PART I
 
Item 1.    Business
 
(a)  General Development of Business
 
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 foreigninternational subsidiaries that engage in fully integrated petroleum operations, chemicals operations, mining operations, of coal and other minerals, power generation and energy services. The company conducts business activities in the United States and approximately 180 other countries. 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.
 
A list of the company’s major subsidiaries is presented on pagesE-4 andE-5 of this Annual Report onForm 10-K. As of December 31, 2006, Chevron had nearly 62,500 employees (including about 6,600 service station employees). Approximately 28,800, or 46 percent, of the company’s employees were employed in U.S. operations.
Acquisition of Unocal Corporation
On August 10, 2005, the company acquired Unocal Corporation (Unocal), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. This acquisition was accounted for under the rules of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141,Business Combinations. Unocal’s principal upstream operations were in North America and Asia, including the Caspian region. Other activities included ownership interests in proprietary and common carrier pipelines, natural gas storage facilities and mining operations. Further discussionDiscussion of the Unocal acquisition is contained in Note 2 beginning onpage FS-34 of this Annual Report onForm 10-K.FS-34.
 
A list of the company’s major subsidiaries is presented on pagesE-4 andE-5. As of December 31, 2007, Chevron had approximately 65,000 employees (including about 6,000 service station employees). Approximately 31,000, 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.
 
 
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.

(b)  Description of Business and Properties
 
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. Tabulations of segment sales and other operating revenues, earnings and income taxes for the three years ending December 31, 2006,2007, and assets as of the end of 20062007 and 20052006 — for the United States and the company’s international geographic areas — are in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements beginning onpage FS-38 of this Annual Report onForm 10-K.FS-37. In addition, similar comparative data for the company’s investments in and income from equity affiliates and property, plant and equipment are in Notes 1211 and 1312 on pages FS-41FS-40 to FS-43.FS-42.
 
Capital and Exploratory Expenditures
 
Total reported expenditures for 20062007 were $16.6$20 billion, including $1.9$2.3 billion for Chevron’s share of expenditures by affiliated companies, which did not require cash outlays by the company. In 20052006 and 2004,2005, expenditures were $11.1$16.6 billion and $8.3$11.1 billion, respectively, including the company’s share of affiliates’ expenditures of $1.7$1.9 billion and $1.6$1.7 billion in the corresponding periods. The 2005 amount excludes the $17.3 billion for the acquisition of Unocal.
 
Of the $16.6$20 billion in expenditures for 2006, 772007, 78 percent, or $12.8$15.5 billion, related to upstream activities. Approximately the same percentage was also expended for upstream operations in 20052006 and 2004.2005. 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 2007,2008, the company estimates capital and exploratory expenditures will be 1815 percent higher at $19.6$22.9 billion, including $2.4$2.6 billion of spending by affiliates. About three-fourths of the total, or $14.6$17.5 billion, is budgeted for exploration and production activities, with $10.6$12.7 billion of that amount outside the United States.

In 2006, Chevron conducted exploration and production operationsAs shown in the United States and approximately 35 other countries. Worldwidetable on page 5, worldwide oil-equivalent production of 2.672.59 million barrels per day in 2006,2007 was up 34,000 barrels per day from the prior year. Worldwide oil-equivalent production including volumes“other produced volumes” (refer to footnote 5 to the table on page 5) was 2.62 million barrels per day, down about 2 percent from oil sands2006. The decline was mostly attributable to the change in Canada and production under the Boscan operating service agreement in Venezuela increased approximately 6 percent from 2005. The increase between periods was mostly attributable to the Unocal acquisition.a joint-stock company in October 2006. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section beginning onpage FS-6 for a detailed discussion of the factors explaining the 2004–20062005–2007 changes in production for crude oil and natural gas liquids and natural gas.
 
The company estimates that its average worldwide oil-equivalent production in 20072008 will be approximately 2.62.65 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, and production that may have to be shut in due to weather conditions, civil unrest, changing geopolitics or other disruptions to daily 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. Expected additions to production capacity in 2008 through 2010 may permit worldwide oil-equivalent production levels to increase from 2007 levels. 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.

Contract Obligations
 
The company sells crude oil and natural gas from its producing operations under a variety of contractual obligations. Most contracts generally commit the company to sell quantities based on production from specified properties, but certainsome natural gas sales contracts specify delivery of fixed and determinable quantities.
 
In the United States, the company is contractually committed to deliver to third parties and affiliates approximately 281456 billion cubic feet of natural gas through 2009 from U.S. reserves.2010. The company believes it can satisfy these contracts from quantities available from production of the company’s proved developed U.S. reserves. These contracts include variable-pricing terms.
 
Outside the United States, the company is contractually committed to deliver to third parties a total of approximately 560631 billion cubic feet of natural gas from 20072008 through 20092010 from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Denmark and the Philippines. The sales contracts contain variable pricing formulas that are generally referenced to the prevailing market price for crude oil, natural gas or other petroleum products at the time of delivery and in some cases consider inflation or other factors. The company believes it can satisfy these contracts from quantities available from

1Indicates the fractional number of wells completed during the year, regardless of when drilling was initiated. Completion refers to the installation of permanent equipment for the production of crude oil or natural gas or, in the case of a dry well, the reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency. Some exploratory wells are not drilled with the intention of producing from the well bore. In such cases, “completion” refers to the completion of drilling. Further categorization of productive or dry is based on the determination as to whether hydrocarbons in a sufficient quantity were found to justify completion as a producing well, whether or not the well is actually going to be completed as a producer.

Review of Ongoing Exploration and Production Activities in Key Areas
 
Chevron’s 20062007 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 below include references to “total production” and “net production,” which are defined under “Production” in Exhibit 99.1 onpage E-11E-23. of this Annual Report onForm 10-K. In addition to the activities discussed, Chevron was active in other geographic areas, but those activities are considered less significant.
 
The discussion below alsothat 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 andor 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 mature areas.other geographic areas, but those activities are considered less significant.

Canada: The company’s assets in Canada include acompany has nonoperated working interests of 27 percent nonoperated working interest in the Hibernia Field offshore eastern Canada aand 20 percent nonoperated working interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP) and exploration acreage in the Mackenzie Delta and Orphan Basin. Excluding volumes mined at the AOSP, daily net production in 2006 from the company’s Canadian operations was 46,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 6 million cubic feet of natural gas. The company also owns a 28 percent operated interest in the Hebron project offshore eastern Canada. Negotiations with the government of Newfoundland and Labrador on commercial terms for the development of the field were suspended in April 2006, and the project team was demobilized. The timing for a possible resumption of negotiations was uncertain as of early 2007.
At the AOSP, which began operations in 2003, bitumen is mined from oil sands and upgraded into synthetic crude oil using hydroprocessing technology. Chevron’s share of bitumen production in 2006 averaged 27,000 barrels per day.
In 2006, the company elected to participate in the first phase of expansion of the AOSP. The expansion is being designed to produce approximately 100,000 barrels of bitumen per day (20,000 net barrels) and upgrade it into synthetic crude oil at an estimated total cost of $10 billion. The expansion will increase total AOSP design capacity to approximately 255,000 barrels of bitumen per day by 2010. This phase of expansion includes the construction of mining and extraction facilities at the Jackpine Mine, for which net proved undeveloped oil sands reserves were recorded in 2006.
Net proved oil sands reserves at the end of 2006 were 443 million barrels, increasing from 2005 primarily due to the addition of reserves for the Jackpine Mine and proved developed oil sands reserves for the Muskeg River Mine. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations define these reserves as mining-related and not a part of conventional oil and gas reserves.
Chevron also holds, a 60 percent operated interest in the Ells River “In Situ” Oil Sands Project, a 28 percent operated interest in the Athabasca region. ThisHebron project and exploration acreage in the Mackenzie Delta, Beaufort Sea and the Orphan Basin. Excluding volumes mined at the AOSP, average net oil-equivalent production during 2007 was 36,000 barrels per day, composed of 35,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 5 million cubic feet of natural gas. Substantially all of the production was from the Hibernia Field. At AOSP, bitumen mined and upgraded to synthetic crude oil averaged 27,000 net barrels per day.
At AOSP, the first phase of an expansion project, with an estimated total project cost of $10.2 billion, is being designed to upgrade an additional 100,000 barrels of bitumen into synthetic crude oil per day. The expansion would increase total AOSP design capacity to more than 255,000 barrels of bitumen per day in 2010. Preliminary work is under way to determine the feasibility of additional expansion projects.
The Ells River project consists of heavy oil leases of more than 75,000 acres that were acquired in 2005 and 2006.85,000 acres. The area contains significant volumes with the potential for recovery using Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage, a proven technology that employs steam and horizontal drilling to extract the bitumen through wells rather than through mining operations. InitialDuring 2007, a successful appraisal drilling beganprogram involving 66 wells was completed.Follow-up appraisal activities are planned in January 2007.2008, with a similar number of wells and a small2-D and3-D seismic program.

The potential development at Hebron stalled in 2006 after unsuccessful negotiations with the provincial government of Newfoundland and Labrador. In mid-2007, the Hebron partners executed a nonbinding memorandum of understanding with the government that outlined fiscal, equity and local-benefit terms associated with the Hebron project. Execution of formal agreements is expected during 2008.


Exploratory activities are expected to continue during 2008 in the Mackenzie Delta and the Orphan Basin.

Productionstart-up occurred in June 2006 atIn exploration activities, the Area C project in the eastern portion of the Captain Field. The project included the installation of subsea infrastructure and the drilling of two new subsea wells. Maximum total production of 14,000 barrels of crude oil per day was achieved in September 2006. Initial proved undeveloped reserves were booked in 2004 and were reclassified as proved developed in 2006 following completion of development drilling. Further additions to proved reserves are expected to occur as the field matures.

f)Equity Affiliate Operations
Angola: In addition to the exploration and producing activities in Angola, Chevron participates in the Angola LNG project, for which the company and partners made a final investment decision at the end of 2007. The LNG plant will be designed with a capacity to process 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day and will provide a commercial option for Angola’s natural gas resources. Chevron has a 36 percent interest in the Angola LNG affiliate. Construction began in early 2008 on the 5.2 million-metric-ton-per-year onshore LNG plant that is located in the northern part of the country. Plantstart-up is expected in 2012. At the end of 2007, the company made an initial booking of proved natural gas reserves for the producing operations associated with this LNG project. 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 is developing the Tengiz and Korolev crude oilcrude-oil fields located in western Kazakhstan under a40-year concession that expires in 2033. Chevron’s share of daily net oil-equivalent production in 20062007 from these fields averaged 135,000176,000 barrels per day, composed of 144,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 193 million cubic feet of natural gas.
 
TCO is undergoing a significant expansion composed of two integrated projects referred to as the Second Generation Plant (SGP) and Sour Gas Injection (SGI). At a total combined cost of approximately $6$7.2 billion, these projects are designed to increase TCO’s crude oilcrude-oil production capacity from 300,000to 540,000 barrels per day to between 460,000 and 550,000 barrels per day induring the second half of 2008. The actual production level within the estimated range is dependent partially on the effects of the SGI, which are discussed below. Thestart-up of the SGP/SGI project is expected in 2007.
 
SGP involves the construction of a large processing train for treating crude oil and the associated sour gas (i.e., high in sulfur content). The SGP design is based on the same conventional technology employed in the existing processing trains. Proved undeveloped reserves associated with SGP were recognized in 2001. During 2006, 55 wellsWells were drilled, deepenedand/or completed since 2002 in the Tengiz and Korolev reservoirs to generateproduce volumes required for the new SGP train, and reservestrain. 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 of the sour gas separated from the crude oilcrude-oil production at the SGP processing train and reinjecting it into the Tengiz reservoir. Chevron expects that SGI will have two key effects. First, SGI will reduce the sour gas processing capacity required at SGP, thereby increasing liquid production capacity and lowering the quantities of sulfur and gas that would otherwise be generated. Second, itSGI is expected that over time SGI willto increase production efficiency and recoverable volumes as the injected gas maintains higher reservoir pressure and displaces oil toward producing wells. Between 2007 and 2008, theThe company anticipates recognizing additional proved reserves associated with the SGI expansion.expansion in late 2008. The primary SGI risks include uncertainties about compressor performance associated with injecting high-pressure sour gas and subsurface responses to injection.

Initial production from the first phase of the SGI/SGP expansion projects occurred in late 2007. This first phase increased production capacity by 90,000 barrels per day, to approximately 400,000, in January 2008.
 
EssentiallyAs of early 2008, essentially all of TCO’s production iswas being exported through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) pipeline that runs from Tengiz in Kazakhstan to tanker loading facilities at Novorossiysk on the Russian coast of the Black Sea. Also in early 2008, CPC iswas seeking stockholder approval for an expansion to accommodate increased TCO volumes beginning in 2009. During 2006, TCO continued the construction of expanded rail carExpanded rail-car loading and rail exportrail-export facilities, which is expecteddesigned to be completed by third quartertransport most of the incremental SGI/SGP production prior to the CPC expansion, started operation during 2007.

Venezuela: Chevron has a 30 percent interest in the Hamaca heavy oil production and upgrading project located in Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt.Belt, a 39 percent interest in the Petroboscan affiliate that operates the Boscan Field, and a 25 percent interest in the Petroindependiente affiliate that operates the LL-652 Field. The company’s average net oil-equivalent production during 2007 from these affiliates was 72,000 barrels per day, composed of 68,000 barrels of crude oil upgrading began in late 2004. In 2005, the facility reachedand 27 million cubic feet of natural gas.
The Hamaca project has a total design capacity offor 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 2006, daily net production averaged 36,000 barrels of liquids and 8 million cubic feet of natural gas. In late February 2007, the Presidentpresident of Venezuela issued a decree announcing the government’s intention for the state-owned oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A.,PDVSA to increase its ownership later this year 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 impact on Chevron from such an action is uncertain but is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.new entity, Petropiar, commenced activities in January 2008.
 
The company operated the onshore Boscan Field for 10 years under an operating service agreement with Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. In October 2006, the contractis 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 into a joint stock company, Petroboscan,to injectors in which Chevron is a 39 percent owner. At the same time, operatorship was transferred from Chevron2007, and four new injectors are planned to Petroboscan. No proved reserves had been recognized under the operating service agreement, but proved reserves associated with this new20-year production contract were recordedbe drilled in 2006. Under the operating service agreement, Boscan had average net production of 109,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day for the first nine months of 2006.

Average crude oil distillation capacity utilization during 20062007 was 9086 percent, compared with 8690 percent in 2005. In general, this increase2006. This decrease generally resulted from less plannedunplanned downtime to repair damage resulting from fires in the crude units at the Richmond and Pascagoula refineries during 2007. This impact was partially offset by an improvement in capacity utilization at the Pembroke, U.K., refinery, which had unplanned downtime in 2006, due partly2006. The crude unit at the Pascagoula Refinery was back in service in February 2008. Despite the outage at Pascagoula, the company was able to downtimemaintain uninterrupted product supplies to customers through the use of other feedstocks in 2005 that was attributable to hurricanes inits gasoline-producing facilities at the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. No downtime was caused by hurricanes in 2006.refinery. At the U.S. fuel refineries, crude oil distillation capacity utilization averaged 85 percent in 2007, compared with 99 percent in 2006, compared with 90 percent in 2005, and cracking and coking capacity utilization averaged 78 percent and 86 percent in 2007 and 76 percent in 2006, and 2005, respectively.

Environmental Protection
 
Virtually all aspects of the company’s businesses are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and to similar laws and regulations in other countries. These regulatory requirements continue to change and increase in both number and complexity and to govern not only the manner in which the company conducts its operations, but also the products it sells. Chevron expects more environmental-relatedenvironment-related regulations in the countries where it has operations. Most of the costs of complying with the many laws and regulations pertaining to its operations are embedded in the normal costs of conducting business.
 
In 2006,2007, the company’s U.S. capitalized environmental expenditures were $385approximately $350 million, representing approximately 75 percent of the company’s total consolidated U.S. capital and exploratory expenditures. These environmental expenditures include capital outlays to retrofit existing facilities as well as those associated with new facilities. The expenditures are predominantly in the upstream and downstream segments and relate mostly to air- and water-quality projects and activities at the company’s refineries, oil and gas producing facilities, and marketing facilities. For 2007,2008, the company estimates U.S. capital expenditures for environmental control facilities will be approximately $350$580 million. The future annual capital costs of fulfilling this commitment are uncertain and will be governed by several factors, including future changes to regulatory requirements.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors
 
Chevron is a major fully integrated petroleum company with a diversified business portfolio, a strong balance sheet, and a history of generating sufficient cash to fund capital and exploratory expenditures and to pay dividends. 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 oilcrude-oil prices. Except in the ordinary course of running an integrated petroleum business, Chevron does not seek to hedge its exposure to price changes. A significant, persistent decline in crude oilcrude-oil prices may have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and its capital and exploratory expenditure plans.
 
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 in promising areas;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 by-products,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, 2006, 242007, 26 percent of the company’s 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. Approximately 25Twenty-eight percent of the company’s net proved reserves, including affiliates, were located in OPEC countries at December 31, 2006. In December 2006, OPEC admitted Angola as a new member effective January 1, 2007. Oil-equivalent reserves at the end of 2006 in Angola represented 5 percent of the company’s total.

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 political attention to issues concerning the existence and extent of climate change, and the role of human activity in it, will continue, with the potential for further regulation that affects the company’s operations. Although uncertain, these developments could increase costs or reduce


31


the demand for the products the company sells. 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 of greenhouse gases. Likewise, emissions arise from midstream 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 these emissions.greenhouse gas emissions that may be regulated.
 
International agreements, domestic legislation and regulatory measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions are currently in various phases of discussion or implementation. These include 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. It is not known at this time whether orThe extent to what extentwhich the state and local agencies’ regulations will affect the company’s California operations.operations was not known as of early 2008.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings
 
Item 3.    Legal ProceedingsIn January 2008, Chevron agreed to pay the state of New York a $162,500 civil penalty in connection with a February 2006 oil spill at the company’s facility in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.
 
Chevron’s U.S. refineries are implementing a consent decree with the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and four state air agencies to resolve claims about Chevron’s past application of “New Source Review” permitting programs under the Clean Air Act. The consent decree provides that Chevron will pay stipulated penalties for certain violations of the consent decree, if demand is made by the EPA. In July 2006, Chevron’s refinery in Pascagoula, Mississippi exceeded its emission limit under the consent decree for particulate matter. The exceedance was reported at the time and the possibility of a penalty was discussed. In January 2007, the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and the EPA issued a notice of violation and a request for payment of $210,000 in stipulated penalties for the July 2006 particulate matter exceedance. The company, the EPA and the MDEQ are in negotiation with regard to the nature and amount of the penalty demand.

2007.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOKBusiness Environment and Outlook

Chevron’s currentChevron 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 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. Earnings for the company in any period may also be influenced by events or transactions that are infrequent and/or unusual in nature.
     Chevron and the oil and gas industry at large are currently experiencingcontinue to experience an increase in certain costs that exceeds the general trend of inflation in many areas of the world. This increase in costs is affecting the company’s

operating expenses for all business segments and capital expenditures, particularly for the upstream business. 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. Changes in economic, legal or political circumstances can have significant effects on the profitability of a project over its expected life. In the current environment of higher commodity prices, certain governments have sought to renegotiate contracts or impose additional costs on the company. Other 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. In late February 2007, the President of Venezuela issued a decree announcing the government’s intention for the state-owned oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A., to increase its ownership later this year in all Orinoco Heavy Oil Associations, including Chevron’s 30 percent-owned Hamaca project, to a minimum of 60 percent. The impact on Chevron from such an action is uncertain but is not expected to have a material effect on the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.
     The company also continually evaluates opportunities to dispose of assets that are not keyexpected to providingprovide sufficient long-term value, or to acquire assets or operations complementary to its asset base to help augment the company’s growth. DuringAsset sales during 2007 included the first quarter 2007, the company authorized the sale of itscompany’s 31 percent ownership interest in a refinery and related assets in the Nerefco RefineryNetherlands; fuels marketing businesses in Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Uruguay; and the associated TEAM Terminalinvestment in the Netherlands. The transaction is subject to signingcommon stock of the sales agreement and obtaining necessary regulatory approvals. The company expects to record a gain upon close of the sale. In early 2007, the company was also in discussions regarding the possible sale of its fuels marketing operations in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. Neither the refining nor marketing assets were classified as held-for-sale as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the held-for-sale criteria of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 144,Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.Dynegy Inc. Other asset dispositions and restructurings may occur in future periods and could result in significant gains or losses.
     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 and natural gas prices are subject to external factors over which the company has no control, including product demand connected with global economic conditions, industry inventory levels, 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.



FS-2


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 product-material- and service-providers, which can be affected by the volatility of the industry’s own supply and demand conditions for such productsmaterials and services. The oil and gas industry worldwide has experienced significant price increases for these items duringsince 2005, and 2006, and an upward trend in pricesfuture price increases may continue into 2007.to exceed the general level of inflation. Capital and exploratory expenditures and operating expenses also can be affected by uninsured damages to production facilities caused by severe weather or civil unrest.

     Industry price levels for crude oil generally increased in the first half of 2006 and declined in the second half. Prices at the end of 2006 were slightly lower than at the beginning of the year.during 2007. The spot price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, a benchmark crude oil, averaged $66$72 per barrel in 2006, an increase of2007, up approximately $9$6 per barrel from the 20052006 average price. The rise in crude oil prices between years reflected, among other things,was attributed primarily to increasing demand in growing economies, the heightened level of geopolitical uncertainty in some areas of the world and supply concerns in other key producing regions. For early 2007 into late February,As of mid-February 2008, the WTI spot price averagedwas about $56$93 per barrel.
     As was the case in 2005,2006, a wide differential in prices existed in 20062007 between high-quality light-sweet(i.e., high-gravity, low sulfur) crude oils (such as the U.S. benchmark WTI)

and those of lower quality (i.e., low-gravity, heavier types of crude.crude). The price for the heavier crudes has been dampened because of ample supply and 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 light-sweet crude oil has remained high, as the demand for light products, which can be more easily manufactured by refineries from light-sweethigh-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 in certain fields in Angola, China and the United Kingdom North Sea. (Refer to page FS-11FS-l0 for the company’s average U.S. and international crude oil prices.)
     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 regional supply and demand conditions.conditions in those markets. In the United States during 2006,2007, benchmark prices at Henry Hub averaged about $6.50$7 per thousand cubic feet (MCF), compared with about $8$6.50 in 2005. For early 2007 into late February, prices averaged2006. As of mid-February 2008, the Henry Hub price was about $7$8 per MCF. 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. NaturalU.S. natural gas prices in the United States are also typically higher during the winter period when demand for heating is greatest.
     In contrast to the United States, certainCertain 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-11FS-l0 for the company’s average natural gas prices for the United StatesU.S. and international regions.) Additionally, excess supplyexcess-supply conditions that exist in certain parts of the world cannot easily serve to mitigate the relatively high-pricehigh-

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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


investments 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).
     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 2006,2007, including volumes produced from oil sands, and production under an operating service agreement, averaged 2.672.62 million barrels per day, or 6 percent higher thana decline of about 48,000 barrels per day from 2006, due mainly to the effect of a conversion of operating service agreements in Venezuela to joint-stock companies. (Refer to the table “Selected Operating Data” on page FS-l0 for a listing of production in 2005. The increase between periods was largely due to volumes associated withfor each of the acquisition of Unocal in August 2005.three years ending December 31, 2007.) The company estimates that oil-equivalent production in 20072008 will average approximately 2.62.65 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, anddelays in project start-ups, weather conditions that may shut in production, disruptions that could be caused by severe weather, local civil unrest, and changing geopolitics.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 crude oil and natural gas production.
     Approximately 2428 percent of the company’s net oil-equivalent production in 20062007 occurred in the OPEC-member countries of Angola, Indonesia, Nigeria and Venezuela and in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In December 2006, OPEC admitted Angola as a new member effective January 1, 2007. Oil-equivalent production for 2006 in Angola represented 6 percent of the company’s total. In October 2006, OPEC announced its decision to reduce OPEC-member production quotas by 1.2 million barrels of crude oil per day, or 4.4 percent, from a production level of 27.5 million barrels, effective
November 1, 2006. In December 2006, OPEC announced an additional quota reduction of 500,000 barrels of crude oil per day, effective February 1, 2007. OPEC quotas did not significantly affect Chevron’s production level in 2006. 2007.
The impact of OPEC quotas on the company’s production in 20072008 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 contractual structures), joint-stock companies), with Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A., (PDVSA) as majority shareholder.

     Also in the Gulf of Mexico, the company announced in October its decision to develop the Great White, Tobago and Silvertip fields via a common producing hub, the Perdido Regional Host,

     

which will have a processing capacity of 130,000 barrels of oil-equivalent per day. First production from the 38 percent-owned Perdido Regional Host is anticipated by 2010. The company’s ownership interests in the fields are Great White – 33 percent, Tobago – 58 percent and Silvertip – 60 percent.
Angola  In June 2006, the company produced the first crude oil from the offshore Lobito field, located in Block 14. Lobito is part of the 31 percent-owned and operated Benguela Belize–Lobito Tomboco (BBLT) development project. As fields and wells are added over the next two years, BBLT’s maximum production is expected to reach approximately 200,000 barrels of oil per day. Also in Block 14, the company produced first crude oil in June 2006

from the Landana North reservoir in the 31 percent-owned and operated Tombua-Landana development area. This initial production is tied back to the nearby BBLT production facilities. Tombua-Landana is the company’s third deepwater development offshore Angola. Maximum production from the completed Tombua-Landana development is estimated at 100,000 barrels per day by 2010.

     U.S. upstream 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, expenseexploration and expenses for depreciation and exploration.expenses. Included in the operating expense increases were costs associated with the carryover effects of hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in 2005.
     Income of $4.2 billion in 2005 was $230 million higher than 2004. The 2004 amount included gains of approxi-

mately $400 million from asset sales. Higher prices for crude oil and natural gas in 2005 and five months of earnings from the former Unocal operations contributed approximately $2 billion to the increase between periods. Approximately 90 percent of this amount related to the effects of higher prices on heritage-Chevron production. These benefits were substantially offset by the adverse effects of lower production, higher operating expenses and higher depreciation expense associated with the heritage Chevron properties.
The company’s average realization for crude oil and natural gas liquids in 20062007 was $56.66$63.16 per barrel, compared with $56.66 in 2006 and $46.97 in 2005 and $34.12 in 2004.2005. The average natural gas realization was $6.29$6.12 per thousand cubic feet in 2006,2007, compared with $6.29 and $7.43 in 2006 and $5.51 in 2005, and 2004, respectively.

     International upstream income of $10.3 billion in 2007 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 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 in 2006 increased $1.3 billion from 2005. Earnings in 2006 benefited approximately $3.0$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.
     Income in 2005 was approximately $7.5 billion, compared with $5.8 billion in 2004, which included gains of approximately $850 million from property sales. Higher prices for crude oil and natural gas in 2005 and five months of earnings from the former Unocal operations increased income approximately $2.9 billion between periods. About 80 percent of this benefit arose from the effects of higher prices on heritage-Chevron production. Partially offsetting these benefits were higher expenses between periods for certain income tax items, including the absence of a $200 million benefit in 2004 relating to changes in income tax laws. Foreign currency effects increased income $14 million in 2005 but reduced income $129 million in 2004.
The company’s average realization for crude oil and natural gas liquids in 20062007 was $57.65$65.01 per barrel, compared with $57.65 in 2006 and $47.59 in 2005 and $34.17 in 2004.2005. The average natural gas realization was $3.73$3.90 per thousand cubic feet in 2006,2007, compared with $3.73 and $3.19 in 2006 and $2.68 in 2005, and 2004, respectively.
     Net oil-equivalent production of 1.91.88 million barrels per day in 2007 declined about 2 percent from 2006 including about 100,000 net barrels per dayand increased 5 percent from 2005. The volumes for each year included production from oil sands in Canada and production under an operating service agreement in Venezuela prior tountil its conversion to a joint stockjoint-stock company in October 2006. The decline between 2006 and 2007 was associated with the impact of this contract conversion in Venezuela and the price effects on production volumes calculated under production-sharing agreements. Partially offsetting the decline was increased about 6 percentproduction in Bangladesh, Angola and Azerbaijan. The increase from 2005 and 13 percentwas due to that year having included only five months of production from 2004. This trend was largely the result of the effects of theformer Unocal acquisition in August 2005, partially offset by the effect of normal field declines and property sales in 2004.properties.

The decline in 2007 from 2006 was associated mainly with weaker refined-product margins due to the effects of higher crude oil prices and the negative impacts of higher planned and unplanned downtime on refinery production volumes at the company’s three major refineries. Operating expenses were also higher in 2007. The improvement in 2006 earnings from 2005 and approximately $700 million from 2004.

Refinery crude inputs were higher in 2006 than in the other comparative periodsat refining, marketing and also benefited earnings. However, earnings declined in 2005 from

a year earlier due mainly to increased downtime at the company’s refineries, including the shutdown ofpipeline operations at Pascagoula, Mississippi, for more than a month due tothat was caused by hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. The company’s marketing and pipeline operations along the Gulf Coast were also disrupted for an extended period due to the hurricanes. Fuel costs were also higher in 2005 than in 2004.

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 fromcompared with 2005 was associated mainly with the

     

benefit of higher-refined producthigher refined-product sales margins in the Asia-Pacific area and Canada and improved results from crude-oil and refined-product trading activities. The decrease in earnings in 2005 from 2004 was due mainly to lower sales volumes; higher costs for fuel and transportation; expenses associated with a fire at a 40 percent-owned, nonoperated terminal in the United Kingdom; and tax adjustments in various countries. These items more than offset an improvement in average refined-product margins between periods. Foreign currency effects improved income by $98 million and $7 million in 2006 and 2004, respectively, but reduced income by $24 million in 2005.

Excluding the accounting change, for buy/sell contracts, sales were down 1 percent between 2005 and 2006. Refined-product sales volume of 2.3 million barrels per day in 2005 weredecreased about 4 percent lower than in 2004, primarily the result of lower gasoline trading activity and lower fuel oil sales.5 percent from 2006 and 2005, respectively.

     The chemicals segment includes the company’s Oronite subsidiary and the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). In 2007, earnings were $396 million, compared with $539 million and $298 million in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Between 2006 and 2007, the benefit of improved margins on sales of lubricants and fuel additives by Oronite was more than offset by the effect of lower margins on the sale of commodity chemicals by CPChem. In 2006, earnings of $539 million increased about $200$240 million from both 2005 and 2004. Margins in 2006due to higher margins for commodity chemicals at CPChem and for fuel and lubricant additives at Oronite were higher than in 2005 and 2004. The earnings decline from 2004 to 2005 was mainly attributable to plant outages and expenses in the Gulf of Mexico region due to hurricanes, which affected both Oronite and CPChem.

INFORMATION RELATED TO INVESTMENT IN
DYNEGY INC.Liquidity and Capital Resources

At year-end 2006, Chevron owned a 19 percent equity interest in the common stock of Dynegy Inc., a provider of electricity to markets and customers throughout the United States.
Investment in Dynegy Common Stock   At December 31, 2006, the carrying value of the company’s investment in Dynegy common stock was approximately $250 million. This amount was about $180 million below the company’s proportionate interest in Dynegy’s underlying net assets. This difference is primarily the result of write-downs of the investment in 2002 for declines in the market value of the common shares below the company’s carrying value that were deemed to be other than temporary. The difference had been assigned to the extent practicable to specific Dynegy assets and liabilities, based upon the company’s analysis of the various factors associated with the decline in value of the Dynegy shares. The company’s equity share of Dynegy’s reported earnings is adjusted quarterly when appropriate to recognize a portion of the difference between these allocated values and Dynegy’s historical book values. The market value of the company’s investment in Dynegy’s common stock at December 31, 2006, was approximately $700 million.
Investments in Dynegy Preferred Stock   In May 2006, the company’s investment in Dynegy Series C preferred stock was redeemed at its face value of $400 million. Upon redemption of the preferred stock, the company recorded a before-tax gain of $130 million ($87 million after tax).
Dynegy Proposed Business Combination with LS Power Group   Dynegy and LS Power Group, a privately held power plant investor, developer and manager, announced in September 2006 that the companies had executed a definitive agreement to combine Dynegy’s assets and operations with LS Power Group’s power-generation portfolio and for Dynegy to acquire a 50 percent ownership interest in a development joint venture with LS Power. Upon close of the transaction, Chevron will receive the same number of shares of the new company’s Class A common stock that it currently holds in Dynegy. Chevron’s ownership interest in the combined company will be approximately 11 percent. The transaction is subject to specified conditions, including the affirmative vote of two-thirds of Dynegy’s common shareholders and the receipt of regulatory approvals.

     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 2006,2007, the company had paid approximately $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 relating to Equilon indemnities must be asserted either as early as February 2007 or no later than February 2009 and claims relating to Motivafor Equilon indemnities must be asserted either as early as February 2007 orand no later than February 2012.2012 for Motiva indemnities.

No material change in market risk occurred between 2006 and 2007 for the financial and derivative instruments discussed below. The hypothetical variances used in this section were selected for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the company’s estimation of market changes. The actual impact of future market changes could differ materially due to factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part 1, Item 1A, of the company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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: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 2006.2007.

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 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.
     EachEffective 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 and tested its VaR model during 2007.
     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 potential portfolio’s values.
     The VaR model utilizes an exponentially-weighted moving average for computing historical volatilities and correlations, a 95 percent confidence level, and 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 95 percent/one-day VaR for each of the company’s primary risk exposures in the area of commodity derivative instruments at December 31, 2007:

Crude Oil $(113)  $4

     The same hypothetical decrease in the 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.
     The change in the amounts between years in the table above for crude oil and refined products is associated with an increase in commodity prices, volumes hedged and the use of longer-term contracts.
     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 20062007 would be a reduction in the fair value of the foreign exchange contracts of approximately $40$75 million. The effect would be the opposite for a hypothetical 10 percent decrease in the year-end value of the U.S. dollar.dollar at year-end 2007.
     Interest Rates  The company enters into interest rate swaps 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, whereas interesthedges. Interest rate swaps related to a portion of the company’s floating-rate debt are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income.

At year-end 2006,2007, the company had no interest-rate swaps on floating-rate debt. At year-end 2007, the weighted average maturity of “receive fixed” interest rate swaps was approximatelyless than one year. There were no “receive floating” swaps outstanding at year end. A hypothetical increase or decrease of 10 basis points in fixed interest rates would reducehave ade minimisimpact on the fair value of the “receive fixed” swaps by approximately $2 million.
     For the financial and derivative instruments discussed above, there was not a material change in market risk between 2006 and 2005.
     The hypothetical variances used in this section were selected for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the company’s estimation of market changes. The actual impact of future market changes could differ materially due to factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, of the company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.swaps.

LITIGATION AND OTHER CONTINGENCIESLitigation and Other Contingencies

MTBE  Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive. ChevronThe company is a party to approximately 7588 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 seepageseepages 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.
Resolution of these actionsremaining 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 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 thesepending lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable, but could be material to net income in any one period. The company currently does not useno longer uses MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.

     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.

     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.

     Chevron’s environmental reserve as of December 31, 2006, was $1,441 million.     Included in thisthe $1,539 million year-end 2007 reserve balance were remediation activities of 242240 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 20062007 was $122$123 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 20062007 environmental reserves balance of $1,319$1,416 million, $834$864 million related to approximately 2,2502,000 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 $485$552 million was associated with various sites in the international downstream ($117146 million), upstream ($252267 million), chemicals ($61105 million) and other ($5534 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 20062007 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.

long-lived assets and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The liability balance of approximately $5.8$8.3 billion for asset retirement obligations at year-end 20062007 related primarily to upstream and mining properties. Refer to Note 24 on page FS-58 for a discussion of the company’s asset retirement obligations.

     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 24,23, beginning on page FS-58,FS-57, related to FAS 143 and the company’s adoption in 2005 of FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement ObligationsAn Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143(FIN (FIN 47), and the discussion of “Environmental Matters” on page FS-19.FS-18.
     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 15 beginning on page FS-43 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.

     Global Operations   Chevron and its affiliates conduct business activities in approximately 180 countries. Besides the United States, the company and its affiliates have significant operations 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 Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Republic of the Congo, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
     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, including the United States. As has occurred in the past, actions could be taken by governments to increase public ownership of the company’s partially or wholly owned businesses or assets or to impose additional taxes or royalties on the company’s operations or both.

     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.
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, 2006,2007, the company had approximately $1.2$1.7 billion of suspended exploratory wells included in properties, plant and equipment, an increase of $130$421 million from 20052006 and an increase of $568$551 million from 2004. More than $300 million of suspended wells were added at the time of the Unocal acquisition in August 2005.
     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 $1.2$1.7 billion of suspended wells at year-end 20062007 is uncertain pending future activities, including normal project evaluation and additional drilling.
     Refer to Note 20,19, beginning on page FS-47, for additional discussion of suspended wells.

     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



FS-18


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,customers; trading partners,partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies, governments, contractors, insurers,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 MATTERSEnvironmental 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 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 20062007 at approximately $2.2$2.7 billion for its consolidated companies. Included in these expenditures were approximately $870$900 million of environmental capital expenditures and $1.3$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 2007,2008, total worldwide environmental capital expenditures are estimated at $1.2$1.9 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 exist-

ingexisting 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 ASSUMPTIONSCritical 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:
 1. the nature of the estimates or assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and
 2. the impact of the estimates and assumptions on the company’s financial condition or operating performance is material.



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-68,FS-66, for the changes in these estimates for the three years ending December 31, 2006,2007, and to Table VII, “Changes in the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows From Proved Reserves” on page FS-76FS-74 for estimates of proved-reserve values for each of the three years ending December 31, 2004 through 2006,2007, 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-21,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 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 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 employee 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 21,20, beginning on page FS-48, includes information on the funded status of the company’s pension and OPEB
plans at the end of 20062007 and 2005,2006, the components of pension and OPEB expense for the three years ending December 31, 2006,2007, and the underlying assumptions for those periods. The note also presents the incremental impact of recording the funded status of each of the company’s pension and OPEB plans at year-end 2006 under the provisions of FASB Statement No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R(FAS 158).
     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. With the adoption of FAS 158, theThe year-end 2007 and 2006 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.”

     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 7067 percent of the company’s pension plan assets, has remained at 7.8 percent since 2002. For the 10 years ending December 31, 2006,2007, actual asset returns averaged 9.78.7 percent for this plan.
     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 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, 2006,2007, the company selected a 5.86.3 percent discount rate for the major U.S. pension and postretirement plans. This rate was selected based on Moody’s Aa Corporate Bond Index and a cash flow analysis that matched estimated future benefit payments to the Citigroup Pension Discount Yield Curve as of year-end 2006.2007. The discount rates at the end of 2006 and 2005 and 2004 were 5.55.8 percent and 5.85.5 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 20062007 was approximately $585$620 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 20062007 by approximately $60 $70

million. A 1 percent increase in the discount rate for this same plan, which accounted for about 60 percent of the companywide pension obligation, would have reduced total pension plan expense for 20062007 by approximately $160$155 million.



FS-20


     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, 2006,2007, for underfunded plans was approximately $1.7 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 $275$250 million, which would have changedincreased the plan’s fundedover-funded status from underfundedapproximately $160 million to overfunded, resulting in a pension asset of about $250$410 million. Other plans would be less underfunded 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 2006,2007, the company’s pension plan contributions were approximately $450$317 million (approximately $225(including $78 million to the U.S. plans). In 2007,2008, the company estimates contributions will be approximately $500 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 20062007 was about $230$233 million and the total liability, which reflected the underfunded status of the plans at the end of 2006,2007, was $3.3$2.9 billion.
     As an indication of discount rate sensitivity to the determination of OPEB expense in 2006,2007, a 1 percent increase in the discount rate for the company’s primary U.S. OPEB plan, which accounted for about 75 percent of the company-widecompanywide OPEB expense, would have decreased OPEB expense by approximately $25$20 million. A 0.25 percent increase in the discount rate for the same plan, which accounted for about 9087 percent of the companywide OPEB liabilities, would have decreased total OPEB liabilities at the end of 20062007 by approximately $70$60 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-eligiblepre-Medicare-eligible employees retiring on or after January 1, 2005. The cap was effective as of January 1, 2005, for pre–Medicare-eligiblepre-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 98 percent in 20072008 and gradually drop to 5 percent for 20112014 and beyond. As an indication of the health care cost-trend rate sensitivity to the determination of
OPEB expense in 2006,2007, a 1 percent increase in the rates for the main U.S. postretirement medicalOPEB plan, which accounted for about 9087 percent of the companywide OPEB obligations,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 21,20, beginning on page FS-48, for information on the $2.6$3.3 billion of before-tax actuarial losses recorded by the company as of December 31, 2006;2007; a description of the method used to amortize those costs; and an estimate of the costs to be recognized in expense during 2007.2008.

     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 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, 2006.2007. 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

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



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 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 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 CombinationsPurchase-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-valuefair 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.
     Goodwill  Goodwill acquired inresulting 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. The goodwill arising from the Unocal acquisition is described in more detail in Note 2, beginning on page FS-34.
     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 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 15 beginning on page FS-43. 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, 2006.2007.
     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 STANDARDSNew Accounting Standards

EITF Issue No. 04-6, Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred During Production in the Mining Industry (Issue 04-6)In March 2005, the FASB ratified the earlier Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus on Issue 04-6, which was adopted by the company on January 1, 2006. Stripping costs are costs of removing overburden and other waste materials to access mineral deposits. The consensus calls for stripping costs incurred once a mine goes into production to be treated as variable production costs that should be considered a component of mineral inventory cost subject to Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43,Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins. Adoption of this accounting for the company’s coal, oil sands and other mining operations resulted in a $19 million reduction of retained earnings as of January 1, 2006.
FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2007. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for income tax benefits that are uncertain in nature. Under FIN 48, a company will recognize a tax benefit in the financial statements for an uncertain tax position only if management’s assessment is that its position is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50 percent likelihood) to be upheld on audit based only on the technical merits of the tax position. This accounting interpretation also provides guidance on measurement methodology, derecognition thresholds, financial statement classification and disclosures, interest and penalties recogni-



FS-22


tion, and accounting for the cumulative-effect adjustment. The new interpretation is intended to provide better financial statement comparability among companies.

     Required annual disclosures include a tabular reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the period; the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate; the amounts of interest and penalties recognized in the financial statements; any expected significant impacts from unrecognized tax benefits on the financial statements over the subsequent 12-month reporting period; and a description of the tax years remaining to be examined in major tax jurisdictions.
     As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the company expects to recognize an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest and penalties as of January 1, 2007. In connection with this increase in liability, the company estimates retained earnings at the beginning of 2007 will be reduced by $250 million or less. The amount of the liability and impact on retained earnings will depend in part on clarification expected to be issued by the FASB related to the criteria for determining the date of ultimate settlement with a tax authority.
FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157)In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS 157, which will becomebecame 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 would applyapplies to assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value under other accounting standards. The impact, if any, to the company from the adoptionimplementation of FAS 157 in 2008 will dependdid 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

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 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 value.values. The Statement 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 requires recognition of contingent arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values, with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in income.
     FASB Statement No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans –160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of FASB StatementsARB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)51 (FAS 158)160)In September 2006, the  The FASB issued FAS 158,160 in December 2007, which was adopted bywill become effective for the company January 1, 2009, with retroactive adoption of the Statement’s presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. This standard will require ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be presented within the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial position but separate from the parent’s equity. It will also require the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on December 31, 2006. Referthe face of the consolidated income statement. Certain changes in a parent’s ownership interest are to Note 21, beginning on page FS-48,be accounted for additional information.

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 of FAS 160 will significantly change the presentation of its consolidated income statement or consolidated balance sheet.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMReport of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation:

We have completed integrated audits of Chevron Corporation’s consolidated financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are presented below.

     CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULE

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on management’s assessment and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
     A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
     Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTE 1.Note 1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESSummary of Significant Accounting Policies
General  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.
     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. Deferred income taxes are provided for these gains and losses.

     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 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 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 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 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 1.Note 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESSummary 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 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 20,19, beginning on page FS-47, 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
obligation associated with the retirement of a long-lived

asset and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Refer also to Note 24,23, beginning on page FS-58,FS-57, 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 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 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 acquired inresulting 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. The goodwill arising from the Unocal acquisition is described in more detail in Note 2, beginning on page FS-34.

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

     Liabilities related to future remediation costs are recorded when environmental assessments or cleanups or both are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For the company’s U.S. and Canadian marketing facilities, the accrual is based in part on the probability that a future remediation commitment will be required. For crude oil, natural gas and mineral producing properties, a liability for an asset retire-

ment

a liability for an asset retirement obligation is made, following FAS 143. Refer to Note 24,23, beginning on page FS-58,FS-57, 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 other 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 14,13, on page FS-43,FS-42, for a discussion of the accounting for buy/sell arrangements.

Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation  Effective July 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of FASB 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 (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees(APB 25), and related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by FASB Statement No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation(FAS 123).

     Refer to Note 22,21, beginning on page FS-53, for a description of the company’s share-based compensation plans,

information related to awards granted under those plans and additional information on the company’s adoption of FAS 123R.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of FAS 123123R to stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units and restricted stock units for periods prior to adoption of FAS 123R and the actual effect on 2005 net income and earnings per share for periods after adoption of FAS 123R.full year 2005.

ACQUISITION OF UNOCAL CORPORATIONAcquisition of Unocal Corporation
In August 2005, the company acquired Unocal Corporation (Unocal), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Unocal’s principal upstream operations were in North America and Asia, including the Caspian region. Also located in Asia were Unocal’s geothermal energy and electrical power businesses. Other activities included ownership interests in proprietary and common carrier pipelines, natural gas storage facilities and mining operations.
The aggregate purchase price of Unocal was approximately $17,288. A third-party appraisal firm was engaged to assist the company in the process of determining the fair values of Unocal’s tangible and intangible assets. The final purchase-price allocation to the assets and liabilities acquired was completed as of June 30, 2006.
     The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the results of operations as if the acquisition of Unocal had occurred at the beginning of 2005:

     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 $94$96 and $20$94 for excess income tax benefits associated with stock options exercised during 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively. These amounts are offset by “Net purchases of treasury shares.”
     The 2007 “Net purchases of other short-term investments” consist of $799 in restricted cash associated with capital-investment projects at the company’s Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery and Angola liquefied natural gas project that was invested in short-term marketable securities and reclassified from cash equivalents to a long-term deferred asset on 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 $7,036, $5,033 and $3,029 in 2007, 2006 and $2,122 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

FINANCIAL AND DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTSFinancial 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.

Commodity Derivative InstrumentsChevron 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: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 company uses International Swaps Dealersand 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 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 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.”

Foreign CurrencyThe 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.



FS-36





Note 7Financial 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 RatesThe company enters into interest rate swaps 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, whereas interest rate swaps related to a portion of the company’s floating-rate debt are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet with resulting gains and losses reflected in income.hedges.

     Fair values of the interest rate swaps are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Accounts and notes receivable” or “Accounts payable,” with gains and losses reported directly in income as part of “Interest and debt expense.payable.

Fair ValueFair values are derived either 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 $5,131$2,132 and $7,424$5,131 had estimated fair values of $5,621$2,325 and $7,945$5,621 at December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively.
     The company holds cash equivalents and marketable securities in U.S. and non-U.S. portfolios. Eurodollar bonds, floating-rate notes, time deposits and commercial paper are the primary instruments held. Cash equivalents and marketable securities had carrying/fair values of $9,200$5,427 and $8,995$9,200 at December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively. Of these balances, $8,247$4,695 and $7,894$8,247 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 1.4 years.
     Forone year. At December 31, 2007, restricted cash with a carrying/fair value of $799 that is related to capital-investment projects at the financialcompany’s Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery and derivative instruments discussed above, thereAngola liquefied natural gas project was notreclassified from cash equivalents to a material changelong-term deferred asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This restricted cash was invested in market risk from that presented in 2005.short-term marketable securities.
     Fair values of other financial and derivative instruments at the end of 20062007 and 20052006 were not material.

Concentrations of Credit RiskThe 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 finan-

cialfinancial 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.

OPERATING SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC DATAOperating 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 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.

     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 from continuing operationsby major operating area is presented in the following table:

Segment Sales and Other Operating RevenuesOperating segment sales and other operating revenues, including internal transfers, for the years 2007, 2006 2005 and 20042005 are presented in the following table. Products are transferred between operating segments at internal product values that approximate market prices.

     Revenues for the upstream segment are derived primarily from the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas, as well as the sale of third-party production of natural gas. Revenues for the downstream segment are derived from the refining and marketing of petroleum products, such as gasoline, jet fuel, gas oils, kerosene, lubricants, residual fuel oils and other products derived from crude oil. This segment also generates revenues from the transportation and trading of crude oil and refined products. Revenues for the chemicals segment are derived primarily from the manufacture and sale of additives for lubricants and fuel. “All Other” activities include revenues from mining operations of coal and other minerals, power generation businesses, insurance operations, real estate activities, and technology companies.
     Other than the United States, no single country accounted for 10 percent or more of the company’s total sales and other operating revenues in 2006.2007.

ACCOUNTING FOR BUY/SELL CONTRACTSAccounting for Buy/Sell Contracts
The company adopted the accounting prescribed by EITFEmerging 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

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 associated with buy/sell transactions in periods prior to the second quarter 2006 are shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income on page FS-27.

LITIGATIONLitigation
MTBE  Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive. ChevronThe company is a party to approximately 7588 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 seepageseepages 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.
Resolution of these actionsremaining 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 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 thesepending lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable, but could be material to net income in any one period. The company currently does not useno longer uses MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.

RFG Patent   Fourteen purported class actions were brought by consumers of reformulated gasoline (RFG) 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 are nowwere consolidated in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where a class action has been certified, and three arewere consolidated in California State Court.a state court action. Unocal is alleged to have monopolized, conspired and engaged in unfair methods 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 of an alleged class of consumers who purchased “summertime” RFG in California from January 1995 through August 2005. Unocal believes it has valid defensesThe parties have reached a tentative agreement to resolve all of the above matters in an amount that is not material to the company’s results of operations, liquidity or

     In 2007, deferred tax liabilities increased by approximately $1,000 from the amount reported in 2006. The increase was primarily related to increased temporary differences for properties, plant and equipment.
     Deferred tax assets increased by approximately $3,800$1,900 in 2006.2007. The increase related primarily to higher pension and other benefit obligations resulting from the implementation of FAS 158, increasedadditional foreign tax credits resultingarising from higher crude oil pricesearnings in tax jurisdictions with high income tax rates, and increased asset retirement obligations.high-tax-rate international jurisdictions. This increase was 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 20072008 through 2029. Foreign tax credit carryforwards of $1,916$3,138 will expire between 20092008 and 2016.2017.

     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 $21,035$20,557 at December 31, 2006. A significant majority of this2007. 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 suchearnings that are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. At the end of 2007, 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 PositionsEffective January 1, 2007, the company implemented Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48,American Jobs Creation ActAccounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of 2004FASB Statement No. 109   In October 2004, (FIN 48), which clarifies the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 was passed into law. The Act provides a deductionaccounting for income from qualified domestic refining and upstream production activities, whichtax 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 phased in from 2005 through 2010. The company expectsallowed by the net effect of this provisiontax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the Actposition. The term “tax position” in FIN 48 refers to resulta position in a decreasepreviously 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.

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

Reductions due to tax positions previously expected to be taken but subsequently not taken on 2006 tax returns  (174)
  
Balance at December 31, 2007 $2,199 
  
     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, the company believes that no change will be individually significant during 2008. Approximately 80 percent of the $2,199 of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007, would have an impact on the overall tax rate if subsequently recognized.
      Tax positions for 2007Chevron and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to approximately 33 percent, based on current earnings levels.income tax audits by many tax jurisdictions throughout the world. For the company’s major tax jurisdictions, examinations of tax returns for certain prior tax years had not been completed as of December 31, 2007. In the long term,this regard, the company expects thatreceived a final U.S. federal income tax audit report for years 2002 and 2003 in March 2007. In early 2008, the new deduction will result in a decrease ofcompany’s 2004 and 2005 tax returns were under examination by the annual effectiveInternal Revenue Service.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDSNew Accounting Standards
EITF Issue No. 04-6, Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred During Production in the Mining Industry (Issue 04-6)   In March 2005, the FASB ratified the earlier Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus on Issue 04-6, which was adopted by the company on January 1, 2006. Stripping costs are costs of removing overburden and other waste materials to access mineral deposits. The consensus calls for stripping costs incurred once a mine goes into production to be treated as variable production costs that should be considered a component of mineral inventory cost subject to ARB No. 43,Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins. Adoption of this accounting for the company’s coal, oil sands and other mining operations resulted in a $19 reduction of retained earnings as of January 1, 2006.

FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109(FIN 48)157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157)  In JulySeptember 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48,FAS 157, which became effective for the company on January 1, 2007.2008. This interpretation clarifies the accountingstandard defines fair value, establishes a framework for income tax benefitsmeasuring 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 uncertain in nature. Under FIN 48,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.

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 tax benefitmaterial 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 uncertain tax position only if management’s assessmentamendment 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 that its positionoptional and is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50 percent likelihood)generally to be upheld on audit based onlyapplied instrument by instrument.

This accounting interpretation also provides guidance on measurement methodology, derecognition thresholds, financial statement classification and disclosures, interest and penalties recognition, and accounting forstandard requires the cumulative-effect adjustment. The new interpretation is intendedacquiring entity in a business combination to provide better financial statement comparability among companies.

     Required annual disclosures include a tabular reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of the period; the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate; the amounts of interest and penalties recognized in the financial statements; any expected significant impacts from unrecognized tax benefits on the financial statements over the subsequent 12-month reporting period; and a description of the tax years remaining to be examined in major tax jurisdictions.

In connection with this increase in liability, the company estimates retained earningsacquiree at the beginning of 2007 will be reduced by $250 or less.

ACCOUNTING FOR SUSPENDED EXPLORATORY WELLSAccounting 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. 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.

     The following table indicates the changes to the company’s suspended exploratory well costs for the three years ended December 31, 2006.2007. No capitalized exploratory well costs were charged to expense upon the 2005 adoption of FSP FAS 19-1.

An additional $63 (one project)$8 (three projects) is related to projects that had drilling activity during 2006.2007. The $397$453 balance related to 2019 projects in areas requiring a major capital expenditure before production could begin and for which additional drilling efforts were not under way or firmly planned for the near future. Additional drilling was not deemed necessary because the presence of hydrocarbons had already been established, and other activities were in process to enable a future decision on project development.
     The projects for the $397$453 referenced above had the following activities associated with assessing the reserves and the projects’ economic viability: (a) $99 million (two projects) – development plans submitted to a government in early 2007; (b) $80 million (one project) – pre-FEED (front-end engineering and design) studies are ongoing with FEED expected to commence in 2007; (c) $75 million (three projects) – continued to pursue unitization opportunities on

projects’ economic viability: (a) $99 (one project) – combined two projects into a single development project and submitted plans to government in 2007; (b) $74 (three projects) – continued unitization efforts on adjacent discoveries that span international boundaries; (d) $42 million(c) $74 (one project) – finalizing field development evaluation; (d) $74 (one project) – field rework continues to accommodate larger design capacity and finalize analysis of new seismic study to determine thesales agreements; (e) $42 (one project) – finalizing development facility concept; (e) $101(f) $90 – miscellaneous activities for 1312 projects with smaller amounts suspended. While progress was being made on all the54 projects, in this category, the decision on the recognition of proved reserves under SEC rules in some cases may not occur for several years because of the complexity, scale and negotiations connected with the projects. The majority of these decisions are expected to occur in the next three years.
     The $907$1,211 of suspended well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2006,2007, represents 110127 exploratory wells in 4454 projects. The tables below contain the aging of these costs on a well and project basis:

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANSEmployee 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 bede minimis, as the company’s funded pension plans are considered “well-funded” under PPA provisions.
     The company also sponsors other postretirement 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 the 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. This contribution 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 retirees retiring

before that date and all Medicare-eligible retirees. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company, and annual contributions are based on actual plan experience.
     In June 2006, the company announced changes to several of its U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans, primarily merging benefits under several Unocal plans into related Chevron plans. Under the plan combinations, former-Unocal employees retiring on or after July 1, 2006, received recognition for Unocal pay and service history toward benefits to be paid under the Chevron pension and postretirement benefit plans. Unocal employees who retired before July 1, 2006, and were participating in the Unocal postretirement medical plan were merged into the Chevron primary U.S. plan effective January 1, 2007. In addition, the company’s contributions for Medicare-eligible retirees under the Chevron plan were increased in 2007 in conjunction with the merger of former-Unocal participants into the Chevron plan.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 and132(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 as an asset or liability, with the offset to “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.” In addition, Chevron recognized its share of amounts recorded by affiliated companies in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to reflect their adoption of FAS 158 at December 31, 2006. The following table illustrates the incremental effect of the adoption of FAS 158 on individual lines in the company’s December 2006 “Consolidated Balance Sheet” after applying the additional minimum liability adjustment required by FASB Statement No. 87,Employers’ Accounting for Pensions.

     Net actuarial losses recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income”loss” at December 31, 2006, related to2007, for the company’s U.S. pension, international pension and other postretirement benefit plans are being amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately nine,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 2007,2008, the company estimates actuarial losses of $139$59, $80 and $81$39 will be amortized from
accumulated “Accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss” for U.S. andpension, international pension plans, and actuarial losses of $81 will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income for other postretirement benefit plans, respectively. In addition, the company
estimates an additional $78 will be recognized from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” during 2008 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, 2006,2007, was approximately sixnine and 1311 years for U.S. and international pension plans, respectively, and sevensix years for other postretirement benefit plans. During 2007,2008, the company estimates prior service (credits) costs of $46$(7), $25 and $17$(81) will be amortized from accumulated“Accumulated other comprehensive incomeloss” for U.S. andpension, international pension plans, and prior service credits of $81 will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income for other postretirement benefit plans.plans, respectively.

1Discount rate and expected rate of return on plan assets were reviewed and updated as needed on a quarterly basis for the main U.S. pension plan.
2The 2005 discount rate, expected return on plan assets and rate of compensation increase reflect the remeasurement of the acquired Unocal benefit plans at July 31, 2005, due to the acquisition of Unocal.2005.
 
32The 2006 U.S. discount rate reflects remeasurement on July 1, 2006, due to plan combinations and changes, primarily merging benefits under several Unocal plans into related Chevron plans.

Expected Return on Plan Assets  The company’s estimates of theestimated 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 determination of the company’s estimates ofestimated 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 7067 percent of the company’s pension plan assets. At December 31, 2006,2007, 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 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, 2006,2007, the company selected a 5.86.3 percent discount rate for the major U.S. pension and postretirement plans. This rate was based on Moody’s Aa Corporate Bond Index and a cash flow analysis that matched estimated future benefit payments to the Citigroup Pension Discount Yield Curve.Curve as of year-end 2007. The discount rates at the end of 2006 and 2005 and 2004 were 5.55.8 percent and 5.85.5 percent, respectively.

Other Benefit Assumptions  For the measurement of accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2006,2007, for the main U.S. postretirement medical plan, the assumed health care cost-trend rates start with 98 percent in 20072008 and gradually decline to 5 percent for 20112014 and beyond. For this measurement at December 31, 2005,2006, the assumed health care cost-trend rates started with 109 percent in 20062007 and gradually declinedeclined to 5 percent for 2011 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

Effect on total service and interest cost components $8 $(8) $9 $(8)
Effect on postretirement benefit obligation $89 $(85) $86 $(75)

measured. To assess 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 establishedapproved the following approved asset allocationpercentage asset-allocation ranges: Equities 40–70, percent, Fixed IncomeIncome/Cash 20–60, percent, Real Estate 0–15 percent and Other 0–5 percent.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 $17$36 and $13$17 at December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, respectively. The “Other” asset category includes minimal investments in private-equity limited partnerships.

Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments  In 2006,2007, the company contributed $224$78 and $225$239 to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively. In 2007,2008, the company expects contributions to be approximately $300 and $200 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 $223$207 in 2007,2008, as compared with $211$150 paid in 2006.2007.
     The following benefit payments, which include estimated future service, are expected to be paid in the next 10 years:

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

     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 is discussed below.follows. Total company matching contributions to employee accounts within the ESIP were $206, $169 and $145 in 2007, 2006 and $139 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. This cost was reduced by the value of shares released from the LESOP totaling

$33, $6 and $4 in 2007, 2006 and $138 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. The remaining amounts,

totaling $173, $163 and $141 in 2007, 2006 and $1 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, 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 recorded for the LESOP were $(1), $(1) and $94 in 2007, 2006 and $(29) in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, including $16, $17 $18 and $23$18 of interest expense related to LESOP debt and a (credit) charge to compensation expense of $(18)$(17), $76$(18) and $(52).$76.
     Of the dividends paid on the LESOP shares, $8, $59 $55 and $52$55 were used in 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004,2005, 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. Included in the 2004 amount was a repayment of debt entered into in 1999 to pay interest on the ESOP debt. Interest expense on this debt was recognized and reported as LESOP interest expense in 1999. 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 20062007 or 20042006 as dividends received by the LESOP were sufficient to satisfy LESOP debt service.
     Shares held in the LESOP are released and allocated to the accounts of plan participants based on debt service deemed to be paid in the year in proportion to the total of current year and remaining debt service. LESOP shares as of December 31, 20062007 and 2005,2006, were as follows:

Benefit Plan Trusts  Texaco established a benefit plan trust for funding obligations under some of its benefit plans. At year-end 2006,2007, 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 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.

     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, 20062007 and 2005,2006, trust assets of $98$69 and $130,$98, respectively, were invested primarily in interest-earning accounts.

ManagementEmployee Incentive Plans  Chevron has two incentive plans, the Management Incentive Plan (MIP) and the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), for officers and other regular salaried employees of the company and its subsidiaries who hold positions of significant responsibility. The 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.alternatives. Aggregate charges to expense for MIP were $184, $180 and $155 in 2007, 2006 and $147 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Awards under the LTIP consist of stock options and other share-based compensation that are described in Note 2221 below.

Other Incentive Plans   The

     Through 2007 the company hashad a program that providesprovided 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 programsprogram were $431, $329 and $324 in 2007, 2006 and $3392005, respectively. Effective in 2006, 20052008, this program was modified to mirror the design of MIP and 2004, respectively.both were combined into a single plan named the Chevron Incentive Plan (CIP).

NOTE 23. OTHER CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS – Continued

Through the end of 2006,2007, the company paid approximately $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 relating to Equilon indemnities must be asserted either as early as February 2007, or no later than February 2009 and claims relating to Motivafor Equilon indemnities must be asserted either as early as February 2007, orand no later than February 2012.2012 for Motiva indemnities. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments. The company has not recorded any liabilities for possible claims under these 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 liabilityindemnification expires.

Securitization   The   During 2007, the company securitizes certaincompleted the sale of its U.S. proprietary consumer credit card business and related receivables. This transaction included terminating the qualifying Special Purpose Entity (SPE) that was used to securitize associated retail andaccounts receivable.
     Through the use of another qualifying SPE, the company had $675 of securitized trade accounts receivable inrelated to its downstream business through the useas of qualifying Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). At December 31, 2006, approximately $1,200, representing about 7 percent of Chevron’s total current accounts and notes receivables balance, were securitized. Chevron’s total estimated financial exposure under these securitizations at December 31, 2006, was approximately $80. These arrangements have2007. This arrangement has the effect of accelerating Chevron’s collection of the securitized amounts. Chevron’s total estimated financial exposure under this securitization at December 31, 2007, was $65. In the event that the SPEs experienceSPE experiences major defaults in the collection of receivables, Chevron believes that it would have no additional loss exposure connected with third-party investments in these securitizations.

this securitization.

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: 2007 – $3,200; 2008 – $1,700;$4,700; 2009 – $2,100;$3,300; 2010 – $1,900;$3,300; 2011 – $900;$1,900; 2012 – $1,300; 2013 and after – $4,100.$4,900. A portion of these commitments may ultimately be shared with project partners. Total payments under the agreements were approximately $3,700 in 2007, $3,000 in 2006 and $2,100 in 2005 and $1,600 in 2004.2005.

Minority Interests  The company has commitments of $209$204 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, 2006,2007, was $1,441.$1,539. Included in this balance were remediation activities of 242240 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



FS-56





NOTE 23. OTHER CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS – Continued

reserve for these sites at year-end 20062007 was $122.$123. 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 20062007 environmental reserves balance of $1,319, $834$1,416, $864 related to approximately 2,2502,000 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 $485$552 was associated with various sites in the international downstream ($117)146), upstream ($252)267), chemicals ($61)105) and other ($55)34). 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 20062007 had a recorded liability that was material to the company’s financial position, results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.
     It is likely that the company will continue to incur additional liabilities, beyond those recorded, for environmental remediation relating to past operations. These future costs are not fully determinable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude


FS-56





Note 22Other Contingencies and Commitments – Continued

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.
     Effective January 1, 2003, the company implemented FASB Statement 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 reasonably estimated. The liability balance of approximately $5,800 for asset retirement obligations at year-end 2006 related primarily to upstream and mining properties. Refer to Note 24 on page FS-5823 below for a discussion of the company’s Asset Retirement Obligations.

     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.

Global Operations   Chevron and its affiliates conduct business activities in approximately 180 countries. Besides the United States, the company and its affiliates have significant operations 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 Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, Republic of the Congo, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, Venezuela and Vietnam.

     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, including the United States. As has occurred in the past, actions could be taken by governments to increase public ownership of the company’s partially or wholly owned businesses or assets or to impose additional taxes or royalties on the company’s operations or both.
     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.

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,



FS-57

NOTE 23. OTHER CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS – Continued

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,customers; trading partners,partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies, governments, contractors, insurers,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.

NOTE 24.Note 23

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONSAsset Retirement Obligations
The company accounts for asset retirement obligations (ARO) in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement (FASB) No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, (FAS(FAS 143). This accounting standard applies to the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO)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(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 preventedprevent 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 2007, 2006 2005 and 2004:2005:

TABLETable V – RESERVE QUANTITY INFORMATIONReserve 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,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 underground 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-68FS-66


           

 
 
 
 
          
TABLETable V – RESERVE QUANTITY INFORMATIONReserve 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.
     Reserve Quantities   At December 31, 2006,2007, oil-equivalent reserves for the company’s consolidated operations were 8.67.9 billion barrels. (Refer to the term “Reserves” on page E-11E-24 for the definition of oil-equivalent reserves.) Approximately 28 percent of the total reserves were in the United States. For the company’s interests in equity affiliates, oil-equivalent reserves were 32.9 billion barrels, 8084 percent of which were associated with the company’s 50 percent ownership in TCO. During the year, the company’s Boscan and LL-652 contracts in Venezuela were converted to Empresas Mixtas (i.e., joint stock contractual structures). The company had not previously recorded any reserves for its Boscan operations, but did so this year as a result of the conversion. The conversion of LL-652 reserves was treated as the sale of consolidated company reserves and the acquisition of equity affiliate reserves.
     Aside from the TCO operations, no single property accounted for more than 5 percent of the company’s total oil-equivalent proved reserves. Fewer than 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 3637 percent of the company’s proved reserves total. 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 20062007 were 2.42.2 billion barrels. Of this amount, 4041 percent, 21 percent and 3938 percent were located in California, the Gulf of Mexico and other U.S. areas, respectively.
     In California, liquids reserves represented 9594 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 6466 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 water-floodwaterflood and CO2 injection.
     The pattern of net reserve changes shown in the following tables, for the three years ending December 31, 2006,2007, 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, declineschanges in oil and gas prices, OPEC constraints, geopolitical uncertainties, and civil unrest.
     The company’s estimated net proved underground oil and natural gas reserves and changes thereto for the years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 20062007 are shown in the tables on pages FS-70FS-68 and FS-72.FS-70.

INFORMATION ON CANADIAN OIL SANDS NET PROVED RESERVES NOT INCLUDED ABOVE: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 443436 million barrels as of December 31, 2006.2007. 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-75.FS-73.

     Noteworthy amounts in the categories of liquids proved-reserve changes for 20042005 through 2006 in the table above2007 are discussed below:
     Revisions   In 2004, net revisions decreased reserves 218 million barrels for consolidated companies and increased reserves for affiliates by 204 million barrels. For consolidated companies, the decrease was composed of 161 million barrels for international areas and 57 million barrels for the United States. The largest downward revision internationally was 70 million barrels in Africa. One field in Angola accounted

for the majority of the net decline as changes were made to oil-in-place estimates based on reservoir performance data. One field in the Asia-Pacific area essentially accounted for the 43 million-barrel downward revision for that region. The revision was associated with reduced well performance. Part of the 36 million-barrel net downward revision for Indonesia was associated with the effect of higher year-end prices on the calculation of reserves for cost-oil recovery under a production-sharing contract. In the United States, the 68 million-barrel net downward revision in the Gulf of

TABLE V – RESERVE QUANTITY INFORMATION – Continued

Mexico area was across several fields and based mainly on reservoir analyses and assessments of well performance. For affiliated companies, the 206 million-barrel increase for TCO was based on an updated assessment of reservoir performance for the Tengiz Field. Partially offsetting this increase was a downward effect of higher year-end prices on the variable royalty-rate calculation. Downward revisions also occurred in other geographic areas because of the effect of higher year-end prices on various production-sharing terms and variable royalty calculations.

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.

     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 barrelmillion-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. 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 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 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.
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.
     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.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.
     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 2004, sales of liquids volumes reduced reserves of consolidated companies by 179 million barrels. Sales totaled 130 million barrels in the United States and 33 million barrels in the “Other” international region. Sales in the “Other” region of the United States totaled 103 million barrels, with two fields accounting for approximately one-half of the volume. The 27 million barrels sold in the Gulf of Mexico reflect the sale of a number of Shelf properties. The “Other” international sales include the disposal of western Canada properties and several fields in the United Kingdom. All the sales were associated with the company’s program to dispose of assets deemed nonstrategic to the portfolio of producing properties.
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.

5During 2005,2007, the percentages of undeveloped reserves at December 31, 2004,2006, transferred to developed reserves were 510 percent and 227 percent for consolidated companies and affiliated companies, respectively.

     Noteworthy amounts in the categories of natural gas proved-reserve changes for 20042005 through 2006 in the table above2007 are discussed below:
     Revisions In 2004, revisions increased reserves for consolidated companies by a net 248 billion cubic feet (BCF), composed of increases of 928 BCF internationally and decreases of 680 BCF in the United States. Internationally, about half of the 346 BCF increase in Africa related to properties in Nigeria, for which changes were associated with well performance reviews, development drilling and lease fuel calculations. The 236 BCF addition in the Asia-Pacific region was related primarily to reservoir analysis for a single field. Most of the 325 BCF in the “Other” international area
was related to a new gas sales contract in Trinidad and Tobago. In the United States, the net 391 BCF downward revision in the Gulf of Mexico was related to well-performance reviews and technical analyses in several fields. Most of the net 316 BCF negative revision in the “Other” U.S. area related to two coal bed methane fields in the Mid-Continent region and their associated wells’ performance. The 963 BCF increase for TCO was connected with updated analyses of reservoir performance and processing plant yields.
     In 2005, reserves were revised downward by 14 BCFbillion 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 attribut-

ableattributable 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.

     In 2006, revisions accounted for a net increase of 481 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 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.
Extensions and Discoveries   In 2004, extensions and discoveries accounted for an increase of 214 BCF, reflecting an increase in the United States of 144 BCF, with 89 BCF added in the “Other” region and 54 BCF added in the Gulf of Mexico through drilling activities in a large number of fields.
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 the 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 fieldField 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, acquisitionpurchases of natural gas reserves were 35 BCF for consolidated companies, about evenly divided between the company’s United States 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.
     SalesIn 2004, sales2007, purchases of natural gas reserves were 141 BCF for consolidated companies, totaled 547 BCF. Of this total, 436 BCF waswhich included the acquisition of an additional interest in the United States and 111Bibiyana Field in Bangladesh. Affiliated company purchases of 211 BCF inrelated to the “Other” international region. In the United States, “Other” region sales accounted for 289 BCF, reflecting the disposalformation of a large number of smaller properties, including a coal bed methane field. Gulf of Mexico sales of 147 BCF reflectednew Hamaca equity affiliate in Venezuela and an initial booking related to the sale of Shelf properties, with four fields accounting for more than one-third of the total sales. Sales in the “Other” international region reflected the disposition of the properties in western Canada and the United Kingdom.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
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.
