exploratory expenditures will be ~~15 percent higher at $22.9~~$22.8 billion, including ~~$2.6~~$1.8 billion of spending by affiliates. About three-fourths of the total, or $17.5 billion, is budgeted for exploration and production activities, with ~~$12.7~~$13.9 billion of that amount outside the United States.

Refer also to a discussion of the company’s capital and exploratory expenditures onpage FS-11 and FS-12.

~~As shown in the table on page 5, worldwide oil-equivalent production of 2.59 million barrels per day in 2007 was up 34,000 barrels per day from the prior year.~~ Worldwide oil-equivalent production, including ~~“other produced volumes”~~volumes from oil sands (refer to footnote ~~5 to the table on page 5)~~1 above), was ~~2.62~~2.53 million barrels per day, down about 23 percent from ~~2006.~~2007. The decline was mostly attributable to ~~the change~~damages to facilities caused by September 2008 hurricanes in the ~~Boscan operating service agreement in Venezuela to a joint-stock company in October 2006.~~U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the impact of higher prices on certain production-sharing and variable-royalty agreements outside the United States. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section beginning onpage FS-6 for a detailed discussion of the factors explaining the ~~2005–2007~~2006 — 2008 changes in production for crude oil and natural gas liquids and natural gas.

The company estimates that its average worldwide oil-equivalent production in ~~2008~~2009 will be approximately ~~2.65~~2.63 million barrels per day. This estimate is subject to many uncertainties, including quotas that may be imposed by OPEC, the price effect on production volumes calculated under cost-recovery and variable-royalty provisions of certain contracts, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on the scope of company operations, delays in projectstart-ups, fluctuations in demand for natural gas in various markets, and production that may have to be shut in due to weather conditions, civil unrest, changing geopolitics or other disruptions to operations. Future production levels also are 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. Refer to the “Review of Ongoing Exploration and Production Activities in Key Areas,” beginning on page 9, for a discussion of the company’s major oil and gas development projects.

Review of Ongoing Exploration and Production Activities in Key Areas

Chevron’s ~~2007~~2008 key upstream activities, some of which are also discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations beginning onpage FS-2, are presented below. The comments include references to “total production” and “net production,” which are defined under “Production” in Exhibit 99.1 onpage ~~E-23.~~E-146.

The discussion that follows references the status of proved reserves recognition for significant long-lead-time projects not yet on production and for projects recently placed on production. Reserves are not discussed for recent discoveries that have yet to advance 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 addition to the activities discussed, Chevron was active in other geographic areas, but those activities are considered less significant.~~

Consolidated Operations


				Chevron has production and exploration activities in most of the world’s major hydrocarbon basins. The company’s upstream strategy is to grow profitably in core areas, build new legacy positions and commercialize the company’s ~~natural gas~~ equity natural-gas resource base while growing a high-impact global gas business. The map ~~on the~~at left indicates Chevron’s primary areas of production and ~~exploration as well as the potential target markets for the company’s natural gas resources.~~exploration.


a)	United States

Upstream activities in the United States are concentrated in California, the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico, the Rocky Mountains and Alaska. Average net oil-equivalent production in the United States during ~~2007~~2008 was ~~743,000~~671,000 barrels per day, composed of ~~460,000~~421,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and ~~1.7~~1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas. Refer to Table V beginning onpage ~~FS-66~~FS-67 for a discussion of the net proved reserves and different hydrocarbon characteristics for the company’s major U.S. producing areas.


				California:The company has significant production in the San Joaquin Valley. In ~~2007,~~2008, average netoil-equivalent production was ~~221,000~~215,000 barrels per day, composed of ~~200,000~~196,000 barrels of crude oil, 9788 million cubic feet of natural gas and 5,000 barrels of natural gas liquids. Approximately 8084 percent of thecrude-oil production is considered heavy oil (typically with API gravity lower than 22 degrees).


				Gulf of Mexico:Average net oil-equivalent production during ~~2007~~2008 for the company’s combined interests in the Gulf of Mexico shelf and deepwater areas, and the onshore fields in the region was ~~214,000~~160,000 barrels per day. The daily oil-equivalent production comprised ~~105,000~~76,000 barrels of crude oil, ~~576~~439 million cubic feet of natural gas and ~~13,000~~10,000 barrels of natural gas liquids. ~~During 2007, Chevron was engaged~~Production levels in ~~various development~~2008 were adversely affected by damage to facilities caused by hurricanes Gustav and ~~exploration activities~~Ike in September.

At Caesar/Tonga, the company participated in a successful appraisal well in 2008. The Tonga and Caesar partnerships have formed a unit agreement for the area, with Chevron having a 20 percent nonoperated working interest. First oil is expected by 2011. Development plans include a subsea tie-back to a nearby third-party production facility.

The company is also participating in the ultra-deep Perdido Regional Development. The project encompasses the installation of a producing host facility to service multiple fields, including Chevron’s 33 percent-owned Great White, 60 percent-owned Silvertip and 58 percent-owned Tobago. Chevron has a 38 percent interest in the Perdido Regional Host. All of these fields and the production facility are partner-operated. Activities during ~~2007~~2008 included facility construction, development drilling and ~~development drilling.~~spar installation. First oil is expected in early 2010, with the facility capable of handling 130,000 barrels of oil-equivalent per day. The project has an expected life of approximately 25 years. Proved undeveloped reserves related to the project were first recorded in 2006, and the phased reclassification of these reserves to the ~~proved developed~~proved-developed category is anticipated near the time of productionstart-up.

At the 58 percent-owned and operated Tahiti Field, development work continued following a delay in 2007 due to metallurgical problems with the facility’s mooring shackles, which problems have been resolved. The project ~~has~~is designed as a subsea development, with the wells tied back to a truss-spar floating production facility. Productionstart-up is expected in mid-2009. Initial booking of proved undeveloped reserves occurred in 2003 for the project, with the transfer of a portion of these reserves into the proved-developed category anticipated near the time of productionstart-up. With an ~~expected~~estimated production life of ~~approximately 25 years.~~30 years, Tahiti is designed to have a maximum total daily production of 125,000 barrels of crude oil and 70 million cubic feet of natural gas. In early 2009, a possible second phase of field development was under evaluation.

Other U.S. Areas:Outside California and the Gulf of Mexico, the company manages operations across the mid-continental United States and Alaska. During ~~2007 in~~2008, the Piceance Basin of northwestern Colorado, the company commenced development drilling in the basin’s tight-gas formation. Facilities to produce 50 million cubic feet of natural gas per day are expected to start up in 2009. The Piceance project, in which the company holds a 100 percent operated working interest, is scalable, and the work is planned to be completed in multiple phases over the 15- to~~20-year~~ project life. The plans include expanding facilities to a production capacity of 450 million cubic feet per day. The total cost for this project is estimated at $7.3 billion. Also during 2007, Chevron initiated redevelopment programs in three offshore fields in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, where the company operates 10 offshore platforms and five producing natural gas fields. The company also owns nonoperated working interest production and exploratory acreage at the White Hills prospect on the North Slope of Alaska. During 2007, the company’s U.S. production outside California and the Gulf of Mexico averaged ~~308,000~~296,000 net oil-equivalent barrels per day, composed of ~~104,000~~101,000 barrels of crude oil, ~~1 billion~~974 million cubic feet of natural gas and 33,000 barrels of natural gas liquids.

The life of the LNG plant is estimated to be in excess of 20 years.

Kazakhstan: The company holds a 50 percent interest in Tengizchevroil (TCO), which operates and is developing the Tengiz and Korolev crude-oil fields, located in western Kazakhstan, under a40-year concession that expires in 2033. Chevron’s net oil-equivalent production in ~~2007~~2008 from these fields averaged ~~176,000~~201,000 barrels per day, composed of ~~144,000~~168,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and ~~193~~195 million cubic feet of natural gas.

Reserves associated with the project were reclassified to the proved developed category. Over the next decade, ongoing field development is expected to result in the reclassification of additional proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed.

SGI ~~involves taking a portion~~facility injects approximately one-third of the sour gas separated from the ~~crude-oil production at the SGP processing train and reinjecting it~~crude oil back into the ~~Tengiz~~ reservoir. Chevron expects that SGI will have two key effects.

At the end of ~~early~~ 2008, ~~other alternatives were also being explored to increase export capacity.~~a final investment decision had not been reached, and the company had not recognized proved reserves associated with this project.

Venezuela: Chevron has a 30 percent interest in the Petropiar affiliate that operates the Hamaca ~~heavy oil~~heavy-oil production and upgrading project located in Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt, a 39 percent interest in the Petroboscan affiliate that operates the Boscan Field in the western part of the country, and a 25 percent interest in the Petroindependiente affiliate that operates the LL-652 ~~Field.~~Field in Lake Maracaibo. The company’s share of average net oil-equivalent production during ~~2007~~2008 from these ~~affiliates~~operations was ~~72,000~~66,000 barrels per day, composed of ~~68,000~~62,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 27 million cubic feet of natural gas.

The Hamaca project has a total design capacity for processing and upgrading 190,000 barrels per day of heavy crude oil (8.5 degrees API gravity) into 180,000 barrels of lighter, higher-value crude oil (26 degrees API gravity). In February 2007, the president of Venezuela issued a decree announcing the government’s intention for PDVSA to increase its ownership in all Orinoco Heavy Oil Associations effective May 1, 2007, including Chevron’s 30 percent-owned Hamaca project, to a minimum of 60 percent. In December 2007, Chevron executed a conversion agreement and signed a charter and by-laws with a PDVSA subsidiary that provided for Chevron to retain its 30 percent interest in the Hamaca project. The new entity, Petropiar, commenced activities in January 2008.

The Boscan Field is located onshore western Venezuela. A 3-D seismic program was acquired in 2007 that is expected to guide future development activities in South Boscan. The water-injection pressure-maintenance project was expanded to include four wells converted to injectors in 2007, and four new injectors are planned to be drilled in 2008 and 2009. The LL-652 Field is located in Lake Maracaibo.

~~Russia:~~ As of early 2008, Chevron and JSC Gazprom Neft continued to negotiate the final agreements for exploration and development activities in two licensed areas in the Yamal-Nenets region of western Siberia. Once the agreement is finalized, Chevron is expected to hold a 49 percent interest in the Northern Taiga Neftegaz LLC affiliate, which will operate in the licensed areas. Exploration and delineation activities are planned for 2008 on both licenses.

Nevertheless, some inherent risks could materially impact the company’s financial results of operations or financial condition.

Chevron is exposed to the effects of changing commodity prices.

Chevron is primarily in a commodities business with a history of price volatility. The single largest variable that affects the company’s results of operations is ~~crude-oil prices. Except in~~ the ~~ordinary course~~price of ~~running an integrated petroleum business, Chevron does not seek to hedge its exposure to price changes. A significant, persistent decline in crude-oil~~crude oil, which can be influenced by general economic conditions and geopolitical risk.

During extended periods of historically low prices ~~may have a material adverse effect on its results of operations~~for crude oil, the company’s upstream earnings and ~~its~~ capital and exploratory expenditure ~~plans.~~programs will be negatively affected. Upstream assets may also become impaired. The impact on downstream earnings is dependent upon the supply and demand for refined products and the associated margins on refined-product sales.

The scope of Chevron’s business will decline if the company does not successfully develop resources.

The company is in an extractive business; therefore, if Chevron is not successful in replacing the crude oil and natural gas it produces with good prospects for future production, 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 schedule; and efficient and profitable operation of mature properties.

The company’s operations could be disrupted by natural or human factors.

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, including hurricanes, floods and other forms of severe weather, war, civil unrest and other political events, fires, earthquakes, and explosions, any of which could result in suspension of operations or harm to people or the natural environment.

Chevron’s business subjects the company to liability risks.

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 the company’s business. Chevron operations also produce byproducts, which may be considered pollutants. Any of these activities could result in liability, either as a result of an accidental, unlawful discharge or as a result of new conclusions on the effects of the company’s operations on human health or the environment.

Political instability could harm Chevron’s business.

The 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 businessesand/or to impose additional taxes or royalties.

In certain locations, governments have imposed restrictions, controls and taxes, and in others, political conditions have existed that may threaten the safety of employees and the company’s continued presence in those countries. Internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a government and the company or other governments may 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. At December 31, ~~2007, 26~~2008, 29 percent of the company’s net proved reserves were located in Kazakhstan. The company also has significant interests in Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) ~~— member~~-member countries including Angola, ~~Indonesia,~~ Nigeria and ~~Venezuela. Twenty-eight~~Venezuela and in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Twenty-three percent of the company’s net proved reserves, including affiliates, were located in OPEC countries at December 31, ~~2007.~~2008 (excluding reserves in Indonesia, which relinquished its OPEC membership at the end of 2008).

Regulation of greenhouse gas emissions could increase Chevron’s operational costs and reduce demand for Chevron’s products.

Management ~~believes it is reasonably likely that the scientific and~~expects continued political attention to issues concerning ~~the existence and extent of~~ climate change, and the role of human activity in it ~~will continue, with the~~and potential ~~for further~~remediation or mitigation through regulation that ~~affects~~could materially affect the company’s operations. ~~Although uncertain,~~

International agreements and national or regional legislation and regulatory measures to limit greenhouse emissions are currently in various phases of discussion or implementation. The Kyoto Protocol, California’s Global Warming Solutions Act and Australia’s proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, along with other actual or pending federal, state and provincial regulations, envision a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through market-based trading schemes. The company is currently complying with greenhouse gas emissions limits within the European Union.

As a result of these ~~developments could increase costs or reduce the demand for the products~~and other environmental regulations, the company ~~sells.~~expects to incur substantial capital, compliance, operating, maintenance and remediation costs. The level of expenditure required to comply with these laws and regulations is uncertain and may vary by jurisdiction depending on the laws enacted in each jurisdiction and the company’s activities in it. The company’s production and processing operations (e.g., the production of crude oil at offshore platforms and the processing of natural gas at liquefied natural gas facilities) typically result in ~~emissions~~emission of greenhouse gases. Likewise, emissions arise from ~~midstream~~power and downstream operations, including crude oil transportation and refining. Finally, although beyond the control of the company, the use of passenger vehicle fuels and related products by consumers also results in greenhouse gas emissions that may be regulated.

~~International agreements, domestic legislation and regulatory measures to limit~~The company’s financial performance will depend on a number of factors, including, among others, the greenhouse gas emissions ~~are currently in various phases~~reductions required by law, the price and availability of ~~discussion or implementation. These include~~emission allowances and credits, the Kyoto Protocol, proposed federal legislation and current state-level actions. Some of the countries in which Chevron operates have ratified the Kyoto Protocol, and the company is currently complying with greenhouse gas emissions limits within the European Union. Although resolutions supporting “cap and trade” systems have been introduced in the U.S. Congress, no bill restricting greenhouse gas emissions has been passed to date.

In California, the Global Warming Solutions Act became effective on January 1, 2007. This law caps California’s greenhouse gas emissions at 1990 levels by 2020; directs the Air Resources Board, the responsible state agency, to determine certain greenhouse gas emissions in and outside California to adopt mandatory reporting rules for significant sources of greenhouse gases; delegates to the agency the authority to adopt compliance mechanisms (including market-based approaches); and permits a one-year extension of the targets under extraordinary circumstances. Related regulatory activity is under way within the California Public Utilities Commission. The Air Resources Board and the California Energy Commission are also in the process of developing a “Low Carbon Fuel Standard” for transportation fuels used in California, as directed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The company extracts crude oil and natural gas, operates refineries, and markets and sells gasoline, diesel and jet fuel in California. The extent to which Chevron would be entitled to receive emission allowances or need to purchase them in the ~~state~~open market or through auctions and ~~local agencies’ regulations will affect~~the impact of legislation on the company’s ~~California operations was~~ability to recover the costs incurred through the pricing of the company’s products. Material cost increases or incentives to conserve or use alternative energy sources could reduce demand for products the company currently sells. To the extent these costs are not ~~known as~~ultimately reflected in the price of ~~early 2008.~~the company’s products, the company’s operating results will be adversely affected.

Item 3.	Legal Proceedings

Ecuador Chevron is a defendant in a civil lawsuit before the Superior Court of Nueva Loja in Lago Agrio, Ecuador, brought 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 million. 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.

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. 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.

In ~~January~~April 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 $8 billion, 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 $8.3 billion could be assessed against Chevron ~~agreed~~for unjust enrichment. The engineer’s report is not binding on the court. Chevron also believes that the engineer’s work was performed and his report prepared in a manner contrary to ~~pay~~law and in violation of the ~~state~~court’s orders. Chevron submitted a rebuttal to the report in which it asked the court to strike the report in its entirety. In November 2008, the engineer revised the report and, without additional evidence, recommended an increase in the financial compensation for purported damages to a total of ~~New York~~$18.9 billion and an increase in the assessment for purported unjust enrichment to a ~~$162,500 civil penalty~~total of $8.4 billion. Chevron submitted a rebuttal to the revised report, and Chevron will continue a vigorous defense of any attempted imposition of liability.

Management does not believe an estimate of a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss) can be made in ~~connection~~this case. Due to the defects associated with the engineer’s report, management does not believe the report itself has any utility in calculating a ~~February 2006 oil spill at~~reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss). Moreover, the ~~company’s facility in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.~~highly uncertain legal environment surrounding the case provides no basis for management to estimate a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss).

Business Environment and Outlook

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

~~Current and future earnings~~Earnings of the company depend largely on the profitability of its upstream (exploration and production) and downstream (refining, marketing and transportation) business segments. The single biggest factor that affects the results of operations for both segments is movement in the price of crude oil. In the downstream business, crude oil is the largest cost component of refined products.

The overall trend in earnings is typically less affected by results from the company’s chemicals business and other activities and ~~investments.~~invest-

ments. Earnings for the company in any period may also be influenced by events or transactions that are infrequent and/or unusual in nature.

In recent years and through most of 2008, Chevron and the oil and gas industry at large ~~continue to experience~~experienced an increase in certain costs that ~~exceeds~~exceeded the general trend of inflation in many areas of the world. This increase in costs ~~is affecting~~affected the company’s operating expenses and capital ~~expenditures,~~programs for all business segments, but particularly for upstream. These cost pressures began to soften somewhat in late 2008. As the ~~upstream business.~~price of crude oil dropped precipitously from a record high in mid-year, the demand for some goods and services in the industry began to slacken. This cost trend is expected to continue during 2009 if crude-oil prices do not significantly rebound. (Refer to the “Upstream” section on next page for a discussion of the trend in crude-oil prices.)

The company’s operations, especially upstream, can also be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which it operates, including the United States. Civil unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a government and the company or other governments may impact the company’s operations or investments. Those developments have at times significantly affected the company’s operations and results and are carefully considered by management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries.

To sustain its long-term competitive position in the upstream business, the company must develop and replenish an inventory of projects that offer adequate financial returns for the investment required. Identifying promising areas for exploration, acquiring the necessary rights to explore for and to produce crude oil and natural gas, drilling successfully, and handling the many technical and operational details in a safe and cost-effective manner are all important factors in this effort. Projects often require long lead times and large capital commitments. ~~In the current environment of higher commodity prices,~~From time to time, certain governments have sought to renegotiate contracts or impose additional costs on the company. ~~Other governments~~Governments may attempt to do so in the future. The company will continue to monitor these developments, take them into account in evaluating future investment opportunities, and otherwise seek to mitigate any risks to the company’s current operations or future prospects.

The company also 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 growth. ~~Asset~~Refer to the “Results of Operations” section beginning on page FS-6 for discussions of net gains on asset sales during 2007 included the company’s 31 percent ownership interest in a refinery and related assets in the Netherlands; fuels marketing businesses in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Uruguay; and the investment in common stock of Dynegy Inc. Other asset2008. Asset dispositions and restructurings may occur in future periods and could result in significant gains or losses.

FS-2

The company has been closely monitoring the ongoing uncertainty in financial and credit markets, the rapid decline in crude-oil prices that began in the second half of 2008, and the general contraction of worldwide economic activity. Management is taking these developments into account in the conduct of daily operations and for business planning. The company remains confident of its underlying financial strength to deal with potential problems presented in this environment.

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

~~FS-2~~

Upstream Earnings for the upstream segment are closely aligned with industry price levels for crude oil and natural gas. ~~Crude oil~~Crude-oil and ~~natural gas~~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, production quotas imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), 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. Moreover, any of these factors could also inhibit the company’s production capacity in an affected region. The company monitors developments closely in the countries in which it operates and holds investments, and attempts to manage risks in operating its facilities and business.

Price levels for capital and exploratory costs and operating expenses associated with the efficient production of crude oil and natural gas can also be subject to external factors beyond the company’s control. External factors include not only the general level of inflation but also 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. ~~The oil and gas industry worldwide has experienced significant price increases for these items since 2005, and future price increases may continue to exceed the general level of inflation.~~ Capital and exploratory expenditures and operating expenses also can be affected by damages to production facilities caused by severe weather or civil unrest.

Industry price levels for crude oil ~~increased~~were volatile during ~~2007.~~2008. The spot price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, a benchmark crude, ~~oil, averaged $72~~started 2008 at $96 per barrel and peaked at $147 in ~~2007, up approximately $6 per barrel from~~early July. At the ~~2006 average price. The rise in crude oil prices was attributed primarily to increasing demand in growing economies, the heightened level of geopolitical uncertainty in some areas~~end of the ~~world and supply concerns in other key producing regions.~~year, the WTI price had fallen to $45 per barrel. As of mid-February ~~2008,~~2009, the WTI price was ~~about $93~~$38 per barrel.

The collapse in price during the second half of 2008 was largely driven by a decline in the demand for crude oil that was associated with a significant weakening in world economies. The WTI price averaged $100 per barrel for the full-year 2008, compared with $72 in 2007.

As in ~~2006,~~2007, a wide differential in prices existed in ~~2007~~2008 between high-quality (i.e., high-gravity, ~~low sulfur)~~low-sulfur) crude oils

and those of lower quality (i.e., low-gravity, ~~heavier types of~~high-sulfur crude). The relatively lower price for the ~~heavier~~high-sulfur crudes has been ~~dampened because of~~associated with an ample supply and relatively lower ~~relative~~ demand due to the limited number of refineries that are able to process this lower-quality feedstock into light products (i.e., motor gasoline, jet fuel, aviation gasoline and diesel fuel). ~~The price for higher-quality crude oil has remained high, as the demand for light products, which can be more easily manufactured by refineries from high-quality crude oil, has been strong worldwide.~~ Chevron produces or shares in the production of heavy crude oil in California, Chad, Indonesia, the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Venezuela and certain fields in Angola, China and the United Kingdom North Sea. (Refer to page ~~FS-l0~~FS-10 for the company’s average U.S. and international crude oil ~~prices.~~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~~supply-and-demand conditions in those markets. In the United States during ~~2007,~~2008, benchmark prices at Henry Hub averaged about $7$9 per thousand cubic feet (MCF), compared with about ~~$6.50~~$7 in ~~2006. As~~2007. At December 31, 2008, and as of mid-February ~~2008,~~ 2009,

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

the Henry Hub price was about $8$5.60 and $4.70 per ~~MCF.~~MCF, respectively. Fluctuations in the price for natural gas in the United States are closely associated with the volumes produced in North America and the inventory in underground storage relative to customer demand. U.S. natural gas prices are also typically higher during the winter period when demand for heating is greatest.

Certain other regions of the world in which the company operates have different supply, demand and regulatory circumstances, typically resulting in ~~significantly~~ lower average sales prices for the company’s production of natural gas. (Refer to page ~~FS-l0~~FS-10 for the company’s average natural gas ~~prices~~realizations for the U.S. and international regions.) Additionally, excess-supply conditions that exist in certain parts of the world cannot easily serve to mitigate the relatively ~~high-~~

~~FS-3~~

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

~~price~~higher-price conditions in the United States and other markets because of the lack of infrastructure to transport and receive liquefied natural gas.

To help address this regional imbalance between supply and demand for natural gas, Chevron ~~is planning increased investments~~continues to invest in long-term projects in areas of excess supply to install infrastructure to produce and liquefy natural gas for transport by tanker, along with investments and commitments to regasify the product in markets where demand is strong and supplies are not as plentiful. Due to the significance of the overall investment in these long-term projects, the natural gas sales prices in the areas of excess supply (before the natural gas is transferred to a ~~company-owned or third-party~~ processing facility) are expected to remain ~~well~~ below sales prices for natural gas that is produced much nearer to areas of high demand and can be transported in existing natural gas pipeline networks (as in the United ~~States)~~States or Thailand).

Besides the impact of the fluctuation in price for crude oil and natural gas, 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, changes in tax rates on income, and the cost of goods and services.

Chevron’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production in ~~2007,~~2008, including volumes produced from oil sands, averaged ~~2.62~~2.53 million barrels per day, a decline of about ~~48,000~~90,000 barrels per day from ~~2006,~~2007 due mainly to the ~~effect~~impact of ~~a conversion~~higher prices on volumes recovered under certain production-sharing and variable-royalty agreements outside the United States and damage to production facilities in September 2008 caused by hurricanes Gustav and Ike in the U.S. Gulf of ~~operating service agreements in Venezuela to joint-stock companies.~~Mexico. (Refer to the ~~table~~discussion of U.S. upstream production trends in the “Results of Operations” section on page
FS-6. Refer also to the “Selected Operating Data” table on page ~~FS-l0~~
FS-10 for a listing of production volumes for each of the three years ending December 31, ~~2007.~~2008.)

The company estimates that oil-equivalent production in ~~2008~~2009 will average approximately ~~2.65~~2.63 million barrels per day. This estimate is subject to many uncertainties, including quotas that may be imposed by OPEC, ~~the~~ price ~~effect~~effects on production volumes calculated under cost-recovery and variable-royalty provisions of certain contracts, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on the scope of company operations, delays in project ~~start-ups,~~startups, fluctuations in demand for natural gas in various markets, weather conditions that may shut in production, civil unrest, changing geopolitics, or other disruptions to operations. Future production levels also are 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. Most of Chevron’s upstream investment is currently being made outside the United States. Investments in upstream projects generally are made well in advance of the start of the associated production of crude oil and natural ~~gas production.~~

gas.

Approximately 2820 percent of the company’s net oil-equivalent production in ~~2007~~2008 occurred in the OPEC-member countries of Angola, ~~Indonesia,~~ Nigeria and Venezuela and in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. (This production statistic excludes volumes produced in Indonesia, which relinquished its OPEC membership at the end of 2008.) At a meeting on December 17, 2008, OPEC announced a reduction of 4.2 million barrels per day, or 14 percent, from actual September 2008 production of 29 million barrels per day. The reduction became effective January 1, 2009. OPEC quotas did not significantly affect Chevron’s production level in ~~2007.~~

~~The impact of OPEC quotas on the company’s production~~2007 or in ~~2008 is uncertain.~~

In October 2006, Chevron’s Boscan and LL-652 operating service agreements in Venezuela were converted to Empresas Mixtas (i.e., joint-stock companies), with Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) as majority shareholder. From that time, Chevron reported its equity share of the Boscan and LL-652 production, which was approximately 85,000 barrels per day less than what the company previously reported under the operating service agreements. The change to the Empresa Mixta structure did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.

In February 2007, the president of Venezuela issued a decree announcing the government’s intention for PDVSA to take over operational control of all Orinoco Heavy Oil Associations effective May 1, 2007, and to increase its ownership in all such Associations to a minimum of 60 percent. The decree included Chevron’s 30 percent-owned Hamaca project. In April 2007, Chevron signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with PDVSA that summarized the ongoing discussions to transfer control of Hamaca operations in accordance with the February decree. As provided in the MOU, a PDVSA-controlled transitory operational committee, on which Chevron had representation, assumed responsibility for daily operations on May 1, 2007. The MOU stipulated that terms of existing contracts were to remain in place during the transition period. In December 2007, Chevron executed a conversion agreement and signed a charter and by-laws with a PDVSA subsidiary that provided for Chevron to retain its 30 percent interest in the Hamaca project. The new entity, Petropiar, commenced activities in January 2008. The ~~conversion agreement did not have a material effect on Chevron’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.~~company’s current and future production levels could be affected by the cutbacks announced by OPEC in December 2008.

Refer to the “Results of Operations” section on pages FS-6 through FS-7 for additional discussion of the company’s upstream operations.

Downstream Earnings for the downstream segment are closely tied to margins on the refining and marketing of products that include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, fuel oil and feedstocks for chemical manufacturing. Industry margins are sometimes volatile and can be affected by the global and regional supply-and-demand balance for refined products and by changes in the price of crude oil used for refinery feedstock. Industry margins can also be influenced by refined-product inventory levels, geopolitical events, refinery maintenance programs and disruptions at refineries resulting from unplanned outages that may be 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 and marketing network, the effectiveness of ~~the crude-oil and~~

FS-4

the crude-oil and product-supply functions and the economic returns on invested capital. Profitability can also be affected by the volatility of ~~tanker charter~~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 refinery and distribution network.

The company’s most significant marketing areas are the West Coast of North America, the U.S. Gulf Coast, Latin America, Asia, ~~sub-Saharan~~southern Africa and the United Kingdom. Chevron operates or has ownership interests in refineries in each of these areas except Latin America. ~~For~~Downstream earnings, especially in the ~~industry, refined-product margins~~United States, were ~~generally higher~~weak from mid-2007 through mid-2008 due mainly to increasing prices of crude oil used in ~~2007 than~~the refining process that were not always fully recovered through sales prices of refined products. Margins significantly improved in ~~2006. For~~the second half of 2008 as the price of crude oil declined. As part of its downstream strategy to focus on areas of market strength, the company ~~U.S. refined-product margins during 2007 were negatively affected by planned and unplanned downtime at its three largest U.S. refineries.~~announced plans to sell marketing businesses in several countries. Refer to the discussion in “Operating Developments” below.

Industry margins in the future may be volatile and are influenced by changes in the price of crude oil used for refinery feedstock and by changes in the supply and demand for crude oil and refined products. The industry ~~supply and demand~~supply-and-demand balance can be affected by disruptions at refineries resulting from maintenance programs and unplanned outages, including weather-related disruptions; refined-product inventory levels; and geopolitical events.

Refer to ~~page~~pages FS-7 through FS-8 for additional discussion of the company’s downstream operations.

Chemicals Earnings in the petrochemicals business are closely tied to global chemical demand, industry inventory levels and plant capacity utilization. Feedstock and fuel costs, which tend to follow crude oil and natural gas price movements, also influence earnings in this segment.

Refer to the “Results of Operations” section on page FS-8 for additional discussion of chemicals earnings.

Income	$	4,532	$	4,270	$	4,168	$	7,126	$	4,532	$	4,270

~~U.S.~~U.S upstream income of $7.1 billion in 2008 increased $2.6 billion from 2007. Higher average prices for crude oil and natural gas increased earnings by $3.1 billion between periods. Also contributing to the higher earnings were gains of approximately $1 billion on asset sales, including a $600 million gain on an asset-exchange transaction. Partially offsetting these benefits were adverse effects of about $1.6 billion associated with lower oil-equivalent production and higher operating expenses, which included approximately $400 million of expenses resulting from damage to facilities in the Gulf of Mexico caused by hurricanes Gustav and Ike in September.

Income of $4.5 billion in 2007 increased approximately $260 million from 2006. Results in 2007 benefited approximately $700 million from higher prices for crude oil and natural gas liquids. This benefit to income was partially offset by the

effects of a decline in oil-equivalent production and an increase in depreciation, operating and exploration expenses.

Income of $4.3 billion in 2006 increased approximately $100 million from 2005. Earnings in 2006 benefited about $850 million from higher average prices on oil-equivalent production and the effect of seven additional months of production from the Unocal properties that were acquired in August 2005. Substantially offsetting these benefits were increases in operating, exploration and depreciation expenses. Included in the operating expense increases were costs associated with the carryover effects of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005.

The company’s average realization for crude oil and natural gas liquids in ~~2007~~2008 was ~~$63.16~~$88.43 per barrel, compared with $63.16 in 2007 and $56.66 in ~~2006 and $46.97 in 2005.~~2006. The average natural gas realization was ~~$6.12~~$7.90 per thousand cubic feet in ~~2007,~~2008, compared with $6.12 and $6.29 in 2007 and ~~$7.43 in~~ 2006, ~~and 2005,~~ respectively.

Net oil-equivalent production in ~~2007~~2008 averaged ~~743,000~~671,000 barrels per day, down ~~2.6~~9.7 percent and 12.1 percent from 2007 and 2006, respectively. The decrease between 2007 and ~~up 2 percent~~2008 was mainly due to normal field declines and the adverse impact of the hurricanes. The decline in 2007 from ~~2005, which included only five months of production from the Unocal properties acquired in August of that year.~~2006 was due primarily to normal field declines. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production for 2008 averaged 421,000 barrels per day, down approximately 8 percent from 2007 ~~averaged 460,000 barrels a day, which was essentially flat~~and down 9 percent compared with ~~2006, and an increase of 1 percent from 2005.~~2006.

International upstream income of ~~$10.3~~$14.6 billion in 2008 increased $4.3 billion from 2007. Higher prices for crude oil and natural gas increased earnings by $4.9 billion. Partially offsetting the benefit of higher prices was an impact of about $1.8 billion associated with a reduction of crude-oil sales volumes due to timing of certain cargo liftings and higher depreciation and operating expenses. Foreign currency effects benefited earnings by $873 million in 2008, compared with reductions to earnings of $417 million in 2007 and $371 million in 2006.

FS-6

Income in 2007 of $10.3 billion increased $1.4 billion from 2006. Earnings in 2007 benefited approximately $1.6 billion from higher prices, primarily for crude oil, and $300 million from increased liftings. Non-recurring ~~income tax~~income-tax items also benefited earnings between periods. These benefits to income were partially offset by the impact of higher operating and depreciation expenses.

Income in 2006 of approximately $8.9 billion increased $1.3 billion from 2005. Earnings in 2006 benefited approximately $3 billion from higher prices for crude oil and natural gas and an additional seven months of production from the former Unocal properties. About 70 percent of this benefit was associated with the impact of higher prices. Substantially offsetting these benefits were increases in depreciation expense, operating expense and exploration expense. Also adversely affecting 2006 income were higher taxes related to an increase in tax rates in the U.K. and Venezuela and settlement of tax claims and other tax items in Venezuela, Angola and Chad. Foreign currency effects reduced earnings by $371 million in 2006, but increased income $14 million in 2005.

The company’s average realization for crude oil and natural gas liquids in ~~2007~~2008 was ~~$65.01~~$86.51 per barrel, compared with $65.01 in 2007 and $57.65 in ~~2006 and $47.59 in 2005.~~2006. The average natural gas realization was ~~$3.90~~$5.19 per thousand cubic feet in ~~2007,~~2008, compared with $3.90 and $3.73 in 2007 and ~~$3.19 in~~ 2006, ~~and 2005,~~ respectively.

Net oil-equivalent production of ~~1.88~~1.86 million barrels per day in ~~2007~~2008 declined about 1 percent and 2 percent from 2007 and 2006, ~~and increased 5 percent from 2005.~~respectively. The volumes for each year included production from oil sands in ~~Canada and~~Canada. Volumes in 2006 also included production under an operating service agreement in Venezuela until its conversion to a joint-stock company in October ~~2006.~~of that year. Absent the impact of higher prices on certain production-sharing and variable-royalty agreements, net oil-equivalent production increased between 2007 and 2008. The decline ~~between~~in 2007 from 2006 ~~and 2007~~ was associated with the impact of ~~this~~the contract conversion in Venezuela and the ~~price effects~~impact of higher prices on ~~production volumes calculated under~~ production-sharing agreements. Partially offsetting the decline was increased production in Bangladesh, Angola and Azerbaijan. The increase from 2005 was due to that year having included only five months of production from the former Unocal properties.

The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production was 1.3 million barrels per day in ~~2007,~~2008, a decrease of ~~approximately 4~~5 percent from ~~2006~~2007 and 39 percent from ~~2005.~~2006. Net natural gas production of ~~3.3~~3.6 billion cubic feet per day in ~~2007~~2008 was up ~~5.5~~9 percent and 2815 percent from ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, respectively.

~~U.S.~~U.S downstream earnings of $1.4 billion in 2008 increased about $400 million from 2007 due mainly to improved margins on the sale of refined products and gains on derivative commodity instruments. Operating expenses were higher between periods. Income of $966 million in 2007 ~~declined~~decreased nearly $1 billion from ~~2006 and were essentially the same as 2005.~~2006. The decline ~~in 2007 from 2006~~ was associated mainly with ~~weaker~~lower refined-product margins ~~due to the effects of higher crude oil prices~~ and ~~the negative impacts of~~ higher planned and unplanned refinery downtime ~~on refinery production volumes at the company’s three major refineries.~~than a year earlier.

International downstream income of $2.5 billion in 2007 increased about $500 million from 2006 and $750 million from 2005. Results for 2007 included gains of approximately $1 billion on the sale of assets, including an interest in a refinery and marketing assets in the Benelux region of Europe. Margins on the sale of refined products in 2007 were up slightly from the prior year. Operating expenses were higher, and earnings from the company’s shipping operations were lower. The increase in earnings in 2006 compared with 20052008 was ~~associated mainly with the benefit of higher refined-product sales margins in the Asia-Pacific area and Canada and improved results from crude-oil and refined-product trading activities.~~

Refined-product sales volumes were 2.03 million barrels per day in 2007, about 5 percent and 10 percent lower than 2006 and 2005, respectively, due largely to the impact of asset sales and the accounting-standard change for buy/sell contracts.

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

Refined-product sales volumes were 2.02 million barrels per day in 2008, about 1 percent lower than 2007 due mainly to reduced sales of gas oil and fuel oil. Refined product sales volumes were 2.03 million barrels per day in 2007, about 5 percent lower than 2006. The decline in 2007 was largely due to the impact of asset sales and the accounting-standard change for buy/sell contracts. Excluding the accounting change, sales decreased about 4 percent.

Rates were lower in 2007 compared with ~~the prior year~~2006 due mainly to the impact of nonrecurring items ~~including asset sales~~ in 2007 mentioned above and the absence of 2006 charges related to a tax-law change that increased tax rates on upstream operations in the U.K. North Sea and the settlement of a tax claim in Venezuela. ~~The higher tax rate in 2006 compared with 2005 also reflected these nonrecurring charges in 2006.~~ Refer also to the discussion of income taxes in Note 1516 beginning on page ~~FS-43.~~FS-45.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities Total balances were ~~$8.1~~$9.6 billion and ~~$11.4~~$8.1 billion at December 31, ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006,~~2007, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities in ~~2007~~2008 was ~~$25.0~~$29.6 billion, compared with $25.0 billion in 2007 and $24.3 billion in ~~2006 and $20.1 billion in 2005.~~2006.

Cash provided by operating activities was net of contributions to employee pension plans of approximately $800 million, $300 million and $400 million in 2008, 2007 and ~~$1.0 billion in 2007,~~ 2006, ~~and 2005,~~ respectively. Cash provided by investing activities included proceeds from asset sales of $1.5 billion in 2008, $3.3 billion in 2007 and $1.0 billion in ~~2006 and $2.7 billion in 2005.~~2006.

Cash provided by operating activities and asset sales during 2007 was sufficient to fund the company’s $17.7 billion capital and exploratory program, pay $4.8 billion of dividends to stockholders and repay approximately $3.7 billion of debt.

~~Restricted~~At December 31, 2008, restricted cash of ~~$799~~$367 million associated with capital-investment projects at the company’s Pascagoula, Mississippi, refinery and Angola liquefied natural gas project was invested in short-term marketable securities and reclassified from cash equivalents to a long-term asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Dividends The company paid dividends of approximately $5.2 billion in 2008, $4.8 billion in 2007 and $4.4 billion in ~~2006 and $3.8 billion in 2005.~~2006. In April ~~2007,~~2008, the company increased its quarterly common stock dividend by ~~11.5~~12.1 percent to ~~58 cents~~$0.65 per share.

Debt, capital lease and minority interest obligations Total debt and capital lease balances were ~~$7.2~~$8.9 billion at December 31, ~~2007, down~~2008, up from ~~$9.8~~$7.2 billion at year-end ~~2006.~~2007. The company also had minority interest obligations of ~~$204~~$469 million ~~down from $209~~and $204 million at December 31, ~~2006.~~2008 and 2007, respectively.

The ~~$2.6~~$1.7 billion ~~reduction~~increase in total debt and capital lease obligations during ~~2007~~2008 included the ~~early redemption~~net effect of an approximate $2.7 billion increase in commercial paper and maturity of individual debt issues. In February, $144 million of Texaco Capital Inc. bonds matured. In the second and fourth quarters, the company redeemed approximately $809 million and $65 million, respectively of Texaco Capital Inc.

debt and recognized an after-tax loss of approximately $175 million. In August, $2 billion of Chevron Canada Funding Company bonds matured. In December, the company issued a $650 million tax exempt Mississippi Gulf Opportunity Zone bond to fund an upgrade project at the company’s refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Commercial paper balances at the end of 2007 declined approximately $450 million from $3.5 billion at year-end 2006. In February 2008, $750$749 million of Chevron Canada Funding Company bonds that matured.

The company’s debt and capital lease obligations due within one year, consisting primarily of commercial paper and the current portion of long-term debt, totaled ~~$5.5~~$7.8 billion at December 31, ~~2007, down~~2008, up from ~~$6.6~~$5.5 billion at year-end ~~2006.~~2007. Of these amounts, ~~$4.4~~$5.0 billion and ~~$4.5~~$4.4 billion were reclassified to long-term at the end of each period, respectively. At year-end ~~2007,~~2008, settlement of these obligations was not expected to require the use of working capital within one year, as the company had the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to refinance them on a long-term basis.

At year-end ~~2007,~~2008, the company had $5 billion in committed credit facilities with various major banks, which permit the refinancing of short-term obligations on a long-term basis. These facilities support ~~commercial paper~~commercial-paper borrowing and also can be used for general corporate purposes. The company’s practice has been to continually

The company did not acquire any shares in early 2009 and does not plan to ~~34.2 million at a cost of approximately $3.0 billion.~~acquire any shares in the 2009 first quarter.

Capital and exploratory expenditures Total reported expenditures for ~~2007~~2008 were ~~$20~~$22.8 billion, including $2.3 billion for the company’s share of affiliates’ expenditures, which did not require cash outlays by the company. In ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005,~~2006, expenditures were ~~$16.6~~$20.0 billion and ~~$11.1~~$16.6 billion, respectively, including the company’s share of affiliates’ expenditures of ~~$1.9~~$2.3 billion and ~~$1.7~~$1.9 billion in the corresponding periods. ~~The 2005 amount excludes $17.3 billion for the acquisition of Unocal Corporation.~~

Of the ~~$20~~$22.8 billion in expenditures for ~~2007,~~2008, about three-fourths, or ~~$15.5~~$17.5 billion, related to upstream activities. Approximately the same percentage was also expended for upstream operations in ~~2006~~2007 and ~~2005.~~2006. International upstream accounted for about 70 percent of the worldwide

upstream investment in each of the three years, reflecting the company’s continuing focus on opportunities that are available outside the United States.

~~In 2008, the~~The company estimates that in 2009, capital and exploratory expenditures will be ~~15 percent higher at $22.9~~$22.8 billion, including ~~$2.6~~$1.8 billion of spending by affiliates. About three-fourths of the total, or $17.5 billion, is budgeted for exploration and production activities, with ~~$12.7~~$13.9 billion of this amount outside the United States. Spending in ~~2008~~2009 is primarily targeted for exploratory prospects in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, ~~and~~ western Africa, and the Gulf of Thailand and major development projects in Angola, Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, ~~Kazakhstan,~~ Nigeria, Thailand and the deepwater U.S. Gulf of ~~Mexico,~~Mexico. Also included are one-time payments associated with upstream operating agreements in China and the ~~Piceance Basin in Colorado~~Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and ~~an oil sands project in Canada.~~

Worldwide downstream spending in 2008 is estimated at $4.1 billion, with about $2.3 billion for projects in the United States. Capital projects include upgrades to refineries in the United States and South Korea and construction of gas-to-liquids facilities in support of associated upstream projects.

Investments in chemicals, technology and other corporate businesses in 2008 are budgeted at $1.3 billion. Technology investments include projects related to unconventional hydrocarbons technologies, oil and gas reservoir management and gas-fired and renewable power generation.Kuwait.

FS-12

There are numerous cross-indemnity agreements with the affiliate and the other partners to permit recovery of any amounts paid under the guarantee. Chevron ~~carries~~has recorded no liability for its obligation under this guarantee.

Indemnifications The company provided certain indemnities of contingent liabilities of Equilon and Motiva to Shell and Saudi Refining, Inc., in connection with the February 2002 sale of the company’s interests in those investments. The company would be required to perform if the indemnified liabilities become actual losses. Were that to occur, the company could be required to make future payments up to $300 million. Through the end of ~~2007,~~2008, the company had paid $48 million under these indemnities and continues to be obligated for possible additional indemnification payments in the future.

The company has also provided indemnities relating to contingent environmental liabilities related to assets originally contributed by Texaco to the Equilon and Motiva joint ventures and environmental conditions that existed prior to the formation of Equilon and Motiva or that occurred during the period of Texaco’s ownership interest in the joint ventures. In general, the environmental conditions or events that are subject to these indemnities must have arisen prior to December 2001. Claims must be asserted no later than February 2009 for Equilon indemnities and no later than February 2012 for Motiva indemnities. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments. In February 2009, Shell delivered a letter to the company purporting to preserve unmatured claims for certain Equilon indemnities. The ~~company has~~letter itself provides no estimate of the ultimate claim amount, and management does not ~~recorded~~believe the letter provides a basis to estimate the amount, if any, ~~liabilities for possible claims under these~~of a range of loss or potential range of loss with respect to Equilon or the Motiva indemnities. The company posts no assets as collateral and has made no payments under the indemnities.

The amounts payable for the indemnities described above are to be net of amounts recovered from insurance carriers and others and net of liabilities recorded by Equilon or Motiva prior to September 30, 2001, for any applicable incident.

In the acquisition of Unocal, the company assumed certain indemnities relating to contingent environmental liabilities associated with assets that were sold in 1997. Under the indemnification agreement, the company’s liability is unlimited until April 2022, when the indemnification expires.

Long-Term Unconditional Purchase Obligations and Commitments, Including Throughput and Take-or-Pay Agreements The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contingent liabilities relating 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: ~~2008 – $4.7 billion;~~ 2009 – ~~$3.3~~$6.4 billion; 2010 – ~~$3.3~~$4.0 billion; 2011 – ~~$1.9~~$3.6 billion; 2012 – $1.5 billion; 2013 – $1.3 billion; ~~2013~~2014 and after – ~~$4.9~~$4.3 billion. A portion of these commitments may ultimately be shared with project partners. Total payments under the agreements were approximately $5.1 billion in 2008, $3.7 billion in 2007 and $3.0 billion in ~~2006 and $2.1 billion in 2005.~~

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

Factors” in Part 1,I, Item 1A, of the company’s ~~2007~~2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Derivative Commodity ~~Derivative~~ 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 this activity were not material to the company’s financial position, net income or cash flows in ~~2007.~~2008.

~~FS-14~~

The company’s market exposure positions are monitored and managed on a daily basis by an internal Risk Control group to ensure compliance with the company’s risk management policies that have been approved by the Audit Committee of the company’s Board of Directors.

The derivative instruments used in the company’s risk management and trading activities consist mainly of futures, options and swap contracts traded on the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange) and on electronic platforms of ICE (Inter-Continental Exchange) and GLOBEX (Chicago Mercantile Exchange). In addition, crude oil, natural gas and ~~refined product~~refined-product swap contracts and option contracts are entered into principally with major financial institutions and other oil and gas companies in the “over-the-counter” markets.

Virtually all 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 from Chevron’s derivative commodity instruments in 2008 was a quarterly average increase of $160 million in total assets and a quarterly average decrease of $1 million in total liabilities.

Effective with 2007 year-end reporting, the company changed the model used to quantify information about market risk for its commodity derivatives from a “sensitivity analysis” approach to Value-at-Risk (VaR). The major reason for the change is that VaR allows estimation of a portfolio’s aggregate market risk exposure and takes into account correlations between trading assets. Therefore, it reflects risk reduction due to diversification or hedging activities. Most of the company’s market positions are time and commodity spreads, and the company believes that VaR is a more accurate tool to measure this type of exposure than the sensitivity analysis model. The company ~~fully developed~~uses a Value-at-Risk (VaR) model to estimate the potential loss in fair value on a single day from the effect of adverse changes in market conditions on derivative instruments held or issued, which are recorded on the balance sheet at December 31, 2008, as derivative instruments in accordance with FAS Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and ~~tested its VaR model during 2007.~~

Hedging Activities,” as amended (FAS 133). VaR is the maximum loss not to be exceeded within a given probability or confidence level over a given period of time. The company’s VaR model uses the Monte Carlo simulation method that involves generating hypothetical scenarios from the specified probability distribution and constructing a full distribution of a portfolio’s potential ~~portfolio’s~~ values.

The VaR model utilizes an ~~exponentially-weighted~~exponentially weighted moving average for computing historical volatilities and correlations, a 95 percent confidence level, and a one-day holding period. That is, the company’s 95 percent, one-day VaR corresponds to the unrealized loss in portfolio value that would not be exceeded on average more than one in every 20 trading days, if the portfolio were held constant for one day.

The one-day holding period is based on the assumption that market-risk positions can be liquidated or hedged within one day. For hedging and risk management, the company uses conventional exchange-traded instruments such as futures and options as well as non-exchange-traded swaps, most of which can be liquidated or hedged effectively within one day. The table below presents the 95 percent/one-day VaR for each of the company’s primary risk exposures in the area of derivative commodity ~~derivative~~ instruments at December 31, ~~2007:~~

The same hypothetical decrease in prices of these commodities would result in approximately the same opposite effects on the fair values of the contracts. The hypothetical effect on these contracts was estimated by calculating the fair value of the contracts as the difference between the hypothetical and current market prices multiplied by the contract amounts.

Foreign Currency The company enters into forward exchange contracts, generally with terms of 180 days or less, to manage some of its foreign currency exposures. These exposures include revenue and anticipated purchase transactions, including foreign currency capital expenditures and lease commitments, forecasted to occur within 180 days. The forward exchange contracts are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income.

The aggregate effect of a hypothetical 10 percent increase in the value of the U.S. dollar at year-end ~~2007~~2008 would be a reduction in the fair value of the foreign exchange contracts of approximately ~~$75~~$100 million. The effect would be the opposite for a hypothetical 10 percent decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar at year-end ~~2007.~~2008.

Interest RatesThe company enters into ~~interest rate~~interest-rate swaps from time to time as part of its overall strategy to manage the interest rate risk on its debt. Under the terms of the swaps, net cash settlements are based on the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to agreed notional principal amounts. Interest rate swaps related to a portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt are accounted for as fair value hedges. Interest rate swaps related to floating-rate debt are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. At year-end ~~2007,~~2008, the company had no interest-rate swaps on floating-rate debt. ~~At year-end 2007, the weighted average maturity of “receive fixed” interest rate~~The company’s only interest-rate swaps ~~was less than one year.

Litigation and Other Contingencies

MTBE Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive. ~~The~~In October 2008, 59 cases were settled in which the company iswas a party ~~to 88 lawsuits~~ and ~~claims, the majority of~~ which ~~involve numerous other petroleum marketers and refiners,~~ related to the use of MTBE in certain oxygenated gasolines and the alleged ~~seepages~~seepage of MTBE into groundwater. ~~Chevron has agreed in principle to a tentative settlement of 60 pending lawsuits and claims.~~ The terms of this agreement ~~which must be approved by a number of parties, including the court,~~ are confidential and not material to the company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

Chevron is a party to 37 other pending lawsuits and claims, the majority of which involve numerous other petroleum marketers and refiners. Resolution of ~~remaining~~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 ~~tentative~~ settlement of the ~~referenced 60~~59 lawsuits did not set any precedents related to standards of liability to be used to judge the merits of the claims, corrective measures required or monetary damages to be assessed for the remaining lawsuits and claims or future lawsuits and claims. As a result, the company’s ultimate exposure related to pending lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable, but could be material to net income in any one period. The company no longer uses MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.

RFG Patent Fourteen purported class actions were brought by consumers ofwho purchased reformulated gasoline (RFG) from January 1995 through August 2005, alleging that Unocal misled the California Air Resources Board into adopting standards for composition of RFG that overlapped with Unocal’s undisclosed and pending patents. ~~Eleven lawsuits were consolidated in U.S. District Court~~The parties agreed to a settlement that calls for, among other things, Unocal to pay $48 million and for the ~~Central District~~establishment of ~~California, where~~acy presfund to administer payout of the award.

Plaintiffs in both consolidated actions seek unspecified actual and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and interest on behalf~~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 ~~class~~environmental harm, plus a health monitoring program. Until 1992, Texaco Petroleum Company (Texpet), a subsidiary of ~~consumers who~~Texaco Inc., was a minority member of this consortium with Petroecuador, the Ecuadorian state-owned

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 million. 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 to Chevron; 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. 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.

In April 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 $8 billion, 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 ~~amount that~~additional $8.3 billion could be assessed against Chevron for unjust enrichment. The engineer’s report is not ~~material~~binding on the court. Chevron also believes that the engineer’s work was performed and his report prepared in a manner contrary to law and in violation of the court’s orders. Chevron submitted a rebuttal to the ~~company’s results~~report in which it asked the court to strike the report in its entirety. In November 2008, the engineer revised the report and, without additional evidence, recommended an increase in the financial compensation for purported damages to a total of ~~operations, liquidity or financial position.

Due to ~~further negotiation and approval, including by~~ the ~~courts.~~defects associated with the engineer’s report, management does not believe the report itself has any utility in calculating a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss).

service stations, terminals, land development areas, and mining operations, whether operating, closed or divested. 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.

Although the company has provided for known environmental obligations 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. 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.

The following table displays the annual changes to the company’s before-tax environmental remediation reserves, including those for federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws.

Balance at December 31	$	1,539		$	1,441		$	1,469		$	1,818		$	1,539		$	1,441

Included in the ~~$1,539~~$1,818 million year-end ~~2007~~2008 reserve balance were remediation activities of ~~240~~248 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 ~~2007~~2008 was ~~$123~~$120 million. The federal Superfund law and analogous state laws 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 consolidated financial position or liquidity.

Of the remaining year-end ~~2007~~2008 environmental reserves balance of ~~$1,416~~$1,698 million, ~~$864~~$968 million related to ~~approximately 2,000~~current and former sites for the company’s U.S. downstream operations, including refineries and other plants, marketing locations (i.e., service stations and terminals), and pipelines. The remaining ~~$552~~$730 million was associated with various sites in international downstream ($~~146~~117 million), upstream ($~~267~~390 million), chemicals ($~~105~~154 million) and other ($3469 million). 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 or local regulations. No single remediation site at year-end ~~2007~~2008 had a recorded liability that was material to the company’s financial position, results of operations 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.

The company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with ~~Financial Accounting Standards Board~~FASB Statement ~~(FASB)~~ No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations(FAS 143). Under FAS 143, the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recorded when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the liability can be

FS-16

reasonably estimated. The liability balance of approximately ~~$8.3~~$9.4 billion for asset retirement obligations at year-end ~~2007~~2008 related primarily to upstream ~~and mining~~ 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.

Refer also to Note ~~23,~~24, beginning on page ~~FS-57,~~FS-58, related to FAS 143 and the company’s adoption in 2005 of FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations–An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 ~~(FIN~~(FIN 47), and the discussion of “Environmental Matters” ~~on page FS-18.~~below.

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 1516 beginning on page ~~FS-43~~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. The company does not expect that settlement of income tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions will have a material effect on its results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which contained a number of energy and tax-related provisions, known as the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 (the Act), was signed into U.S. law in October 2008. The Act includes two provisions that affect Chevron’s tax liability, beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008. The Act freezes at 6 percent the domestic manufacturer’s deduction on income from U.S. oil and gas operations that was scheduled to increase to 9 percent in 2010. Effective in 2009, the Act expands the current foreign tax credit (FTC) limitation for Foreign Oil and Gas Extraction Income to also include foreign downstream income, known as Foreign Oil Related Income. This change is expected to impact Chevron’s utilization of FTCs.

Suspended Wells The company suspends the costs of exploratory wells pending a final determination of the commercial potential of the related crude oil and natural gas fields. The ultimate disposition of these well costs is dependent on the results of future drilling activity or development decisions or both. At December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, the company had approximately ~~$1.7~~$2.1 billion of suspended exploratory wells included in properties, plant and equipment, an increase of $458 million from 2007. The 2007 balance reflected an increase of $421 million from ~~2006 and an increase of $551 million from 2005.~~2006.

The future trend of the company’s exploration expenses can be affected by amounts associated with well write-offs, including wells that had been previously suspended pending determination as to whether the well had found reserves

that could be classified as proved. The effect on exploration expenses in future periods of the ~~$1.7~~$2.1 billion of suspended wells at year-end ~~2007~~2008 is uncertain pending future activities, including normal project evaluation and additional drilling.

Refer to Note ~~19,~~20, beginning on page ~~FS-47,~~FS-48, for additional discussion of suspended wells.

~~Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

Equity Redetermination For oil and gas producing operations, ownership agreements may provide for periodic reassessments of equity interests in estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves. These activities, individually or together, may result in gains or losses that could be material to earnings in any given period. One such equity redetermination process has been under way since 1996 for Chevron’s interests in four producing zones at the Naval Petroleum Reserve at Elk Hills, California, for the time when the remaining interests in these zones were owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. A wide range remains for a possible net settlement amount for the four zones. For this range of settlement, Chevron estimates its maximum possible net before-tax liability at approximately $200 million, and the possible maximum net amount that could be owed to Chevron is estimated at about $150 million. The timing of the settlement and the exact amount within this range of estimates are uncertain.

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

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 gains or losses in future periods.

Environmental Matters

Virtually all aspects of the businesses in which the company engages are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These regulatory requirements continue to increase in both number and complexity over time and govern not only the manner in which the company conducts its operations, but also the products it sells. Most of the costs of complying with laws and regulations pertaining to company operations and products are embedded in the normal costs of doing business.

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 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~~con-

sidered 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 ~~2007~~2008 at approximately ~~$2.7~~$3.1 billion for its consolidated companies. Included in these expenditures were approximately ~~$900 million~~$1.3 billion of environmental capital expenditures and $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 ~~2008,~~2009, total worldwide environmental capital expenditures are estimated at ~~$1.9~~$2.2 billion. These capital costs are in addition to the ongoing costs of complying with environmental regulations and the costs to remediate previously contaminated sites.

It is not possible to predict with certainty the amount of additional investments in new or existing facilities or amounts of incremental operating costs to be incurred in the future to: prevent, control, reduce or eliminate releases of hazardous materials into the environment; comply with existing and new environmental laws or regulations; or remediate and restore areas damaged by prior releases of hazardous materials. Although these costs may be significant to the results of operations in any single period, the company does not expect them to have a material effect on the company’s liquidity or financial position.

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. All 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 or assumptions is according to the disclosure guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), wherein:

the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment ~~necessary~~neces-

			sary 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.

~~FS-18~~

Besides those meeting these “critical” criteria, the company makes many other accounting estimates and assumptions in preparing its financial statements and related disclosures. Although not associated with “highly uncertain matters,” these estimates and assumptions are also subject to revision as circumstances warrant, and materially different results may sometimes occur.

For example, the recording of deferred tax assets requires an assessment under the accounting rules that the future realization of the associated tax benefits be “more likely than not.” Another example is the estimation of crude oil and natural gas reserves under SEC rules that require “... geological and engineering data (that) demonstrate with reasonable certainty (reserves) to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made.” Refer to Table V, “Reserve Quantity Information,” beginning on page ~~FS-66,~~FS-67, for the changes in these estimates for the three years ending December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, and to Table VII, “Changes in the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows From Proved Reserves” on page FS-74 for estimates of proved-reserve values for each of the three years ~~ending~~ended December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, which were based on year-end prices at the time. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, beginning on page FS-32, includes a description of the “successful efforts” method of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities. The estimates of crude oil and natural gas reserves are important to the timing of expense recognition for costs incurred.

The discussion of the critical accounting policy for “Impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment and Investments in Affiliates,” beginning on page FS-20, includes reference to conditions under which downward revisions of proved-reserve quantities could result in impairments of oil and gas properties. This commentary should be read in conjunction with disclosures elsewhere in this discussion and in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements related to estimates, uncertainties, contingencies and new accounting standards. Significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, beginning on page FS-32. The development and selection of accounting estimates

FS-18

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:

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The determination of ~~pension plan~~pension-plan obligations and expense 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. For other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans, which provide for certain health care and life insurance benefits for qualifying retired employees and which are not funded, critical assumptions in determining OPEB obligations and expense are the discount rate and the assumed health care cost-trend rates.

Note ~~20,~~22, beginning on page ~~FS-48,~~FS-51, includes information on the funded status of the company’s pension and OPEB

plans at the end of ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006,~~2007; the components of pension and OPEB expense for the three years ending December 31, ~~2007,~~2008; and the underlying assumptions for those periods.

Pension and OPEB expense is recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Income in “Operating expenses” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” and applies to all business segments. The year-end ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006~~2007 funded status, measured as the difference between plan assets and obligations, of each of the company’s pension and OPEB plans is recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The funded status of overfunded pension plans is recorded as a long-term asset in “Deferred charges and other assets.” The funded status of underfunded or unfunded pension and OPEB plans is recorded in “Accrued liabilities” or “Reserves for employee benefit plans.” Amounts yet to be recognized as components of pension or OPEB expense are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive ~~income.~~loss.”

To estimate the long-term rate of return on pension assets, the company uses a process that incorporates actual historical asset-class returns and an assessment of expected future performance and takes into consideration external actuarial advice and asset-class factors. Asset allocations are periodically updated using pension plan asset/liability studies, and the determination of the company’s estimates of long-term rates of return are consistent with these studies. The expected long-term rate of return on U.S. pension plan assets, which account for 6768 percent of the company’s pension plan assets, has remained at 7.8 percent since 2002. For the 10 years ending December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, actual asset returns averaged ~~8.7~~3.7 percent for this plan. The actual asset returns for the 10 years ending December 31, 2007, averaged 8.7 percent. The actual return for 2008 was negative and was associated with the broad decline in the financial markets in the second half of the year.

The year-end market-related value of assets of the major U.S. pension plan used in the determination of pension expense was based on the market value in the preceding three months, as opposed to the maximum allowable period of five years under U.S. accounting rules. Management considers the three-month 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 ~~the measurement date~~year-end is used in calculating the pension expense.

The discount rate assumptions used to determine U.S. and international pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and expense reflect the prevailing rates available on high-quality fixed-income debt instruments. At December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, the company selected a 6.3 percent discount rate for the major U.S. pension and postretirement plans. This rate was selected based on a cash flow analysis that matched estimated future benefit payments to the Citigroup Pension Discount Yield Curve as of year-end ~~2007.~~2008. The discount rates at the end of 2007 and 2006 ~~and 2005~~ were ~~5.8~~6.3 percent and ~~5.5~~5.8 percent, respectively.

An increase in the expected long-term return on plan assets or the discount rate would reduce pension plan expense, and vice versa. Total pension expense for ~~2007~~2008 was ~~$620~~$770 million. As an indication of the sensitivity of pension expense to the long-term rate of return assumption, a 1 percent increase in the expected rate of return on assets of the company’s primary U.S. pension plan would have reduced total pension plan expense for ~~2007~~2008 by approximately $70

~~FS-19~~

million. A 1 percent increase in the discount rate for this same plan, which accounted for about 6061 percent of the companywide pension obligation, would have reduced total pension plan expense for ~~2007~~2008 by approximately ~~$155~~$140 million.

An increase in the discount rate would decrease the pension obligation, thus changing the funded status of a plan recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The total pension liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, for underfunded plans was approximately ~~$1.7~~$4.0 billion. 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 would have reduced the plan obligation by approximately $250 million, which would have ~~increased~~decreased the plan’s ~~over-funded~~underfunded status from approximately ~~$160 million~~$2.0 billion to ~~$410 million.~~$1.8 billion. Other plans would be less ~~underfunded~~under-funded as discount rates increase. The actual rates of return on plan assets and discount rates may vary significantly from estimates because of unanticipated changes in the world’s financial markets.

In ~~2007,~~2008, the company’s pension plan contributions were ~~$317~~$839 million (including ~~$78~~$577 million to the U.S. plans). In ~~2008,~~2009, the company estimates contributions will be approximately ~~$500~~$800 million. Actual contribution amounts are

dependent upon plan-investment results, changes in pension obligations, regulatory requirements and other economic factors. Additional funding may be required if investment returns are insufficient to offset increases in plan obligations.

��For the company’s OPEB plans, expense for ~~2007~~2008 was ~~$233~~$179 million and the total liability, which reflected the ~~underfunded~~unfunded status of the plans at the end of ~~2007,~~2008, was $2.9 billion.

As an indication of discount rate sensitivity to the determination of OPEB expense in ~~2007,~~2008, a 1 percent increase in the discount rate for the company’s primary U.S. OPEB plan, which accounted for about 7567 percent of the companywide OPEB expense, would have decreased OPEB expense by approximately $20 million. A 0.25 percent increase in the discount rate for the same plan, which accounted for about 8786 percent of the companywide OPEB liabilities, would have decreased total OPEB liabilities at the end of ~~2007~~2008 by approximately ~~$60~~$56 million.

For the main U.S. postretirement medical plan, the annual increase to company contributions is limited to 4 percent per year. The cap becomes effective in the year of retirement for pre-Medicare-eligible employees retiring on or after January 1, 2005. The cap was effective as of January 1, 2005, for pre-Medicare-eligible employees retiring before that date and all Medicare-eligible retirees. For active employees and retirees under age 65 whose claims experiences are combined for rating purposes, the assumed health care cost-trend rates start with 87 percent in ~~2008~~2009 and gradually drop to 5 percent for ~~2014~~2017 and beyond. As an indication of the health care cost-trend rate sensitivity to the determination of

OPEB expense in ~~2007,~~2008, a 1 percent increase in the rates for the main U.S. OPEB plan, which accounted for ~~about 87~~86 percent of the companywide OPEB liabilities, would have increased OPEB expense $8 million.

Differences between the various assumptions used to determine expense and the funded status of each plan and actual experience are not included in benefit plan costs in the year the difference occurs. Instead, the differences are included in actuarial gain/loss and unamortized amounts have been reflected in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Refer to Note ~~20,~~22, beginning on page ~~FS-48,~~FS-51, for information on the ~~$3.3~~$6.0 billion of before-tax actuarial losses recorded by the company as of December 31, ~~2007;~~2008; a description of the method used to amortize those costs; and an estimate of the costs to be recognized in expense during ~~2008.~~2009.

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. Such indicators include changes in the company’s business plans, changes in commodity prices and, for crude oil and natural gas properties, significant downward revisions of estimated

proved-reserve quantities. 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~~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 consistent with the company’s business plans and long-term investment decisions.

No major individual impairments of PP&E were recorded for the three years ending December 31, ~~2007.~~2008. An estimate as to the sensitivity to 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.

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

~~FS-20~~

fair value of the investment falls below the company’s carrying value. When such a decline is deemed to be other than temporary, an impairment charge is recorded to the income statement for the difference between the investment’s carrying value and its estimated fair value at the time. 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. Differing assumptions could affect whether an investment is impaired in any period or the amount of the impairment, and are not subject to sensitivity analysis.

From time to time, the company performs impairment reviews and determines ~~that no~~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. Also, if the expectation

FS-20

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.

Business Combinations –Purchase-Price Allocation Accounting for business combinations requires the allocation of the company’s purchase price to the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business at their respective fair values. The company uses all available information to make these fair value determinations, and for major acquisitions, may hire an independent appraisal firm to assist in making fair value estimates. In some instances, assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses associated with an asset might have to be used in determining its fair value. Actual timing and amount of net cash flows from revenues and expenses related to that asset over time may differ materially from those initial estimates, and if the timing is delayed significantly or if the net cash flows decline significantly, the asset could become impaired. Effective January 1, 2009, the accounting for business combinations will change. Refer to Note 19 on page FS-48.

Goodwill Goodwill resulting from a business combination is not subject to amortization. As required by FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,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 a reporting unit below its carrying amount.

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

from settlement of claims and litigation can vary from estimates based on differing interpretations of laws, opinions on culpability 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 records these losses as “Operating expenses” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Consolidated Statement of Income. An exception to this handling is for income tax matters, for which ~~benefits~~ben-

efits 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 1516 beginning on page ~~FS-43.~~FS-45. Refer also to the business segment discussions elsewhere in this section for the effect on earnings from losses associated with certain litigation, and environmental remediation and tax matters for the three years ended December 31, ~~2007.~~

2008.

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.

New Accounting Standards

~~FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157)~~ In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but applies to assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value under other accounting standards. The implementation of FAS 157 did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

~~FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions (FSP 157-1)~~ In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-1, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2008. This FSP excludes FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements from the provisions of FAS 157. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

~~FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP 157-2)~~ ~~In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, which delays the company’s January 1, 2008, effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial~~

liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

~~FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159)~~ In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS 159, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2008. This standard permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The implementation of FAS 159 did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combinations (FAS 141-R) In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 141-R, which ~~will become~~became effective for business combination transactions having an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. This standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date to be measured at their respective fair values. ~~The Statement~~It also requires acquisition-related costs, as well as restructuring costs the acquirer expects to incur for

which it is not obligated at acquisition date, to be recorded against income rather than included in purchase-price determination. ~~It also~~Finally, the standard requires recognition of contingent arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in income.

FASB Staff Position FAS 141(R)-a Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination (FSP FAS 141(R)-a) In February 2009, the FASB approved for issuance FSP FAS 141(R)-a, which became effective for business combinations having an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. This standard requires an asset or liability arising from a contingency in a business combination to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If it cannot be reasonably determined then the asset or liability will need to be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14,Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of the Loss.

FASB Staff Position FAS 132(R)-1, Employer’s Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP FAS 132(R)-1) In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, which becomes effective with the company’s reporting at December 31, 2009. This standard amends and expands the disclosure requirements on the plan assets of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of: how investment allocation decisions are made; the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair-value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period; and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The company does not prefund its other postretirement plan obligations, and the effect on the company’s disclosures for its pension plan assets as a result of the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will depend on the company’s plan assets at that time.

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 sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, ~~shareholders’~~stockholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chevron Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, ~~2007,~~2008 and December 31, ~~2006,~~2007 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, ~~2007,~~2008 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, ~~2007,~~2008 based on criteria established inInternal Control – Integrated Frameworkissued 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;~~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 ~~Controls~~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 ~~misstatements~~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.

As discussed in Note 1314 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for buy/sell contracts on April 1, 2006.

As discussed in Note 1516 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for uncertain income tax positions on January 1, 2007.

~~As discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans on December 31, 2006.~~

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.

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

General Exploration and production (upstream) operations consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas and marketing natural gas. Refining, marketing and transportation (downstream) operations relate to refining crude oil into finished petroleum products; marketing crude oil and the many products derived from petroleum; and transporting crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car. Chemical operations include the manufacture and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and fuel and lubricant oil additives.

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.

The nature of the company’s operations and the many countries in which it operates subject the company to changing economic, regulatory and political conditions. The company does not believe it is vulnerable to the risk of near-term severe impact as a result of any concentration of its activities.

Subsidiary and Affiliated Companies The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of controlled subsidiary companies more than 50 percent-owned and 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 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. ~~Subsequent recoveries in the carrying value of other investments are reported in “Other comprehensive income.”~~

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. ~~The~~When appropriate, the company’s share of the affiliate’s reported earnings is adjusted quarterly ~~when appropriate~~ to reflect the difference between these allocated values and the affiliate’s historical book values.

Derivatives The majority of the company’s activity in derivative commodity ~~derivative~~ 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 the derivative instruments are reported in current income. For derivative instruments relating to~~ foreign currency exposures, gains and losses from derivative instruments are reported in current income. Interest rate swaps – hedging a portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt – are accounted for as fair value hedges, whereas interest rate swaps relating to a portion of the company’s floating-rate debt are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated 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 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.” The balance of the short-term investments is reported as “Marketable securities” and ~~are~~is marked-to-market, with any unrealized gains or losses included in “Other comprehensive income.”

Inventories Crude oil, petroleum products and chemicals are generally stated at cost, using a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method. In the aggregate, these costs are below market. “Materials, supplies and other” inventories generally are stated at average cost.

Note 1Summary of Significant Accounting Policies –- Continued

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. Costs also are ~~also~~ 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 ~~19,~~20, beginning on page ~~FS-47,~~FS-48, 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, 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 the impairment review on an individual field basis. Outside the United States, reviews are performed on a country, concession, development area or field basis, as appropriate. In the refining, marketing, transportation and chemical areas, impairment reviews are generally done on the basis of a refinery, a plant, a marketing area or marketing assets by country. 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.

As required under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations(FAS 143), the fair value of a liability for an ARO is recorded as an asset and a liability when there is a ~~legal~~

legal obligation associated with the retirement of a long-lived asset and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Refer also to Note ~~23,~~24, beginning on page ~~FS-57,~~FS-58, 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.

Depreciation and depletion expenses for mining assets are determined using the unit-of-production method as the ~~proven~~proved reserves are produced. 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 generally is 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. As required by FASB Statement No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, 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 a 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,~~

mineral producing properties, a liability for an ~~asset retirement obligation~~ARO is made, following FAS 143. Refer to Note ~~23,~~24, beginning on page ~~FS-57,~~FS-58, for a discussion of FAS 143.

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 translations are currently included in 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 the currency translation adjustment in “Stockholders’ Equity.”

Revenue Recognition Revenues associated with sales of crude oil, natural gas, coal, 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 on the basis of the company’s net working interest (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-27. Refer to Note ~~13,~~14, on page ~~FS-42,~~FS-43, for a discussion of the accounting for buy/sell arrangements.

Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation ~~Effective July 1, 2005, the~~The company ~~adopted~~issues stock options and other share-based compensation to its employees and accounts for these transactions under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123R,Share-Based Payment(FAS 123R),.

value. The company ~~previously accounted~~recognizes stock-based compensation expense for ~~these plans~~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.

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows does not include noncash financing and investing activities. Refer to Note 23, starting on page FS-57, for a discussion of revisions to the company’s asset retirement obligations that did not involve cash receipts or payments in 2007.

In accordance with the cash-flow classification requirements of FAS 123R,Share-Based Payment, the “Net decrease ~~(increase)~~ in operating working capital” includes reductions of $106, $96 and $94 for excess income tax benefits associated with stock options exercised during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These amounts are offset by “Net purchases of treasury shares.”

~~The 2007~~In 2008, “Net purchases of other short-term investments” consist of ~~$799~~$367 in restricted cash associated with capital-investment projects at the company’s Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery and the Angola liquefied natural gas project that was invested in short-term marketable securities and reclassified from “Cash and cash ~~equivalents~~equivalents” to ~~a long-term deferred asset on~~“Deferred charges and other assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In ~~December~~ 2007, the company issued a $650 tax exempt Mississippi Gulf Opportunity Zone Bond as a source of funds for the Pascagoula Refinery project.

The “Net purchases of treasury shares” represents the cost of common shares ~~acquired in the open market~~ less the cost of shares issued for share-based compensation plans. ~~Open-market~~Purchases totaled $8,011, $7,036 and $5,033 in 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2008 excludes changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet that did not affect cash. “Net purchases ~~totaled $7,036, $5,033~~of treasury shares” excludes $680 of treasury shares acquired in exchange for a U.S. upstream property and ~~$3,029~~$280 in ~~2007, 2006~~cash. The carrying value of this property in “Properties, plant and ~~2005, respectively.~~equipment” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet was not significant. The “Increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities” excludes a $2,450 increase in “Accrued liabilities” that was offset to “Properties, plant and equipment” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This amount related to accruals associated with upstream operating agreements outside the United States. “Capital expenditures” excludes a $1,400 increase in “Properties, plant and equipment” (PPE) related to the acquisition of an additional interest in an equity affiliate that required a change to the consolidated method of accounting for the investment during 2008. This addition to PPE was offset primarily by reductions in “Investments and advances” and working capital and an increase in “Noncurrent deferred income tax” liabilities. Refer also to Note 24 beginning on page FS-58 for a discussion of revisions to the company’s AROs that also did not involve cash receipts or payments for the three years ending December 31, 2008.

Financial and Derivative Instruments

~~For the financial and derivative instruments discussed below, no material change in market risk occurred relative to the information presented in 2006.~~

Derivative Commodity ~~Derivative~~ 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. ~~The~~From time to time, the company also uses derivative commodity instruments for limited trading purposes.

The company uses International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements to govern derivative contracts with certain counterparties to mitigate credit risk. Depending on the nature of the derivative transactions, bilateral collateral arrangements may also be required. When the company is engaged in more than one outstanding derivative transaction with the same counterparty and also has a legally enforceable netting agreement with that counterparty, the net ~~marked-to-market~~mark-to-market exposure represents the netting of the positive and negative exposures with that counterparty and is a reasonable measure of the company’s credit risk exposure. The company also uses other netting agreements with certain counterparties with which it conducts significant transactions to mitigate credit risk.

The fair values of the outstanding contracts are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Accounts and notes receivable,” “Accounts payable,” “Long-term receivables – net” and “Deferred credits and other noncurrent obligations.” Gains and losses on the company’s risk management activities

FS-36



Note 7Financial and Derivative Instruments - Continued

are reported as either “Sales and other operating revenues” or “Purchased crude oil and products,” whereas trading gains and losses are reported as “Other income.”

~~FS-36~~



~~Note 7~~~~Financial and Derivative Instruments – Continued~~

The fair values of the outstanding contracts are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Accounts and notes receivable” or “Accounts payable,” with gains and losses reported as “Other income.”

Interest Rates The company enters into interest rate swaps from time to time as part of its overall strategy to manage the interest rate risk on its debt. Under the terms of the swaps, net cash settlements are based on the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to agreed notional principal amounts. Interest rate swaps related to a portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt are accounted for as fair value hedges.

Fair values of the interest rate swaps are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Accounts and notes receivable” or “Accounts payable.” Interest rate swaps related to floating-rate debt are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income. At year-end 2008, the company had no interest-rate swaps on floating-rate debt.

Fair Value Fair values are derived from quoted market prices, other independent third-party quotes or, if not available, the present value of the expected cash flows. The fair values reflect the cash that would have been received or paid if the instruments were settled at year-end.

Long-term debt of ~~$2,132~~$1,221 and ~~$5,131~~$2,132 had estimated fair values of ~~$2,325~~$1,414 and ~~$5,621~~$2,354 at December 31, ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006,~~2007, respectively.

The company holds cash equivalents and marketable securities in U.S. and non-U.S. portfolios. ~~Eurodollar bonds, floating-rate notes,~~The instruments held are primarily time deposits, money market funds and ~~commercial paper are the primary instruments held.~~fixed rate bonds. Cash equivalents and marketable securities had carrying/fair values of ~~$5,427~~$7,271 and ~~$9,200~~$5,427 at December 31, ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006,~~2007, respectively. Of these balances, ~~$4,695~~$7,058 and ~~$8,247~~$4,695 at the respective year-ends were classified as cash equivalents that had average maturities under 90 days. The remainder, classified as marketable securities, had average maturities of approximately one year. At December 31, ~~2007,~~ 2008,

restricted cash with a carrying/fair value of ~~$799~~$367 that is related to capital-investment projects at the company’s Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery and Angola liquefied natural gas project was reclassified from “Cash and cash ~~equivalents~~equivalents” to ~~a long-term deferred asset~~“Deferred charges and other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This restricted cash was invested in short-term marketable securities.

Fair values of other financial and derivative instruments at the end of ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006~~2007 were not material.

Concentrations of Credit Risk The company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of its cash equivalents, 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. This diversified investment policy limits the company’s exposure both to credit risk and to concentrations of credit risk. Similar standards of diversity 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 consequence, 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, requiring Letters of Credit is a principal method used to support sales to customers.

Note 8
Fair Value Measurements

The company implemented FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(FAS 157), as of January 1, 2008. FAS 157 was amended in February 2008 by FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS No. 157-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,and by FSP FAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,which delayed the company’s application of FAS 157 for nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. FAS 157 was further amended in October 2008 by FSP FAS 157-3,Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,which clarifies the application of FAS 157 to assets participating in inactive markets.

Implementation of FAS 157 did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position and had no effect on the company’s existing fair-value measurement practices. However, FAS 157 requires disclosure of a fair-value hierarchy of inputs the

FS-37


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts
Note 8Fair Value Measurements - Continued

company uses to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets 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. Beginning January 1, 2009, Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

The fair-value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2008, is as follows:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at
Fair Value on a Recurring Basis


			Prices in Active
			Markets for		Other
			Identical		Observable		Unobservable
	At December 31		Assets/Liabilities		Inputs		Inputs
	2008		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Marketable Securities	$	213	$	213	$	–	$	–
Derivatives		805		529		276		–

Total Assets at Fair Value	$	1,018	$	742	$	276	$	–

Derivatives	$	516	$	98	$	418	$	–

Total Liabilities at Fair Value	$	516	$	98	$	418	$	–

Marketable securities The company calculates fair value for its marketable securities based on quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities.

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 virtually all the offsetting amount to income. For derivatives with identical or similar provisions as contracts that are publicly traded on a regular basis, the company uses the market values of the publicly traded instruments as an input for fair-value calculations.

The company’s derivative instruments principally include crude oil, natural gas and refined-product futures, swaps, options and forward contracts, as well as interest-rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts. Derivatives

classified as Level 1 include futures, swaps and options contracts traded in active markets such as the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange).

Derivatives classified as Level 2 include swaps (including interest rate), options, and forward (including foreign currency) contracts principally with financial institutions and other oil and gas companies, the fair values for 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. The company incorporates internal review, evaluation and assessment procedures, including a comparison of Level 2 fair values derived from the company’s internally developed forward curves (on a sample basis) with the pricing information to document reasonable, logical and supportable fair-value determinations and proper level of classification.

Note 9
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. For this purpose, the investments are grouped as follows: upstream – exploration and production; downstream – refining, marketing and transportation; chemicals; and all other. The first three of these groupings represent the company’s “reportable segments” and “operating segments” as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 131,Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information(FAS 131).

The segments are separately managed for investment purposes under a structure that includes “segment managers” who report to the company’s “chief operating decision maker” (CODM) (terms as defined in FAS 131). The CODM is the company’s Executive Committee, a committee of senior officers that includes the Chief Executive Officer and that, in turn, reports to the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation.

The operating segments represent components of the company as described in FAS 131 terms 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 to assess their performance; and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.

Segment managers for the reportable segments are accountable directly to and maintain regular contact with the company’s CODM to discuss the segment’s operating activities and financial performance. The CODM approves annual capital and exploratory budgets at the reportable segment level, as well as reviews capital and exploratory funding for major

FS-38



Note 9Operating Segments and Geographic Data - Continued

projects and approves major changes to the annual capital and exploratory budgets. However, business-unit managers within the operating segments are directly responsible for decisions relating to project implementation and all other matters connected with daily operations. Company officers who are members of the Executive Committee also have individual management responsibilities and participate in other committees for purposes other than acting as the CODM.

“All Other” activities include the company’s interest in Dynegy (through May 2007, when Chevron sold its interest), mining operations, power generation businesses, worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, alternative fuels, and technology companies.

~~Note 8~~~~Operating Segments and Geographic Data – Continued~~

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 EarningsThe 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.” After-tax segment income by major operating area is presented in the following table:

Accounting for Buy/Sell Contracts

The company adopted the accounting prescribed by Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 04-13,Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty(Issue 04-13), on a prospective basis from April 1, 2006. Issue 04-13 requires that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty, including buy/sell transactions, be combined and considered as a single arrangement for purposes of applying the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29,Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,when the transactions are entered into “in

contemplation” of one another. In prior

periods, the company accounted for buy/sell transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income as a monetary transaction – purchases were reported as “Purchased crude oil and products”; sales were reported as “Sales and other operating revenues.”

With the company’s adoption of Issue 04-13, buy/sell transactions beginning in the second quarter 2006 are netted against each other on the Consolidated Statement of Income, with no effect on net income. ~~Amounts~~The amount associated with buy/sell transactions in ~~periods prior to~~ the ~~second~~first quarter 2006 ~~are~~is shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income on page FS-27.

Litigation

~~Litigation~~

RFG Patent Fourteen purported class actions were brought by consumers ofwho purchased reformulated gasoline (RFG) from January 1995 through August 2005, alleging that Unocal misled the California Air Resources Board into adopting standards for composition of RFG that overlapped with Unocal’s undisclosed and pending patents. ~~Eleven lawsuits were consolidated in U.S. District Court~~The parties agreed to a settlement that calls for, among other things, Unocal to pay $48 and for the ~~Central District~~establishment of ~~California, where~~acy presfund to administer payout of the award. The court approved the final settlement in November 2008.

Ecuador Chevron is a ~~class action has been certified, and three were consolidated~~defendant in a ~~state court action. Unocal is alleged~~civil lawsuit before the Superior Court of Nueva Loja in Lago Agrio, Ecuador, brought in May 2003 by plaintiffs who claim to ~~have monopolized, conspired and engaged in unfair methods~~be representatives of ~~competition, resulting in injury to consumers of RFG. Plaintiffs in both consolidated actions seek unspecified actual and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and interest on behalf~~certain residents of an ~~alleged class of consumers who purchased “summertime” RFG in California~~area where an oil production consortium formerly had operations. The lawsuit alleges damage to the environment from ~~January 1995 through August 2005. The parties have reached a tentative agreement~~the oil exploration and production operations, and seeks unspecified damages to ~~resolve all~~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.

In April 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 $8,000, 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 ~~amount that~~additional $8,300 could be assessed against Chevron for unjust enrichment. The engineer’s report is not ~~material~~binding on the court. Chevron also believes that the engineer’s work was performed and his report prepared in a manner contrary to law and in violation of the court’s orders. Chevron submitted a rebuttal to the ~~company’s results~~report in which it asked the court to strike the report in its entirety. In November 2008, the engineer revised the report and, without additional evidence, recommended an increase in the financial compensation for purported damages to a total of ~~operations, liquidity or~~$18,900 and an increase in the assessment for purported unjust enrichment to a

Due to ~~further negotiation and approval, including by~~ the ~~courts.~~defects associated with the engineer’s report, management does not believe the report itself has any utility in calculating a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss).

operations ~~...”~~at rates different from the U.S. statutory rate” from 8.3 percent in 2007 to 10.2 percent in 2008 was ~~primarily~~mainly due to a greater proportion of income being earned in 2008 in tax jurisdictions with higher tax rates. In addition, the ~~impact~~2007 period included a relatively low tax rate on the sale of ~~asset sales and~~downstream assets in Europe. The change in “Other” from a negative 1.8 percent to a negative 0.7 percent primarily related to a lower effective tax ~~rates~~rate on the sale of the company’s investment in ~~certain non-U.S. operations.

The company records its deferred taxes on a tax-jurisdiction basis and classifies those net amounts as current or noncurrent based on the balance sheet classification of the related assets or liabilities. The reported deferred tax balances are composed of the following:

~~In 2007, deferred~~Deferred tax liabilities at the end of 2008 increased by approximately ~~$1,000~~$1,300 from ~~the amount reported in 2006.~~year-end 2007. The increase was primarily related to increased temporary differences for properties, plant and equipment.

Deferred tax assets increased by approximately ~~$1,900~~$5,300 in ~~2007.~~2008. The increase related primarily to deferred credits recorded for future tax benefits earned from a new field in Africa ($2,200); increased deferred tax benefits for pension-related obligations ($1,300); and additional foreign tax credits arising from earnings in high-tax-rate international ~~jurisdictions. This increase was~~jurisdictions ($1,600), which were substantially offset by valuation allowances.

The overall valuation allowance relates to foreign tax credit carryforwards, tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences for which no benefit is expected to be realized. Tax loss carryforwards exist in many international jurisdictions. Whereas some of these tax loss carryforwards do not have an expiration date, others expire at various times from ~~2008~~

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 ~~$20,557~~$22,428 at December 31, ~~2007.~~2008. 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 eventual remittance of earnings that are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. At the end of ~~2007,~~2008, deferred income taxes were recorded for the undistributed earnings of certain international operations for which the company no longer intends to indefinitely reinvest the earnings. The company does not anticipate incurring significant additional taxes on remittances of earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested.

Uncertain Income Tax Positions~~Effective January 1, 2007, the company implemented~~ Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ~~(FIN~~(FIN 48), ~~which clarifies~~provides the accounting guidance for income tax benefits that are uncertain in nature. ~~This interpretation was intended by the standard-setters to address the diversity in practice that existed in this area of accounting for income taxes.~~

Under FIN 48, a 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 FIN 48 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 accounting interpretation also provides guidance on measurement methodology, derecognition thresholds, financial statement classification and disclosures, recognition of interest and penalties, and accounting for the cumulative-effect adjustment at the date of adoption. Upon adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, the company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment that reduced retained earnings by $35.

~~FS-44~~



~~Note 15~~ ~~Taxes – Continued~~

The following table indicates the changes to the company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended December 31, ~~2007.~~2008. The term “unrecognized tax benefits” in FIN 48 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 in accordance with the guidelines of FIN 48. Interest and penalties are not included.

~~The only individually significant change for 2007 was a reduction in an unrecognized tax benefit for a position previously expected to be taken but subsequently not taken on a 2006 tax return.~~ Although unrecognized tax benefits for individual tax positions may increase or decrease during ~~2008,~~2009, the company believes that no change will be individually significant during ~~2008.~~2009.

New Accounting Standards

~~FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157)~~In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but applies to assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value under other accounting standards. The implementation of FAS 157 did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions (FSP 157-1)In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-1, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2008. This FSP excludes FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and its related interpretive accounting pronouncements from the provisions of FAS 157. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

~~FASB Staff Position FAS No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP 157-2)~~In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, which delays the company’s January 1, 2008 effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

~~FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (FAS 159)~~In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS 159, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2008. This standard permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The implementation of FAS 159 did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.

FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (FAS 141-R)In December 2007, the FASB issued FAS 141-R, which ~~will become~~became effective for business combination transactions having an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. This standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to

recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date to be measured at their respective fair values. ~~The Statement~~It also requires acquisition-related costs, as well as restructuring costs the acquirer expects to incur for which it is not obligated at acquisition date, to be recorded against income rather than included in purchase-price determination. ~~It also~~Finally, the standard requires recognition of contingent arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in income.

FASB Staff Position FAS 141(R)-a Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination (FSP FAS 141(R)-a) In February 2009, the FASB approved for issuance FSP FAS 141(R)-a, which became effective for business combinations having an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009. This standard requires an asset or liability arising from a contingency in a business combination to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If it cannot be reasonably determined then the asset or liability will need to be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14,Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of the Loss.

FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160)The FASB issued FAS 160 in December 2007, which ~~will become~~became effective for the company January 1, 2009, with retroactive adoption of the ~~Statement’s~~Standard’s presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests.

Certain changes in a parent’s ownership interest are to be accounted for as equity transactions and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is to be initially measured at fair value. ~~The company does not anticipate the implementation~~Implementation of FAS 160 will not significantly change the presentation of ~~its consolidated~~the company’s Consolidated Statement of Income or Consolidated Balance Sheet.

FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161)In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2009. This standard amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.FAS 161 requires disclosures related to objectives and strategies for using derivatives; the fair-value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments; and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The company’s disclosures for derivative instruments will be expanded to include a tabular representation of the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments on the balance sheet, fair value gains and losses on the income statement ~~or consolidated balance sheet.~~and gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges recognized in earnings and other comprehensive income.

FASB Staff Position FAS 132(R)-1, Employer’s Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP FAS 132(R)-1)In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, which becomes effective with the company’s reporting at December 31, 2009. This standard amends and expands the disclosure requirements on the plan assets of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of: how investment allocation decisions are made; the major categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair-value measurements using significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period; and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets. The company does not prefund its other postretirement plan obligations, and the effect on the company’s disclosures for its pension plan assets as a result of the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will depend on the company’s plan assets at that time.

Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells

The company accounts for the cost of exploratory wells in accordance with FASB Statement No. 19,Financial and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies(FAS 19),as amended by FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 19-1,Accounting for Suspended Well Costs, which provides that exploratory well costs continue to be capitalized 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 enterprise is making sufficient progress assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. If either condition is not met or if an enterprise 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.

Note 20Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells - Continued

FAS 19 provides a number of indicators that can assist an entity to demonstrate sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and economic viability of the project.

Cash paid to settle performance units and stock appreciation rights was $136, $88 and $68 for 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Chevron Long-TermIncentive 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 January 2014, no more than 160 million shares may be issued under the LTIP, and no more than 64 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.

Texaco Stock Incentive Plan (Texaco SIP) On the closing of the acquisition of Texaco in October 2001, outstanding options granted under the Texaco SIP were converted to Chevron options. These options, which have 10-year contractual lives extending into 2011, retained a provision for being restored. This provision enables a participant who exercises a stock option to receive new options equal to the number of shares exchanged or who has shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations to receive new options equal to the number of shares exchanged or withheld. The restored options are fully exercisable six months after the date of grant, and the exercise price is the market value of the common stock on the day the restored option is granted. Beginning in 2007, restored options were granted under the LTIP. No further awards may be granted under the former Texaco plans.

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. If not exercised, these awards will expire between early 2009 and early 2015.

The fair market values of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted in 2008, 2007 and 2006 were measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Note 21 Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation - Continued

As of December 31, 2008, there was $179 of total unrecognized before-tax compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted or restored under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

At January 1, 2008, the number of LTIP performance units outstanding was equivalent to 2,225,015 shares. During 2008, 888,300 units were granted, 652,897 units vested with cash proceeds distributed to recipients and 59,863 units were forfeited. At December 31, 2008, units outstanding were 2,400,555, and the fair value of the liability recorded for these instruments was $201. In addition, outstanding stock appreciation rights and other awards that were granted under various LTIP and former Texaco and Unocal programs totaled approximately 1.4 million equivalent shares as of December 31, 2008. A liability of $35 was recorded for these awards.

Broad-Based Employee Stock Options In addition to the plans described above, Chevron granted all eligible employees stock options or equivalents in 1998. The options vested in February 2000 and expired in February 2008. A total of 9,641,600 options were awarded with an exercise price of $38.16 per share.

The fair value of each option on the date of grant was estimated at $9.54 using the Black-Scholes model for the preceding 10 years. The assumptions used in the model, based on a 10-year average, were: a risk-free interest rate of 7 percent, a dividend yield of 4.2 percent, an expected life of seven years and a volatility of 24.7 percent.

At January 1, 2008, the number of broad-based employee stock options outstanding was 652,715. Through the conclusion of the program in February 2008, 396,875 shares were exercised and 255,840 shares were forfeited. The total intrinsic value of these options exercised during 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $18, $30, and $10, respectively.

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 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 provisions of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) became effective for the company in 2008. These provisions change, among other things, the methodology for determining the interest rate to be used in calculating lump-sum benefits. This change in methodology increased the lump-sum interest rate and lowered the company’s pension benefit obligations by about $300 at December 31, 2007. The effect of the interest rate change on pension plan contributions during 2008 is expected to be~~de minimis, as the company’s funded pension plans are considered “well-funded” under PPA provisions.~~

~~The~~ company also sponsors other postretirement (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 per year. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company.

Effective December 31, 2006, the company implemented the recognition and measurement provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)~~(FAS 158)~~, which requires the recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit pension and ~~other postretirement benefit plans~~OPEB as an asset or liability, with the offset to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.”

The funded status of the company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans for 2008 and 2007 is on the following page:

Net actuarial losses recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” at December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, for the company’s U.S. pension, international pension and ~~other postretirement benefit~~OPEB plans are being amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately 10, 13 and 10 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 ~~2008,~~2009, the company estimates actuarial losses of ~~$59, $80~~$298, $103 and ~~$39~~$28 will be amortized from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for U.S. pension, international pension and ~~other postretirement benefit~~OPEB plans, respectively. In

addition, the company

estimates an additional ~~$78~~$201 will be recognized from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” during ~~2008~~2009 related to lump-sum settlement costs from U.S. pension plans.

The weighted average amortization period for recognizing prior service costs (credits) recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” at December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, was approximately nine and 1113 years for U.S. and international pension plans, respectively, and ~~six~~eight years for other postretirement benefit plans. During ~~2008,~~2009, the company estimates prior service (credits) costs of $(7), $25 and $(81) will be amortized from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” for U.S. pension, international pension and ~~other postretirement benefit~~OPEB plans, respectively.

²		~~The 2006 U.S. discount rate reflects remeasurement on July 1, 2006, due to plan combinations and changes, primarily several Unocal plans into related Chevron plans.~~

Expected Return on Plan AssetsThe company’s estimated long-term rate of return on pension assets is 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.

There have been no changes in the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets since 2002 for U.S. plans, which account for 6768 percent of the company’s pension plan assets. At December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, the estimated long-term rate of return on U.S. pension plan assets was 7.8 percent.

The market-related value of assets of the major 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, as opposed to the maximum allowable period of five years under U.S. accounting rules. 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 ~~the measurement date~~year-end is used in calculating the pension expense.

Discount Rate The discount rate assumptions used to determine U.S. and international pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and expense reflect the prevailing rates available on high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments. At December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, the company selected a 6.3 percent discount rate for the major U.S. pension and postretirement plans. This rate was based on a cash flow analysis that matched estimated future benefit payments to the Citigroup Pension Discount Yield Curve as of year-end ~~2007.~~2008. The discount rates at the end of 2007 and 2006 ~~and 2005~~ were ~~5.8~~6.3 percent and ~~5.5~~5.8 percent, respectively.

Other Benefit Assumptions For the measurement of accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, for the main U.S. postretirement medical plan, the assumed health care cost-trend rates start with 87 percent in ~~2008~~2009 and gradually decline to 5 percent for ~~2014~~2017 and beyond. For this measurement at December 31, ~~2006,~~2007, the assumed health care cost-trend rates started with 98 percent in ~~2007~~2008 and gradually declined to 5 percent for ~~2011~~2014 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 U.S. plan. A one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care cost-trend rates would have the following effects:


	1 Percent		1 Percent			1 Percent		1 Percent
	Increase		Decrease			Increase		Decrease

Effect on total service and interest cost components	$	9	$	(8	)	$	9	$	(8	)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation	$	86	$	(75	)	$	88	$	(75	)

Plan Assets and Investment Strategy The company’s pension plan weighted-average asset allocations at December 31 by asset category are as follows:

the plans’ investment performance, long-term asset allocation policy benchmarks have been established.

For the primary U.S. pension plan, the Chevron Board of Directors has approved the following percentage asset-allocation ranges: ~~Equities~~equities 40–70, ~~Fixed Income/Cash~~fixed income/cash 20–60, ~~Real Estate~~real estate 0–15 and ~~Other~~other 0–5. The significant international pension plans also have established maximum and minimum asset allocation ranges that vary by each plan. Actual asset allocation, within approved ranges, is based on a variety of current economic and market conditions and consideration of specific asset category risk.

Equities include investments in the company’s common stock in the amount of ~~$36~~$22 and ~~$17~~$36 at December 31, ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006,~~2007, respectively. The “Other” asset category includes minimal investments in private-equity limited partnerships.

Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments In ~~2007,~~2008, the company contributed ~~$78~~$577 and ~~$239~~$262 to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively. In ~~2008,~~2009, the company expects contributions to be approximately ~~$300~~$550 and ~~$200~~$250 to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively. Actual contribution amounts are dependent upon plan-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 benefits of approximately ~~$207~~$209 in ~~2008,~~2009, as compared with ~~$150~~$188 paid in ~~2007.~~

Employee Savings Investment Plan Eligible employees of Chevron and certain of its subsidiaries participate in the Chevron Employee Savings Investment Plan (ESIP).

Charges to expense for the ESIP represent the company’s contributions to the plan, which are funded either through the purchase of shares of common stock on the open market or through the release of common stock held in the leveraged employee stock ownership plan (LESOP), which follows. Total company matching contributions to employee accounts within the ESIP were $231, $206 and $169 in 2008, 2007 and ~~$145 in 2007,~~ 2006, ~~and 2005,~~ respectively. This cost was reduced by the value of shares released from the LESOP totaling

~~$33,~~ $40, $33 and $6 in 2008, 2007 and ~~$4 in 2007,~~ 2006, ~~and 2005,~~ respectively. The remaining amounts, totaling $191, $173 and $163 in 2008, 2007 and ~~$141 in 2007,~~ 2006, ~~and 2005,~~ respectively, represent open market purchases.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan Within the Chevron ESIP is an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). In 1989, Chevron established a LESOP as a constituent part of the ESOP. The LESOP provides partial prefunding of the company’s future commitments to the ESIP.

As permitted by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-6,Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, the company has elected to continue its practices, which are based on AICPA Statement of Position 76-3,Accounting Practices for Certain Employee Stock Ownership Plans, and subsequent consensus of the EITF of the FASB. The debt of the LESOP is recorded as debt, and shares pledged as collateral are reported as “Deferred compensation and benefit plan trust” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

The company reports compensation expense equal to LESOP debt principal repayments less dividends received and used by the LESOP for debt service. Interest accrued on LESOP debt is recorded as interest expense. Dividends paid on LESOP shares are reflected as a reduction of retained earnings. All LESOP shares are considered outstanding for earnings-per-share computations.

~~Total (credits) expenses~~A net credit to expense of $1 was recorded for the LESOP ~~were $(1), $(1)~~each year in 2008, 2007 and ~~$94 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, including $16, $17 and $18~~2006. The net credit for the respective years was composed of ~~interest expense related to LESOP debt and a (credit) charge~~credits to compensation expense of ~~$(17), $(18)~~$15, $17 and ~~$76.~~$18 and charges to interest expense for LESOP debt of $14, $16 and $17.

Of the dividends paid on the LESOP shares, $35, $8 ~~$59~~ and ~~$55~~$59 were used in 2008, 2007 ~~2006~~ and ~~2005,~~2006, respectively, to service LESOP debt. The amount in 2006 included $28 of LESOP debt service that was scheduled for payment on the first business day of January 2007 and was paid in late December 2006. ~~In addition, the company made contributions in 2005 of $98 to satisfy LESOP debt service in excess of dividends received by the LESOP.~~ No contributions were required in 2008, 2007 or 2006 as dividends received by the LESOP were sufficient to satisfy LESOP debt service.

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 ~~2007,~~2008, the trust contained 14.2 million shares of Chevron treasury stock. ~~The company intends to continue to pay its obligations under the benefit plans.~~ 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, ~~2007~~2008 and ~~2006,~~2007, trust assets of ~~$69~~$60 and ~~$98,~~$69, respectively, were invested primarily in interest-earning accounts.

Employee Incentive Plans Effective January 2008, the company established the Chevron ~~has two incentive plans,~~Incentive Plan (CIP), a single annual cash bonus plan for eligible employees that links awards to corporate, unit and individual performance in the prior year. This plan replaced other cash bonus programs, which primarily included the Management Incentive Plan (MIP) and the Chevron Success Sharing program. In 2008, charges to expense for cash bonuses were $757. Charges to expense for MIP were $184 and $180 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Charges for other cash bonus programs were $431 and $329 in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Chevron also has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), for officers and other regular salaried employees of the company and its subsidiaries who hold positions of significant responsibility. MIP is an annual cash incentive plan that links awards to performance results of the prior year. The cash awards may be deferred by the recipients by conversion to stock units or other investment fund alternatives. Aggregate charges to expense for MIP were $184, $180 and $155 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Awards under LTIP consist of stock options and other share-based compensation that are described in Note 21 ~~below.~~

Through 2007 the company had a program that provided eligible employees, other than those covered by MIP and LTIP, with an annual cash bonus if the company achieves certain financial and safety goals. Charges for the program were $431, $329 and $324 in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Effective in 2008, this program was modified to mirror the design of MIP and both were combined into a single plan named the Chevron Incentive Plan (CIP).

~~Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation~~

~~Effective July 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R,~~~~Share-Based Payment~~~~(FAS 123R)~~,~~for its share-based compensation plans. The company previously accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,~~~~Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees~~~~, and related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by FASB Statement No. 123,~~~~Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation~~.

~~The company adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method and, accordingly, results for prior periods were~~

not restated. Refer to Note 1, beginning on page FS-32, for the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share as if the company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of FAS 123R for the full year 2005.

For 2007, 2006 and 2005, compensation expense for stock options was $146 ($95 after tax), $125 ($81 after tax) and $65 ($42 after tax), respectively. In addition, compensation expense for stock appreciation rights, performance units and restricted stock units was $205 ($133 after tax), $113 ($73 after tax) and $59 ($39 after tax) for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There were no significant stock-based compensation costs that were capitalized at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Cash received in payment for option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $445, $444 and $297, respectively. Actual tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises were $94, $91 and $71 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Cash paid to settle performance units and stock appreciation rights was $88, $68 and $110 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash paid in 2005 included $73 for Unocal awards paid under change-in-control plan provisions.

The company presents the tax benefits of deductions from the exercise of stock options as financing cash inflows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In 2006, the company implemented the transition method of FASB Staff Position FAS 123R-3,~~Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards~~, for calculating the beginning balance of the pool of excess tax benefits related to employee compensation and determining the subsequent impact on the pool of employee awards that were fully vested and outstanding upon the adoption of FAS 123R. The company’s reported tax expense for the period subsequent to the implementation of FAS 123R was not affected by this election. Refer to Note 3, on page FS-35, for information on excess tax benefits reported on the company’s Statement of Cash Flows.

~~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 January 2014, no more than 160 million shares may be issued under the LTIP, and no more than 64 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.

Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the LTIP extend for 10 years from grant date. Effective with options granted in June 2002, one-third of each award vests on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant. Prior to this change, options vested one year after the date of grant.

~~FS-53~~


~~Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements~~ ~~Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts~~
~~Note 21~~~~Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation – Continued~~

Performance units granted under the LTIP settle in cash at the end of a three-year performance period. Settlement amounts are based on achievement of performance targets relative to major competitors over the period, and payments are indexed to the company’s stock price.

~~Texaco Stock Incentive Plan (Texaco SIP)~~On the closing of the acquisition of Texaco in October 2001, outstanding options granted under the Texaco SIP were converted to Chevron options. These options, which have 10-year contractual lives extending into 2011, retained a provision for being restored. This provision enables a participant who exercises a stock option to receive new options equal to the number of shares exchanged or who has shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations to receive new options equal to the number of shares exchanged or withheld. The restored options are fully exercisable six months after the date of grant, and the exercise price is the market value of the common stock on the day the restored option is granted. Beginning in 2007, restored options were granted under the LTIP. No further awards may be granted under the former Texaco plans.

~~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. Awards issued prior to 2004 generally may be exercised for up to three years after termination of employment (depending upon the terms of the individual award agreements) or the original expiration date, whichever is earlier. Awards issued since 2004 generally remained exercisable until the end of the normal option term if termination of employment occurred prior to August 10, 2007. Other awards issued under the Unocal Plans, including restricted stock, stock units, restricted stock units and performance shares, became vested at the acquisition date, and shares or cash were issued to recipients in accordance with change-in-control provisions of the plans.

The fair market values of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted in 2007, 2006 and 2005 were measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions:

period for retirement-eligible employees in accordance with vesting provisions of the company’s share-based compensation programs for awards issued after adoption of FAS 123R. As of December 31, 2007, there was $160 of total unrecognized before-tax compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted or restored under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of two years.

At January 1, 2007, the number of LTIP performance units outstanding was equivalent to 2,110,196 shares. During 2007, 931,200 units were granted, 784,364 units vested with cash proceeds distributed to recipients and 32,017 units were forfeited. At December 31, 2007, units outstanding were 2,225,015, and the fair value of the liability recorded for these instruments was $205. In addition, outstanding stock appreciation rights and other awards that were granted under various LTIP and former Texaco and Unocal programs totaled approximately 1 million equivalent shares as of December 31, 2007. A liability of $38 was recorded for these awards.

~~Broad-Based Employee Stock Options~~ In addition to the plans described above, Chevron granted all eligible employees stock options or equivalents in 1998. The options vested in February 2000 and expired in February 2008. A total of 9,641,600 options were awarded with an exercise price of $38.16 per share.

At January 1, 2007, the number of broad-based employee stock options outstanding was 1,306,059. During 2007, exercises of 637,044 shares and forfeitures of 16,300 shares reduced outstanding options to 652,715. As of December 31, 2007, these instruments had an aggregate intrinsic value of $36 and the remaining contractual term of these options was 0.1 year. The total intrinsic value of these options exercised during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $30, $10 and $9, respectively.

Guarantees The ~~company’s~~company has issued a guarantee of approximately $600 is associated with certain payments under a terminal use agreement entered into by a company affiliate. The terminal is expected to be operational by 2012. Over the approximate 16-year term of the guarantee, the maximum guarantee amount will reduce over time 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 any amounts paid under the guarantee. Chevron carries no liability for its obligation under this guarantee.

Indemnifications The company provided certain indemnities of contingent liabilities of Equilon and Motiva to Shell and Saudi Refining, Inc., in connection with the February 2002 sale of the company’s interests in those investments. The company would be required to perform if the indemnified liabilities become actual losses. Were that to occur, the company could be required to make future payments up to $300. Through the end of ~~2007,~~2008, the company paid $48 under these indemnities and continues to be obligated for possible additional indemnification payments in the future.

The company has also provided indemnities relating to contingent environmental liabilities related to assets originally contributed by Texaco to the Equilon and Motiva joint ventures and environmental conditions that existed prior to the formation of Equilon and Motiva or that occurred during the period of Texaco’s ownership interest in the joint ventures. In general, the environmental conditions or events that are subject to these indemnities must have arisen prior to December 2001. Claims must be asserted no later than February 2009 for Equilon indemnities and no later than February 2012 for Motiva indemnities. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments. In February 2009, Shell delivered a letter to the company purporting to preserve unmatured claims for certain Equilon indemnities. The ~~company has~~letter itself provides no estimate of the ultimate claim amount, and management does not ~~recorded~~believe the letter provides a basis to estimate the amount, if any, ~~liabilities for possible claims under these~~of a range of loss or potential range of loss with respect to the Equilon or the Motiva indemnities. The company posts no assets as collateral and has made no payments under the indemnities.

Long-Term Unconditional Purchase Obligations and Commitments, Including Throughput and Take-or-Pay Agreements The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contingent liabilities relating 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: ~~2008 – $4,700;~~ 2009 – ~~$3,300;~~$6,405; 2010 – ~~$3,300;~~$3,964; 2011 – ~~$1,900;~~$3,578; 2012 – ~~$1,300;~~$1,473; 2013 – $1,329; 2014 and after – ~~$4,900.~~$4,333. A portion of these commitments may ultimately be shared with project partners.

Minority Interests The company has commitments of ~~$204~~$469 related to minority interests in subsidiary companies.

Environmental The company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations 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 sites, including, but not limited to, federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, refineries, crude oil fields, service stations, terminals, land development areas, and mining operations, whether operating, closed or divested. 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.

Although the company has provided for known environmental obligations 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. 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, ~~2007,~~2008, was ~~$1,539.~~$1,818. Included in this balance were remediation activities of ~~240~~248 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 ~~2007~~2008 was ~~$123.~~$120. The federal Superfund law and analogous state laws 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 ~~2007~~2008 environmental reserves balance of ~~$1,416, $864~~$1,698, $968 related to ~~approximately 2,000 sites for~~ the company’s U.S. downstream operations, including refineries and other plants, marketing locations (i.e., service stations and terminals), and pipelines. The remaining ~~$552~~$730 was associated with various sites in ~~the~~ international downstream ($~~146)~~117), upstream ($~~267)~~390), chemicals ($~~105)~~154) and other businesses ($~~34)~~69). 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 or local regulations. No single remediation site at year-end ~~2007~~2008 had a recorded liability that was material to the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.

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 2324 below for a discussion of the company’s Asset Retirement Obligations.

Equity RedeterminationFor oil and gas producing operations, ownership agreements may provide for periodic reassessments of equity interests in estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves. These activities, individually or together, may result in gains or losses that could be material to earnings in any given period. One such equity redetermination process has been under way since 1996 for Chevron’s interests in four producing zones at the Naval Petroleum Reserve at Elk Hills, California, for the time when the remaining interests in these zones were owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. A wide range remains for a possible net settlement amount for the four zones. For this range of settlement, Chevron estimates its maximum possible net before-tax liability at approximately $200, and the possible maximum net amount that could be owed to Chevron is estimated at about $150. The timing of the settlement and the exact amount within this range of estimates are uncertain.

Other ContingenciesChevron receives claims from and submits claims to customers; trading partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies; governments; contractors; insurers; and suppliers. The amounts of these claims, individually and in the aggregate, may be significant and take lengthy periods to resolve.

Note 23

Asset Retirement Obligations

The company accounts for asset retirement obligations (ARO) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement ~~(FASB)~~ No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations(FAS 143) and FASB Interpretation No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143(FIN 47). ~~This accounting standard~~FAS 143 applies to the fair

value of a liability for an ARO that is recorded when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the liability can be reasonably estimated. Obligations associated with the retirement of these assets require recognition in certain circumstances: (1) the present value of a liability and offsetting asset for an ARO, (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. ~~In 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47,~~~~Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143~~~~(FIN 47), which was effective for the company on December 31, 2005.~~ FIN 47 clarifies that the phrase “conditional asset retirement obligation,” as used in FAS 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activity for which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the company. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. Uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement of a conditional ARO should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. FAS 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an ARO. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an ARO. In adopting FIN 47, the company did not recognize any additional liabilities for conditional AROs due to an inability to reasonably estimate the fair value of those obligations because of their indeterminate settlement dates.

FAS 143 and FIN 47 primarily affect the company’s accounting for crude oil and natural gas producing assets. No significant AROs associated with any legal obligations to retire refining, marketing and transportation (downstream) and chemical 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 and chemical 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 2008, 2007 ~~2006~~ and ~~2005:~~2006:

Table V – Reserve Quantity Information

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 noncommercial. Within the commercial classification are proved reserves and two categories of unproved: probable and possible. The noncommercial 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 reserves are the estimated quantities that geologic and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. 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.

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 corporate reserves manager, who is a member of a corporate department that reports directly to the executive vice president responsible for the company’s worldwide exploration and production activities. All of the RAC members are knowledgeable in SEC guidelines for proved reserves classification. The RAC coordinates its activities through two operating company-level reserves managers. These two reserves managers are not members of the RAC so as to preserve the corporate-level independence.

The RAC has the following primary responsibilities: provide independent reviews of the business units’ recommended reserve 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 theCorporate Reserves Manual,which provides standardized procedures used corporatewide for classifying and reporting hydrocarbon reserves.

~~FS-66~~FS-67

Table V Reserve Quantity Information –- Continued

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 and the Executive 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 the largest proved reserves quantities. These reviews include an examination of the proved-reserve records and documentation of their alignment with theCorporate Reserves Manual.

Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting In December 2008, the SEC issued its final rule, Modernization of Oil and Gas Reporting (Release Nos. 33-8995; 34-59192; FR-78). The disclosure requirements under the final rule will become effective for the company in its Form 10-K filing for the year ending December 31, 2009. The final rule changes a number of oil and gas reserve estimation and disclosure requirements under SEC Regulations S-K and S-X.

Among the principal changes in the final rule are requirements to use a price based on a 12-month average for reserve estimation and disclosure instead of a single end-of-year price; expanding the definition of oil and gas producing activities to include nontraditional sources such as bitumen extracted from oil sands; permitting the use of new reliable technologies to establish reasonable certainty of proved reserves; allowing optional disclosure of probable and possible reserves; modifying the definition of geographic area for disclosure of reserve estimates and production; amending disclosures of proved reserve quantities to include separate disclosures of synthetic oil and gas; expanding proved, undeveloped reserve disclosures (PUDs), including discussion of PUDs five years old or more; and disclosure of the qualifications of the chief technical person who oversees the company’s overall reserves estimation process.

Reserve Quantities At December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, oil-equivalent reserves for the company’s consolidated operations were 7.9 billion barrels. (Refer to the term “Reserves” on page ~~E-24~~E-147 for the definition of oil-equivalent reserves.) Approximately 2825 percent of the total reserves were in the United States. For the company’s interests in equity affiliates, oil-equivalent reserves were ~~2.9~~3.3 billion barrels, 8482 percent of which were associated with the company’s 50 percent ownership in TCO.

Aside from the Tengiz Field in the TCO ~~operations,~~affiliate, no single property accounted for more than 5 percent of the company’s total oil-equivalent proved reserves. ~~Fewer than~~About 20 other individual properties in the company’s portfolio of assets

each contained between 1 percent and 5 percent of the company’s oil-equivalent proved reserves, which in the aggregate accounted for ~~about 37~~approximately 40 percent of the company’s total proved ~~reserves total.~~reserves. These properties were geographically dispersed, located in the United States, South America, West Africa, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.

In the United States, total oil-equivalent reserves at year-end ~~2007~~2008 were ~~2.2~~2.0 billion barrels. Of this amount, 4143 percent, 2122 percent and 3835 percent were located in California, the Gulf of Mexico and other U.S. areas, respectively.

In California, liquids reserves represented 94 percent of the total, with most classified as heavy oil. Because of heavy oil’s high viscosity and the need to employ enhanced recovery methods, the producing operations are capital intensive in nature. Most of the company’s heavy-oil fields in California employ a continuous steamflooding process.

In the Gulf of Mexico region, liquids represented approximately 66 percent of total oil-equivalent reserves. Production operations are mostly offshore and, as a result, are also capital intensive. Costs include investments in wells, production platforms and other facilities, such as gathering lines and storage facilities.

In other U.S. areas, the reserves were split about equally between liquids and natural gas. For production of crude oil, some fields utilize enhanced recovery methods, including ~~waterflood~~water-flood and CO₂ injection.

The pattern of net reserve changes shown in the following tables, for the three years ending December 31, ~~2007,~~2008, is not necessarily indicative of future trends. Apart from acquisitions, the company’s ability to add proved reserves is affected by, among other things, events and circumstances that are outside the company’s control, such as delays in government permitting, partner approvals of development plans, ~~changes~~declines in oil and gas prices, OPEC constraints, geopolitical uncertainties and civil unrest.

~~The company’s estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves and changes thereto for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007 are shown in the tables on pages FS-68 and FS-70.~~

~~Information on Canadian Oil Sands Net Proved Reserves Not Included Above:~~

In addition to conventional liquids and natural gas proved reserves, Chevron has significant interests in proved oil sands reserves in Canada associated with the Athabasca project. For internal management purposes, Chevron views these reserves and their development as an integral part of total upstream operations. However, SEC regulations define these reserves as mining-related and not a part of conventional oil and gas reserves. Net proved oil sands reserves were 436 million barrels as of December 31, 2007. The oil sands reserves are not considered in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for conventional oil and gas reserves, which is found on page FS-73.

~~Noteworthy amounts in the categories of liquids proved-reserve changes for 2005 through 2007 are discussed below:~~

~~Revisions~~ In 2005, net revisions reduced reserves by 239 million and 24 million barrels for worldwide consolidated companies and equity affiliates, respectively. For consolidated companies, the net decrease was 199 million barrels in the international areas and 40 million barrels in the United States. The largest downward net revisions internationally were 108 million barrels in Indonesia and

53 million barrels in Kazakhstan, due primarily to the effect of higher year-end prices on the calculation of reserves associated with production-sharing and variable-royalty contracts. In the United States, the 40 million-barrel reduction was across many fields in each of the geographic sections. Most of the downward revision for affiliated companies was a 19 million-barrel reduction in Hamaca, attributable to revised government royalty provisions. For TCO, the downward effect of higher year-end prices was partially offset by increased reservoir performance.

~~FS-68~~



~~Table V~~ ~~Reserve Quantity Information – Continued~~

In 2006, net revisions increased reserves by 39 million and 84 million barrels for worldwide consolidated companies and equity affiliates, respectively. International consolidated companies accounted for the net increase of 39 million barrels. The largest upward net revisions were 61 million barrels in Indonesia and 27 million barrels in Thailand. In Indonesia, the increase was the result of infill drilling and improved steamflood performance. The upward revision in Thailand reflected additional drilling and development activity during the year. These upward revisions were partially offset by reductions in reservoir performance in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, which decreased reserves by 43 million barrels and by 32 million barrels, respectively. Most of the upward revision for affiliated companies was related to a 60 million-barrel increase in TCO as a result of improved reservoir performance.

In 2007, net revisions decreased reserves by 146 million barrels for worldwide consolidated companies and increased reserves by 103 million barrels for equity affiliates. For consolidated companies, the largest downward net revisions were 89 million barrels in Africa and 66 million barrels in Indonesia. The company’s estimated net proved oil and natural gas reserves and changes thereto for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 are shown in the tables on pages FS-69 and FS-71.

Information on Canadian Oil Sands Net Proved Reserves Not Included Above:

In addition to conventional liquids and natural gas proved reserves, Chevron has a 20 percent nonoperated working interest in the Athabasca oil-sands project in Canada. As of year-end 2008, SEC regulations defined oil-sands reserves as mining-related and not a part of conventional oil and gas reserves. Net proved oil-sands reserves were 436 million and 443 million as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The oil-sands quantities were not classified as proved reserves at the end of 2008 because under the provisions of SEC Industry Guide 7,Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to Be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations,a mineral deposit must be economically producible at the time of the reserve determination in order to be classified as proved. Due to the decline in crude-oil prices at the end of 2008, the operating costs of the Athabasca project exceeded the revenues from crude-oil sales at that time. The inability to classify the oil-sands volumes as proved at the end of 2008 did not affect the daily operations of the Athabasca project nor the activities under way to expand those operations. During 2008, bitumen production for the project averaged 126,000 barrels per day (27,000 net). The expansion project is designed to increase production capacity to 255,000 barrels per day in late 2010. The oil-sands proved reserves for 2007 and 2006 are not included in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for conventional oil and gas reserves on page FS-73.

Noteworthy amounts in the categories of liquids proved-reserve changes for 2006 through 2008 are discussed below:

Revisions In 2006, net revisions increased reserves by 39 million and 84 million barrels for worldwide consolidated companies and equity affiliates, respectively. International consolidated companies accounted for the net increase of 39 million barrels. The largest upward net revisions were 61 mil-

lion barrels in Indonesia and 27 million barrels in Thailand. In Indonesia, the increase was the result of infill drilling and improved steamflood and waterflood performance.

In Africa, the decrease was mainly based on field performance data for fields in Nigeria and the effect of higher year-end prices in Angola and ~~the~~ Republic of the Congo. In Indonesia, the decline also reflected the impact of higher

FS-69


Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities

year-end prices. Higher prices also resulted in downward revisions in Karachaganak and Azerbaijan. For equity affiliates, most of the upward revision was related to a 92 million-barrel increase for ~~the~~TCO’s Tengiz Field ~~in TCO~~ and an 11 million-barrel increase for Petroboscan in Venezuela, both as a result of improved reservoir performance. At TCO, the upward revision was tempered by the negative impact of higher year-end prices.

In 2008, net revisions increased reserves by 536 million barrels for worldwide consolidated companies and increased reserves by 267 million barrels for equity affiliates. For consolidated companies, international areas added 552 million barrels. The largest increase was in the Asia-Pacific region, which added 384 million barrels. The majority of the increase was in the Partitioned Neutral Zone as a result of a concession extension. Upward revisions were also recorded in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan and were mainly associated with the effect of lower year-end prices on the calculation of reserves associated with production-sharing and variable-royalty contracts. In Indonesia, reserves increased 191 million barrels due mainly to the impact of lower year-end prices on the reserve calculations for production-sharing contracts, as well as a result of development drilling and improved waterflood and steamflood performance. For affiliate companies, the 249 million-barrel increase for TCO was due to the effect of lower year-end prices on the royalty determination and facility optimization at the Tengiz and Korolev fields.

Improved Recovery In 2005, improved recovery increased liquids volumes worldwide by 203 million barrels for consolidated companies. International areas accounted for 142 million barrels of the increase. Indonesia added 42 million barrels due to improved performance. Reserve additions of 67 million barrels in Africa occurred primarily in Angola and resulted from infill drilling, wells workovers and secondary recovery from gas injection. Additions of 29 million barrels in the “Other” international area were mainly attributable to improved waterflood performance offshore eastern Canada. An increase of 61 million barrels occurred in the United States, primarily in California due to improved performance on a large heavy oil field under thermal recovery.

In 2006, improved recovery increased liquids volumes worldwide by 83 million barrels for consolidated companies. Reserves in the United States increased 52 million barrels, with California representing 49 million barrels of the total increase due to steamflood expansion and revised modeling activities. Internationally, improved recovery increased reserves by 31 million barrels, with no single country accounting for an increase of more than 10 million barrels.

In 2007, improved recovery increased liquids volumes by 20 million barrels worldwide. No addition was individually significant.

In 2008, improved recovery increased worldwide liquids volumes by 37 million barrels. International consolidated companies accounted for 22 million barrels and the United States accounted for 5 million barrels. The largest addition

was related to gas reinjection in Kazakhstan. Affiliated companies increased reserves 10 million barrels due to improved secondary recovery at Boscan.

Extensions and Discoveries In 2005, extensions and discoveries increased liquids volumes worldwide by 184 million barrels for consolidated companies. The largest increase was 49 million barrels in Nigeria, reflecting new development drilling, including in the Agbami Field, among others. New field developments in Brazil contributed another 41 million barrels of discoveries. In the United States, the 44 million-barrel addition was associated mainly with the initial booking of reserves for the Blind Faith Field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

In 2006, extensions and discoveries increased liquids volumes worldwide by 107 million barrels for consolidated companies. Reserves in Nigeria increased by 27 million barrels due in part to the initial booking of reserves for the Aparo Field. Additional drilling activities contributed 19 million barrels in the United Kingdom and 14 million barrels in Argentina. In the United States, the Gulf of Mexico added 25 million barrels, mainly the result of the initial booking of the Great White Field in the deepwater Perdido Fold Belt area.

In 2007, extensions and discoveries increased liquids volumes by 60 million barrels worldwide. The largest additions were 25 million barrels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, mainly for the deepwater Tahiti and Mad Dog fields.

In 2008, extensions and discoveries increased consolidated company reserves 33 million barrels worldwide. The United States increased reserves 17 million barrels, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico. International companies increased reserves 16 million barrels with no one country resulting in additions greater than 5 million barrels.

Purchases In 2005, the acquisition of 572 million barrels of liquids related solely to the acquisition of Unocal in August. About three-fourths of the 376 million barrels acquired in the international areas were represented by volumes in Azerbaijan and Thailand. Most volumes acquired in the United States were in Texas and Alaska.

In 2006, acquisitions increased liquids volumes worldwide by 21 million barrels for consolidated companies and 119 million barrels for equity affiliates. For consolidated companies, the amount was mainly the result of new agreements in Nigeria, which added 13 million barrels of reserves. The other-equity-affiliates quantity reflects the result of the conversion of Boscan and LL-652 operations to joint stock companies in Venezuela.

In 2007, acquisitions of 316 million barrels for equity affiliates related to the formation of a new Hamaca equity affiliate in Venezuela.

Sales In ~~2005, sales of 58 million barrels in the “Other” international area related to the disposition of the former Unocal operations onshore in Canada.~~

In 2006, sales decreased reserves by 15 million barrels due to the conversion of the LL-652 risked service agreement to a joint stock company in Venezuela.

In 2007, affiliated company sales of 432 million barrels related to the dissolution of a Hamaca equity affiliate in Venezuela.

~~Noteworthy amounts in the categories of natural gas proved-reserve changes for 2005 through 2007 are discussed below:~~

~~Revisions~~ In 2005, reserves were revised downward by 14 billion cubic feet (BCF) for consolidated companies and 498 BCF for equity affiliates. For consolidated companies, negative revisions were 428 BCF in the Asia-Pacific region. Most of the decrease was attributable to one field in Kazakhstan, due mainly to the effects of higher year-end prices on variable-royalty provisions of the production-sharing contract. Reserves additions for consolidated companies totaled 211 BCF and 243 BCF in Africa and “Other,”

respectively. The majority of the African region changes were in Angola, due to a revised forecast of fuel gas usage, and in Nigeria, from improved reservoir performance. The availability of third-party compression in Colombia accounted for most of the increase in the “Other” region. Revisions in the United States decreased reserves by 9 BCF, as nominal increases in the San Joaquin Valley were more than offset by decreases in the Gulf of Mexico and “Other” region. For the TCO affiliate in Kazakhstan, a reduction of 547 BCF reflects the updated forecast of future royalties payable and year-end price effects, partially offset by volumes added as a result of an updated assessment of reservoir performance.

⁴	Net reserve changes (excluding production) in 2008 consist of 1,936 billion cubic feet of developed reserves and (255) billion cubic feet of undeveloped reserves for consolidated companies and 324 billion cubic feet of developed reserves and 806 billion cubic feet of undeveloped reserves for affiliated companies.
⁵	During 2008, the percentages of undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2007, transferred to developed reserves were 12 percent and 0 percent for consolidated companies and affiliated companies, respectively.

Noteworthy amounts in the categories of natural gas proved-reserve changes for 2006 through 2008 are discussed below:
RevisionsIn 2006, revisions accounted for a net increase of 481 ~~BCF~~billion cubic feet (BCF) for consolidated companies and 26 BCF for affiliates. For consolidated companies, net increases of 511 BCF internationally were partially offset by a 30 BCF downward revision in the United States. Drilling and development activities added 337 BCF of reserves in Thailand, while Kazakhstan added 200 BCF, largely due to development activity. Trinidad and Tobago increased 185 BCF, attributable to improved reservoir performance and a

new contract for sales of natural gas. These additions were partially offset by downward revisions of 224 BCF in the United Kingdom and 130 BCF in Australia due to drilling results and reservoir performance. U.S. “Other” had a downward revision of 102 BCF due to reservoir performance, which was partially offset by upward revisions of 72 BCF in the Gulf of Mexico and California related to reservoir performance and development drilling. TCO had an upward revision of 26 BCF associated with additional development activity and updated reservoir performance.

In 2007, revisions increased reserves for consolidated companies by a net 395 BCF and increased reserves for ~~affiliated~~affili-

ated companies by a net 73 BCF. For consolidated companies, net increases were 209 BCF in the United States and 186 BCF internationally. Improved reservoir performance for many fields in the United States contributed 130 BCF in the “Other” region, 40 BCF in California and 39 BCF in the Gulf of Mexico. Drilling activities added 360 BCF in Thailand and improved reservoir performance added 188 BCF in Trinidad and Tobago. These additions were partially offset by downward revisions of 185 BCF in Australia due to drilling results and 136 BCF in Nigeria due to field performance. Negative revisions due to the impact of higher prices were recorded in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. TCO had an upward revision of 75 BCF associated with improved reservoir performance and development activities. This upward revision was net of a negative impact due to higher year-end prices.

In 2008, revisions increased reserves for consolidated companies by a net 1,166 BCF and increased reserves for affiliated companies by 1,130 BCF. In the Asia-Pacific region, positive revisions totaled 961 BCF for consolidated companies. Almost half of the increase was attributed to the Karachaganak Field in Kazakhstan, due mainly to the effects of low year-end prices on the production-sharing contract and the results of development drilling and improved recovery. Other large upward revisions were recorded for the Pattani Field in Thailand due to a successful drilling campaign. For the TCO affiliate in Kazakhstan, an increase of 498 BCF reflected the impacts of lower year-end prices on the royalty determination and facility optimization. Reserves associated with the Angola LNG project accounted for a majority of the 632 BCF increase in “Other” affiliated companies.

Extensions and Discoveries In 2005, consolidated companies increased reserves by 370 BCF, including 167 BCF in the United States and 118 BCF in the Asia-Pacific region. In the United States, 99 BCF was added in the “Other” region and 68 BCF in the Gulf of Mexico, primarily due to drilling activities. The addition in Asia-Pacific resulted primarily from increased drilling in Kazakhstan.

In 2006, extensions and discoveries accounted for an increase of 799 BCF for consolidated companies, reflecting a 531 BCF increase outside the United States and a U.S. increase of 268 BCF. Bangladesh added 451 BCF, the result of development activity and field extensions, and Thailand added 59 BCF, the result of drilling activities. U.S. “Other” contributed 157 BCF, approximately half of which was related to South Texas and the Piceance Basin, and the Gulf of Mexico added 111 BCF, partly due to the initial booking of reserves at the Great White Field in the deepwater Perdido Fold Belt area.

In 2007, extensions and discoveries accounted for an increase of 518 BCF worldwide. The largest addition was 330 BCF in Bangladesh, the result of drilling activities. Other additions were not individually significant.

Purchases In 2005, all except 7 BCF of the 5,656 BCF total purchases were associated with the Unocal acquisition. International reserve acquisitions were 4,488 BCF, with Thailand accounting for about half the volumes. Other significant volumes were added in Bangladesh and Myanmar.

In 2006, purchases of natural gas reserves were 35 BCF for consolidated companies, about evenly divided between the company’s ~~United States~~U.S. and international operations. Affiliated companies added 54 BCF of reserves, the result of conversion of an operating service agreement to a joint stock company in Venezuela.

In 2007, purchases of natural gas reserves were 141 BCF for consolidated companies, which ~~included~~include the acquisition of an additional interest in the Bibiyana Field in Bangladesh. Affiliated company purchases of 211 BCF related to the formation of a new Hamaca equity affiliate in Venezuela and an initial booking related to the Angola LNG project.

Sales ~~In 2005, sales of 248 BCF in the “Other” international region related to the disposition of former-Unocal’s onshore properties in Canada.~~

In 2006, sales for consolidated companies totaled 149 BCF, mostly associated with the conversion of a risked service agreement to a joint stock company in Venezuela.

In 2007, sales were 76 BCF and 175 BCF for consolidated companies and equity affiliates, respectively. The affiliated company sales related to the dissolution of a Hamaca equity affiliate in Venezuela.

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, related to the preceding proved oil and gas reserves, is calculated in accordance with the requirements of FAS 69. Estimated future cash inflows from production are computed by applying year-end prices for oil and gas to year-end quantities of estimated net proved reserves. Future price changes are limited to those provided by contractual arrangements in existence at the end of each reporting year. Future development and production costs are those estimated future expenditures necessary to develop and produce year-end estimated proved reserves based on year-end cost indices, assuming continuation of year-end economic conditions, and include estimated costs for asset retirement obligations. Estimated future income taxes are calculated by applying appropriate year-end statutory tax rates. These rates reflect allowable deductions and tax credits and are applied to estimated future pretax net cash flows, less the tax basis of related assets. Discounted future net cash flows are calculated

using 10 percent midperiod discount factors. Discounting requires a year-by-year estimate of when future expenditures will be incurred and when reserves will be produced.

The information provided does not represent management’s estimate of the company’s expected future cash flows or value of proved oil and gas reserves. Estimates of proved-reserve quantities are imprecise and change over time as new information becomes available. Moreover, probable and possible reserves, which may become proved in the future, are excluded from the calculations. The arbitrary valuation prescribed under FAS 69 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 should not be relied upon as an indication of the company’s future cash flows or value of its oil and gas reserves. In the following table, “Standardized Measure Net Cash Flows” refers to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.
