Unless legally required, Chevron undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in theforward-looking statements are crude-oil and natural-gas prices; refining, marginsmarketing and marketing margins; chemicals margins; actions of competitors; timing of exploration expenses; the competitiveness of alternate energy sources or product substitutes; technological developments; the results of operations and financial condition of equity affiliates; the inability or failure of the company’s joint-venture partners to fund their share of operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and futurecrude-oil and natural-gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction orstart-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of the company’s net production or manufacturing facilities or delivery/transportation networks due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, severe weather orcrude-oil production quotas that might be imposed by OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries); the potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant investment or product changes under existing or future environmental statutes, regulations and litigation; the potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; the company’s acquisition or disposition of assets; gains and losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government-mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, industry-specific taxes, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on scope of company operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” on pages 32 and 33 of the company’s 2007 Annual Report onForm 10-K/A.

Note 3.  Operating Segments and Geographic Data
 
Although each subsidiary of Chevron is responsible for its own affairs, Chevron Corporation manages its investments in these subsidiaries and their affiliates. For this purpose, the investments are grouped as follows: upstream — exploration and production; downstream — refining, marketing and transportation; chemicals; and all other. The first three of these groupings represent the company’s “reportable segments” and “operating segments” as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information(FAS 131).
 
The segments are separately managed for investment purposes under a structure that includes “segment managers” who report to the company’s “chief operating decision maker” (CODM) (terms as defined in FAS 131). The CODM is the company’s Executive Committee, a committee of senior officers that includes the Chief Executive Officer, and that in turn reports to the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation.
 
The operating segments represent components of the company as described in FAS 131 terms that engage in activities (a) from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM, which makes decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance; and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Segment managers for the reportable segments are directly accountable 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 mining operations, power generation businesses, worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, alternative fuels, technology companies, and the company’s interest in Dynegy Inc. prior to its sale in May 2007.
 
The company’s primary country of operation is the United States of America, its country of domicile. Other components of the company’s operations are reported as “International” (outside the United States).
 
Segment Earnings  The company evaluates the performance of its operating segments on an after-tax basis, without considering the effects of debt financing interest expense or investment interest income, both of which are managed by the company on a worldwide basis. Corporate administrative costs and assets are not allocated to the operating segments. However, operating segments are billed for the direct use of corporate services. Nonbillable costs remain at the corporate level in “All Other.” Income by major operating area for the three-monththree- and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, is presented in the following table:

Note 6.  Income Taxes
 
Taxes on income for the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2008 were $4.5$5.8 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively, compared with $2.8$3.7 billion and $6.5 billion for the comparable periodcorresponding periods in 2007. The associated effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2008 and 2007 were 4749 percent and 3841 percent, respectively. For the comparativesix-month periods, the effective tax rates were 48 percent and 39 percent, respectively. The rate2008 rates in the first quarter of 2008 wascomparative periods were higher primarily because a greater proportion of income was earned in international upstream tax jurisdictions, which generally have higher income tax rates than other tax jurisdictions. In addition, theThe 2007 periodsecond quarter included a relatively low effective tax rate on the sale of the company’s investment in Dynegy common stock. In addition, the 2007 six-month period included a relatively low effective tax rate on the first quarter sale of refining-related assets in the Netherlands and favorable adjustments to taxes from prior periods that resulted from the completion of audits by certain tax authorities.Netherlands.
 
Note 7.  Employee Benefits
 
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 pre-funding provides economic advantages. In the United States, this includes all qualified plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) minimum funding standard. The company does not typically fund U.S. nonqualified pension plans that are not subject to funding requirements under applicable 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 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 each year. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company.

At the end of 2007, the company estimated it would contribute $500 million to employee pension plans during 2008 (composed of $300 million for the U.S. plans and $200 million for the international plans). Through March 31,June 30, 2008, a total of $78$127 million was contributed (including $58$61 million to the U.S. plans). Total estimated contributions for the full year continue to be $500 million, but the company may contribute an amount that differs from this estimate. Actual contribution amounts are dependent upon investment returns, changes in pension obligations, regulatory environments and other economic factors. Additional funding may ultimately be required if investment returns are insufficient to offset increases in plan obligations.
 
During the first quarterhalf of 2008, the company contributed $48$96 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. The company anticipates contributing $160$112 million during the remainder of 2008.

Suspended Well Costs,which provides that an exploratory well continues to be capitalized after the completion of drilling if certain criteria are met. The company’s capitalized cost of suspended wells at March 31,June 30, 2008, was $1.80$1.84 billion, an increase of approximately $140$180 million from year-end 2007 due primarily to drilling activities in the United States.States, Nigeria and Australia. For the category of exploratory well costs at year-end 2007 that were suspended more than one year, a total of $25$65 million was expensed in the first three monthshalf of 2008.
 
Note 9.  Litigation
 
MTBE  Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive. The company is a party to 89 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 seepagesseepage of MTBE into groundwater. Chevron has agreed in principle to a tentative settlement of 6059 pending lawsuits and claims. The terms of this agreement which must be approved by a number of parties, including theis currently under court review are confidential and not material to the company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position.
 
Resolution of remaining 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 6059 lawsuits did not set any precedents related to standards of liability to be used to judge the merits of the claims, corrective measures required or monetary damages to be assessed for the remaining lawsuits and claims or future lawsuits and claims. As a result, the company’s ultimate exposure related to pending lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable, but could be material to net income in any one period. The company no longer uses MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.
 
RFG Patent  Fourteen purported class actions were brought by consumers 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 were consolidated in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where a class action has been certified, and three were consolidated in 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. The 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 financial position. The terms of this agreement are confidential, and subject to further negotiation and approval, including by the courts.
 
Ecuador  Chevron is a defendant in a civil lawsuit before the Superior Court of Nueva Loja in Lago Agrio, Ecuador brought in May 2003 by plaintiffs who claim to be representatives of certain residents of an area where an oil production consortium formerly had operations. The lawsuit alleges damage to the environment from the oil exploration and production operations, and seeks unspecified damages to fund environmental remediation and restoration of the alleged environmental harm, plus a health monitoring program. Until 1992, Texaco Petroleum Company (Texpet), a subsidiary of Texaco Inc., was a minority member of this consortium with Petroecuador, the Ecuadorian state-owned oil company, as the majority partner; since 1990, the operations have been conducted solely by Petroecuador. At the conclusion of the consortium, and following an independent third-party environmental audit of the concession area, Texpet entered into a formal agreement with the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador for Texpet to remediate specific sites assigned by the government in proportion to Texpet’s ownership share of the consortium. Pursuant to that agreement, Texpet conducted a three-year remediation program at a cost of $40 million. After certifying that the sites were properly remediated, the government granted

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Texpet and all related corporate entities a full release from any and all environmental liability arising from the consortium operations.


15


 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Based on the history described above, Chevron believes that this lawsuit lacks legal or factual merit. As to matters of law, the company believes first, that the court lacks jurisdiction over Chevron; second, that the law under which plaintiffs bring the action, enacted in 1999, cannot be applied retroactively to Chevron; third, that the claims are barred by the statute of limitations in Ecuador; and, fourth, that the lawsuit is also barred by the releases from liability previously given to Texpet by the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador. With regard to the facts, the Company believes that the evidence confirms that Texpet’s remediation was properly conducted and that the remaining environmental damage reflects Petroecuador’s failure to timely fulfill its legal obligations and Petroecuador’s further conduct since assuming full control over the operations.
 
Recently,In April 2008, a mining engineer appointed by the court to identify and determine the cause of environmental damage, and to specify steps needed to remediate it, issued a report recommending that the court assess $8 billion, which would, according to the engineer, provide financial compensation for purported damages, including wrongful death claims, and pay for, among other items, environmental remediation, healthcare systems, and additional infrastructure for Petroecuador. The engineer’s report also asserts that an additional $8.3 billion could be assessed against Chevron for unjust enrichment. The engineer’s report is not binding on the court. Chevron also believes that the engineer’s work was performed, and his report prepared, in a manner contrary to law and in violation of the court’s orders. Chevron intends to move to strike the report and otherwise continue a vigorous defense against any attempted imposition of liability. For
Management does not believe an estimate of a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss) can be made in this case. Due to the reasons indicated above, Chevrondefects associated with the engineer’s report, management does not believe the engineer’s report furnishesitself has any utility in calculating a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss). Moreover, the highly uncertain legal environment surrounding the case provides no basis for calculating Chevron’s potential exposure in this case.management to estimate a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss).
 
Note 10.  Other Contingencies and Commitments
 
Guarantees  The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contingent liabilities with respect to guarantees, direct or indirect, of debt of affiliated companies or third parties. Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, generally the company would be required to perform should the affiliated company or third party fail to fulfill its obligations under the arrangements. In some cases, the guarantee arrangements may have recourse provisions that would enable the company to recover any payments made under the terms of the guarantees from assets provided as collateral.
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Obligations  The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contractual obligations relating to long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, including throughput andtake-or-pay agreements, some of which relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide goods and services, such as pipeline, storage and storageregasification capacity, drilling rigs, utilities and petroleum products, to be used or sold in the ordinary course of the company’s business.
 
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 MarchJune 2008, the company 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


16


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
arisen prior to December 2001. Claims must be asserted no later than February 2009 for Equilon indemnities and no later than February 2012 for Motiva indemnities. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments. 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.


16


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
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 liability expires. The acquirer of the assets sold in 1997 shares in certain environmental remediation costs up to a maximum obligation of $200 million, which had not been reached as of March 31,June 30, 2008.
 
Minority Interests  The company has commitments of $217$226 million related to minority interests in subsidiary companies.
 
Environmental  The company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to laws, regulations, private claims and legal proceedings related to environmental matters that are subject to legal settlements or that in the future may require the company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemicals or petroleum substances, including MTBE, by the company or other parties. Such contingencies may exist for various 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 at December 31, 2007, was approximately $1.5 billion. At June 30, 2008, the environmental reserve increased to approximately $1.9 billion. The increase was mainly associated with remediation liabilities Chevron has incurred for sites that were previously sold.
Financial Instruments  The company believes it has no material market or credit risks to its operations, financial position or liquidity as a result of its commodities and other derivatives activities, includingforward-exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. However, the results of operations and the financial position of certain equity affiliates may be affected by their business activities involving the use of derivative instruments.
 
Equity Redetermination  For oil and gas producing operations, ownership agreements may provide for periodic reassessments of equity interests in estimated crude-oil and natural-gas reserves. These activities, individually or together, may result in gains or losses that could be material to earnings in any given period. One such equity redetermination process has been under way since 1996 for Chevron’s interests in four producing zones at the Naval Petroleum Reserve at Elk Hills, California, for the time when the remaining interests in these zones were owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. A wide range remains for a possible net settlement amount for the four zones. For this range of settlement, Chevron estimates its maximum possible net before-tax liability at approximately $200 million, and the possible maximum net amount that could be owed to Chevron is estimated at about $150 million. The timing of the settlement and the exact amount within this range of estimates are uncertain.


17


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Other Contingencies  Chevron receives claims from and submits claims to customers; trading partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies; governments; contractors; insurers; and suppliers. The amounts of these claims, individually and in the aggregate, may be significant and take lengthy periods to resolve.
 
The company and its affiliates also continue to review and analyze their operations and may close, abandon, sell, exchange, acquire or restructure assets to achieve operational or strategic benefits and to improve competitiveness and profitability. These activities, individually or together, may result in gains or losses in future periods.
 
Note 11.  Restructuring and Reorganization Costs
 
In 2007, the company implemented a restructuring and reorganization program in its global downstream operations. Approximately 1,1001,000 employees were eligible for severance payments. As of March 31,June 30, 2008,

Note 12.  Fair Value Measurements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issuedThe company implemented FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(FAS (FAS 157), which became effective for the company onas of January 1, 2008. FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. FAS 157 does not mandate any new fair-value measurements and is applicable to assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value under other accounting pronouncements. Implementation of this standard did not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position.
Inwas amended in February 2008 the FASB issuedby FASB Staff Position (FSP)FAS No. 157-1,Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Its Related Interpretive Accounting Pronouncements That Address Leasing Transactions,(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.
Also in February 2008, the FASB issuedby FSPFAS 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the company’s application of FAS 157 for nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities until January 1, 2009. In this regard, the major categories of assets and liabilities for which the company will not apply the provisions
Implementation of FAS 157 until January 1, 2009, are long-lived assets that are measured at fair value upon impairmentdid not have a material effect on the company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position and liabilities for asset retirement obligations.
The company’s implementation of FAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on January 1, 2008, had no effect on itsthe company’s existing fair-value measurement practices butpractices. However, FAS 157 requires disclosure of a fair-value hierarchy of inputs the company uses to value an asset or a liability. The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy are described as follows:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. For the company, Level 1 inputs include exchange-traded futures contracts for which the parties are willing to transact at the exchange-quoted price and marketable securities that are actively traded.
 
Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly. For the company, Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, prices obtained through third-party broker quotes and prices that can be corroborated with other observable inputs for substantially the complete term of a contract.


18


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs. The company does not use Level 3 inputs for any of its recurringfair-value measurements. Beginning January 1, 2009, Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

Marketable securitiesThe company calculates fair value for its marketable securities based on quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities.
 
DerivativesThe company records its derivative instruments — beyondother than any commodity derivative contracts that are designated as normal purchase and normal sale — on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, with virtually all the offsetting amount to the Consolidated Statement of Income. For derivatives with identical or similar provisions as contracts that are publicly traded on a regular basis, the company uses the market values of the publicly traded instruments as an input for fair-value calculations.
 
The company’s derivative instruments principally include crude oil, natural gas and refined-product futures, swaps, options and forward contracts, as well as interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency forward contracts. Derivatives classified as Level 1 include futures, swaps and options contracts traded in active markets such as the NYMEX (New York Mercantile Exchange). Level 2 derivatives include swaps (including interest rate), options, and forward (including foreign currency) contracts principally with financial institutions and other oil and gas companies, the fair values for which are obtained from third party broker quotes, industry pricing services and exchanges. These Level 2 fair values are routinely corroborated on a sample basis with observable market-based inputs.
 
Note 13.  New Accounting Standards
 
FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations(FAS 141-R)In December 2007, the FASB issuedFAS 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160)The FASB issued FAS 160 in December 2007, which will become 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


19


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income statement. Certain changes in a parent’s ownership interest are to be accounted for as equity transactions and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is to be initially measured at fair value. The company does not anticipate the implementation of FAS 160 will significantly change the presentation of its consolidated income statement or consolidated balance sheet.
 
FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161)In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161, which becomes effective for the company on January 1, 2009. This standard amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 161 requires disclosures related to objectives and strategies for using derivatives; the fair-value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments; and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The effect on the company’s disclosures for derivative instruments as a result of the adoption of FAS 161 in 2009 will depend on the company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities at that time.

Business Environment and Outlook
 
Chevron is a global energy company with its most significant business activities in the following countries: Angola, Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Chad, China, Colombia,


21


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, Qatar, Republic of the Congo, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, the United States, Venezuela and Vietnam.


21


Chevron’s current and future earnings 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 infrequentand/or unusual in nature.
 
Chevron and the oil and gas industry at large continue 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, but particularly for the upstream business. The company’s operations, particularly 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 related operations and results and are carefully considered by management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries.
 
To sustain its long-term competitive position in the upstream business, the company must develop and replenish an inventory of projects that offer adequate financial returns for the investment required. Identifying promising areas for exploration, acquiring the necessary rights to explore for and to produce crude oil and natural gas, drilling successfully, and handling the many technical and operational details in a safe and cost-effective manner, are all important factors in this effort. Projects often require long lead times and large capital commitments. In the current environment of higher commodity prices, certain governments have sought to renegotiate contracts or impose additional costs and taxes 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.
 
The company also continually evaluates opportunities to dispose of assets that are not key to providing sufficient long-term value, or to acquire assets or operations complementary to its asset base to help augment the company’s growth. 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:
 
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. Moreover, any of these factors could also inhibit the company’s production capacity in an affected region. The company monitors developments closely in the countries in which it operates and holds investments, and attempts to manage risks in operating its facilities and business.
 
Price levels for capital and exploratory costs and operating expenses associated with the efficient production of crude-oil and natural-gas can also be subject to external factors beyond the company’s control. External factors include not only the general level of inflation but also prices charged by the industry’s material- andservice-providers, which can be affected by the volatility of the industry’s own supply and demand conditions for such materials and services. The oil and gas industry worldwide has experienced significant price increases for these items since 2005, and future price increases may continue to exceed the general level of inflation. Capital and exploratory expenditures and operating expenses also can be affected by damages to production facilities caused by severe weather or civil unrest.

During 2007, industry price levels for West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a benchmark crude oil, averaged $72 per barrel. The price for WTI averaged $98$111 per barrel for the first quarterhalf of 2008 and was about $115$124 per barrel at the end of April.July. Worldwide crude oil prices have remained strong due mainly to increasing demand in growing


22


economies, the heightened level of geopolitical uncertainty in some areas of the world and supply concerns in other key producing regions.
 
As in 2007, a wide differential in prices existed during the first quarterhalf of 2008 between high-quality(high-gravity, low sulfur) crude oils and those of lower quality (low-gravity, heavier types of crude)high sulfur). The relatively lower price for the heavier crudes has been dampened because ofassociated with an ample supply and a relatively lower relative demand due to the limited number of refineries that are able to process this lower-quality feedstock into light products (motor gasoline, jet fuel, aviation gasoline and diesel fuel). The price for higher-quality crude oil has remained high, as the demand for light products, which can be more easily manufactured by refineries from high-quality crude oil, has been strong worldwide. Chevron produces or shares in the production of heavy crude oil in California, Chad, Indonesia, the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Venezuela and in certain fields in Angola, China and the United Kingdom North Sea. (Refer to page 30 for the company’s average U.S. and international crude-oil realizations.)
 
In contrast to price movements in the global market for crude oil, price changes for natural gas in many regional markets are more closely aligned with supply and demand conditions in those markets. In the United States, benchmark prices at Henry Hub averaged about $8.60nearly $10 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the first quarterhalf of 2008, compared with $7.20$7.40 for the first quarterhalf of 2007 and about $7 for the full year.year 2007. At the end of AprilJuly 2008, the Henry Hub spot price was approximately $11$9 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. U.S. natural gas prices are also typically higher during the winter period when demand for heating is greatest.
 
Certain other regions of the world in which the company operates have different supply, demand and regulatory circumstances, typically resulting in significantly lower average sales prices for the company’s production of natural gas. (Refer to page 30 for the company’s average natural gas realizations for the U.S. and international regions.) Additionally, excess-supply conditions that exist in certain parts of the world cannot easily serve to mitigate the relatively high-price conditions in the United States and other markets because of the lack of infrastructure to transport and receive liquefied natural gas.
 
To help address this regional imbalance between supply and demand for natural gas, Chevron is planning increased investments 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 priceprices 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-oilcrude oil and natural-gas,natural gas, changes in fiscal terms of contracts, changes in tax rates on income, and the cost of goods and services.
 
In the first quarterhalf of 2008, the company’s worldwide oil-equivalent production averaged approximately 2.62.57 million barrels per day. At the beginning of 2008, the company estimated production for the full year at 2.65 million barrels per day under a set of crude-oil and natural-gas price assumptions for the year. Actual crude-oil prices in the 2008 first quarterhalf were higher than the prices used in the production forecast, and the impact of these higher prices reduced the anticipated volumes recoverable under certain production-sharing and variable-royalty agreements outside the United States. This difference in recovered volumes essentially accounted for most of the variation between the first quarter’shalf of 2008 actual reported rate of production and the full-year forecast. The full-year production outlook is also subject to other factors and many uncertainties, including quotas that may be imposed by OPEC, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on the scope of company operations, delays in projectstart-ups, and production disruptions that could be caused by severe weather, local civil unrest and changing geopolitics. Future

production levels also are affected by the size and number of economic investment opportunities and, for newlarge-scale projects, the time lag between initial exploration and the beginning of production. A significant majority


23


of Chevron’s upstream investment is currently being made outside the United States. Investments in upstream projects generally are madebegin well in advance of the start of the associated crude-oil and natural-gas production. For example, the company’s recently announced startup of the 68 percent-owned deepwater Agbami project in Nigeria was associated with a 1998 crude-oil discovery. The total maximum oil-equivalent production at Agbami is estimated at 250,000 barrels per day by the end of 2009.
 
Approximately 27 percentAbout one-fourth of the company’s net oil-equivalent production in the first quarterhalf of 2008 occurred in the OPEC-member countries of Angola, Indonesia, Nigeria and Venezuela and in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. OPEC quotas did not significantly affect Chevron’s production level in 2007 or in the first quarterhalf of 2008. The impact of quotas on the company’s production in future periods is uncertain.

Downstream  Earnings for the downstream segment are closely tied to margins on the refining and marketing of products that include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, fuel oil and feedstocks for chemical manufacturing. Industry margins are sometimes volatile and can be affected by the global and regionalsupply-and-demand balance for refined products and by changes in the price of crude oil used for refinery feedstock. Industry margins can also be influenced by refined-product inventory levels, geopolitical events, refinery maintenance programs and disruptions at refineries resulting from unplanned outages that may be due to severe weather, fires or other operational events.
 
Other factors affecting profitability for downstream operations include the reliability and efficiency of the company’s refining and marketing network, the effectiveness of the crude-oil and product-supply functions and the economic returns on invested capital. Profitability can also be affected by the volatility of tanker-charter rates for the company’s shipping operations, which are driven by the industry’s demand for crude-oil and product tankers. Other factors beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation and energy costs to operate the company’s refinery and distribution network.
 
The company’s most significant marketing areas are the West Coast of North America, the U.S. Gulf Coast, Latin America, Asia,sub-Saharan Africa and the United Kingdom. Chevron operates or has ownership interests in refineries in each of these areas, except Latin America. Downstream earnings, especially in the United States, have been weak since mid-2007 due mainly to increasing prices of crude oil used in the refining process that have not always been fully recovered through sales prices of refined products.
 
Refer to the Results of Operations on pagepages 26 through 27 for additional discussion of the company’s downstream operations.
 
Chemicals  Earnings in the petrochemicals business are closely tied to global chemical demand, industry inventory levels and plant capacity utilization. Feedstock and fuel costs, which tend to followcrude-oil andnatural-gas price movements, also influence earnings in this segment.
 
Refer to the Results of Operations on page 2627 for additional discussion of chemical earnings.

U.S. upstream income of $1.60$2.2 billion doubledin the second quarter of 2008 increased nearly $1 billion from the same period last year. Higher prices for crude oil and natural gas benefited earnings by about $1.6 billion between periods. Partially offsetting this benefit were an increase in operating expenses, the impact of lower production and the absence of gains on asset sales.
Six-month 2008 earnings were $3.8 billion, compared with $2 billion a year earlier. Higher prices for crude oil and natural gas increased earnings by about $2.7 billion between periods. Partially offsetting this benefit were the same factors as mentioned above for the fluctuation in earnings between the quarterly periods.
The average realization for crude oil and natural gas liquids in the second quarter of 2008 was $109 per barrel, compared with $57 a year earlier. Six-month prices were $98 and $54 for 2008 and 2007, respectively. The average natural-gas realization was $9.84 per thousand cubic feet in the 2008 quarter, compared with $6.56 in the year-ago period. First-half realizations were $8.67 in 2008 and $6.48 in 2007.
Net oil-equivalent production was 702,000 barrels per day in the second quarter 2008, down 50,000 barrels per day from the corresponding period in 2007. First-half production was 708,000 barrels per day, down 42,000 barrels per day from the first six months of 2007. The lower production in 2008 for both comparative periods was associated with normal field declines. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased by 6 percent for both the quarter and first half, to 438,000 barrels per day and 437,000, respectively. Net natural gas production averaged 1.6 billion cubic feet per day for both the second quarter and six months of 2008, down about 7 percent and 5 percent, respectively, from the comparative 2007 periods.

International upstream income of $3.53 billion in the first quarter of 2008 increased $1.42 billion from a year earlier, due mainly to higher prices for crude oil. Prices and sales volumes of natural gas were also higher between periods. Partially offsetting these benefits were higher operating expenses and lower crude-oil sales volumes associated with the timing of cargo liftings in certain producing regions.
The average liquids realization for the first quarter of 2008 was $86.13 per barrel, about a 70 percent increase from $51.15 in the 2007 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securitiestotaled $8.7$8.6 billion at March 31,June 30, 2008, up $600$500 million from year-end 2007. Cash provided by operating activities in the first three monthshalf of 2008 was $8.1$15.3 billion, an amount sufficient to fund the company’s capital and exploratory program, payment of dividends to stockholdersdividend payments and repurchases of common stock.
 
Dividends  The company paid dividends of $1.2$2.5 billion to common stockholders during the first quartersix months of 2008. In April 2008, the company increased its quarterly dividend by 12.1 percent to 65 cents per share.
 
Debt and Capital Lease and Minority Interest Obligations  Chevron’s total debt and capital lease obligations were $6.8$6.7 billion at March 31,June 30, 2008, vs.down from $7.2 billion at December 31, 2007. The decline was associated with $750 million of Chevron Canada Funding Company bonds that matured in February 2008. The company also had minority interest obligations of $217$226 million at March 31,June 30, 2008. In February 2008, $750 million of Chevron Canada Funding Company bonds matured.
 
The company’s debt and capital lease obligations due within one year, consisting primarily of commercial paper and the current portion of long-term debt, totaled $5.5 billion at March 31,June 30, 2008, and December 31, 2007. Of these amounts, $4.8$4.6 billion and $4.4 billion were reclassified to long-term at the end of each period, respectively. At March 31,June 30, 2008, settlement of these obligations was not expected to require the use of working capital within one year, as the company had the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to refinance them on a long-term basis.
 
At March 31,June 30, 2008, the company had $5 billion in committed credit facilities with various major banks, which permit the refinancing of short-term obligations on a long-term basis. These facilities support commercial paper borrowing and also can be used for general corporate purposes. The company’s practice has been to continually replace expiring commitments with new commitments on substantially the same terms, maintaining levels management believes appropriate. Any borrowings under the facilities would be unsecured indebtedness at interest rates based on London Interbank Offered Rate or an average of base lending rates published by specified banks and on terms reflecting the company’s strong credit rating. No borrowings were outstanding under these facilities at March 31,June 30, 2008. In addition, the company has an automatic shelf registration statement that expires in March 2010 for an unspecified amount of non-convertible debt securities issued or guaranteed by the company.
 
The company has outstanding public bonds issued by Chevron Corporation Profit Sharing/Savings Plan Trust Fund, Texaco Capital Inc. and Union Oil Company of California. All of these securities are guaranteed by Chevron Corporation and are rated AA by Standard and Poor’s Corporation and Aa1 by Moody’s Investors Service. The company’s U.S. commercial paper is ratedA-1+ by Standard and Poor’s andP-1 by Moody’s. All of these ratings denote high-quality, investment-grade securities.
 
The company’s future debt level is dependent primarily on results of operations, the capital-spending program and cash that may be generated from asset dispositions. The company believes that it has substantial borrowing capacity to meet unanticipated cash requirements and that during periods of low prices for crude oil and natural gas and narrow margins for refined products and commodity chemicals, it has the flexibility to increase borrowingsand/or modify capital-spending plans to continue paying the common stock dividend and maintain the company’s high-quality debt ratings.
 
Common Stock Repurchase Program  In September 2007, the company authorized the acquisition of up to $15 billion of its common shares from time to time at prevailing prices, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements and subject to market conditions and other factors. The program is for a period of up to three years and may be discontinued at any time. The company acquired 23.420.5 million shares in the open market for $2.0 billion during the firstsecond quarter of 2008. From the inception of the program in September 2007 through AprilJuly 2008, the company had purchased 49.770.2 million shares for approximately $4.3$6.4 billion.
 
Current Ratio — current assets divided by current liabilities. The current ratio was 1.2 at March 31,June 30, 2008, and at December 31, 2007. The current ratio is adversely affected by the valuation of Chevron’s inventories on a LIFO basis. At December 31, 2007, the book value of inventory was approximately $7 billion lower than replacement costs, based on average


31


costs, based on average acquisition costs during the year, by approximately $7.0 billion.year. The company does not consider its inventory valuation methodology to affect liquidity.
 
Debt Ratio — total debt as a percentage of total debt plus equity. This ratio was 7.97.5 percent at March 31,June 30, 2008, and 8.6 percent at year-end 2007, respectively.
 
Pension Obligations  At the end of 2007, the company estimated it would contribute $500 million to employee pension plans during 2008 (composed of $300 million for the U.S. plans and $200 million for the international plans). Through March 31,June 30, 2008, a total of $78$127 million was contributed (including $58$61 million to the U.S. plans). Total estimated contributions for the full year continue to be $500 million, but the company may contribute an amount that differs from this estimate. Actual contribution amounts are dependent upon investment returns, changes in pension obligations, regulatory environments and other economic factors. Additional funding may ultimately be required if investment returns are insufficient to offset increases in plan obligations.
 
During the first quarter of 2008, the company contributed $48 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. The company anticipates contributing $160 million during the remainder of 2008.
Capital and Exploratory Expenditures  Total expenditures, including the company’s share of spending by affiliates, were $5.1$10.3 billion in the first threesix months of 2008, compared with $4.1$8.6 billion in the corresponding 2007 period. The amounts included the company’s share of equity-affiliate expenditures of $500$900 million and $474 million$1.1 billion in the 2008 and 2007 periods, respectively. Expenditures for upstream projects in 2008 were about $4.3$8.4 billion, representing 8482 percent of the companywide total.

Contingencies and Significant Litigation
 
MTBE  Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as a gasoline additive. The company is a party to 89 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 seepagesseepage of MTBE into groundwater. Chevron has agreed in principle to a tentative settlement of 6059 pending lawsuits and claims. The terms of this agreement which must be approved by a number of parties, including theis currently under court review are confidential and not material to the company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position.


32


Resolution of remaining 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 6059 lawsuits did not set any precedents related to standards of liability to be used to judge


32


the merits of the claims, corrective measures required or monetary damages to be assessed for the remaining lawsuits and claims or future lawsuits and claims. As a result, the company’s ultimate exposure related to pending lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable, but could be material to net income in any one period. The company no longer uses MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.
 
RFG Patent  Fourteen purported class actions were brought by consumers 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 were consolidated in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, where a class action has been certified, and three were consolidated in 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. The 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 financial position. The terms of this agreement are confidential, and subject to further negotiation and approval, including by the courts.
 
Ecuador  Chevron is a defendant in a civil lawsuit before the Superior Court of Nueva Loja in Lago Agrio, Ecuador brought in May 2003 by plaintiffs who claim to be representatives of certain residents of an area where an oil production consortium formerly had operations. The lawsuit alleges damage to the environment from the oil exploration and production operations, and seeks unspecified damages to fund environmental remediation and restoration of the alleged environmental harm, plus a health monitoring program. Until 1992, Texaco Petroleum Company (Texpet), a subsidiary of Texaco Inc., was a minority member of this consortium with Petroecuador, the Ecuadorian state-owned oil company, as the majority partner; since 1990, the operations have been conducted solely by Petroecuador. At the conclusion of the consortium, and following an independent third-party environmental audit of the concession area, Texpet entered into a formal agreement with the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador for Texpet to remediate specific sites assigned by the government in proportion to Texpet’s ownership share of the consortium. Pursuant to that agreement, Texpet conducted a three-year remediation program at a cost of $40 million. After certifying that the sites were properly remediated, the government granted Texpet and all related corporate entities a full release from any and all environmental liability arising from the consortium operations.
 
Based on the history described above, Chevron believes that this lawsuit lacks legal or factual merit. As to matters of law, the company believes first, that the court lacks jurisdiction over Chevron; second, that the law under which plaintiffs bring the action, enacted in 1999, cannot be applied retroactively to Chevron; third, that the claims are barred by the statute of limitations in Ecuador; and, fourth, that the lawsuit is also barred by the releases from liability previously given to Texpet by the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador. With regard to the facts, the Company believes that the evidence confirms that Texpet’s remediation was properly conducted and that the remaining environmental damage reflects Petroecuador’s failure to timely fulfill its legal obligations and Petroecuador’s further conduct since assuming full control over the operations.
 
Recently,In April 2008, a mining engineer appointed by the court to identify and determine the cause of environmental damage, and to specify steps needed to remediate it, issued a report recommending that the court assess $8 billion, which would, according to the engineer, provide financial compensation for purported damages, including wrongful death claims, and pay for, among other items, environmental remediation, healthcare systems, and additional infrastructure for Petroecuador. The engineer’s report also asserts that an additional $8.3 billion could be assessed against Chevron for unjust enrichment. The engineer’s report is not binding on the court. Chevron also believes that the engineer’s work was performed, and his report prepared, in a manner contrary to law and in violation of the court’s orders. Chevron intends to move to strike the report and otherwise continue a vigorous defense against any attempted imposition of liability. For
Management does not believe an estimate of a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss) can be made in this case. Due to the reasons indicated above, Chevrondefects associated with the engineer’s report, management does not believe the engineer’s report furnishesitself has any utility in calculating a basis for calculating Chevron’s potential exposure in this case.reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss). Moreover, the highly uncertain legal


33


environment surrounding the case provides no basis for management to estimate a reasonably possible loss (or a range of loss).
Guarantees  The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contingent liabilities with respect to guarantees, direct or indirect, of debt of affiliated companies or third parties. Under the terms of the guarantee arrangements, generally the company would be required to perform should the affiliated company or third party fail to fulfill its obligations under the arrangements. In some cases, the guarantee arrangements may have recourse provisions that would enable the company to recover any payments made under the terms of the guarantees from assets provided as collateral.
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Obligations  The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contractual obligations relating to long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, including throughput andtake-or-pay agreements, some of which relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide goods and services, such as pipeline, storage and storageregasification capacity, drilling rigs, utilities and petroleum products, to be used or sold in the ordinary course of the company’s business.
 
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 MarchJune 2008, the company 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 must be asserted no later than February 2009 for Equilon indemnities and no later than February 2012 for Motiva indemnities. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments. 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 liability expires. The acquirer of the assets sold in 1997 shares in certain environmental remediation costs up to a maximum obligation of $200 million, which had not been reached as of March 31,June 30, 2008.
 
Minority Interests  The company has commitments of $217$226 million related to minority interests in subsidiary companies.
 
EnvironmentalThe company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to laws, regulations, private claims and legal proceedings related to environmental matters that are subject to legal settlements or that in the future may require the company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemicals or petroleum substances, including MTBE, by the company or other parties. Such contingencies may exist for various sites, including, but not limited to, federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, refineries, crude oilcrude-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.


34


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


34


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 at December 31, 2007, was approximately $1.5 billion. At June 30, 2008, the environmental reserve increased to approximately $1.9 billion. The increase was mainly associated with remediation liabilities Chevron has incurred for sites that were previously sold.
 
Financial Instruments  The company believes it has no material market or credit risks to its operations, financial position or liquidity as a result of its commodities and other derivatives activities, including forward exchangeforward-exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. However, the results of operations and the financial position of certain equity affiliates may be affected by their business activities involving the use of derivative instruments.
 
Income Taxes  Tax positions for Chevron and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to income tax audits by many tax jurisdictions throughout the world. For the company’s major tax jurisdictions, examinations of tax returns for certain prior tax years had not been completed as of March 31,June 30, 2008. For Chevron’s major tax jurisdictions, the latest years for which income tax examinations had been finalized were as follows: United States — 2003, Nigeria — 1994, Angola — 2001 and Saudi Arabia — 2003.
 
Settlement of open tax years, as well as tax issues in other countries where the company conducts its businesses, is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the company and, in the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for income and franchise taxes for all years under examination or subject to future examination.
 
Equity Redetermination  For oil and gas producing operations, ownership agreements may provide for periodic reassessments of equity interests in estimated crude oilcrude-oil and natural gasnatural-gas reserves. These activities, individually or together, may result in gains or losses that could be material to earnings in any given period. One such equity redetermination process has been under way since 1996 for Chevron’s interests in four producing zones at the Naval Petroleum Reserve at Elk Hills, California, for the time when the remaining interests in these zones were owned by the U.S. Department of Energy. A wide range remains for a possible net settlement amount for the four zones. For this range of settlement, Chevron estimates its maximum possible net before-tax liability at approximately $200 million, and the possible maximum net amount that could be owed to Chevron is estimated at about $150 million. The timing of the settlement and the exact amount within this range of estimates are uncertain.
 
Other Contingencies  Chevron receives claims from and submits claims to customers; trading partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies; governments; contractors; insurers; and suppliers. The amounts of these claims, individually and in the aggregate, may be significant and take lengthy periods to resolve.
 
The company and its affiliates also continue to review and analyze their operations and may close, abandon, sell, exchange, acquire or restructure assets to achieve operational or strategic benefits and to improve competitiveness and profitability. These activities, individually or together, may result in gains or losses in future periods.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations(FAS 141-R)In December 2007, the FASB issuedFAS 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 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.


35


FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160)The FASB issued FAS 160 in December 2007, which will become 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 the face of the consolidated income statement. Certain changes in a parent’s ownership interest are to be accounted for as equity transactions and when a subsidiary


35


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.
 
FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161)In March 2008, the FASB issued FAS 161, which becomes effective for the company on January 1, 2009. This standard amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. FAS 161 requires disclosures related to objectives and strategies for using derivatives; the fair-value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments; and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The effect on the company’s disclosures for derivative instruments as a result of the adoption of FAS 161 in 2009 will depend on the company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities at that time.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Information about market risks for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008, does not differ materially from that discussed under Item 7A of Chevron’s 2007 Annual Report onForm 10-K/A.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
Chevron Corporation’smanagement has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the company’s “disclosureour disclosure controls and procedures”procedures (as defined inRulesRule 13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)),1934) as of March 31, 2008, havethe end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2008, the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the company and its consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in the company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act would be made known to them by others within those entities.as of June 30, 2008.
 
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
During the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2008, there were no changes in the company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II
 
OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (“BAAQMD”) and Chevron have agreed on the terms of a settlement involving 12 Notices of Violation (“NOVs”) issued during 2007 by BAAQMD, to be resolved for a total of $110,750. The settlement agreement is anticipated to be fully executed, and the settlement amount paid, during the second quarter of 2008. The NOVs in this settlement address a variety of issues related to air emissions, including reporting and monitoring.
Ecuador  Chevron is a defendant in a civil lawsuit before the Superior Court of Nueva Loja in Lago Agrio, Ecuador brought in May 2003 by plaintiffs who claim to be representatives of certain residents of an area where an oil production consortium formerly had operations. The lawsuit alleges damage to the environment from the oil exploration and production operations, and seeks unspecified damages to fund environmental remediation and restoration of the alleged environmental harm, plus a health monitoring program. Until 1992, Texaco Petroleum Company (Texpet), a subsidiary of Texaco Inc., was a minority member of this consortium with Petroecuador, the Ecuadorian state-owned oil company, as the majority partner; since 1990, the operations have been conducted solely by Petroecuador. At the conclusion of the consortium, and following an independent third-party environmental audit of the concession area, Texpet entered into a formal agreement with the Republic of


36


Ecuador and Petroecuador for Texpet to remediate specific sites assigned by the government in proportion to Texpet’s ownership share of the consortium. Pursuant to that agreement, Texpet conducted a three-year remediation program at a cost of $40 million. After certifying that the sites were properly remediated, the government granted Texpet and all related corporate entities a full release from any and all environmental liability arising from the consortium operations.
Chevron believes that this lawsuit lacks legal or factual merit. As to matters of law, the company believes first, that the court lacks jurisdiction over Chevron; second, that the law under which plaintiffs bring the action, enacted in 1999, cannot be applied retroactively to Chevron; third, that the claims are barred by the statute of limitations in Ecuador; and, fourth, that the lawsuit is also barred by the releases from liability previously given to Texpet by the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador. With regard to the facts, the Company believes that the evidence confirms that Texpet’s remediation was properly conducted and that the remaining environmental damage reflects Petroecuador’s failure to timely fulfill its legal obligations and Petroecuador’s further conduct since assuming full control over the operations.
Recently, a mining engineer appointed by the court to identify and determine the cause of environmental damage, and to specify steps needed to remediate it, issued a report recommending that the court assess $8 billion, which would, according to the engineer, provide financial compensation for purported damages, including wrongful death claims, and pay for, among other items, environmental remediation, healthcare systems, and additional infrastructure for Petroecuador. The engineer’s report also asserts that an additional $8.3 billion could be assessed against Chevron for unjust enrichment. The engineer’s report is not binding on the court. Chevron also believes that the engineer’s work was performed, and his report prepared, in a manner contrary to law and in violation of the court’s orders. Chevron intends to move to strike the report and otherwise continue a vigorous defense against any attempted imposition of liability. For the reasons indicated above, Chevron does not believe the engineer’s report furnishes a basis for calculating Chevron’s potential exposure in this case.None
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
Chevron is a major fully integrated petroleum company with a diversified business portfolio, strong balance sheet, and 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.
 
Information about risk factors for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008, does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of Chevron’s 2007 Annual Report onForm 10-K/A.
