CAUTIONARY STATEMENT RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
FOR THE PURPOSE OF “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Chevron Corporation contains forward-looking statements relating to Chevron’s operations that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the petroleum, chemicals and other energy-related industries. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “schedules,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. 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 the forward-looking statements are crude oil and natural gas prices; refining margins and marketing margins; chemicals prices and competitive conditions affecting supply and demand for aromatics, olefins and additives products; actions of competitors; the competitiveness of alternate energy sources or product substitutes; technological developments; the results of operations and financial condition of equity affiliates; inability or failure of the company’s joint-venture partners to fund their share of operations and development activities; potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude oil and natural gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction orstart-up of planned projects; potential disruption or interruption of the company’s net production or manufacturing facilities due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest or severe weather; potential liability for remedial actions under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant investment or product changes under existing or future environmental statutes, regulations and litigation; potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; the company’s acquisition or disposition of assets; government-mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations or restrictions on scope of company operations; the effects of changed accounting standards under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” on pages 31 and 32 of the company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, such statements could be affected by general domestic and international economic and political conditions. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed herein also could have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chevron Corporation and its subsidiaries (the company) have not been audited by independent accountants. In the opinion of the company’s management, the interim data include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, except for the items described in Note 2.
Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.
Note 2. | Acquisition of Unocal Corporation |
On August 10, 2005, the company acquired Unocal Corporation, an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Unocal’s principal upstream operations were in North America and Asia, including the Caspian region. Also located in Asia were Unocal’s geothermal energy and electrical power businesses. Other activities included ownership interests in proprietary and common carrier pipelines, natural gas storage facilities and mining operations.
The aggregate purchase price of Unocal was $17.3 billion. A third-party appraisal firm was engaged to assist the company in the process of determining the fair values of Unocal’s tangible and intangible assets. This valuation process has been completed. The final allocation of the purchase price to other assets and liabilities acquired has also been completed.
The acquisition was accounted for under the rules of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 141,“Business Combinations.”The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to Unocal’s assets and liabilities:
Millions of dollars | |||||
Current assets | $ | 3,573 | |||
Investments and long-term receivables | 1,695 | ||||
Properties | 17,285 | ||||
Goodwill | 4,820 | ||||
Other assets | 2,174 | ||||
Total assets acquired | 29,547 | ||||
Current liabilities | (2,364 | ) | |||

Other liabilities | (3,494 | ) | |||
Total liabilities assumed | (12,259 | ) | |||
Net assets acquired | $ | 17,288 | |||
The $4.8 billion of goodwill, which represents benefits of the acquisition that are additional to the fair values of the other net assets acquired, is assigned to the upstream segment. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill balance as of June 30, 2006, was reviewed for possible impairment according to the requirements of FASB Statement No. 142,“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and was determined not to be impaired.

Note 4. | 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, downstream, chemicals and all other. The first three of these groupings represent the company’s “reportable segments” and “operating segments” as defined in FAS 131,“Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”
The segments are separately managed for investment purposes under a structure that includes “segment managers” who report to the company’s “chief operating decision maker” (CODM) (terms as defined in FAS 131). The CODM is the company’s Executive Committee, a committee of senior officers that includes the chief executive officer, and that in turn reports to the Board of Directors of Chevron Corporation.
The operating segments represent components of the company as described in FAS 131 terms that engage in activities (a) from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred; (b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM, which makes decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance; and (c) for which discrete financial information is available.
Segment managers for the reportable segments are directly accountable to and maintain regular contact with the company’s CODM for the monitoring of 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 on other committees for purposes other than acting as the CODM.
“All Other” activities include the company’s interest in Dynegy Inc. (Dynegy), mining operations of coal and other minerals, power generation businesses, worldwide cash management and debt financing activities, corporate administrative functions, insurance operations, real estate activities and technology companies.
The company’s primary country of operation is the United States of America, its country of domicile. Other components of the company’s operations are reported as “International” (outside the United States).

Note 5. Restructuring and Reorganization
In connection with the Unocal acquisition, the company implemented a restructuring and reorganization program as part of the effort to capture the synergies of the combined companies. The program is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2006 and is aimed at eliminating redundant operations, consolidating offices and facilities and sharing common services and functions.
As part of the restructuring and reorganization, approximately 600 employees were eligible for severance payments. Most of the associated positions were in the United States and related primarily to corporate and upstream executive and administrative functions. By the end of the second quarter 2006, approximately 500 of these employees had been terminated.
In connection with this restructuring and reorganization, an accrual of $106 million was established as part of the purchase accounting for the Unocal acquisition. Activity through first half of 2006 for this accrual is shown in the table below. The balance at June 30, 2006, was classified as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Note 8. | Income Taxes |
Taxes on income for the second quarter and first half of 2006 were $4 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively, compared with $2.8 billion and $5.0 billion for the comparable periods in 2005. The associated effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2006 and 2005 were 48 percent and 43 percent, respectively. The primary reason for the higher tax rates in 2006 was that proportionally more income was earned in 2006 than in 2005 in countries with high tax rates.
Note 9. | Stock Options and Other Share-Based Compensation |
Effective July 1, 2005, the company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 123R,“Share-Based Payment,” (FAS 123R) for its share-based compensation plans. The company previously accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,“Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,”(APB 25)

and related interpretations and disclosure requirements established by FAS 123,“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”
The company adopted FAS 123R using the modified prospective method and accordingly, results for prior periods were not restated. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units and restricted stock units for periods prior to adoption of FAS 123R.

During the second quarter of 2006, the company implemented the transition method of FASB Staff Position FAS 123R-3 (FSP FAS 123R-3),“Transition Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards,”for calculating the beginning balance of the pool of excess tax benefits related to employee compensation and determining the subsequent impact on the pool of employee awards that were fully vested and outstanding upon the adoption of FAS 123R. The company’s reported tax expense for the periods subsequent to the implementation of FAS 123R was not affected by this election.
Note 10. | Employee Benefits |
The company has defined benefit pension plans for many employees. The company typically pre-funds 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 tax-exempt plans subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) minimum funding standard. The company does not typically fund domestic nonqualified tax-exempt pension plans that are not subject to funding requirements under laws and regulations because contributions to these pension plans may be less economic and investment returns may be less attractive than the company’s other investment alternatives.
The 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. For retiree medical coverage in the company’s main U.S. plan, the increase to the company contributions is limited to no more than 4 percent each year, effective at retirement. Certain life insurance benefits are paid by the company and annual contributions are based on actual plan experience.

At the end of 2005, the company estimated it would contribute $300 million and $200 million to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively, during 2006. Through June 30, 2006, a total of $183 million was contributed, including $92 million to the U.S. plans. Estimated contributions for the full year continue to be $500 million, but 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 half of 2006, the company contributed $104 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. The company anticipates contributing an additional $116 million during the remainder of 2006.
In June 2006, the company announced changes to several of its U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans, primarily merging benefits under several Unocal plans into related Chevron plans. Under the pension plan combinations, former-Unocal employees who retire effective on or after July 1, 2006, will receive
16
Table of Contents
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
retirement benefits under the applicable Chevron plan provisions, giving recognition to the employees’ Unocal pay and service history. Pension benefits under the Chevron plan will not be less than employees would have received under the Unocal retirement plan provisions. For the postretirement benefit plans, former Unocal employees who retire effective on or after July 1, 2006, will receive benefits under the company’s primary U.S. postretirement benefit plan. Unocal employees who retired prior to July 1, 2006, and are participating in the Unocal postretirement medical plan will be merged into the Chevron primary U.S. plan effective January 1, 2007. In addition, the company’s contributions for Medicare-eligible Unocal retirees under the Chevron plan will be increased in 2007 in conjunction with the merger of former-Unocal participants into the Chevron plan.
Chevron’s U.S. plan obligations were remeasured using updated demographic data and assumptions as of July 1, 2006, to reflect the changes discussed above. This remeasurement reduced the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $105 million and had an insignificant impact on the pension projected benefit obligation as of July 1, 2006. The estimated impact on net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs for the remainder of 2006 was likewise insignificant.
Note 11. | Accounting for Suspended Exploratory Wells |
The company accounts for the cost of exploratory wells in accordance with FASB Staff Position FAS 19-1,“Accounting for 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 June 30, 2006, was approximately $1.3 billion, an increase of about $180 million from year-end 2005 due mainly to drilling activity in the United States. For the category of exploratory well costs at year-end 2005 that were suspended more than one year, a total of $70 million was expensed in the first half of 2006.
Note 12. | Asset Retirement Obligations |
As of June 30, 2006, the company’s liability for asset retirement obligations calculated in accordance with FASB Statement No. 143,“Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,”was approximately $5.4 billion, compared with $4.3 billion at year-end 2005. The $1.1 billion increase included approximately $800 million associated with estimated costs to dismantle and abandon wells and facilities damaged by last year’s hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. The offset to the $800 million increase in the abandonment liability was recorded to operating expense, net of approximately $400 million recoverable under the company’s insurance policies. A reasonable estimate of the abandonment costs could be made in the second quarter 2006 after engineering and underwater site-survey studies were substantially completed. The total amount was significantly higher than abandonment costs previously recorded due to the extensive damage to the assets and the additional work that would be necessary for their proper dismantlement and abandonment.
Note 13. | Litigation |
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 more than 70 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 seepage of MTBE into groundwater. Resolution of these actions may ultimately require the company to correct or ameliorate the alleged effects on the environment of prior release of MTBE by the company or other parties. Additional lawsuits and claims related to the use of MTBE, including personal-injury claims, may be filed in the future.
The company’s ultimate exposure related to these lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable, but could be material to net income in any one period. The company does not use MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.

Note 14. | Other Contingencies and Commitments |
Income Taxes The U.S. federal income tax liabilities have been settled through 1996 for Chevron Corporation (formerly ChevronTexaco Corporation) and 1997 for Chevron Global Energy Inc. (formerly Caltex Corporation), Unocal Corporation (Unocal), and Texaco Inc. (Texaco). California franchise tax liabilities have been settled through 1991 for Chevron, 1998 for Unocal and through 1987 for Texaco.
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.
Guarantees The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contingent liabilities with respect to guarantees, direct or indirect, of debt of affiliated companies or others and long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, throughput agreements and take-or-pay agreements, some of which relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. 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 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 contingent liabilities relating to long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, throughput agreements, and take-or-pay agreements, some of which relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide goods and services, such as pipeline and storage capacity, 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 Oil Company (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 maximum future payments up to $300 million. Through June 30, 2006, the company paid $48 million under these indemnities and continues to be obligated for possible additional indemnification payments in the future.
The company has also provided indemnities relating to contingent environmental liabilities related to assets originally contributed by Texaco to the Equilon and Motiva joint ventures and environmental conditions that existed prior to the formation of Equilon and Motiva or that occurred during the period of Texaco’s ownership interests in the joint ventures. In general, the environmental conditions or events that are subject to these indemnities must have arisen prior to December 2001. Claims relating to Equilon indemnities must be asserted either as early as February 2007, or no later than February 2009, and claims relating to Motiva must be asserted no later than February 2012. 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 these 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 of Unocal’s 76 Products Company business that existed prior to its sale in 1997. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments by the company; however, the purchaser shares certain costs under this indemnity up to an aggregate cap of $200 million. Claims relating to these indemnities must be asserted by April 2022. Through June 30, 2006, about $123 million had been applied to the cap. In addition, payments totaling $83 million have been made by either Unocal or Chevron that are not subject to the cap.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Minority Interests The company has commitments of $231 million related to minority interests in subsidiary companies.
Environmental The company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemical 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.
Global Operations Chevron and its affiliates conduct business activities in approximately 180 countries. Areas in which the company and its affiliates have significant operations or ownership interests include the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, Republic of the Congo, Angola, Nigeria, Chad, South Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Myanmar, Singapore, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago and South Korea. The company’s Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) affiliate operates in Russia and Kazakhstan. The company’s Tengizchevroil (TCO) affiliate operates in Kazakhstan. Through an affiliate, the company participates in the operation of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. Also through an affiliate, the company has an interest in the Chad/Cameroon pipeline. The company’s Petrolera Ameriven affiliate operates the Hamaca project in Venezuela. The company’s Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) affiliate manufactures and markets a wide range of petrochemicals on a worldwide basis, with manufacturing facilities in the United States, Puerto Rico, Singapore, China, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Mexico and Belgium.
The company’s operations, particularly exploration and production, can be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which it operates, including the United States. As has occurred in the past, actions could be taken by host governments to increase public ownership of the company’s partially or wholly owned businesses or assets or to impose additional taxes or royalties on the company’s operations or both.
In certain locations, host governments have imposed restrictions, controls and taxes, and in others, political conditions have existed that may threaten the safety of employees and the company’s continued presence in those countries. Internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a host government and the company or other governments may affect the company’s operations. Those developments have at times significantly affected the company’s related operations and results and are carefully considered by management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries.
Equity 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 in 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. Chevron currently estimates its maximum possible net before-tax liability at approximately $200 million. At the same time, a possible maximum net amount that could be owed to Chevron is estimated at about $50 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, host 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 15. | New Accounting Standards |
EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty” (Issue 04-13). The company adopted the accounting prescribed by Issue 04-13 on a prospective basis from April 1, 2006. Issue 04-13 requires that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty, including buy/sell transactions, be combined and considered as a single arrangement for purposes of applying the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29,“Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” when the transactions are entered into “in contemplation” of one another. In prior periods, the company accounted for buy/sell transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income the same as a monetary transaction — purchases were reported as “Purchased crude oil and products”; sales were reported as “Sales and other operating revenues.”
With the company’s adoption of Issue 04-13, buy/sell transactions beginning in the second quarter 2006 are netted against each other on the Consolidated Statement of Income, with no effect on net income. Amounts associated with buy/sell transactions in periods prior to the second quarter 2006 are shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income on page 3.
EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (Issue 06-3). In June 2006, the FASB ratified the earlier EITF consensus on Issue 06-3, which will become effective for the company on January 1, 2007. The new accounting standard requires that a company disclose its policy for recording taxes assessed by a governmental authority on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company is required to disclose the amounts of those taxes. The company’s policy in relation to Issue 06-3 is to present the relevant taxes on a gross basis. The associated amounts are shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income on page 3.
FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which will become effective for the company on January 1, 2007. This standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. A company can only recognize the tax position in the financial statements if the position is more-likely-than-not to be upheld on audit based only on the technical merits of the tax position. This accounting standard also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial-statement comparability among different companies. The company does not expect implementation of the standard will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.

In July 2006, the United Kingdom enacted an increase in the corporation tax on oil and gas companies in the U.K. North Sea, which effectively increased the tax rate from 40 percent to 50 percent. The changes are effective from January 1, 2006. The company will record a one-time charge of approximately $200 million in the third quarter 2006 to adjust deferred tax balances as of the effective date and to recognize the effect of the incremental tax for the first half of 2006. The effect of the incremental tax rate on earnings in the second half of 2006 is estimated at $80 million.

Net incomefor the 2006 second quarter was $4.4 billion ($1.97 per share — diluted), compared with $3.7 billion ($1.76 per share — diluted) in the 2005 second quarter. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $8.3 billion ($3.77 per share — diluted), vs. $6.4 billion ($3.04 per share — diluted) in the 2005 first half. In the following discussion, the term “earnings” is defined as segment income.
Upstreamearnings in the second quarter 2006 were $3.3 billion, compared with $2.8 billion in the year-ago period. Earnings for the first half of 2006 were $6.7 billion, vs. $5.2 billion a year earlier. Results for the quarterly and six-month periods benefited mainly from higher average prices for crude oil. Also contributing to the earnings improvement for the quarter and six months was a 10 percent increase in net oil-equivalent production from the comparative periods in 2005. The production increase was due to the acquisition of Unocal Corporation in August 2005. (Refer to Note 2 on page 7 for a discussion of the Unocal acquisition.)
Downstreamearnings were $1 billion in the second quarter 2006, up 2 percent from a year earlier. Six-month 2006 earnings were $1.6 billion, vs. $1.4 billion in the corresponding 2005 period. In both comparative periods, profits increased in the United States, butnon-U.S. earnings were lower.
Chemicalssegment income was up 12 percent from the 2005 second quarter to $94 million. Earnings for the first half of 2006 were $247 million, up from $221 million a year earlier.

Business Environment and Outlook |
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 chemical business and other activities and investments. Earnings for the company in any period may also be influenced by events or transactions that are infrequent and/or unusual in nature. Chevron and the oil and gas industry at large are currently experiencing an increase in certain costs that exceeds the general trend of inflation in many areas of the world. This increase in cost also is affecting the level of the company’s capital expenditures, particularly in the upstream business.
The company’s long-term competitive position, particularly given the capital-intensive and commodity-based nature of the industry, is closely associated with the company’s ability to invest in projects that provide adequate financial returns and to manage operating expenses effectively. Creating and maintaining an inventory of investment projects depends on many factors, including obtaining rights to explore for crude oil and natural gas, developing and producing hydrocarbons in promising areas, drilling successfully, bringing long-lead-time capital-intensive projects to completion on budget and on schedule, and operating mature upstream properties efficiently and profitably.
The company also continuously 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 disposition and restructuring may occur in future periods and could result in significant gains or losses.
Comments related to the trend in earnings for the company’s major business areas are as follows:
UpstreamEarnings 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 damages and disruptions, competing fuel prices, and regional supply interruptions 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.
During 2005, industry price levels for West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a benchmark crude oil, averaged $57 per barrel. Prices trended upward in the first half of 2006, with WTI averaging over $70 per barrel for the second quarter and $67 for the six months. The average price during July 2006 was $74 per barrel. The rise in crude oil prices reflects, among other things, a heightened level of geopolitical uncertainty in some areas of the world, strong worldwide demand, and supply concerns in key producing regions.
During 2005 and the first-half 2006, a wide differential in price existed between high quality, light-sweet crude oils (such as the U.S. benchmark WTI) and heavier types of crude. The price for heavier crudes has been dampened because of ample supply and lower relative demand due to the limited number of refineries that are able to process this lower-quality feedstock into light products (i.e., motor gasoline, jet fuel, aviation gasoline and diesel fuel). The price for the higher-quality light oil, on the other hand, has remained high, as the demand for light products, which can be manufactured by any refinery from light oil, has been strong worldwide. Chevron produces 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 32 for the company’s average U.S. and international crude oil prices.)
U.S. benchmark prices for Henry Hub natural gas averaged $6.90 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the first half of 2006, compared with about $6.70 for the corresponding 2005 period. Fluctuations in the price for natural gas in the United States are closely associated with the volumes produced in North America and the
23
Table of Contents
inventory in underground storage relative to customer demand. Natural gas prices in the United States are also typically higher during the winter period, when demand for heating is greatest.
In contrast to the United States, certain other regions of the world in which the company operates have different supply, demand and regulatory circumstances for natural gas, typically resulting in significantly lower average sales prices for the company’s production. (Refer to page 32 for the company’s average natural gas prices 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 and the difficulties in transporting 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 price for crude oil and natural gas, the longer-term trend in earnings for the upstream segment is also a function of other factors, including changes in the company’s crude oil and natural gas production levels, changes in tax rates, the cost of goods and services, and the company’s ability to find or acquire and efficiently produce crude oil and natural gas reserves.
With regard to the company’s level of net oil-equivalent production, approximately 25 percent of the company’s production in the first half of 2006, including volumes from oil sands in Canada and production under an operating service agreement in Venezuela, occurred in the OPEC-member countries of Indonesia, Nigeria and Venezuela and in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Although the company’s production level during the first six months of 2006 was not constrained in these areas by OPEC quotas, future production could be affected by OPEC-imposed limitations.
In 2005, the Venezuelan government stipulated that Chevron’s Boscan andLL-652 operating service agreements be converted to Empresas Mixtas (i.e., joint stock contractual structures), with Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) as majority shareholder. Chevron signed definitive agreements for the contract conversions in July 2006 and expects the two Empresa Mixta companies will be formed during the third quarter after several additional administrative activities are completed. Upon formation of the Empresa Mixta companies, Chevron will report its equity share of the Boscan andLL-652 production, which will be approximately 90,000 barrels per day less than what the company previously reported under the operating service agreements. The financial implications of the Empresa Mixta structure are not expected to have a material effect on the company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity.
In certain onshore areas of Nigeria, approximately 30,000 barrels per day of the company’s net production capacity remains shut in because of civil unrest and damages to facilities that occurred in 2003. The company has adopted a phased plan to restore this capacity as conditions permit.
In the first-half 2006, the company’s worldwide oil-equivalent production averaged 2.66 million barrels per day, including the volumes produced from oil sands in Canada and the production associated with the operating service agreements in Venezuela. In the second half of 2006, the company expects daily production will average approximately 2.60 million barrels per day. This estimate for the last six months of the year includes the90,000-barrel-per-day effect of the Empresa Mixta conversions in Venezuela, partially offset by production increases elsewhere in the portfolio. The estimate also includes the impact on production volumes associated with cost-recovery and variable-royalty provisions of certain contracts.
Any estimate of future production is subject to many uncertainties, including quotas that may be imposed by OPEC, the price effect on production volumes calculated under cost-recovery and variable-royalty provisions of certain contracts, 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
24
Table of Contents
economic investment opportunities and, for new large-scale projects, the time lag between initial exploration and the beginning of production. Most of Chevron’s upstream investment is currently being made outside the United States. Investments in upstream projects generally are made well in advance of the start of the associated crude oil and natural gas production.
Refer also to the Results of Operations on pages 26 - 27 for additional discussion of U.S. and international production trends.
DownstreamEarnings for the downstream segment are closely tied to global and regional supply and demand for refined products and the associated effects on industry refining and marketing margins. The company’s core marketing areas are the West Coast of North America, the U.S. Gulf Coast, Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Earnings improved during the first half of 2006, mainly as the result of higher average margins for refined products and improved operations at the company’s refineries. Industry margins in the future may be volatile, due primarily to changes in the price of crude oil used for refinery feedstock, disruptions at refineries resulting from maintenance programs and mishaps, and levels of inventory and demand for refined products.
Other influences on the company’s profitability in this segment include the operating efficiencies and expenses of the refinery network, including the effects of any downtime due to planned and unplanned maintenance or severe weather, refinery upgrade projects and operating incidents. The level of operating expenses for the downstream segment can also be affected by the volatility of charter expenses for the company’s shipping operations, which are driven by the industry’s demand for crude-oil and product tankers. Other factors affecting the company’s downstream profitability that are beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation and energy costs to operate the refinery network.
Refer also to the Results of Operations on pages 27 - 28 for additional discussion of downstream earnings.
ChemicalsEarnings in the petrochemical business are closely tied to global chemical demand, industry inventory levels and plant capacity utilization. Additionally, feedstock and fuel costs, which tend to follow crude oil and natural gas price movements, influence earnings in this segment.
Refer also to the Results of Operations on page 28 for additional discussion of chemical earnings.
Operating Developments |
Noteworthy operating developments and events in recent months included the following:
• | Angola — Production of first crude oil from the offshore Lobito Field. The Benguela, Belize, Lobito and Tomboco fields form the 31 percent-owned and operated BBLT Development. As additional fields and wells are added over the next two years, BBLT’s maximum production is expected to reach approximately 200,000 barrels of oil per day. | |
• | United Kingdom — Production of first crude oil from the 85 percent-owned and operated Area C Project in the Captain Field. Eventual maximum production for the project is estimated at 15,000 barrels per day. | |
• | Azerbaijan — Participation in the first shipment of crude oil through the 8.9 percent-owned Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline. The initial crude is being supplied by the Azerbaijan International Oil Company, in which Chevron has a 10.3 percent interest. | |
• | Brazil — Commitment to develop the 52 percent-owned and operated offshore Frade Field. Initial production is targeted by early 2009, with a maximum annual rate for the project estimated at 85,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day. | |

U.S. Upstream Income | $901 | $972 | $2,115 | $1,739 | ||||
U.S. upstream income of $901 million decreased $71 million from the second quarter 2005. The decline was due mainly to about $300 million of charges in the 2006 period for additional uninsured costs associated with the dismantlement or repair of wells and facilities damaged by last year’s hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. Other operating expenses were also higher between periods. Second quarter 2006 earnings benefited approximately $370 million from higher prices for crude oil. A 4 percent increase in net oil-equivalent production also contributed to earnings in the period.
Six-month earnings were $2.1 billion, compared with $1.7 billion a year earlier. Higher average prices for crude oil and natural gas increased earnings about $800 million between periods. Also benefiting earnings for the first-half 2006 was a 4 percent increase in oil-equivalent production. Partially offsetting these benefits were higher operating expenses, including hurricane-related charges.
The average liquids realization in the second quarter was $60.07 per barrel, up from $44.07. For the comparable six-month periods, the average realization of $56.82 was up 37 percent from $41.44. The average natural gas realization for the second quarter 2006 was $5.89 per thousand cubic feet, compared with $6.31 in the 2005 quarter.Year-to-date, the average realization was $6.66 compared with $6.04 in 2005.
Net oil-equivalent production was 768,000 barrels per day in the second quarter 2006 and 759,000 in the first half. Both periods were 4 percent higher than in 2005 due to volumes added from the former Unocal operations. This production increase was partially offset by the effects of normal field declines and production that was offline due to the hurricane damages. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production was down 2 percent to 463,000 barrels per day for the quarter and relatively flat at 458,000 for the first half. Net natural gas production for the second quarter and first-half 2006 averaged 1.8 billion cubic feet per day, up 13 percent and 12 percent, respectively, from the year-ago periods.

International upstream income of about $2.4 billion in the second quarter 2006 increased $571 million from the 2005 period. Higher prices for crude oil and natural gas benefited earnings approximately $740 million. Also contributing to the earnings improvement was a 13 percent increase in oil-equivalent

production. Partially offsetting these effects were higher operating expenses. Foreign currency effects decreased earnings by $96 million in the second quarter 2006, compared with a benefit to earnings of $57 million in the year-ago period. This change between periods was primarily due to the strengthening of the currencies of the United Kingdom and Thailand against the U.S. dollar.
For the six-month period, income was $4.6 billion, up $1.2 billion from the 2005 first half. An approximate benefit of $1.3 billion in the 2006 period was associated with higher prices for crude oil and natural gas. An increase in oil-equivalent production of 12 percent also contributed to earnings. Partially offsetting these benefits were charges in the first quarter for a settlement of a tax claim in Venezuela and write-offs associated with the Hebron project offshore eastern Canada. Operating expenses were also higher in the first-half 2006. Foreign currency effects reduced earnings $219 million in the 2006 period, vs. a $39 million benefit to earnings in 2005. This change between periods was again due to strengthening of the U.K. and Thailand currencies.
The average liquids realization for the second quarter 2006 was $62.24 per barrel, an increase of 38 percent from $45.19 in the 2005 period. For the first half of 2006, the average realization was $58.60 compared with $42.81 for the six months of 2005. The average natural gas realization in the 2006 second quarter was $3.82 per thousand cubic feet, up from $3.01 in the second quarter last year. Between six-month periods, the average natural gas realization increased 27 percent to $3.80.
Net oil-equivalent production, including volumes from oil sands in Canada and an operating service agreement in Venezuela, for both the second quarter and first-half 2006 was 1.9 million barrels per day, up 13 and 12 percent, respectively, from the corresponding periods in 2005 due to volumes associated with the Unocal acquisition. The second-quarter production increase was net of the effects of maintenance activities at the Athabasca oil sands project in Canada and the Captain Field in the United Kingdom and lower cost-oil recovery volumes in Indonesia. The six-month production increase was also offset by reduced output due to equipment repairs at facilities in Kazakhstan. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production for both the quarter and first-half 2006 was 1.4 million barrels per day, an increase of 3 percent in both periods. Net natural gas production was 3.2 billion cubic feet per day for the 2006 quarter and six months, up 50 percent and 49 percent from the year-ago periods, respectively.

For the first-half 2006, earnings were $764 million, compared with $456 million in the corresponding 2005 period. Earnings for both comparative periods increased primarily as a result of higher refined-product margins and improved refinery utilization.
Crude oil inputs of 935,000 barrels per day to the company’s refineries were up about 3 percent in the 2006 second quarter. Crude oil inputs of 937,000 barrels per day in the first half increased about 6 percent from the corresponding period last year. Refined-product sales decreased 3 percent to 1,468,000 barrels per day in the 2006 second quarter due to a prospective accounting change effective April 1 related to certain purchase and sale contracts with the same counterparty.

International downstream income of $444 million decreased $134 million from the second quarter 2005. Earnings for the six months of 2006 were $814 million, down $115 million from the 2005 first half. The decrease in both periods resulted from higher average income tax rates and increased operating expenses, which more than offset the benefit of higher refined-product margins and improved refinery utilization.
The company’s share of refinery crude-oil inputs were 1,063,000 barrels per day for the second quarter 2006 and 1,073,000 for the six-month period. Volumes in each period were up about 6 percent from a year earlier. Total refined-product sales volumes were 2,100,000 barrels per day in the 2006 second quarter. After adjusting for the effect of the new accounting standard, refined product sales were approximately 4 percent lower in the 2006 quarter and lower by about 1 percent for theyear-to-date period compared with the prior-year periods. The decrease in sales for the second quarter was primarily due to lower gasoline sales in Asia-Pacific and Europe and lower fuel oil sales.

Chemical operations earned $94 million in the second quarter 2006, compared with $84 million in the 2005 period. For the six months, earnings increased $26 million to $247 million. The earnings improvement in both periods was the result of higher margins for commodity chemicals at the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC affiliate and improved margins also for additives sold by the company’s Oronite subsidiary for use in fuels and lubricating oils. Partially offsetting these benefits were higher average income tax rates between periods.

Net charges were $11 million in the second quarter 2006, compared with $148 million in the corresponding 2005 period. Net charges for the six months of 2006 were $206 million, vs. $396 million in 2005. The decrease in net charges in the second quarter andyear-to-date periods was partly associated with improved Dynegy-related results, which included a gain on the redemption of the company’s investment in Dynegy preferred stock. The company also recorded a gain on the retirement of $1.5 billion of Unocal debt. Foreign currency effects also contributed to the reduction in net charges for both comparative periods.

The primary reason for the higher tax rates in 2006 was that proportionally more income was earned in 2006 than in 2005 in countries with high tax rates.
Information Relating to the Company’s Investment in Dynegy |
At June 30, 2006, Chevron owned an approximate 20 percent equity interest in the common stock of Dynegy Inc. (Dynegy), a provider of electricity to markets and customers throughout the United States.
Investment in Dynegy Common StockAt June 30, 2006, the carrying value of the company’s investment in Dynegy common stock was $263 million. This amount was about $170 million below the company’s proportionate interest in Dynegy’s underlying net assets. This difference is primarily the result of write-downs of the investment in 2002 for declines in the market value of the common shares below the company’s carrying value that were determined to be other than temporary. The difference had been assigned to the extent practicable to specific Dynegy assets and liabilities, based upon the company’s analysis of the various factors associated with the decline in value of the Dynegy shares. The company’s equity share of Dynegy’s reported earnings is adjusted quarterly when appropriate to recognize a portion of the difference between these allocated values and Dynegy’s historical book values. The market value of the company’s investment in Dynegy’s common stock at June 30, 2006, was $530 million.
Investment in Dynegy Preferred StockIn May 2006, the company’s investment in Dynegy Series C preferred stock was redeemed at its face value of $400 million. Upon redemption of the preferred stock, the company recorded a gain of $130 million, of which $105 million was reclassified from “Other Comprehensive Income.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $11.1 billion at June 30, 2006, unchanged from year-end 2005. Cash provided by operating activities was $11.9 billion in the first six months of 2006. Operating activities in the first half of 2006 generated funds for the company’s capital and exploratory program, payment of dividends to stockholders, repayment of debt and repurchase of common stock.
Dividends The company paid dividends of $2.1 billion to common stockholders during the first six months of 2006.
Debt and Capital Lease and Minority Interest Obligations Chevron’s total debt and capital lease obligations were $10.3 billion at June 30, 2006, vs. $12.9 billion at December 31, 2005. The company also had minority interest obligations of $231 million at June 30, 2006. In the second quarter of 2006, the company redeemed approximately $1.7 billion of Unocal debt and recognized a $92 million before-tax gain. In the first quarter of 2006, $185 million of Union Oil of California bonds were retired at maturity.
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 $4.9 billion at June 30, 2006, down from $5.6 billion at December 31, 2005. Of these amounts, $4.9 billion was reclassified to long-term at both June 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005. At June 30, 2006, 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. The company’s practice has been to continually refinance its commercial paper, maintaining levels it believes appropriate and economic.
At June 30, 2006, the company had $4.9 billion in committed credit facilities with various major banks, which permitted 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 June 30, 2006. In addition, the company has three existing effective “shelf” registrations on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission that together would permit additional registered debt offerings up to an aggregate $3.8 billion of debt securities.
Chevron’s senior debt is rated AA by Standard and Poor’s Corporation and Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Service. The senior debt of Texaco Capital Inc. is rated Aa2, and the Union Oil of California bonds are rated A1 by Moody’s. These companies are wholly owned subsidiaries of Chevron. The company’s U.S. commercial paper is ratedA-1+ by Standard and Poor’s andP-1 by Moody’s, and the company’s Canadian commercial paper is ratedR-1 (middle) by Dominion Bond Rating Service. 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. Further reductions from debt balances at June 30, 2006, are dependent upon many factors including management’s continuous assessment of debt as an appropriate component of the company’s overall capital structure. The company believes it has substantial borrowing capacity to meet unanticipated cash requirements, and, during periods of low prices for crude oil and natural gas and narrow margins for refined products and commodity chemicals, the company believes that it has the flexibility to increase borrowings and/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 December 2005, the company authorized the acquisition of up to $5 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. During the second quarter 2006, 21.8 million shares were purchased in the open market at a cost of $1.3 billion. From the inception of the program in December 2005
33
Table of Contents
through July 2006, the company had purchased 44.1 million shares for $2.6 billion. The company expects to complete the $5 billion stock buyback program by the end of 2006.
Current Ratio — current assets divided by current liabilities. The current ratio was 1.4 at June 30, 2006, unchanged from December 31, 2005. The current ratio is adversely affected by the valuation of Chevron’s inventories on a LIFO basis. At year-end 2005, the book value of inventory was lower than replacement costs, based on average acquisition costs during the year, by approximately $4.8 billion. 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 13 percent at June 30, 2006, compared with 17 percent at year-end 2005.
Pension Obligations At the end of 2005, the company estimated it would contribute $300 million and $200 million to its U.S. and international pension plans, respectively, during 2006. Through June 30, 2006, a total $183 million was contributed, including approximately $90 million to the U.S. plans. Estimated contributions for the full year continue to be $500 million, but 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.
Capital and Exploratory Expenditures Total expenditures, including the company’s share of spending by affiliates, were $7.4 billion in the first six months of 2006, compared with $4.2 billion in the corresponding 2005 period. The amounts included the company’s share of equity-affiliate expenditures of about $800 million and $700 million in the 2006 and 2005 periods, respectively. Expenditures for upstream projects in 2006 were about $5.7 billion, representing 77 percent of the companywide total.

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 more than 70 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 seepage of MTBE into groundwater. Resolution of these actions 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.
34
Table of Contents
The company’s ultimate exposure related to these lawsuits and claims is not currently determinable, but could be material to net income in any one period. The company does not use MTBE in the manufacture of gasoline in the United States.
Income Taxes The U.S. federal income tax liabilities have been settled through 1996 for Chevron Corporation (formerly ChevronTexaco Corporation) and 1997 for Chevron Global Energy Inc. (formerly Caltex Corporation), Unocal Corporation (Unocal), and Texaco Inc. (Texaco). California franchise tax liabilities have been settled through 1991 for Chevron, 1998 for Unocal and through 1987 for Texaco.
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.
Guarantees The company and its subsidiaries have certain other contingent liabilities with respect to guarantees, direct or indirect, of debt of affiliated companies or others and long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, throughput agreements and take-or-pay agreements, some of which relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. 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 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 contingent liabilities relating to long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, throughput agreements, and take-or-pay agreements, some of which relate to suppliers’ financing arrangements. The agreements typically provide goods and services, such as pipeline and storage capacity, 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 Oil Company (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 maximum future payments up to $300 million. Through June 30, 2006, the company paid $48 million under these indemnities and continues to be obligated for possible additional indemnification payments in the future.
The company has also provided indemnities relating to contingent environmental liabilities related to assets originally contributed by Texaco to the Equilon and Motiva joint ventures and environmental conditions that existed prior to the formation of Equilon and Motiva or that occurred during the period of Texaco’s ownership interests in the joint ventures. In general, the environmental conditions or events that are subject to these indemnities must have arisen prior to December 2001. Claims relating to Equilon indemnities must be asserted either as early as February 2007, or no later than February 2009, and claims relating to Motiva must be asserted no later than February 2012. 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 these 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 of Unocal’s 76 Products Company business that existed prior to its sale in 1997. Under the terms of these indemnities, there is no maximum limit on the amount of potential future payments by the company; however, the purchaser shares certain costs under this indemnity up to an aggregate cap of $200 million. Claims relating to these indemnities must be asserted by April 2022. Through June 30, 2006, about $123 million had been applied to the cap. In addition, payments totaling $83 million have been made by either Unocal or Chevron that are not subject to the cap.
35
Table of Contents
Minority Interests The company has commitments of $231 million related to minority interests in subsidiary companies.
Environmental The company is subject to loss contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemical 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.
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 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.
Global Operations Chevron and its affiliates conduct business activities in approximately 180 countries. Areas in which the company and its affiliates have significant operations or ownership interests include the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, Republic of the Congo, Angola, Nigeria, Chad, South Africa, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Myanmar, Singapore, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago and South Korea. The company’s Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) affiliate operates in Russia and Kazakhstan. The company’s Tengizchevroil (TCO) affiliate operates in Kazakhstan. Through an affiliate, the company participates in the operation of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. Also through an affiliate, the company has an interest in the Chad/ Cameroon pipeline. The company’s Petrolera Ameriven affiliate operates the Hamaca project in Venezuela. The company’s Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) affiliate manufactures and markets a wide range of petrochemicals on a worldwide basis, with manufacturing facilities in the United States, Puerto Rico, Singapore, China, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Mexico and Belgium.
The company’s operations, particularly exploration and production, can be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which it operates, including the United States. As has occurred in the past, actions could be taken by host governments to increase public ownership of the company’s partially or wholly owned businesses or assets or to impose additional taxes or royalties on the company’s operations or both.
In certain locations, host governments have imposed restrictions, controls and taxes, and in others, political conditions have existed that may threaten the safety of employees and the company’s continued presence in those countries. Internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a host government and the company or other governments may affect the company’s operations. Those developments have at times significantly affected the company’s related operations and results and are carefully considered by management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries.
Equity 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 in 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. Chevron currently estimates its maximum possible net before-tax liability at approximately $200 million. At the same time, a possible maximum net amount that could be owed to Chevron is estimated at about $50 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, host 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
EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty” (Issue 04-13). The company adopted the accounting prescribed by Issue 04-13 on a prospective basis from April 1, 2006. Issue 04-13 requires that two or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same counterparty, including buy/sell transactions, be combined and considered as a single arrangement for purposes of applying the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29,“Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions,” when the transactions are entered into “in contemplation” of one another. In prior periods, the company accounted for buy/sell transactions in the Consolidated Statement of Income the same as a monetary transaction — purchases were reported as “Purchased crude oil and products”; sales were reported as “Sales and other operating revenues.”
With the company’s adoption of Issue 04-13, buy/sell transactions beginning in the second quarter 2006 are netted against each other on the Consolidated Statement of Income, with no effect on net income. Amounts associated with buy/sell transactions in periods prior to the second quarter 2006 are shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income on page 3.
EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Sales Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (Issue 06-3). In June 2006, the FASB ratified the earlier EITF consensus on Issue 06-3, which will become effective for the company on January 1, 2007. The new standard requires that a company disclose its policy for recording taxes assessed by a governmental authority on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. In addition, for any such taxes that are reported on a gross basis, a company is required to disclose the amounts of those taxes. The company’s policy in relation to Issue 06-3 is to present the relevant taxes on a gross basis. The associated amounts are shown as a footnote to the Consolidated Statement of Income on page 3.
FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which will become effective for the company on January 1, 2007. This standard clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. A company can only recognize the tax position in the financial statements if the position is more-likely-than-not to be upheld on audit based only on the technical merits of the tax position. This accounting standard also provides guidance on thresholds, measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition that is intended to provide better financial-statement comparability among different companies. The company does not expect implementation of the standard will have a material effect on its results of operations or financial position.
