CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS RELEVANT TO FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

FOR THE PURPOSE OF “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

      This Annual Report on Form 10-K of ChevronTexaco Corporation contains forward-looking statements relating to ChevronTexaco’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,” “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. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Unless legally required, ChevronTexaco undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

      Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially 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; the ability of the company’s Dynegy equity affiliate to successfully execute its recapitalization and restructuring plans and the results of Dynegy’s re-audit of its 1999-2001 financial statements; inability or failure of the company’s joint-venture partners to fund their share of operations and development activities; potential failure to achieve expected production from existing and future oil and gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; potential disruption or interruption of the company’s production or manufacturing facilities due to accidents, political events, severe weather or war; potential liability for remedial actions under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant investment or product changes under existing or future environmental regulations (including, particularly, regulations and litigation dealing with gasoline composition and characteristics); potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; and the possibility of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies. 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.

Item 1.     Business

 
     (a) General Development of Business

Summary Description of ChevronTexaco

      ChevronTexaco Corporation1, a Delaware corporation, manages its investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, and provides administrative, financial and management support to U.S. and foreign subsidiaries that engage in fully integrated petroleum operations, chemicals operations, coal mining, power and energy services. The company operates in the United States and approximately 180 other countries. Petroleum operations consist of exploring for, developing and producing crude oil and natural gas; refining crude oil into finished petroleum products; marketing crude oil, natural gas and the many products derived from petroleum; and transporting crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products by pipelines, marine vessels, motor equipment and rail car. Chemicals operations include the manufacture and marketing, by an affiliate, of commodity petrochemicals and plastics for industrial uses, and the manufacture and marketing, by a consolidated subsidiary, of fuel and lubricating oil additives.

      In this report, exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas may be referred to as “E&P” or “upstream” activities. Refining, marketing and transportation may be referred to as “RM&T” or “downstream” activities. A list of the company’s major subsidiaries is presented on pages E-4 to E-6 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2002, ChevronTexaco had 53,014 employees (excluding 13,024 service station employees), down about 2,700 from year-end 2001. Approximately 29,000, or 44 percent, of the company’s employees, including service station employees, were employed in U.S. operations, of which approximately 3,700 were unionized.

Overview of Petroleum Industry

      Petroleum industry operations and profitability are influenced by many factors, over some of which individual petroleum companies have little control. Governmental policies, particularly in the areas of taxation, energy and the environment, have a significant impact on petroleum activities, regulating where and how companies conduct their operations and formulate their products and, in some cases, limiting their profits directly. Prices for crude oil and natural gas, petroleum products and petrochemicals are determined by supply and demand for these commodities. The members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are typically the world’s swing producers of crude oil, and their production levels are a major factor in determining worldwide supply. Demand for crude oil and its products and for natural gas is largely driven by the conditions of local, national and worldwide economies, although weather patterns and taxation relative to other energy sources also play a significant part. Natural gas is generally produced and consumed on a country or regional basis. Variations in the components of refined products sales due to seasonality are not primary drivers of changes in the company’s overall earnings.

      Strong competition exists in all sectors of the petroleum and petrochemical industries. There is competition within the industries and also with other industries in supplying the energy, fuel and chemical needs of industry and individual consumers. ChevronTexaco competes with fully integrated major


1  Incorporated in Delaware in 1926 as Standard Oil Company of California, the company adopted the name Chevron Corporation in 1984 and ChevronTexaco Corporation in 2001. As used in this report, the term “ChevronTexaco” and such terms as “the company,” “the corporation,” “our,” “we,” and “us” may refer to ChevronTexaco Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them taken as a whole, but unless it is stated otherwise, does not include “affiliates” of ChevronTexaco — i.e., those companies accounted for by the equity method (generally owned 50 percent or less), or investments accounted for by the cost method. All of these terms are used for convenience only, and are not intended as a precise description of any of the separate companies, each of which manages its own affairs.

petroleum companies, as well as independent and national petroleum companies for the acquisition of oil and gas leases and other properties, and for the equipment and labor required to develop and operate those properties. In its downstream business, ChevronTexaco also competes with fully integrated major petroleum companies and other independent refining and marketing entities in the sale or purchase of various goods or services in many national and international markets.

Operating Environment

      Refer to pages FS-2 and FS-3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion on the company’s current business environment and outlook.

Texaco Merger Transaction

      On October 9, 2001, Texaco Inc. (Texaco) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (Chevron) pursuant to a merger transaction, and Chevron changed its name to ChevronTexaco Corporation. The combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and each share of Texaco common stock was converted on a tax-free basis into the right to receive 0.77 shares of ChevronTexaco common stock. In the merger, ChevronTexaco issued approximately 425 million shares of common stock, representing about 40 percent of the outstanding ChevronTexaco common stock after the merger. Further discussion of the

Texaco merger transaction, including merger-related expenses, is contained on pages FS-3 and FS-27 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ChevronTexaco Strategic Direction

      ChevronTexaco’s primary objective is to achieve sustained financial returns that will enable it to outperform its competitors. The company has set as a goal to generate the highest total stockholder return among a designated peer group for the five-year period 2000-2004. British Petroleum, ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell — among the world’s largest integrated petroleum companies — comprise the company’s designated competitor peer group for this purpose. The company had the second highest total stockholder return in this peer group for the 2000-2002 period.

      As a foundation for attaining this goal, the company has established four key priorities:

  •  Operational excellence through safe, reliable, efficient and environmentally sound operations;
 
  •  Cost reduction by lowering unit costs through innovation and technology;
 
  •  Capital stewardship by investing in the best project opportunities and executing them successfully (safer, faster, and at lower cost); and
 
  •  Profitable growth through leadership in developing new business opportunities in both existing and new markets.

      Supporting these four priorities is a focus on:

  •  Organizational Capability: Having the right people, processes and culture to achieve and sustain industry-leading performance in the four priorities described above.

      The Corporate Strategic Plan builds on this framework with strategies focused on appropriately balancing financial returns and growth. The company is currently conducting a rigorous evaluation of its entire portfolio of assets and expects to finalize this review later this year. As a result of this evaluation, the company anticipates exploring potential asset transactions to increase the efficiency and profitability of continuing operations and enhancing the economic value of its asset base. The company expects that its worldwide exploration and production business will continue to be its most important business, with development of its large proved and unproved natural gas reserves constituting perhaps the largest opportunity over time to expand the company’s base of production and to capture economic value from emerging natural gas market opportunities. The company is also seeking to deliver improved and competitive returns from its worldwide downstream businesses.

     (b) Description of Business and Properties

      The company’s largest business segments are exploration and production, and refining, marketing and transportation. Chemicals is also a significant segment, conducted mainly by the company’s affiliate — Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem). The petroleum activities of the company are widely dispersed geographically. The company has petroleum operations in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Central and Far East Asia, and Australia.

      CPChem has operations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Belgium, China, South Korea, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Mexico. ChevronTexaco’s wholly owned Oronite fuel and lube oil additives business has operations in the United States, Mexico, France, the Netherlands, Singapore, India, Japan and Brazil.

      An equity affiliate, Dynegy Inc. (Dynegy), owns operating divisions engaged in power generation, natural gas liquids and regulated energy delivery. ChevronTexaco owns approximately 26 percent of Dynegy’s common stock and also holds $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of Dynegy’s preferred stock. Until recently, Dynegy also conducted a large electricity and natural gas trading and marketing business, as well as broadband trading. ChevronTexaco sold essentially all of its U.S. natural gas production to Dynegy, which then sold it into the market. Following the collapse of the merchant energy sector in 2002, Dynegy experienced a marked reduction in liquidity. Its debt ratings were downgraded and a sharp decline in its stock price

occurred. In 2002, Dynegy announced its intent to exit the energy trading business. As a result of those changes, ChevronTexaco is re-establishing a natural gas marketing business to market the company’s U.S. natural gas production and to purchase supply for its requirements. Refer to page FS-8 for further information relating to the company’s investment in Dynegy.

      Tabulations of segment sales and other operating revenues, earnings, income taxes and assets, by United States and International geographic areas, for the years 2000 to 2002, may be found in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements beginning on page FS-31 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, similar comparative data for the company’s investments in and income from equity affiliates and property, plant and equipment are contained in Notes 13 and 14 on pages FS-34 to FS-36.

      The company’s worldwide operations can be affected significantly by changing economic, tax, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which it operates, including the United States. Environmental regulations and government policies concerning economic development, energy and taxation may have a significant effect on the company’s operations. Management evaluates the economic and political risk of initiating, maintaining or expanding operations in any geographical area. The company monitors political events worldwide and the possible threat these may pose to its activities — particularly the company’s oil and gas exploration and production operations — and the safety of the company’s employees. The company is carefully monitoring the potential for disruption of its operations in the event of hostilities in Iraq. Approximately five percent of the company’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production for 2002 came from the Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ), which is located between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait.

     Capital and Exploratory Expenditures

      A discussion of the company’s capital and exploratory expenditures is contained on page FS-9 to FS-10 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      In 2002, ChevronTexaco conducted its exploration and production operations in the United States and approximately 25 other countries. Worldwide net crude oil and natural gas liquids production, including that of affiliates but excluding volumes produced under operating service agreements, decreased by about 3 percent from the 2001 levels. Net worldwide production of natural gas, including affiliates, decreased about 1 percent in 2002.

      Net liquids and natural gas production in the United States was down about 2 percent and 11 percent, respectively. The decline in U.S. natural gas production in 2002 reflected decreases in the Gulf of Mexico, primarily attributable to declines in mature fields. Early in 2001, production from a number of fields was accelerated via increased drilling at a time of high natural gas prices. In addition to normal field declines, production disruptions caused by tropical storms in the Gulf of Mexico reduced net crude oil and natural gas liquids production by 10,000 barrels per day and 60 million cubic feet of natural gas per day on an annualized basis.

      International net liquids production, including affiliates, decreased about 4 percent, while net natural gas production rose 15 percent from 2001. In Nigeria, the decline in net liquids production between years was primarily attributable to OPEC production constraints. In Indonesia, about 25,000 barrels per day of the year to year decline was attributable to changes in certain production-sharing contract terms and 10,000 barrels per day was related to the expiration of a production sharing agreement. The increase in international natural gas volumes occurred primarily in the Philippines, due to a full year of new production from the Malampaya Field.

      For the past five years, the company’s worldwide oil-equivalent production has followed a downward trend with 2002 production at 91 percent of 1998 levels, equivalent to an average annual decline rate between 1 and 2 percent. During this time period, increases in international oil-equivalent production have been more than offset by decreases in the United States.

      For 2003, the company currently anticipates lower oil-equivalent production rates in the United States as a result of lower capital expenditures in recent years and natural field declines. The company expects this to be more than offset by capacity increases in international areas resulting in worldwide oil-equivalent production capacity in 2003 slightly higher than actual production levels achieved in 2002. The ultimate level of production in 2003 remains uncertain due to unanticipated production interruptions, OPEC constraints and other economic factors.

Acreage

      At December 31, 2002, the company owned or had under lease or similar agreements undeveloped and developed oil and gas properties located throughout the world. The geographical distribution of the company’s acreage is shown in the next table.

Reserves and Contract Obligations

      Table V on pages FS-51 and FS-52 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K sets forth the company’s net proved oil and gas reserves, by geographic area, as of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. During 2003, the company will file estimates of oil and gas reserves with the Department of Energy, Energy Information Agency. Those estimates are consistent with the reserve data reported on page FS-52 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      In 2002, ChevronTexaco’s worldwide oil and equivalent-gas (OEG) barrels of net proved reserves additions exceeded production, with a replacement rate of 114 percent of net production, including sales and acquisitions. Excluding sales and acquisitions, the replacement rate was 112 percent of net production. In Africa, the reserves replacement rate increased to 521 percent, compared with 268 percent in 2001, due primarily to reserves additions in West Africa. In the United States, the addition of reserve quantities for the Kern River Field in California’s San Joaquin Valley, due to improved recovery from reservoir management, was more than offset by downward revisions in gas fields in the Mid-Continent, CO2 projects in the Permian Basin, and a number of fields in the Gulf of Mexico. The following table summarizes the company’s net additions to net proved reserves of crude oil and natural gas liquids, and natural gas, compared with net production during 2002.

      The company sells crude oil and natural gas from its producing operations under a variety of contractual arrangements. Most contracts generally commit the company to sell quantities based on production from specified properties, but certain gas sales contracts specify delivery of fixed and determinable quantities. During 2002, Dynegy purchased substantially all natural gas and natural gas liquids produced by the company in the United States, excluding Alaska, and supplied natural gas and natural gas liquids feedstocks to the company’s U.S. refineries and chemical plants. The company reached an agreement with Dynegy to terminate existing natural gas purchase and sale contracts and other related contracts at the end of January 2003. See page FS-8 for further information on Dynegy. Outside the United States, the company is contractually committed to deliver approximately 400 billion cubic feet of natural gas through 2005 from Australian, Colombian and Philippine reserves, and approximately 1,300 billion cubic feet of natural gas from 2006 through 2020 from Australian and Philippine reserves. The company believes it can satisfy these contracts from quantities available from production of the company’s proved developed Australian, Colombian and Philippine reserves. The contracts discussed above include variable-pricing terms.

Exploration Activities

      The following table summarizes the company’s net interests in productive and dry exploratory wells completed in each of the last three years and the number of exploratory wells drilling at December 31, 2002. “Exploratory wells” are wells drilled to find and produce oil or gas in unproved areas and include delineation wells, which are wells drilled to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be productive of oil or gas in another reservoir or to extend a known reservoir beyond the proved area. “Wells drilling” include wells temporarily suspended. The company had $450 million of suspended exploratory wells included in properties, plant and equipment at year-end 2002, a decrease of $238 million from 2001. Decreases in Nigeria, Angola and China were partially offset by increases in the United States. The wells are suspended pending a final determination of the commercial potential of the related oil and gas deposits. The ultimate disposition of these well costs is dependent on: (1) decisions on additional major capital expenditures, (2) the results of additional exploratory drilling that is underway or firmly planned, and in some cases, (3) securing final regulatory approvals for development.

Review of Ongoing Exploration and Production Activities in Key Areas

      ChevronTexaco’s 2002 key upstream activities not discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations beginning on page FS-2 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K are presented below. The comments include reference to “net production,” which excludes partner shares and royalty interests. “Total production” includes these components. In addition to the activities discussed, ChevronTexaco was active in other geographic areas, but these activities were less significant.

Consolidated Operations

     A) United States

      United States exploration and production activities are concentrated in approximately 700 fields located mainly in the Gulf of Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, the Rocky Mountains, California and Alaska.

      Gulf of Mexico: In the Gulf of Mexico Shelf, average daily net production rates were 124,000 barrels of crude oil, one billion cubic feet of natural gas, and 15,300 barrels of natural gas liquids.

      In the deepwater, the company has interests in three significant developments: (1) 57 percent-owned and operated Genesis, which averaged 31,000 barrels of net oil equivalent per day; (2) 50 percent-owned and operated Typhoon, which averaged 17,700 barrels of net oil equivalent per day; and (3) 50 percent-owned and operated Petronius, which averaged 26,500 barrels of net oil equivalent per day. Exploration programs resulted in two significant discoveries, for which evaluation continued into 2003: (1) 58 percent-owned and operated Tahiti; and (2) 33 percent-owned Great White. Appraisal work is ongoing at the 2001 Trident and 2000 Blind Faith discoveries, and production began at Boris, a 2001 discovery, in February 2003.

      In December, ChevronTexaco submitted an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation to construct and operate a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) receiving and regasification terminal located approximately 50 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The Port Pelican development, 100 percent owned

by ChevronTexaco, includes plans to construct in phases. Phase 1 is expected to initially process approximately 800 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and connect to existing infrastructure to deliver natural gas to the Gulf Coast. Phase 2 would expand the terminal to accommodate a total of 1.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day. Phase 1 is expected to be operational in 2006.

      Mid-Continent: Onshore operations in the mid-continent United States are concentrated in Texas, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. Net natural gas production averaged 830 million cubic feet per day, while net production of crude oil and natural gas liquids averaged 30,000 barrels per day. Capital spending was focused on natural gas development in Wyoming, east and south Texas and coalbed methane activity, located mainly in Utah.

      Permian: Permian operations are located primarily in southeast New Mexico and west Texas. In 2002, net daily production averaged 118,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 270 million cubic feet of natural gas.

      California: During 2002, average net daily production from the company’s San Joaquin Valley fields was about 244,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 129 million cubic feet of natural gas. Approximately 208,000 barrels per day of the crude oil production was heavy oil (defined as roughly 15 API gravity or lower).

      Alaska: ChevronTexaco has a 25 percent interest in the Point Thomson Field where development has progressed into the preliminary engineering phase. The field is a large high-pressure gas condensate reservoir located on the eastern North Slope that has been delineated with 15 wells. In the Greater Prudhoe Bay area, the company and its partners completed an alignment of the interest in 2002.

      Offshore Florida: In July, ChevronTexaco settled a breach of contract case with the federal government and relinquished all interest in the Destin Dome 56 Unit leases, offshore Florida. ChevronTexaco received $46 million from the federal government for its share of the settlement.

     B) Africa

      Nigeria: ChevronTexaco’s principal subsidiary in Nigeria, Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), operates and holds a 40 percent interest in 11 concessions, predominantly in the swamp and near-offshore regions of the Niger Delta. CNL operates under a joint venture arrangement with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), which owns the remaining 60 percent interest. ChevronTexaco’s subsidiaries Chevron Oil Company Nigeria Limited (COCNL) and Texaco Overseas Nigeria Petroleum Company Unlimited (TOPCON) each hold a 20 percent interest in six additional concessions. TOPCON operates these concessions under a joint venture agreement with NNPC, which owns the remaining 60 percent interest.

      In 2002, net daily production from the 33 CNL-operated fields averaged 115,100 barrels of oil and 3,100 barrels of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). TOPCON shut in one of its fields in 2002. Net production from the five remaining fields operated by TOPCON during the year averaged approximately 8,700 barrels of oil per day.

      In the third quarter 2001, preliminary design started for Phase 3 of the Escravos gas project, which includes adding a second gas plant and expanding processing capacity to 680 million cubic feet per day, and is targeted for completion in 2005. ChevronTexaco holds a 40 percent working interest in the Escravos gas project, which processed 236 million cubic feet of natural gas per day during 2002.

      Front-end engineering and design have been completed for a proposed gas-to-liquids (GTL) facility and site preparation in Escravos is at an advanced stage. The proposed 33,000 barrels-per-day GTL project is the company’s first to use the Sasol Chevron Global Joint Venture’s technology and operational expertise. Project start-up is expected to be in 2006. ChevronTexaco holds a 38 percent interest.

      The company also continued activities in the deepwater Agbami development. Unitization efforts between Block 216 and Block 217 participants progressed during 2002 and unit agreements are expected in 2003. Initial production is expected in 2007.

      Angola: ChevronTexaco is the largest producer in Angola and the first to produce in the deepwater. Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Limited (CABGOC), a wholly owned subsidiary of ChevronTexaco, is operator of two concessions, Blocks 0 and 14, off the coast of Angola’s Cabinda enclave. Block 0, in which CABGOC has a 39 percent interest, is a 2,155-square-mile concession adjacent to the Cabinda coastline. Block 14, in which CABGOC has a 31 percent interest, is a 1,580-square-mile deepwater concession located west of Block 0.

      In Block 0, the company operates in three areas — A, B and C — comprised of 21 fields producing 136,000 barrels of net crude oil per day during 2002. Area A, containing 16 fields currently producing, averaged net daily production of approximately 85,000 barrels of crude oil and 1,000 barrels of liquefied petroleum gas in 2002. Area B, with three fields producing, averaged net production of 42,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Area C averaged net production of 9,000 barrels of crude oil per day from two producing fields.

      In Block 14, net production in 2002 from the Kuito Field, Angola’s first deepwater producing area, averaged approximately 20,500 barrels of crude oil per day. The Benguela Belize-Lobito Tomboco development plans were approved by partners in early 2003. The project includes the phased development of the Benguela, Belize, Lobito and Tomboco fields. In 2002, Block 14 exploration activities included two successful discoveries, Gabela-1 and Negage-1. Development studies for the Gabela and Negage fields have commenced and appraisal drilling decisions are to be made during 2003.

      ChevronTexaco has two other concessions in Angola. The company is the operator of Block 2 with a 20 percent interest and 6,500 barrels per day of crude oil production in 2002. It is also a non-operator in Block FST, with a 17 percent interest and 1,900 barrels per day of crude oil production.

      Republic of Congo: ChevronTexaco has interests in two license areas, Haute Mer and Marine VII Kitina/ Sounda, in offshore Congo and adjacent to the company’s concessions in Cabinda. The company has a 30 percent interest in the Haute Mer exploration permit and a 29 percent interest in the Marine VII and Sounda exploration permits. Net production from ChevronTexaco’s concessions in the Republic of Congo averaged 15,800 barrels of oil per day in 2002. Appraisal drilling of the deepwater Moho and Bilondo development was completed in 2002. A development decision for Moho and Bilondo, where the company has a 30 percent interest, is anticipated in mid-2003.

      Chad-Cameroon: ChevronTexaco is a 25 percent partner in a project to develop landlocked oil fields in southern Chad and transport crude oil by pipeline to the coast of Cameroon for export to world markets. At the end of 2002, the overall development project was about 70 percent complete. Pipeline completion and first production are expected in mid-2003.

      Equatorial Guinea: ChevronTexaco is a 65 percent partner and operator of the L Block offshore the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. Processing and interpretation of the seismic studies have been completed and a location has been selected for the first exploration well, Ballena-1, which is scheduled to begin drilling in March 2003.

     C) Asia-Pacific

      China: ChevronTexaco has a 33 percent interest in Block 16/08, located in the Pearl River Mouth Basin. Six fields in Block 16/08 had a total production average of 72,100 barrels of oil per day in 2002. The company has a 25 percent interest in QHD-32-6 in Bohai Bay, which achieved first oil in 2001. All six platforms were on production by October 2002, with a total production average of 35,100 barrels of oil per day. Also in October, ChevronTexaco entered into a unitization agreement with China National Offshore Oil Corp. to jointly develop the BZ25-1/25-1S (Bozhong) oil field, in which the company holds a 16 percent interest.

      Indonesia: ChevronTexaco’s interests in Indonesia are managed by two wholly owned subsidiaries, P.T. Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI) and Amoseas Indonesia (AI). CPI accounts for approximately 40 percent of Indonesia’s total crude oil output and holds an interest in five production-sharing contracts. One production-sharing contract expired in 2002 and reduced 2002 net production by approximately 10,000

14


Table of Contents

barrels of crude oil per day. AI is a power generation company that operates the Darajat geothermal contract area in West Java and a cogeneration facility in support of CPI’s operation in North Duri. In addition to the above interest, ChevronTexaco has a 25 percent non-operated interest in South Natuna Sea Block B.

      ChevronTexaco’s net share of production during 2002 was 288,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. CPI continues to implement enhanced oil recovery projects to extract more oil from its existing reservoirs. The Duri Field in the Rokan Block, under steamflood since 1985, is the largest steamflood project in the world, with total production averaging 228,000 barrels of oil per day in 2002. ChevronTexaco’s net production from South Natuna Sea Block B in 2002 was about 13,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

      Thailand: The company operates Block B8/32 in the Gulf of Thailand with a 52 percent interest. The company holds a 33 percent interest in adjacent exploration Blocks 7, 8 and 9, which are currently inactive pending resolution of border issues between Thailand and Cambodia. Government representatives from both nations are in active negotiations to resolve border issues. Block B8/32 produces oil and natural gas from three fields: Tantawan, Maliwan and Benchamas. Net daily production during 2002 from the company’s interests in Thailand was 87 million cubic feet of natural gas and 18,200 barrels of crude oil. A partial upgrade of Benchamas processing capacity was completed during 2002, increasing total capacity to approximately 57,000 barrels of oil per day. Five of the six exploration wells drilled in 2002 were successful, extending the productive areas in Block B8/32 significantly. During 2003, an exploration program is planned to continue to evaluate the remaining portions of the concession.

      Cambodia: In early 2002, the company was awarded a 70 percent interest and operatorship in Block A, which covers one million acres and is located offshore Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand. The company plans to drill two exploration wells in 2003.

      Australia: ChevronTexaco has a one-sixth interest in the North West Shelf (NWS) Project in offshore Western Australia. Net daily production from the project during 2002 averaged 18,800 barrels of condensate, 264 million cubic feet of natural gas, 20,000 barrels of crude oil and 3,900 barrels of liquefied petroleum gas. Approximately 60 percent of the natural gas was sold, primarily under long-term contracts, in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to major utilities in Japan and South Korea. The remaining natural gas was sold to the Western Australia domestic market. The Train 4 LNG expansion project is currently under construction, which is planned to increase LNG capacity by about 50 percent in mid-2004. The NWS Venture was selected by China to be the sole supplier of LNG for the proposed Guangdong LNG Terminal Project, and a conditional 25-year LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) for approximately 3.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, equivalent to about 400 million cubic feet per day, was signed in October 2002. A 30-year LNG SPA conditional contract was signed in 2002 with a Japanese customer for approximately 1.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

      The company is operator and has a 57 percent interest in the undeveloped Gorgon area gas field offshore northwest Australia. ChevronTexaco is actively pursuing long-term gas sales from Gorgon to Australian industrial customers and in international LNG markets including China, South Korea, and the west coast of North America.

      In 2002, ChevronTexaco drilled a successful appraisal well in the Jansz gas field, offshore Western Australia, where the company holds a 50 percent interest.

      Philippines: The company holds a 45 percent interest in the Malampaya gas field located about 50 miles offshore of the Palawan Island. The Malampaya gas-to-power project represents the first offshore production of natural gas in the Philippines. Net daily production was 105 million cubic feet of natural gas and 7,400 barrels of crude oil and condensate. The Malampaya gas project, which represents a significant investment for ChevronTexaco, makes available indigenous fuel for power generation.

      Middle East: Saudi Arabia Texaco, a ChevronTexaco subsidiary, holds a concession to produce onshore crude oil from the Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ), located between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait each own an undivided 50 percent of the PNZ’s hydrocarbon resources. The company, by virtue of its concession, has

15


Table of Contents

the rights to the Kingdom’s undivided 50 percent interest in the hydrocarbon resources located in the onshore PNZ, on which it pays a royalty and other taxes on hydrocarbons produced. During 2002, average net production was 139,800 barrels of crude oil per day. The company also has exploration agreements in Bahrain and Qatar. The company is carefully monitoring the potential for disruption of its operations in the event of hostilities in Iraq. Approximately five percent of the company’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production for 2002 came from the PNZ.

      Caspian Region: The company holds a 20 percent equity interest in the Karachaganak Field located in northwest Kazakhstan. The Karachaganak Field’s net daily production for 2002 was 18,400 barrels of condensate and 85 million cubic feet of natural gas from the existing production facilities. The current phase of the Karachaganak development includes the building of processing and liquid export facilities and is scheduled to be completed in early 2004.

 
D) Other International Areas

      Europe: The company holds producing interests in 25 fields in Denmark, Norway and the United Kingdom with combined net daily production of 170,700 barrels of oil and 467 million cubic feet of natural gas during 2002. This includes the Alba Field in the United Kingdom North Sea, where ChevronTexaco is operator and holds a 21 percent equity interest, which had total daily production of 61,200 barrels of crude oil and 11 million cubic feet of natural gas. The Alba Extreme South project achieved first oil production in October 2002, contributing an average total of about 44,100 barrels of oil-equivalent per day to the Alba Field from its start-up. In February 2002, production commenced from the Jade development, in which ChevronTexaco holds a 20 percent interest. This field achieved a total daily average (ten-month) production of 14,000 barrels of oil and 145 million cubic feet of natural gas. ChevronTexaco holds a 32 percent interest in the Britannia Field, which it operates jointly with ConocoPhillips. Total daily production averaged 28,000 barrels of crude oil and 598 million cubic feet of natural gas. The Captain Field total production averaged 57,300 barrels of crude oil per day during 2002. ChevronTexaco is operator and holds an 85 percent interest.

      Canada: Total production from the Hibernia Field offshore Newfoundland, in which ChevronTexaco holds an interest of about 27 percent, averaged approximately 181,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Average net daily production from the company’s onshore Canadian operations was approximately 43,400 barrels of oil equivalent during 2002.

      Venezuela: The company operates the onshore Boscan Field under an Operating Services Agreement and receives operating expense reimbursement and capital recovery, plus interest and an incentive fee. Development drilling continued in 2002. Total Boscan crude oil production, subject to Venezuela’s OPEC production restrictions, averaged 97,300 barrels per day during 2002, compared with a capacity of 115,000 barrels per day. The company is also the operator and has a 27 percent interest in the LL-652 Field in Lake Maracaibo. Net production from LL-652 during 2002 averaged 4,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The Venezuelan general strike, which began in December 2002, did not have a significant impact on either Boscan or LL-652 production for the year. In January 2003, production from Boscan was reduced by about 50,000 barrels per day as a result of the general strike. Production had returned to pre-strike levels in February. Also in February 2003, ChevronTexaco was awarded the license for offshore Block 2 in the northeastern Plataforma Deltana. Block 2 contains the undeveloped Loran gas field. The company plans to begin exploration and delineation program of Block 2 to determine commerciality.

      Argentina: ChevronTexaco operates in Argentina as Chevron San Jorge S.R.L. Chevron San Jorge holds more than 6.1 million exploration and production acres in the Neuquén and Austral basins of Argentina, with working interest shares ranging from 19 to 100 percent in operated license areas. In addition, the company holds a 14 percent interest in Oleoductos del Valle S.A., a major oil pipeline from the Neuquén producing area to the Atlantic coast. Net production during 2002 in the Neuquén and Austral areas averaged over 66,600 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

      Brazil: ChevronTexaco holds working interests ranging from 20 to 68 percent in seven deepwater blocks offshore Brazil totaling approximately 4.3 million acres. Deepwater exploration is concentrated in the Campos and Santos basins. During 2002, the company participated in drilling two exploratory wells, without commercial success. In 2003, ChevronTexaco plans to participate in up to three exploration wells.

      Colombia: ChevronTexaco’s Colombian subsidiary, ChevronTexaco Petroleum Company, and Ecopetrol, the Colombian national oil company, signed an agreement in February 2003 for incremental natural gas production from the Guajira region. Natural gas production currently averages 510 million cubic feet per day. The new agreement, effective through 2016, will enable both companies to develop and produce additional reserves.

Affiliate operations

      Caspian Region: The Tengizchevroil (TCO) partnership includes the Tengiz and Korolev oil fields located in western Kazakhstan where ChevronTexaco holds a 50 percent interest. In 2002, total crude oil production from TCO increased for the ninth consecutive year, averaging 285,000 barrels of oil per day. By late 2002, TCO had begun exporting all of its crude oil from Tengiz to the Russian port city of Novorossiysk via the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) pipeline. In January 2003, TCO partners agreed to proceed with the Second Generation Program and Sour Gas Injection Project; completion is targeted for mid-2006. These two projects are expected to increase TCO’s crude oil production capacity from the current rate of about 285,000 barrels per day to between 430,000 and 500,000 barrels per day.

      Venezuela: ChevronTexaco has a 30 percent interest in the Hamaca integrated oil production and upgrading project located in Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt. Development drilling and major facility construction at Hamaca continued throughout 2002. At the completion of the crude oil upgrading facilities in mid-2004, peak heavy oil production will be upgraded to 180,000 barrels of lighter, higher-value crude per day. The general strike in Venezuela did not materially impact project construction, although oil production was halted in December 2002 and January 2003. Production has since resumed and is ramping back up to pre-strike levels.

 
      Petroleum — Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids

      The company sells natural gas and natural gas liquids from its producing operations under a variety of contractual arrangements. During 2002, the company’s equity affiliate Dynegy purchased substantially all natural gas and natural gas liquids produced by the company in the United States, excluding Alaska, and supplied natural gas and natural gas liquids feedstocks to the company’s U.S. refineries and chemical plants. Following Dynegy’s decision to exit the gas marketing and trading business, the company reached an agreement with Dynegy to terminate the existing natural gas purchase and sale contracts at the end of January 2003. ChevronTexaco formed a new unit, ChevronTexaco Natural Gas, with Dynegy providing transitional support until ChevronTexaco Natural Gas becomes fully operational, currently planned for April 2003 business. The company’s existing natural gas processing and liquids arrangements with Dynegy were not affected by the early termination of natural gas purchase and sales contracts, and will continue as an ongoing commercial relationship. Refer to page FS-8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further comments on Dynegy.

      Outside the United States, the majority of the company’s natural gas sales occur in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Latin America, and in the company’s affiliate operations in Kazakhstan. International natural gas liquids sales take place in the company’s Canadian upstream operations, with lower sales levels in Africa, Australia and Europe.

      Refer to “Selected Operating Data” on page FS-6 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further information on the company’s natural gas and natural gas liquids sales volumes.

     Petroleum — Refining

      Distillation operating capacity utilization in 2002, adjusted for sales and closures, averaged 94 percent in the United States (including asphalt plants) and 91 percent worldwide (including affiliates), compared with 88 percent in the United States and 87 percent worldwide in the prior year. ChevronTexaco’s capacity utilization at its U.S. fuels refineries averaged 98 percent in 2002, compared with 90 percent in 2001. ChevronTexaco’s capacity utilization of its wholly owned U.S. cracking and coking facilities, which are the primary facilities used to convert heavier products to gasoline and other light products, averaged 85 percent in 2002, compared with 84 percent in the year earlier. The company processed imported and domestic crude oil in its U.S. refining operations. Imported crude oil accounted for 70 percent of ChevronTexaco’s U.S. refinery inputs in 2002.

      Prior to October 2001, the company also had interests in eight U.S. refineries with a combined capacity of about 1.3 million barrels per day through its investments in the Equilon and Motiva affiliates. These investments were sold, as required by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, in February 2002.

      Federal law requires that cargo transported between U.S. ports be carried in ships built and registered in the United States, owned and operated by U.S. entities and manned by U.S. crews. At year-end 2002, the company’s U.S. flag fleet was engaged primarily in transporting refined products between the Gulf Coast and East Coast, and refined products from California refineries to terminals on the West Coast, Alaska and Hawaii.

      The foreign flag vessels were engaged primarily in transporting crude oil from the Middle East, Indonesia, Mexico and West Africa to ports in the United States, Europe and Asia. Refined products also were transported by tanker worldwide.

      The Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires the scheduled phase-out, by year-end 2010, of all single hull tankers trading to U.S. ports or transferring cargo in waters within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. This has resulted in the utilization of double-hull tankers. During 2002, ChevronTexaco operated a total of 19 double-hull tankers and expects to take delivery of three additional double-hull tankers in 2003, also to be operated under long-term bareboat charters. The company is a member of many oil-spill response cooperatives in areas in which it operates around the world.

 
      Chemicals

      Chevron Phillips Chemical Company (CPChem) is a 50-50 joint venture with ConocoPhillips Corporation. CPChem owns or has joint venture interests in 32 manufacturing facilities and six research and technical centers in the United States, Puerto Rico, Belgium, China, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea and Qatar.

      An olefins and polyolefins complex in Qatar was completed and is currently undergoing commissioning. The complex is owned and operated by Qatar Chemical Company, Ltd., a joint venture between CPChem, with a 49 percent interest, and Qatar General Petroleum, which owns the remaining 51 percent.

      A 50-50 joint venture with BP Solvay to build a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) facility at a CPChem site in the Houston area is on track for start-up in 2003. The jointly owned 700-million-pounds-per-year HDPE facility will be the largest of its kind in the world and will use CPChem proprietary manufacturing technology.

facilities in the United States, France, the Netherlands, Singapore, Japan and Brazil and has equity interests in facilities in India and Mexico.
 
Coal

      The company’s coal mining and marketing subsidiary, The Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining Co. (P&M), owned and operated two surface mines and one underground mine at year-end 2002. In addition, final reclamation activities were underway at two mines prior to their planned closure. P&M also owns an approximate 30 percent interest in Inter-American Coal Holding N.V., which has interests in coal mining operations in Venezuela. Sales of coal from P&M’s wholly owned mines and from its affiliates were 14.9 million tons, a decrease of 8 percent from 2001 primarily the result of reduced demand. At year-end 2002, P&M controlled approximately 186 million tons of developed and undeveloped coal reserves, including significant reserves of environmentally desirable low-sulfur fuel. The company is contractually committed to deliver approximately 13 million tons of coal per year through the end of 2005. The company believes it can satisfy these contracts from existing coal reserves.

 
Other Activities — Synthetic Crude Oil

      In Canada, ChevronTexaco has a 20 percent interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project where bitumen production began in December 2002. Production was temporarily suspended in early 2003 and is expected to resume in late March. The bitumen will be upgraded into synthetic crude oil using hydroprocessing technology at a synthetic crude unit, expected to begin operations in the second quarter 2003. Bitumen production is expected to reach an average rate of 155,000 barrels of per day in 2005.

 
Power and Gasification

      ChevronTexaco participates in its power and gasification business through ownership, equity investments with others and licensing of proprietary technology. The company’s electrical power business includes conventional power generation projects, as well as cogeneration facilities. Cogeneration produces thermal energy, such as steam, and electric power. ChevronTexaco has used steam produced in cogeneration in its upstream operations onshore California and in Indonesia. The company uses its proprietary gasification technology to convert a wide variety of hydrocarbon feedstocks into a clean synthesis gas. The synthetic gas can be used as a feedstock for basic chemicals or to generate electricity in low-emission power plants. ChevronTexaco licenses this technology, operates owned gasification facilities and invests in projects using the technology. The company has licensed its gasification technology to more than 70 plants worldwide.

 
Research and Technology

      The company’s core hydrocarbon technology efforts support the upstream, downstream and power and gasification businesses. These activities include heavy oil recovery and upgrading, deepwater exploration and production, shallow water production operations, gas-to-liquids processing, hydrocarbon gasification to power, and new and improved refinery processes.

      Additionally, ChevronTexaco’s Technology Ventures Company focuses upon the identification, growth, and commercialization of emerging technologies that have the potential to change or transform the way that energy is produced or consumed. The range of business spans early-stage venture capital investing in emerging technologies to developing joint venture companies in new energy systems such as advanced batteries for distributed power and transportation systems and hydrogen fuel storage.

      The company has largely completed the implementation of a new information technology infrastructure encompassing computing, data management, security, and connectivity of partners, suppliers, and employees. The architecture, known as “Net Ready,” provides the foundation for the company to cost effectively and rapidly integrate advances in computing and network-based technology.

      ChevronTexaco’s research and development expenses were $221 million, $209 million and $211 million for the years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

      Because some of the investments the company makes in the areas described above are in new or unproven technologies and business processes, ultimate success is not certain. Although not all initiatives may prove to be economically viable, the company’s overall investment in this area is not significant to the company’s consolidated financial position.

 
Environmental Protection

      Virtually all aspects of the company’s businesses are subject to various federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These regulatory requirements continue to change and increase in both number and complexity, and govern not only the manner in which the company conducts its operations, but also the products it sells. ChevronTexaco expects more environmental-related regulations in the countries where it has operations. Most of the costs of complying with the many laws and regulations pertaining to its operations are embedded in the normal costs of conducting its business.

      In 2002, the company’s U.S. capitalized environmental expenditures were $271 million, representing approximately 8 percent of the company’s total consolidated U.S. capital and exploratory expenditures. These environmental expenditures include capital outlays to retrofit existing facilities, as well as those associated with new facilities. The expenditures are predominantly in the petroleum segment and relate mostly to air and water quality projects and activities at the company’s refineries, oil and gas producing facilities and marketing facilities. For 2003, the company estimates U.S. capital expenditures for environmental control facilities will be $287 million. The future annual capital costs of fulfilling this commitment are uncertain and will be governed by several factors, including future changes to regulatory requirements.

      Further information on environmental matters and their impact on ChevronTexaco, and the company’s 2002 environmental expenditures, remediation provisions and year-end environmental reserves are contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on pages FS-13 and FS-14 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      Chevron Products Company’s (a division of Chevron U.S.A. Inc.) Richmond, California, refinery has been issued approximately 40 Notices of Violation during the calendar years 2001 and 2002, which allege non-compliance with the regulations of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. The Notices of Violation address a variety of issues related to air emissions including, but not limited to, leaks of volatile organic compounds from the facility’s processing equipment. The company has determined that the Notices of Violation will likely result in the payment of a civil penalty in excess of $100,000.

      B.     Clean Air Act — New Source Review Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Negotiations

      EPA has initiated a national enforcement initiative involving the refining industry, focused on New Source Review requirements under the Clean Air Act. In response to this initiative, ChevronTexaco and EPA are negotiating the potential or actual settlement of any environmental claims at the Company’s refineries that may fall within the scope of the initiative. If a settlement is consummated, it is reasonably anticipated to involve the payment of civil penalties exceeding $100,000.

     Because of their nature and sufficiently large amounts, the special items in the table above are identified separately to help explain the changes in net income and segment income between periods as well as to help distinguish the underlying trends for the company’s businesses. The categories “Merger-related expenses” and “Extraordinary Loss from Merger-Related Asset Sales” are amounts in 2001 and 2002 that are described in detail in the “Texaco Merger Transaction” section on page FS-3. Other special items are discussed in detail for each major operating area in the “Results of Operations” section beginning on page FS-4.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

As shown in the “Special Items” table, large special-item charges adversely affected net income in 2002 and 2001. In 2002, $2.3 billion of the $3.3 billion of net charges related to the company’s investment in its Dynegy Inc. affiliate. Refer to pages FS-7 and FS-8 for discussion of these matters. Approximately one half of the $3.5 billion of net charges in 2001 related to asset impairments, primarily the result of downward revisions to crude oil and natural gas reserve quantities. These items are discussed in the U.S. and international exploration and production analyses of segment income beginning on page FS-4. Other major charges against earnings in 2002 and 2001 related to the Texaco merger transaction, which is discussed on page FS-3.

     Apart from the effects of special items, ChevronTexaco’s earnings depend largely on the profitability of its upstream — exploration and production — and downstream — refining, marketing and transportation — businesses. Overall earnings trends are typically less affected by results from the company’s commodity chemicals sector and investments in other businesses. Key components of the company’s competitive position, particularly given the capital-intensive infrastructure and the commodity-based nature of many of its products, are the ability to invest capital in projects that provide adequate financial returns and managing operating expenses successfully. The company also continuously evaluates opportunities to acquire assets or operations complementary to its asset base to help sustain the company’s growth. During 2003, the company intends to evaluate and determine which assets in its overall post-merger portfolio are key to providing long-term value. Accordingly, certain asset dispositions may result.

     Comments related to earnings trends for the company’s major business areas are as follows:

     Upstream Year-to-year changes in exploration and production earnings align most closely with industry price levels for crude oil and natural gas. Crude oil and natural gas prices are subject to certain external factors, over which the company has no control, including product demand connected with global economic conditions, industry inventory levels, weather-related damages and disruptions, competing fuel prices, and the regional supply interruptions that may be caused by military conflicts or political uncertainty. Longer-term trends in earnings for this segment are also a function of a range of factors in addition to price trends, including the company’s ability to find or acquire reserves and efficiently produce them.

     Average worldwide industry prices for crude oil in 2002 were little changed from 2001. However, the company’s average natural gas realization in the United States fell about one third from the prior year and contributed to the decline in the company’s U.S segment income between periods. Segment income in 2002 for

international operations reflected relatively little change in prices for both crude oil and natural gas.

     During 2002, industry price levels for crude oil trended upward from the $20 per-barrel level to about $30. In early March 2003, the spot price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a benchmark crude oil was quoted between $35 and $40 per barrel — a 12-year high. Benchmark prices for Henry Hub U.S. natural gas started 2002 in the low-$2 range per thousand cubic feet and also trended upward during the year, to about the $5 level. Through mid-March 2003, the benchmark natural gas price was volatile and averaged about $7 per thousand cubic feet for that period. The relatively strong prices for crude oil in early 2003 in part reflected the geopolitical uncertainty in Iraq and Venezuela. The higher U.S. natural gas price was primarily attributable to falling inventory storage levels reflecting withdrawals to meet the demands of a cold winter over much of the United States.

     Segment income during 2002 was also dampened by lower worldwide oil-equivalent production — down 3 percent from 2001 levels. Part of the production decline was the result of OPEC quotas, which accounted for a decrease in Nigeria of about 30,000 barrels of crude oil per day in 2002. Storms in the Gulf of Mexico reduced 2002 oil-equivalent production by about 20,000 barrels per day. The impact of revised terms on a production-sharing contract in Indonesia lowered 2002 net oil-equivalent production by about 25,000 barrels per day. Absent these effects, worldwide oil-equivalent production was at about the same level in both years. The expected production level in 2003 and beyond is uncertain, in part because of the possibility of additional quota adjustments by OPEC and the potential for local civil unrest and changing geopolitics that could cause production disruptions. Capital expenditures are weighted heavily to international areas due to the greater number of economic opportunities.

     Downstream Refining, marketing and transportation earnings are closely tied to regional demand and industry refining and marketing margins. Other, company-specific, factors influencing the company’s profitability in this segment include the operating efficiencies of its refinery network, including any downtime due to operating incidents and maintenance.

     Industry margins worldwide were strong in the early part of 2001 but trended downward worldwide during the year, as worldwide demand for refined products weakened. By early 2002, ChevronTexaco margins were at their lowest levels since the mid-1990s, as weak market conditions would not allow feedstock costs to be fully recovered from consumers of refined products. As a result, worldwide earnings plummeted between 2001 and 2002 to below break-even. Additionally, the decline in earnings from 2001 included the absence of ongoing earnings from U.S. downstream assets that were sold as a condition of the merger. Into early 2003, U.S. refined products margins strengthened on the combined effects of the general strike in Venezuela, colder-than-normal winter weather and low inventory levels. Based on current industry and economic conditions, the company does not expect a rebound of earnings for this segment in 2003 to levels similar to 2001 and 2000.

     Chemicals Earnings for the company’s Oronite subsidiary improved in 2002, and losses from the 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Co. LLC affiliate were lower. Demand and margins for commodity chemicals have been at low levels for a protracted period, and significant improvement is not expected in the near future.

TEXACO MERGER TRANSACTION

Basis of Presentation On October 9, 2001, Texaco Inc. (Texaco) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (Chevron) pursuant to a merger transaction, and Chevron changed its name to ChevronTexaco Corporation. Certain operations that were jointly owned by the combining companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements. These operations are primarily those of the Caltex Group of Companies, which was previously owned 50 percent each by Chevron and Texaco. The combination was accounted for as a pooling of interests, and the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for all periods are presented as if Chevron and Texaco had always been combined.

     Merger Effects Under mandate of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as a condition to FTC approval of the merger, the company sold its interests in Equilon and Motiva — joint ventures engaged in U.S. downstream businesses — in February 2002, resulting in cash proceeds of $2.2 billion, including dividends due. Indemnification by ChevronTexaco against certain Equilon and Motiva contingent liabilities at the date of sale are discussed in the “Guarantees, Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations, and Other Contingencies” section beginning on page FS-10. Other mandated asset dispositions were also completed during 2002. Net income and cash proceeds from these other sales were not material. Net income during 2001 for all assets that were sold as a condition of the merger was approximately $375 million. The net loss on assets sold under the FTC mandate is presented in the 2001 income statement as an extraordinary item.

     The company incurred before-tax merger-related expenses of $1.563 billion ($1.136 billion after tax) and $576 million ($386 million after tax) in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Major expenses included employee severance payments; incremental pension and medical plan benefit costs associated with workforce reductions; legal, accounting, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing and investment banker fees; employee and office relocations; and costs for the elimination of redundant facilities and operations. No significant merger-related expenses are anticipated for 2003.

     Included in merger-related expenses were accruals of $891 million and $60 million in 2001 and 2002, respectively, for severance-related benefits for approximately 4,500 employees and other merger-related expenses that will not benefit future operations.

     Activity for this accrual balance is summarized in the table below:

     Of the 4,500 employees to be terminated, approximately 450 remained on the payroll at December 31, 2002. The year-end 2002 accrual balance is not expected to be extinguished for approximately two years, reflecting a severance payment deferral option exercised by some employees.

OPERATING DEVELOPMENTS

Operating developments and events during 2002 and early 2003 included:

     Worldwide Oil and Gas Reserves and Production The company added approximately 1.1 billion barrels of oil-equivalent reserves during 2002. These additions equated to 114 percent of production for the year. Included were nearly 600 million barrels of oil-equivalent from major discoveries and extensions in Africa, Australia, Europe and China. Additionally, 500 million barrels were added through improved recovery and expansion projects, primarily in Africa, Eurasia and California. Worldwide oil-equivalent production declined in 2002 about 3 percent, compared with 2001 and about 4 percent compared with 2000. The decreases between years reflect lower U.S. production levels, partially offset by increased international production.

     U.S. Gulf of Mexico Two deepwater discoveries were made — Tahiti and Great White — and are in the process of being evaluated. ChevronTexaco, with a 58 percent interest, operates the Tahiti prospect. The company has a one-third non-operated interest in Great White. In December, the company submitted an application to construct and operate the Port Pelican Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) receiving and regasification terminal, located approximately 50 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. Phase 1 of the project is designed to process up to 800 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and will connect to existing infrastructure along the Gulf Coast. ChevronTexaco’s interest is 100 percent. LNG projects like Port Pelican can help offset the effect of an expected long-term decline in the industry’s U.S. natural gas production.

     Angola The eighth and ninth discoveries — Gabela and Negage — were announced in ChevronTexaco-operated deepwater Block 14. These latest discoveries will be followed by geological and engineering studies to assess their reserve potential. The company, as operator, holds a 31 percent interest in Block 14.

     Nigeria A second oil discovery — Usan — was made in the non-operated deepwater Nigeria Block OPL 222, where the company holds a 30 percent interest. The prospect is approximately 60 miles offshore in a water depth greater than 2,000 feet. The company also confirmed its deepwater Block OPL 213 Aparo oil discovery (100 percent company interest) with a successful appraisal well. The Aparo discovery shares a structure with an adjacent concession and will likely become part of a joint oil development.

     U.K. North Sea The company announced first oil from Alba Extreme South, the latest phase in the field’s development in which ChevronTexaco, as operator, has a 21 percent interest. The phased development expansion is expected near-term to add more than 50,000 barrels of oil per day to Alba production (100 percent field basis), offsetting existing production declines and maintaining a plateau rate of up to 100,000 barrels of oil per day. The Caledonia Field produced first oil in February 2003 with total production expected to average about 10,000 barrels of crude oil per day during 2003. ChevronTexaco is operator with a 27 percent interest.

     Tengiz Following a delay in late 2002, Tengizchevroil (TCO) announced in early 2003 that its partners had approved the detailed engineering and construction of the Second Generation Program and Sour Gas Injection Project. These two projects are expected to increase TCO’s oil production capacity from the current rate of about 285,000 barrels per day to between 430,000 and 500,000 barrels per day. Current development plans call for the two projects to be completed mid-2006. ChevronTexaco has a 50 percent ownership interest in TCO.

     Australia The People’s Republic of China selected the North West Shelf Venture, in which ChevronTexaco has a one-sixth interest, as the sole supplier of LNG to the proposed Guangdong LNG project in southern China. A conditional 25-year LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement for more than 3.9 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (equivalent to about 400 million cubic feet per day) was signed in October.

     China The company entered into a unitization agreement with China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) in October to jointly develop the Bozhong Field in Bohai Bay. This is the first unitization agreement between CNOOC and a foreign partner. ChevronTexaco holds an approximate 16 percent interest.

     U.S. Refining An expansion project to produce low sulfur motor gasoline and diesel at the company’s Pascagoula, Mississippi, refinery will become operational during the first quarter of 2003.

     Chemicals In Qatar, a world-scale olefins and polyolefins complex is currently being commissioned. The facility is owned and operated by Qatar Chemical Company, a joint venture between Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem), the company’s 50 percent-owned petrochemical affiliate, and its partner Qatar General Petroleum. CPChem has signed agreements to develop a second petrochemical complex in Qatar. The project will include a world-scale olefins facility, along with derivatives units. Final approvals are anticipated in mid-2004.

     U.S. Natural Gas Marketing The company’s natural gas purchase and sale agreements with its 26 percent-owned Dynegy affiliate were terminated at the end of January 2003. Under the transition arrangements, Dynegy is to act in an agency role for the company until the contracts become managed by ChevronTexaco Natural Gas — a new wholesale natural gas marketing unit that is expected to be fully operational in April 2003. The contract terminations followed Dynegy’s decision to exit the gas trading and marketing business as part of a companywide restructuring plan. See page FS-8 for information related to the company’s investment in Dynegy.

Major Business Areas The following section presents the results of operations for the company’s business segments as well as for the departments and companies managed at the corporate level. To aid in the understanding of changes in segment income between periods, the discussion is in two parts - first, on underlying trends and second, for special items that tended to obscure these trends.

     Segment income in 2002 reflected significantly lower natural gas realizations and an 11 percent decrease in natural gas production. Also contributing to the earnings decline was lower liquids production, which dropped 2 percent from 2001 levels. Lower earnings in 2001 from 2000 partially resulted from significantly lower liquids realizations and lower oil-equivalent production, offset by higher natural gas prices.

FS-4


Table of Contents

     The average natural gas realization was $2.89 per thousand cubic feet in 2002, compared with $4.38 and $3.87 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The company’s average 2002 U.S. liquids realization was $21.34 per barrel, compared with $21.33 in 2001 and $25.61 in 2000.

     Net oil-equivalent production averaged 1.002 million barrels per day in 2002, down 6 percent from 2001 and 13 percent from 2000. The net liquids component for 2002 averaged 602,000 barrels per day, down 2 percent from 2001 and 10 percent from 2000. Net natural gas production averaged 2.4 billion cubic feet per day in 2002, down 11 percent from 2001 and 17 percent from 2000. The company’s 2002 production of crude oil and natural gas was constrained by tropical storms that occurred in September and October in the Gulf of Mexico. The storms reduced the company’s 2002 oil-equivalent production by about 20,000 barrels per day, split equally between liquids and natural gas. The negative impact on the company’s net income was about $100 million, including casualty losses for the uninsured portion of property damages and associated costs. In addition to the impacts of the storms on 2002 production, the lower oil-equivalent production reflected normal field declines and the absence of production from assets sold in 2001, partially offset by new and enhanced production in the deepwater and other areas of the Gulf of Mexico. The reductions in net natural gas production reflected, in part, steep decline rates in areas of the Gulf of Mexico Shelf that were brought onto production in late 2000 and early 2001 to take advantage of a period of high natural gas prices.

     Special items during the three years included asset write-offs and revaluations resulting mainly from asset impairments caused by write-downs in proved oil and gas reserve quantities for various fields. In 2001, a $1.0 billion impairment was recorded for the Midway Sunset Field in California’s San Joaquin Valley, upon determining lower-than-projected oil recovery from the field’s steam-injection process.

     The earnings improvement in 2002 versus 2001 was marginally affected by a combination of higher liquids realizations and natural gas production and lower exploration and income tax expense, offset in part by lower liquids production and natural gas realizations and higher depreciation expense. The earnings decline in 2001 versus 2000 reflected lower average liquids realizations, the effect of which was partially offset by a 3 percent increase in oil-equivalent production and higher natural gas prices.

     The average liquids realization, including equity affiliates, was $23.06 per barrel in 2002, compared with $22.17 in 2001 and $26.04 in 2000. The average natural gas realization was $2.14 per thousand cubic feet in 2002, compared with $2.36 in 2001 and $2.09 in 2000.

     Daily net liquids production of 1.295 million barrels in 2002 decreased about 4 percent from 1.345 million barrels in 2001 and about 3 percent from 1.330 million barrels in 2000. Production decreases during 2002 in Indonesia, primarily due to changes in contractual terms, and Nigeria, primarily due to OPEC constraints, were slightly offset by increased production in Kazakhstan. During 2001, increases in Kazakhstan more than offset lower volumes from Indonesia.

     Net natural gas production of 1.971 billion cubic feet per day in 2002 was up 15 percent from 2001 and more than 26 pe
