Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies General Upstreamoperations consist of primarily exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; processing, liquefaction, transportation, regasification, storage and marketing associated with natural gas; transporting crude oil by major international oil-export pipelines; and a gas-to-liquids project. Downstreamoperations relate primarily to refining crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil and refined products; transporting crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and additives for fuels and lubricant oils. The companys 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 companys 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 50percent-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 20percent to 50percent 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 companys proportionate share of the dollar amount of the affiliates equity currently in income. Investments are assessed for possible impairment when events indicate that the fair value of the investment may be below the companys 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 investees financial performance, and the companys ability and intention to retain its investment for a period that will be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the investments market va |

These amounts are offset by an equal amount in Net sales (purchases)of treasury shares. The Net sales (purchases)of treasury shares represents the cost of common shares purchased less the cost of shares issued for share-based compensation plans. Purchases totaled $6, $8,011 and $7,036 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Purchases in 2008 and 2007 included shares purchased under the companys common stock repurchase programs.

The company issued $350 and $650, in 2009 and 2007 respectively, of tax exempt Mississippi Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds as a source of funds for Pascagoula Refinery projects. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for 2009 excludes changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet that did not affect cash. In 2008, Net sales (purchases)of treasury shares excludes $680 of treasury shares acquired in exchange for a U.S. upstream property and $280 in cash.

Lease Commitments [Abstract] | |
Lease Commitments | Note 8 Lease Commitments Certain noncancelable leases are classified as capital leases, and the leased assets are included as part of Properties, plant and equipment, at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Such leasing arrangements involve tanker charters, crude-oil production and processing equipment, service stations, office buildings, and other facilities. Other leases are classified as operating leases and are not capitalized. The payments on such leases are recorded as expense. Details of the capitalized leased assets are as follows: At December 31 2009 2008 Upstream $ 510 $ 491 Downstream 334 401 All other 169 169 Total 1,013 1,061 Less: Accumulated amortization 585 522 Net capitalized leased assets $ 428 $ 539 Rental expenses incurred for operating leases during 2009, 2008 and 2007 were as follows: Year ended December 31 2009 2008 2007 Minimum rentals $ 2,179 $ 2,984 $ 2,419 Contingent rentals 7 6 6 Total 2,186 2,990 2,425 Less: Sublease rental income 41 41 30 Net rental expense $ 2,145 $ 2,949 $ 2,395 Contingent rentals are based on factors other than the passage of time, principally sales volumes at leased service stations. Certain leases include escalation clauses for adjusting rentals to reflect changes in price indices, renewal options ranging up to 25years, and options to purchase the leased property during or at the end of the initial or renewal lease period for the fair market value or other specified amount at that time. At December31, 2009, the estimated future minimum lease payments (net of noncancelable sublease rentals) under operating and capital leases, which at inception had a non-cancelable term of more than one year, were as follows: At December 31 Operating Capital Leases Leases Year: 2010 568 90 2011 438 81 2012 406 87 2013 372 60 2014 347 44 Thereafter 1,233 137 Total $ 3,364 $ 499 Less: Amounts representing interest and executory costs (104 ) Net present values 395 Less: Capital lease obligations included in short-term debt (94 ) Long-term capital lease obligations $ 301 |

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 9 Fair Value Measurements Accounting standards for fair-value measurement (ASC 820) establish a framework for measuring fair value and stipulate disclosures about fair-value measurements. The standards apply to recurring and nonrecurring financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that require or permit fair-value measurements. ASC 820 became effective for Chevron on January1, 2008, for all financial assets and liabilities and recurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities. On January1, 2009, the standard became effective for nonrecurring nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Among the required disclosures is the 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. Level 3: Unobservable inputs. The company does not use Level 3 inputs for any of its recurring fair-value measurements. Level 3 inputs may be required for the determination of fair value associated with certain nonrecurring measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities. In 2009, the company used Level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of certain nonrecurring nonfinancial assets. The fair-value hierarchy for recurring assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December31, 2009, and December31, 2008, is as follows: Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Prices in Active Prices in Active Markets for Other Markets for Other Identical Observable Unobservable Identical Observable Unobservable At December 31 Assets/Liabilities Inputs Inputs At December 31 Assets/Liabilities Inputs Inputs 2009 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) 2008 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Marketable Securities $ 106 $ 106 $ $ $ 213 $ 213 $ $ Derivatives 127 14 113 805 529 276 Total Recurring Assets at Fair Value $ 233 $ 120 $ 113 $ $ 1,018 $ 742 $ 276 $ Derivatives $ 101 $ 20 $ 81 $ $ 516 $ 98 $ 418 $ Total Recurring Liabilities at Fair Va |

Financial and Derivative Instruments [Abstract] | |
Financial and Derivative Instruments | Note 10 Financial and Derivative Instruments Derivative Commodity Instruments Chevron is exposed to market risks related to price volatility of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas and refinery feedstocks. The company uses derivative commodity instruments to manage these exposures on a portion of its activity, including firm commitments and anticipated transactions for the purchase, sale and storage of crude oil, refined products, natural gas, natural gas liquids and feedstock for company refineries. From time to time, the company also uses derivative commodity instruments for limited trading purposes. The companys derivative commodity instruments principally include crude-oil, natural-gas and refined-product futures, swaps, options and forward contracts. None of the companys derivative instruments is designated as a hedging instrument, although certain of the companys affiliates make such designation. The companys derivatives are not material to the companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The company believes it has no material market or credit risks to its operations, financial position or liquidity as a result of its commodities and other derivatives activities. The company uses International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements to govern derivative contracts with certain counterparties to mitigate credit risk. Depending on the nature of the derivative transactions, bilateral collateral arrangements may also be required. When the company is engaged in more than one outstanding derivative transaction with the same counterparty and also has a legally enforceable netting agreement with that counterparty, the net mark-to-market exposure represents the netting of the positive and negative exposures with that counterparty and is a reasonable measure of the companys credit risk exposure. The company also uses other netting agreements with certain counterparties with which it conducts significant transactions to mitigate credit risk. Derivative instruments measured at fair value at December31, 2009, and December31, 2008, and their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Income are as follows: Consolidated Balance Sheet: Fair Value of Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Asset Derivatives Fair Value Liability Derivatives Fair Value Type of Balance Sheet At December 31 At December 31 Balance Sheet At December 31 At December 31 Derivative Contract Classification 2009 2008 Classification 2009 2008 Foreign Exchange Accounts and notes receivable, net $ $ 11 Accrued liabilities $ $ 89 Commodity Accounts and notes receivable, net 99 764 Accounts payable 73 344 Commodity Long-term receivables, net 28 30 Deferred credits and other noncurrent obligations 28 83 $ 127 $ 805 $ 101 $ 516 Consolidated Statement of Income: The Effect of Derivatives Not Designat |

Operating Segments and Geographic Data [Abstract] | |
Operating Segments and Geographic Data | Note 11 Operating Segments and Geographic Data Although each subsidiary of Chevron is responsible for its own affairs, Chevron Corporation manages its investments in these subsidiaries and their affiliates. The investments are grouped into two business segments, Upstream and Downstream, representing the companys reportable segments and operating segments as defined in accounting standards for segment reporting (ASC 280). Upstream operations consist primarily of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; processing, liquefaction, transportation, regasification, storage and marketing associated with natural gas; transporting crude oil by major international oil-export pipelines; and a gas-to-liquids project. Downstream operations consist primarily of refining of crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil and refined products; transporting crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, and additives for fuels and lubricant oils. All Other activities of the company include mining operations, power generation businesses, worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities, energy services, alternative fuels and technology, and the companys interest in Dynegy (through May 2007, when Chevron sold its interest). The segments are separately managed for investment purposes under a structure that includes segment managers who report to the companys chief operating decision maker (CODM) (terms as defined in ASC 280). The CODM is the companys 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 accounting standards for segment reporting (ASC 280), 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 directly accountable to and maintain regular contact with the companys CODM to discuss the segments 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.

At December31, 2009, the companys carrying value of its investment in TCO was about $200 higher than the amount of underlying equity in TCOs net assets. This difference results from Chevron acquiring a portion of its interest in TCO at a value greater than the underlying book value for that portion of TCOs net assets. |

Litigation [Abstract] | |
Litigation | Note 14 Litigation MTBE Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE)as a gasoline additive. Chevron is a party to 50 pending lawsuits and claims, the majority of which involve numerous other petroleum marketers and refiners. Resolution of these lawsuits and claims may ultimately require the company to correct or ameliorate the alleged effects on the environment of prior release of MTBE by the company or other parties. Additional lawsuits and claims related to the use of MTBE, including personal-injury claims, may be filed in the future. The companys ultimate exposure related to pending lawsuits and claims is not 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. Ecuador Chevron is a defendant in a civil lawsuit before the Superior Court of Nueva Loja in Lago Agrio, Ecuador, brought in May2003 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 Texpets ownership share of the consortium. Pursuant to that agreement, Texpet conducted a three-year remediation program at a cost of $40. After certifying that the sites were properly remediated, the government granted Texpet and all related corporate entities a full release from any and all environmental liability arising from the consortium operations. Based on the history described above, Chevron believes that this lawsuit lacks legal or factual merit. As to matters of law, the company believes first, that the court lacks jurisdiction over Chevron; second, that the law under which plaintiffs bring the action, enacted in 1999, cannot be applied retroactively; third, that the claims are barred by the statute of limitations in Ecuador; and, fourth, that the lawsuit is also barred by the releases from liability previously given to Texpet by the Republic of Ecuador and Petroecuador. With regard to the facts, the company believes that the evidence confirms that Texpets remediation was properly conducted and that the remaining environmental damage reflects Petroecuadors failure to timely fulfill its legal obligations and Petroecuadors further conduct since assuming full control over the operations.

For international operations, before-tax income was $17,218, $32,292 and $24,388 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. U.S. federal income tax expense was reduced by $204, $198 and $132 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for business tax credits. The reconciliation between the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate and the companys effective income tax rate is explained in the following table: Year ended December 31 2009 2008 2007 U.S. statutory federal income tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Effect of income taxes from international operations at rates different from the U.S. statutory rate 10.4 10.1 8.2 State and local taxes on income, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit 0.9 1.0 0.8 Prior-year tax adjustments (0.3 ) (0.1 ) 0.3 Tax credits (1.1 ) (0.5 ) (0.4 ) Effects of enacted changes in tax laws 0.1 (0.6 ) (0.3 ) Other (2.0 ) (0.7 ) (1.8 ) Effective tax rate 43.0 % 44.2 % 41.8 % The companys effective tax rate decreased from 44.2percent in 2008 to 43.0 percent in 2009. The rate was lower in 2009 mainly due to the effect of deferred tax benefits and relatively low tax rates on asset sales, both related to an international upstream project. In addition, a greater proportion of before-tax income was earned in 2009 by equity affiliates than in 2008. (Equity-affiliate income is reported as a single amount on an after-tax basis on the Consolidated Statement of Income.) Partially offsetting these items was the effect of a greater proportion of income earned in 2009 in tax jurisdictions with higher tax rates. The company records its deferred taxes on a tax-jurisdiction basis and classifies those net amounts as current or noncurrent based on the balance sheet classification of the related assets or liabilities. The reported deferred tax balances are composed of the following: At December 31 2009 2008 Deferred tax liabilities Properties, plant and equipment $ 18,545 $ 18,271 Invest |

Redeemable long-term obligations consist primarily of tax-exempt variable-rate put bonds that are included as current liabilities because they become redeemable at the option of the bondholders within one year following the balance sheet date. In 2009, $350 of tax-exempt Gulf Opportunity Zone bonds related to projects at the Pascagoula Refinery were issued. The company periodically enters into interest rate swaps on a portion of its short-term debt. At December31, 2009, the company had no interest rate swaps on short-term debt. See Note 10, beginning on page 37, for information concerning the companys debt-related derivative activities. At December31, 2009, the company had $5,100 of committed credit facilities with banks worldwide, which permit the company to refinance short-term obligations on a long-term basis. The facilities support the companys commercial paper borrowings. Interest on borrowings under the terms of specific agreements may be based on the London Interbank Offered Rate or bank prime rate. No amounts were outstanding under these credit agreements during 2009 or at year-end. At December31, 2009 and 2008, the company classified $4,190 and $4,950, respectively, of short-term debt as long-term. Settlement of these obligations is not expected to require the use of working capital in 2010, as the company has both the intent and the ability to refinance this debt on a long-term basis. |

New Accounting Standards [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards | Note 18 New Accounting Standards The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No.162 (FAS 168) In June2009, the FASB issued FAS 168, which became effective for the company in the quarter ending September30, 2009. This standard established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)system as the single authoritative source of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)and superseded existing literature of the FASB, Emerging Issues Task Force, American Institute of CPAs and other sources. The ASC did not change GAAP, but organized the literature into about 90 accounting Topics. Adoption of the ASC did not affect the companys accounting. Employers Disclosures About Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FSP FAS 132(R)-1) In December2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132(R)-1, which was subsequently codified into ASC 715, Compensation Retirement Benefits, and became effective with the companys reporting at December31, 2009. This standard amended and expanded the disclosure requirements for the plan assets of defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Refer to information beginning on page 50 in Note 21, Employee Benefits, for these disclosures. Transfers and Servicing (ASC 860), Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (ASU 2009-16) The FASB issued ASU 2009-16 in December2009. This standard became effective for the company on January 1, 2010. ASU 2009-16 changes how companies account for transfers of financial assets and eliminates the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities. Adoption of the guidance is not expected to have an impact on the companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity. Consolidation (ASC 810), Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved With Variable Interest Entities (ASU 2009-17) The FASB issued ASU 2009-17 in December2009. This standard became effective for the company January1, 2010. ASU 2009-17 requires the enterprise to qualitatively assess if it is the primary beneficiary of a variable-interest entity (VIE), and, if so, the VIE must be consolidated. Adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on the companys results of operations, financial position or liquidity. Extractive Industries Oil and Gas (ASC 932), Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures (ASU 2010-03) In January2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-03, which became effective for the company on December31, 2009. The standard amends certain sections of ASC 932, Extractive Industries Oil and Gas, to align them with the requirements in the Securities and Exchange Commissions final rule, Modernization of the Oil and Gas Reporting Requirements (the final rule). The final rule was issued on December31, 2008. Refer to Table V Reserve Quantity Information, beginning on page FS-69 in our 2009 Form 10-K, for additional information on the final rule and the impact of adoption. |

Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells [Abstract] | |
Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells | Note 19 Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells Accounting standards for the costs of exploratory wells (ASC 932) provide 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. The accounting standards provide a number of indicators that can assist an entity in demonstrating that sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and economic viability of the project. The following table indicates the changes to the companys suspended exploratory well costs for the three years ended December31, 2009: 2009 2008 2007 Beginning balance at January 1 $ 2,118 $ 1,660 $ 1,239 Additions to capitalized exploratory well costs pending the determination of proved reserves 663 643 486 Reclassifications to wells, facilities and equipment based on the determination of proved reserves (174 ) (49 ) (23 ) Capitalized exploratory well costs charged to expense (172 ) (136 ) (42 ) Ending balance at December 31 $ 2,435 $ 2,118 $ 1,660 The following table provides an aging of capitalized well costs and the number of projects for which exploratory well costs have been capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling. At December 31 2009 2008 2007 Exploratory well costs capitalized for a period of one year or less $ 564 $ 559 $ 449 Exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year 1,871 1,559 1,211 Balance at December 31 $ 2,435 $ 2,118 $ 1,660 Number of projects with exploratory well costs that have been capitalized for a period greater than one year* 46 50 54 * Certain projects have multiple wells or fields or both. Of the $1,871 of exploratory well costs capitalized for more than one year at December31, 2009, $1,143 (28 projects) is related to projects that had drilling activities under way or firmly planned for the near future. The $728 balance is related to 18 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.

Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation [Abstract] | |
Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation | Note 20 Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation Compensation expense for stock options for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $182 ($119 after tax), $168 ($109 after tax) and $146 ($95 after tax), respectively. In addition, compensation expense for stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance units and restricted stock units was $170 ($110 after tax), $132 ($86 after tax) and $205 ($133 after tax) for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. No significant stock-based compensation cost was capitalized at December31, 2009 and 2008. Cash received in payment for option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $147, $404 and $445, respectively. Actual tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises were $25, $103 and $94 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Cash paid to settle performance units and stock appreciation rights was $89, $136 and $88 for 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Chevron Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Awards under the LTIP may take the form of, but are not limited to, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and nonstock grants. From April2004 through January2014, no more than 160 million shares may be issued under the LTIP, and no more than 64million of those shares may be in a form other than a stock option, stock appreciation right or award requiring full payment for shares by the award recipient. Texaco Stock Incentive Plan (Texaco SIP) On the closing of the acquisition of Texaco in October 2001, outstanding options granted under the Texaco SIP were converted to Chevron options. These options, which have 10-year contractual lives extending into 2011, retained a provision for being restored. This provision enables a participant who exercises a stock option to receive new options equal to the number of shares exchanged or who has shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations to receive new options equal to the number of shares exchanged or withheld. The restored options are fully exercisable six months after the date of grant, and the exercise price is the market value of the common stock on the day the restored option is granted. Beginning in 2007, restored options were issued under the LTIP. No further awards may be granted under the former Texaco plans. Unocal Share-Based Plans (Unocal Plans) When Chevron acquired Unocal in August2005, outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under various Unocal Plans were exchanged for fully vested Chevron options and appreciation rights. These awards retained the same provisions as the original Unocal Plans. If not exercised, these awards will expire between early 2010 and early 2015. The fair market values of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions: Year ended December 31 2009 2008 2007 Stock Options Expected term in years1 6.0 6.1 6.3 Volat |

Employee Benefit Plans [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | Note 21 Employee Benefit Plans The company has defined benefit pension plans for many employees. The company typically prefunds defined benefit plans as required by local regulations or in certain situations where prefunding provides economic advantages. In the United States, all qualified plans are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)minimum funding standard. The company does not typically fund U.S. nonqualified pension plans that are not subject to funding requirements under laws and regulations because contributions to these pension plans may be less economic and investment returns may be less attractive than the companys other investment alternatives. The company also sponsors other postretirement (OPEB)plans that provide medical and dental benefits, as well as life insurance for some active and qualifying retired employees. The plans are unfunded, and the company and retirees share the costs. Medical coverage for Medicare-eligible retirees in the companys main U.S. medical plan is secondary to Medicare (including PartD), and the increase to the company contribution for retiree medical coverage is limited to no more than 4 percent per year. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company. Under accounting standards for postretirement benefits (ASC 715), the company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit pension and OPEB as an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The funded status of the companys pension and other postretirement benefit plans for 2009 and 2008 is on the following page: Pension Benefits 2009 2008 Other Benefits U.S. Intl.

Other Contingencies and Commitments [Abstract] | |
Other Contingencies and Commitments | Note 22 Other Contingencies and Commitments Income Taxes The company calculates its income tax expense and liabilities quarterly. These liabilities generally are subject to audit and are not finalized with the individual taxing authorities until several years after the end of the annual period for which income taxes have been calculated. Refer to Note 15 beginning on page 44 for a discussion of the periods for which tax returns have been audited for the companys major tax jurisdictions and a discussion for all tax jurisdictions of the differences between the amount of tax benefits recognized in the financial statements and the amount taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The company does not expect settlement of income tax liabilities associated with uncertain tax positions will have a material effect on its results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity. Guarantees The companys guarantee of approximately $600 is associated with certain payments under a terminal use agreement entered into by a company affiliate. The terminal is expected to be operational by 2012. Over the approximate 16-year term of the guarantee, the maximum guarantee amount will be reduced over time as certain fees are paid by the affiliate. There are numerous cross-indemnity agreements with the affiliate and the other partners to permit recovery of any amounts paid under the guarantee. Chevron has recorded no liability for its obligation under this guarantee. Indemnifications The company provided certain indemnities of contingent liabilities of Equilon and Motiva to Shell and Saudi Refining, Inc., in connection with the February2002 sale of the companys interests in those investments. The company would be required to perform if the indemnified liabilities become actual losses. Were that to occur, the company could be required to make future payments up to $300. Through the end of 2009, the company paid $48 under these indemnities and continues to be obligated for possible additional indemnification payments in the future. The company has also provided indemnities relating to contingent environmental liabilities related to assets originally contributed by Texaco to the Equilon and Motiva joint ventures and environmental conditions that existed prior to the formation of Equilon and Motiva or that occurred during the period of Texacos ownership interest in the joint ventures. In general, the environmental conditions or events that are subject to these indemnities must have arisen prior to December2001. Claims had to be asserted by February2009 for Equilon indemnities and must be asserted no later than February2012 for Motiva indemnities. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments. In February2009, Shell delivered a letter to the company purporting to preserve unmatured claims for certain Equilon indemnities. The letter itself provides no estimate of the ultimate claim amount. Management does not believe this letter or any other information provides a basis to estimate the amount, if any, of a range of loss or potential range of loss with respect to either the Equi |

Asset Retirement Obligations [Abstract] | |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Note 23 Asset Retirement Obligations In accordance with accounting standards for asset retirement obligations (ASC 410), the company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO)when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and the liability can be reasonably estimated. The legal obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty may exist about the timing and/or method of settlement that may be beyond the companys control. This uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement is factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists to reasonably estimate fair value. The legal obligations associated with the retirement of the tangible long-lived assets require recognition in certain circumstances including: (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. Accounting standards for asset retirement obligations primarily affect the companys accounting for crude-oil and natural-gas producing assets. No significant AROs associated with any legal obligations to retire Downstream long-lived assets have been recognized, as indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent estimation of the fair value of the associated ARO. The company performs periodic reviews of its downstream long-lived assets for any changes in facts and circumstances that might require recognition of a retirement obligation. The following table indicates the changes to the companys before-tax asset retirement obligations in 2009, 2008 and 2007: 2009 2008 2007 Balance at January 1 $ 9,395 $ 8,253 $ 5,773 Liabilities incurred 144 308 178 Liabilities settled (757 ) (973 ) (818 ) Accretion expense 463 430 399 * Revisions in estimated cash flows 930 1,377 2,721 Balance at December 31 $ 10,175 $ 9,395 $ 8,253 * Includes $175 for revision to the ARO liability retained on properties that had been sold. In the table above, the amounts associated with Revisions in estimated cash flows reflect increasing costs to abandon onshore and offshore wells, equipment and facilities. The long-term portion of the $10,175 balance at the end of 2009 was $9,289. |
