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 Chevrons operations that are based on managements
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 companys
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 or
start-up of planned
projects; potential disruption or interruption of the
companys 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 regulations and litigation (including,
particularly, regulations and litigation dealing with gasoline
composition and characteristics); potential liability resulting
from pending or future litigation; the companys
acquisition or disposition of assets; the effects of changed
accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles
promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth
under the heading Risk Factors on pages 31 and
32 of the companys 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
companys 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 companys 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
The results for the three-month period ended March 31, 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. Unocals principal upstream operations
are in North America and Asia, including the Caspian region.
Also located in Asia are Unocals geothermal energy and
electrical power businesses. Other activities include 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 Unocals
tangible and intangible assets. The company expects this
valuation process will be completed and the final appraisal
report issued during the second quarter 2006. Upon completion of
the final allocation of the purchase price and final
determination of the tax bases for all assets and liabilities
acquired, the calculation of the associated deferred income tax
balances will also be 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 preliminary allocation of the purchase price to
Unocals assets and liabilities:

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 will be tested periodically for impairment according to
the requirements of FASB Statement No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

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 companys 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 companys chief operating decision
maker (CODM) (terms as defined in FAS 131). 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 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
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 on other committees
for purposes other than acting as the CODM.
All Other activities include the companys
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 companys primary country of operation is the United
States of America, its country of domicile. Other components of
the companys operations are reported as
International (outside the United States).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Segment Earnings The company evaluates the performance of
its operating segments on an after-tax basis, without
considering the effects of debt financing interest expense or
investment interest income, both of which are managed by the
company on a worldwide basis. Corporate administrative costs and
assets are not allocated to the operating segments. However,
operating segments are billed for the direct use of corporate
services. Nonbillable costs remain at the corporate level in
All Other. Income by operating segment for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, is

Segment Sales and Other Operating Revenues Upstream
segment revenues are derived primarily from the production and
sale of crude oil and natural gas, as well as the sale of
third-party production of natural gas. Revenues for the
downstream segment are derived from the refining and marketing
of petroleum products such as gasoline, jet fuel, gas oils,
kerosene, lubricants, residual fuel oils and other products
derived from crude oil. This segment also generates revenues
from the transportation and trading of crude oil and refined
products. Revenues for the chemicals segment are derived
primarily from the manufacture and sale of additives for
lubricants and fuels. All Other activities include
revenues from mining operations of coal and other minerals,
power generation businesses, insurance operations, real estate

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 employee positions were identified for elimination. Most of
the positions are in the United States and relate primarily to
corporate and upstream executive and administrative functions.
By the end of the first quarter 2006, approximately 350 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 in the
first quarter 2006 for this accrual is shown in the table below.
The balance at March 31, 2006, was classified as a current
liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Adjustments to the
accrual may occur in future periods as the implementation plans
are finalized and estimates are refined.

There were no restrictions on CTCs ability to pay
dividends or make loans or advances at March 31, 2006.
Taxes on income for the first quarter 2006 were
$3.6 billion, compared with $2.2 billion for the
comparable period in 2005. The associated effective tax rates
were 48 percent and 45 percent for 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The primary reason for the higher rate in 2006 was
that proportionally more income was earned in 2006 than in 2005
in countries with high tax rates.

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,
14

(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

In November 2005, the FASB issued a Staff Position
FAS 123R-3 (FSP FAS 123R-3), Transition
Election Related to Accounting for the Tax Effects of
Share-Based Payment Awards, which provides a one-time
transition election for companies to follow in calculating the
beginning balance of the pool of excess tax benefits related to
employee compensation and a simplified method to determine the
subsequent impact on the pool of employee awards that are fully
vested and outstanding upon the adoption of FAS 123R. Under the
FSP, the company must decide by November 2006 whether to make
this one-time transition election, which may provide some
administrative relief in calculating the future tax effects of
stock option issuances. Whether or not the one-time election is
made, the company anticipates no significant difference in the
amount of tax expense recorded in future periods.
|
|
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 (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
companys 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 companys 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.

Includes costs for U.S. and international other postretirement
benefit plans. Obligations for plans outside the U.S. are
not significant relative to the companys total other
postretirement benefit obligation. |
At year end 2005, the company estimated it would contribute
$300 million and $200 million to its U.S. and
international pension plans, respectively, during 2006. Through
March 31, 2006, a total of $104 million was
contributed, including approximately $60 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 quarter 2006, the company contributed
$55 million to its other postretirement benefit plans. The
company anticipates contributing an additional $165 million
in 2006.

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
companys capitalized cost of
16
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
suspended wells at March 31, 2006, was approximately
$1.2 billion, an increase of about $100 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
$20 million was expensed in the first quarter 2006.
|
|
Note 12. |
Accounting for Buy/ Sell Contracts |
In the first quarter 2005, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) issued comment letters to Chevron and
other companies in the oil and gas industry requesting
disclosure of information related to the accounting for buy/sell
contracts. Under a buy/sell contract, a company agrees to buy a
specific quantity and quality of a commodity to be delivered at
a specific location while simultaneously agreeing to sell a
specified quantity and quality of a commodity at a different
location to the same counterparty. Physical delivery occurs for
each side of the transaction, and the risk and reward of
ownership are evidenced by title transfer, assumption of
environmental risk, transportation scheduling, credit risk, and
risk of nonperformance by the counterparty. Both parties settle
each side of the buy/sell through separate invoicing.
The company routinely enters into buy/sell contracts, primarily
in the United States downstream business, associated with crude
oil and refined products. For crude oil, these contracts are
used to facilitate the companys crude oil marketing
activity, which includes the purchase and sale of crude oil
production, fulfillment of the companys supply
arrangements as to physical delivery location and crude oil
specifications, and purchase of crude oil to supply the
companys refining system. For refined products, buy/sell
arrangements are used to help fulfill the companys supply
agreements to customer locations and specifications.
The company has historically accounted for buy/sell transactions
in the Consolidated Statement of Income the same as a monetary
transaction purchases are reported as
Purchased crude oil and products; sales are reported
as Sales and other operating revenues. The SEC
raised the issue as to whether the accounting for buy/sell
contracts should be shown net on the income statement and
accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions (APB 29). The company
understands that others in the oil and gas industry may report
buy/sell transactions on a net basis in the income statement
rather than gross.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB began
deliberating the topic as Issue No. 04-13,
Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with
the Same Counterparty
(EITF 04-13). At
its September 2005 meeting, the EITF reached consensus that two
or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same
counterparty, including buy/sell transactions, should be
combined and considered as a single arrangement for purposes of
applying APB 29, when the transactions were entered into
in contemplation of one another.
EITF 04-13 was
ratified by the FASB in September 2005 and is effective for new
arrangements, or modifications or renewals of existing
arrangements, entered into on or after April 1, 2006, which
is also the effective date for the companys adoption of
this standard. The company plans to report the net effect of all
its buy/sell transactions, including transactions related to
arrangements in effect on the implementation date, on its
Consolidated Statement of Income as Purchased crude oil
and products beginning in the second quarter 2006.
Additionally, as the standard will be adopted prospectively, the
company plans to continue to report the amount prior to second
quarter 2006 for buy/sell contracts shown in Sales and
other operating revenues as a footnote on the
companys Consolidated Statement of Income for comparative
purposes.
While the issue was under deliberation by the EITF, the SEC
staff directed Chevron and other companies to disclose on the
face of the income statement the amounts associated with
buy/sell contracts and to discuss in a footnote to the financial
statements the basis for the underlying accounting. The amounts
for buy/sell contracts shown on the companys Consolidated
Statement of Income, Sales and other operating
revenues for the three-month periods ending March 31,
2006 and 2005, included $6.7 billion and $5.4 billion,
respectively. These revenue amounts associated with buy/sell
contracts represented 13 percent of total Sales and
other operating revenues in the 2006 and 2005 periods.
Nearly all of these revenue amounts in each
17
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
period associated with buy/sell contracts pertain to the
companys downstream segment. The costs associated with
these buy/sell revenue amounts are included in Purchased
crude oil and products on the Consolidated Statement of
Income in each period.
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 companys 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.

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 companys 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 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 maximum future
payments up to $300 million. Through March 31, 2006,
the company paid $38 million under these indemnities and
expects to make 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 interests in the joint ventures. In
general, the environmental conditions or events that are subject
to
18
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 Unocals 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 March 31, 2006,
approximately $115 million had been applied to the cap,
which includes payments made by either Unocal or Chevron
totaling $83 million.
Minority Interests The company has commitments of
$213 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 companys 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
companys 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 companys Caspian Pipeline Consortium
(CPC) affiliate operates in Russia and Kazakhstan. The
companys Tengizchevroil (TCO) affiliate operates in
Kazakhstan. Through an affiliate, the company participates in
the development 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 companys Petrolera Ameriven affiliate
operates the Hamaca project in Venezuela. The companys
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.
19
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The companys 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 or governmental ownership of the companys partially
or wholly owned businesses or assets or to impose additional
taxes or royalties on the companys 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 companys 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 companys operations. Those
developments have at times significantly affected the
companys 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 Chevrons
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.

Net income for the 2006 first quarter was $4 billion
($1.80 per share diluted), compared with
$2.7 billion ($1.28 per share diluted) in
the corresponding 2005 period. In the following discussions, the
term earnings is defined as segment income.
Upstream earnings in the first quarter 2006 were
$3.5 billion, compared with $2.4 billion in the
year-ago period. Results for the current period benefited mainly
from higher average prices for crude oil and natural gas. Also
contributing to the improvement was a nearly 10 percent
increase in net oil-equivalent production to 2.6 million
barrels per day, reflecting production added through the
acquisition of Unocal Corporation in August 2005.
Downstream earnings were $580 million in the first
quarter 2006, up $171 million from a year earlier. The
increase was associated mainly with higher average margins for
refined products and improved refinery operations. Crude oil
inputs to the companys refineries in the 2006 first
quarter were up 8 percent worldwide and 10 percent in
the United States.
Chemicals segment income was up 12 percent from the
2005 first quarter to $153 million, due mainly to improved
margins for commodity chemicals and additives for fuels and
lubricating oils.
Refer to pages 25 - 27 for additional discussion
of earnings by business segment for the first quarter 2006 vs.
the same period in 2005.

|
|
Business Environment and Outlook |
Chevrons 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
21
factor that affects the results of operations for both segments
is the 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 companys 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.
The companys long-term competitive position, particularly
given the capital-intensive and commodity-based nature of the
industry, is closely associated with the companys 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 companys growth. Asset
disposition and restructuring may occur in future periods and
could result in significant gains or losses.
In August 2005, the company acquired Unocal Corporation
(Unocal), an independent oil and gas exploration and production
company, for an aggregate purchase price of $17.3 billion.
The integration of the former Unocal operations into
Chevrons business activities is substantially complete.
Refer to Note 2 on page 7 for additional discussion of
the Unocal acquisition.
Comments related to the trend in earnings for the companys
major business areas are as follows:
Upstream Earnings for the upstream segment are closely
aligned with industry price levels for crude oil and natural
gas. Crude oil and natural gas prices are subject to external
factors over which the company has no control, including product
demand connected with global economic conditions, industry
inventory levels, production quotas imposed by the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), weather-related 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 companys 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 about $57 per
barrel. Prices continued an upward trend in the first quarter
2006, and remained at higher levels than the corresponding
period in 2005. In the first quarter 2006, WTI averaged
$63 per barrel, compared with about $50 per barrel in
the year-ago period. The average price for WTI during April 2006
was $69 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, including
production in the Gulf of Mexico that remains partially shut in
from hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
As was the case in 2005, the differential in prices between
high-quality, light-sweet crude oils, such as the
U.S. benchmark WTI, and the heavier crudes was wide during
the first quarter 2006. Chevron produces heavy crude oil in
California, Chad, Indonesia, the Partitioned Neutral Zone
(between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait), Venezuela (including volumes
under an operating service agreement) and certain fields in
Angola, China and the United Kingdom North Sea. The price for
heavier crudes has been dampened because of ample supply,
together with lower relative demand due to the limited number of
refineries that are able to process this lower-quality feedstock
into light products (i.e., motor gasoline, jet fuel, aviation
gasoline and diesel fuel). The price for higher-quality light
oil, in comparison, has remained high, as the demand for light
products, which can be manufactured by any refinery from light
oil, has been strong worldwide.
U.S. benchmark prices for Henry Hub natural gas averaged
$7.80 per thousand cubic feet (MCF) in the first
quarter 2006, compared with about $6.30 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
22
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
companys production. (Refer to page 30 for the
companys 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 that 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 companys crude oil and natural gas production
levels, changes in tax rates, and the companys ability to
find or acquire and efficiently produce crude oil and natural
gas reserves. Most of the companys overall capital
investment is in its upstream businesses, particularly 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.
In 2005, the Venezuelan government stipulated that
Chevrons existing Boscan and
LL-652 operating
service agreements be converted to an Empresa Mixta (EM), or a
joint stock contractual structure, with Petróleos de
Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) as majority shareholder. In March
2006, Chevron signed a memorandum of understanding agreement
with PDVSA and continues to negotiate the format of the final EM
structure. Also in March, Venezuelas tax agency proposed
an oil-tax reform that would increase the future tax rate for
all extra-heavy crude projects in the Orinoco Belt, including
the companys interest in the operations at Hamaca. The
company settled a tax claim during March in which the main issue
was the tax rate in effect on activities under operating service
agreements that are outside the Orinoco Belt. The financial
implications of the final EM structure and the proposed tax
increase are uncertain but are not expected to have a material
effect on the companys consolidated financial position or
liquidity.
The level of oil-equivalent production in future periods is
uncertain, in part due to quotas that may be imposed by OPEC,
the price effect on production volumes calculated under
cost-recovery and variable-royalty provisions of certain
contracts, the potential for local civil unrest and changing
geopolitics that could cause production disruptions, severe
weather, and production-restoration efforts that continue in the
Gulf of Mexico following damages to infrastructure caused by
hurricanes in 2005.
Approximately 25 percent of the companys net
oil-equivalent production in the first quarter 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 companys production level during the first
quarter 2006 was not constrained in these areas by OPEC quotas,
future production could be affected by OPEC-imposed limitations.
Future production levels also are affected by the size and
number of economic investment opportunities and, for new
large-scale projects, the time lag between initial exploration
and the beginning of production.
In certain onshore areas of Nigeria, approximately
30,000 barrels per day of the companys 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.
23
Production offline in the Gulf of Mexico due to last years
hurricanes continues to be restored. In the first quarter 2006,
net oil-equivalent production was about 200,000 barrels per
day, up more than 20 percent from the fourth quarter 2005.
Production for the full-year 2006 is also expected to
average 200,000 barrels per day, as the restoration of
additional volumes will be essentially offset by normal field
declines occurring elsewhere in the region.
Refer also to the Results of Operations on
pages 25 - 26 for additional discussion of U.S.
and international production trends.
Downstream Earnings 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 companys 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 quarter 2006, mainly the result of higher
average margins for refined products and improved operations at
the companys 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 companys 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 companys shipping
operations, which are driven by the industrys demand for
crude-oil and product tankers. Other factors affecting the
companys downstream profitability that are beyond the
companys control include the general level of inflation
and energy costs to operate the refinery network.
Refer also to the Results of Operations on page 26 for
additional discussion of downstream earnings.
Chemicals Earnings 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 27 for
additional discussion of chemical earnings.
Noteworthy operating developments and events in recent months
included the following:
|
|
|
|
|
Canada Acquisition of five heavy oil leases
in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta. The leases comprise
approximately 75,000 acres and contain significant volumes
of oil that can be recovered through horizontal wells and steam
injection. |
|
|
|
Thailand Signing of two petroleum exploration
concessions in the Gulf of Thailand. One exploration block is in
the proximity of Chevrons Tantawan and Plamuk fields. The
company will retain a 71 percent interest and be the
operator of this block and will have a 16 percent
nonoperated interest in the other. |
|
|
|
Vietnam Signing of a
30-year
production-sharing contract with Vietnam Oil and Gas Corporation
for Block 122 offshore eastern Vietnam. The company will
hold a 50 percent interest and has a
3-year work program for
seismic acquisition and drilling of an exploratory well. |
|
|
|
Australia Award of exploration rights to a
block of acreage in the Carnarvon Basin, offshore Western
Australia. The block is adjacent to the Chevron-led Gorgon
Project. Chevron will be the operator of the block and holds a
50 percent interest. |
24
|
|
|
|
|
Norway Award of exploration rights to six
blocks in the 19th Norwegian Licensing Round. The
40 percent-owned blocks are located in the Nordkapp East
Basin in the Norwegian Barents Sea. |
|
|
|
India Acquisition in late April of a
5 percent interest in Reliance Petroleum Limited, a company
formed by Reliance Industries Limited to construct, own and
operate a refinery in Jamnagar, India. The new refinery will be
the worlds sixth largest, designed for a crude oil
processing capacity of 580,000 barrels per day. Chevron has
signed two memoranda of understanding with Reliance Industries
to jointly pursue other downstream and upstream business
opportunities. If discussions pursuant to the memoranda of
understanding lead to definitive agreements, Chevron may
increase its equity stake in Reliance Petroleum to
29 percent. If Chevron and Reliance Industries do not enter
into definitive agreements by the date that is three months
after the later of the commissioning of the proposed refinery or
three years from the acquisition of the initial shares, Chevron
will sell back to Reliance Industries the Reliance Petroleum
shares it initially acquired. |

U.S. upstream income of $1.2 billion increased
$447 million from the first quarter 2005. Higher prices for
crude oil and natural gas increased earnings by approximately
$550 million between periods. A 4 percent increase in
oil-equivalent production also contributed to the earnings
improvement. Partially offsetting these benefits were higher
operating expenses, including costs associated with the repair
and restoration of facilities that were damaged last year by
hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico.
The average liquids realization in 2006 was $53.45 per
barrel, up from $38.68. The average natural gas realization was
$7.46 per thousand cubic feet, compared with $5.76 in the
2005 quarter.
Net oil-equivalent production of 750,000 barrels per day in
the 2006 quarter was 31,000 higher than a year ago. An increase
in volumes associated with the former Unocal properties 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
relatively flat at 453,000 barrels per day in 2006. Net
natural gas production of 1.8 billion cubic feet per day
was up 11 percent.

International upstream income of $2.2 billion in the first
quarter 2006 increased $632 million from a year earlier,
mainly as a result of an approximate $650 million benefit
from higher prices for crude oil and natural gas. A
12 percent increase in oil-equivalent production also
contributed to the earnings improvement. Partially offsetting
these benefits were higher expenses, which included settlement
of a tax claim in Venezuela and
25
write-offs associated with the Hebron project offshore eastern
Canada, after activities there were suspended. Foreign currency
effects decreased earnings by $123 million in the first
quarter 2006 vs. $18 million a year earlier. The currency
impact in 2006 was due mainly to the strengthening of the
currency in Thailand against the U.S. dollar.
The average liquids realization for the first quarter 2006 was
$55.13 per barrel, an increase of 36 percent from
$40.42 in the 2005 period. The average natural gas realization
in 2006 was $3.78 per thousand cubic feet, up from $2.95 in
the first quarter last year.
Net oil-equivalent production, including volumes from oil sands
in Canada and an operating service agreement in Venezuela,
increased 12 percent to 1.9 million barrels per day in
the first quarter 2006. Higher production as a result of the
Unocal acquisition was partially offset by reduced output due to
equipment repairs at facilities in Kazakhstan, lower
cost-recovery volumes under certain production-sharing
agreements and the effects of storms in Australia. The net
liquids component of oil-equivalent production increased
2 percent between periods to 1.4 million barrels per
day. Net natural gas production of 3.2 billion cubic feet
per day in the first quarter 2006 increased 47 percent from
the year-ago period.

U.S. downstream earnings of $210 million increased
$152 million from the 2005 first quarter, primarily as a
result of improved refinery utilization and higher
refined-product margins. Earnings in the 2005 period were
significantly affected by both planned and unplanned refinery
downtime.
Crude oil inputs of 939,000 barrels per day to the
companys refineries were up about 10 percent between
periods. Refined-product sales increased 5 percent to
1,534,000 barrels per day. Branded gasoline sales increased
2 percent from last years quarter to
595,000 barrels per day, mainly reflecting the continued
growth of the Texaco brand.

International downstream income of $370 million increased
approximately 5 percent from the first quarter 2005. The
increase resulted mainly from improved margins for refined
products in most of the companys operating areas.
The companys share of refinery crude-oil inputs of
1,079,000 barrels per day was up about 6 percent
between periods. Total refined-product sales volumes of
2,332,000 barrels per day in the 2006 quarter were about
the same as last year.

Chemical operations earned $153 million in the first
quarter 2006, compared with $137 million in the 2005
period. Improved results were due to higher margins for olefins
and polyolefins at the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips
Chemical Company LLC affiliate and higher margins for additives
sold by the companys Oronite subsidiary for use in fuels
and lubricating oils.

Net charges were $195 million in the first quarter 2006,
compared with $248 million in the corresponding 2005
period. The decrease in net charges was primarily associated
with reduced Dynegy losses and favorable foreign currency
effects.

losses from Dynegy were partially offset by lower earnings from

Effective income tax rates for the 2006 and 2005 first quarters

primary reason for the higher rate in 2006 was that
proportionally more income was earned in 2006 than in 2005 in
countries with high tax rates.

Information Relating to the Companys Investment in
Dynegy |
At March 31, 2006, Chevron owned an approximate
24 percent equity interest in the common stock of Dynegy
Inc. (Dynegy), a provider of electricity to markets and
customers throughout the United States. The company also held an
investment in Dynegy preferred stock.
Investment in Dynegy Common Stock At March 31, 2006,
the carrying value of the companys investment in Dynegy
common stock was $307 million. This amount was about
$200 million below the companys proportionate
interest in Dynegys 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
companys 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 companys analysis of the various factors
associated with the decline in value of the Dynegy shares. The
companys equity share of Dynegys reported earnings
is adjusted quarterly when appropriate to recognize a portion of
the difference between these allocated values and Dynegys
historical book values. The market value of the companys
investment in Dynegys common stock at March 31, 2006,
was $465 million.
Investment in Dynegy Preferred Stock At March 31,
2006, the company held $400 million face value of Dynegy
Series C preferred stock with a stated maturity of 2033.
The stock is accounted for at its fair value, which was
estimated to be $375 million at March 31, 2006.
Temporary changes in the estimated fair value of the preferred
stock are reported in Other Comprehensive Income.
However, if in any future period a decline in fair value is
deemed to be other than temporary, a charge against income in
the period would be recorded. Dividends received from the
preferred stock are recorded to income in the period received.

Liquidity and Capital Resources |
Cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities totaled $11.8 billion at March 31,
2006, up from $11.1 billion at year-end 2005. Cash provided
by operating activities was $5.8 billion in the first
quarter 2006. Operating activities in the first quarter 2006
generated funds in excess of the requirements for the
companys capital and exploratory program, payment of
dividends to stockholders, repayment of debt and repurchase of
common stock.
Dividends The company paid dividends of $996 million
to common stockholders during the first quarter 2006. In April
2006, the company increased its quarterly stock dividend by
15.5 percent to 52 cents per share.
Debt and Capital Lease and Minority Interest Obligations
Chevrons total debt and capital lease obligations were
$12.1 billion at March 31, 2006. The company also had
minority interest obligations of $213 million at
March 31, 2006. In February 2006, the company retired Union
Oil bonds at maturity for approximately $185 million.
The companys debt and capital lease obligations due within
one year, consisting primarily of commercial paper and the
current portion of long-term debt, totaled $5 billion at
March 31, 2006, down from $5.6 billion at
December 31, 2005. Of these amounts, $4.9 billion was
reclassified to long-term at both March 31, 2006, and
December 31, 2005. At March 31, 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 companys practice
has been to continually refinance its commercial paper,
maintaining levels it believes appropriate and economic.
At March 31, 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 companys 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 companys strong credit
rating. No borrowings were outstanding under these facilities at
March 31, 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.
Chevrons senior debt is rated AA by Standard and
Poors Corporation and Aa2 by Moodys Investors
Service. The companys senior debt of Texaco Capital Inc.
is rated Aa2, and the Union Oil of California bonds are rated A1
by Moodys. These companies are wholly owned subsidiaries
of Chevron. The companys U.S. commercial paper is
rated A-1+ by Standard
and Poors and P-1
by Moodys, and the companys Canadian commercial
paper is rated R-1
(middle) by Dominion Bond Rating Service. All of these
ratings denote high-quality, investment-grade securities.
The companys 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 March 31, 2006, are
dependent upon many factors including managements
continuous assessment of debt as an appropriate component of the
companys 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 companys 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 first quarter 2006, 17.4 million shares
were purchased in the open market at a cost of $1 billion.
From the inception of the program in December 2005 through April
2006, the company had purchased 22.1 million shares for
approximately $1.3 billion.
31
Current Ratio current assets divided by
current liabilities. The current ratio was 1.4 at March 31,
2006, unchanged from December 31, 2005. The current ratio
is adversely affected by the valuation of Chevrons
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 16 percent at
March 31, 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 March 31, 2006, a total
of $104 million was contributed, including approximately
$60 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 companys share of spending by affiliates,
were $3 billion in the first quarter 2006, compared with
$1.7 billion in the corresponding 2005 period. The amounts
in each period included approximately $300 million for the
companys share of equity-affiliate expenditures.
Expenditures for exploration and production projects in 2006
were about $2.5 billion, representing 82 percent of
the companywide total.

Contingencies and Significant Litigation |
MTBE Chevron and many other companies in the petroleum
industry have used methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) as a
gasoline additive. 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
32
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 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
companys 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 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 maximum future
payments up to $300 million. Through March 31, 2006,
the company paid $38 million under these indemnities and
expects to make 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 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 Unocals 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
33
aggregate cap of $200 million. Claims relating to these
indemnities must be asserted by April 2022. Through
March 31, 2006, approximately $115 million had been
applied to the cap, which includes payments made by either
Unocal or Chevron totaling $83 million.
Minority Interests The company has commitments of
$213 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 companys 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
companys 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 companys Caspian Pipeline Consortium
(CPC) affiliate operates in Russia and Kazakhstan. The
companys Tengizchevroil (TCO) affiliate operates in
Kazakhstan. Through an affiliate, the company participates in
the development 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 companys Petrolera Ameriven affiliate
operates the Hamaca project in Venezuela. The companys
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 companys 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 companys partially or wholly owned
businesses or assets or to impose additional taxes or royalties
on the companys 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 companys 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 companys operations. Those
developments have at times significantly affected the
companys related operations and results and are carefully
considered by management when evaluating the level of current
and future activity in such countries.
34
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 Chevrons
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.
Accounting for Buy/Sell Contracts In the first quarter
2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
comment letters to Chevron and other companies in the oil and
gas industry requesting disclosure of information related to the
accounting for buy/sell contracts. Under a buy/sell contract, a
company agrees to buy a specific quantity and quality of a
commodity to be delivered at a specific location while
simultaneously agreeing to sell a specified quantity and quality
of a commodity at a different location to the same counterparty.
Physical delivery occurs for each side of the transaction, and
the risk and reward of ownership are evidenced by title
transfer, assumption of environmental risk, transportation
scheduling, credit risk, and risk of nonperformance by the
counterparty. Both parties settle each side of the buy/sell
through separate invoicing.
The company routinely enters into buy/sell contracts, primarily
in the United States downstream business, associated with crude
oil and refined products. For crude oil, these contracts are
used to facilitate the companys crude oil marketing
activity, which includes the purchase and sale of crude oil
production, fulfillment of the companys supply
arrangements as to physical delivery location and crude oil
specifications, and purchase of crude oil to supply the
companys refining system. For refined products, buy/sell
arrangements are used to help fulfill the companys supply
agreements to customer locations and specifications.
The company has historically accounted for buy/sell transactions
in the Consolidated Statement of Income the same as a monetary
transaction purchases are reported as
Purchased crude oil and products; sales are reported
as Sales and other operating revenues. The SEC
raised the issue as to whether the accounting for buy/sell
contracts should be shown net on the income statement and
accounted for under the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions (APB 29). The company
understands that others in the oil and gas industry may report
buy/sell transactions on a net basis in the income statement
rather than gross.
The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB began
deliberating the topic as Issue
No. 04-13,
Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with
the Same Counterparty
(EITF 04-13). At
its September 2005 meeting, the EITF reached consensus that two
or more legally separate exchange transactions with the same
counterparty, including buy/sell transactions, should be
combined and considered as a single arrangement for purposes of
applying APB 29, when the transactions were entered into
in contemplation of one another.
EITF 04-13 was
ratified by the FASB in September 2005 and is effective for new
arrangements, or modifications or renewals of existing
arrangements, entered into on or after April 1, 2006, which
is also the effective date for the companys adoption of
this standard. The company plans to report the net effect of all
its buy/sell transactions, including transactions related to
arrangements in effect on the implementation date, on its
Consolidated Statement of Income as Purchased crude oil
and products
35
beginning in the second quarter 2006. Additionally, as the
standard will be adopted prospectively, the company plans to
continue to report the amount prior to second quarter 2006 for
buy/sell contracts shown in Sales and other operating
revenues as a footnote on the companys Consolidated
Statement of Income for comparative purposes.
While the issue was under deliberation by the EITF, the SEC
staff directed Chevron and other companies to disclose on the
face of the income statement the amounts associated with
buy/sell contracts and to discuss in a footnote to the financial
statements the basis for the underlying accounting. The amounts
for buy/sell contracts shown on the companys Consolidated
Statement of Income, Sales and other operating
revenues for the three-month periods ending March 31,
2006 and 2005, included $6.7 billion and $5.4 billion,
respectively. These revenue amounts associated with buy/sell
contracts represented 13 percent of total Sales and
other operating revenues in the 2006 and 2005 periods.
Nearly all of these revenue amounts in each period associated
with buy/sell contracts pertain to the companys downstream
segment. The costs associated with these buy/sell revenue
amounts are included in Purchased crude oil and
products on the Consolidated Statement of Income in each
period.

Item 4. |
Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Chevron Corporations Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the
companys disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)),
as of March 31, 2006, have concluded that as of
March 31, 2006, the companys disclosure controls and
procedures were effective and designed to provide reasonable
assurance that material information relating to the company and
its consolidated subsidiaries required to be included in the
companys periodic filings under the Exchange Act would be
made known to them by others within those entities.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, there were no
changes in the companys internal control over financial
reporting that have materially affected, or were reasonably
likely to materially affect, the companys internal control
over financial reporting.
