PART I
Item 1. Business
  (a) General Development of Business
Summary Description of ChevronTexaco
      ChevronTexaco Corporation,1 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 conducts business activities 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 pipeline, marine vessel, motor equipment and rail car. Chemicals operations include the manufacture and marketing, by affiliates, of commodity petrochemicals 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 and E-5 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of December 31, 2004, ChevronTexaco had more than 56,000 employees (including about 9,300 service station employees). Approximately 25,000, or 45 percent, of the company’s employees were employed in U.S. operations.
Overview of Petroleum Industry
      Petroleum industry operations and profitability are influenced by many factors, and individual petroleum companies have little control over some of them. 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. Variations in the components of refined products sales due to seasonality are not primary drivers of changes in the company’s overall annual earnings.
      Strong competition exists in all sectors of the petroleum and petrochemical industries in supplying the energy, fuel and chemical needs of industry and individual consumers. ChevronTexaco competes with fully integrated major petroleum companies, as well as independent and national petroleum companies for the acquisition of crude oil and natural 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 through FS-21 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.
 
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 stated otherwise, it 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.

Risk Factors
      ChevronTexaco is a major fully integrated petroleum company with a diversified business portfolio, strong balance sheet, and a history of generating sufficient cash to fund capital and exploratory expenditures and to pay dividends. Nevertheless, some inherent risks could materially impact the company’s financial results of operations or financial condition.
ChevronTexaco is exposed to the effects of changing commodity prices.
      ChevronTexaco is primarily in a commodities business with a history of price volatility. The single largest variable that affects the company’s results of operations is crude oil prices. Except in the ordinary course of running an integrated petroleum business, ChevronTexaco does not seek to hedge its exposure to price changes. A significant, persistent decline in crude oil prices may have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and its capital and exploratory expenditure plans.
The scope of ChevronTexaco’s business will decline if the company does not successfully develop resources.
      The company is in an extractive business; therefore, if ChevronTexaco is not successful in replacing the crude oil and natural gas it produces with good prospects for future production, the company’s business will decline. Creating and maintaining an inventory of projects depends on many factors, including obtaining rights to explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons in promising areas, drilling success, ability to bring long lead-time, capital intensive projects to completion on budget and schedule, and efficient and profitable operation of mature properties.
The company’s operations could be disrupted by natural or human factors.
      ChevronTexaco operates in both urban areas and remote and sometimes inhospitable regions. The company’s operations and facilities are therefore subject to disruption from either natural or human causes, including hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, civil unrest, fires and explosions, any of which could result in suspension of operations, or harm to people or the natural environment.
ChevronTexaco’s business subjects the company to liability risks.
      The company produces, transports, refines and markets materials with potential toxicity, and it purchases, handles and disposes of other potentially toxic materials in the course of the company’s business. ChevronTexaco operations also produce byproducts, which may be considered pollutants. Any of these activities could result in liability, either as a result of an accidental, unlawful discharge or as a result of new conclusions on the effects of the company’s operations on human health or the environment.
Political instability could harm ChevronTexaco’s business.
      The company’s operations, particularly exploration and production, can be affected by changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which it operates. As has occurred in the past, actions could be taken by host governments to increase public ownership of the company’s partially– or wholly owned businesses, and/or to impose additional taxes or royalties.
      In certain locations, host governments have imposed restrictions, controls and taxes, and in others, political conditions have existed that may threaten the safety of employees and the company’s continued presence in those countries. Internal unrest, acts of violence or strained relations between a host government and the company or other governments may affect the company’s operations. Those developments have, at times, significantly affected the company’s related operations and results, and are carefully considered by management when evaluating the level of current and future activity in such countries. At December 31, 2004, approximately 27 percent of the company’s proved reserves were located in Kazakhstan. The company also has significant interests in Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)-member countries

including Indonesia, Nigeria and Venezuela. Approximately 25 percent of the company’s net proved reserves, including affiliates, were located in OPEC countries at December 31, 2004.
ChevronTexaco Strategic Direction
      ChevronTexaco’s primary objective is to achieve sustained financial returns from its operations that will enable it to outperform its competitors. The company set a goal to generate the highest total stockholder return (based on a combination of stock price appreciation and reinvested dividends) among a designated peer group for the five-year period 2000-2004. BP, ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell – among the world’s largest publicly traded integrated petroleum companies – comprised the company’s designated competitor peer group for this purpose. For the five years ending December 31, 2004, ChevronTexaco tied one other company in the peer group for the highest total stockholder return.
As a foundation for attaining this goal, the company had established four key priorities, which continue into 2005:
  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).
 
  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 primary areas described above.
           The company’s long-term strategies for its largest businesses build on this framework and focus on balancing financial returns and growth. The strategies for upstream (exploration and production) are to grow profitability in core areas, build new legacy positions, and commercialize the company’s natural gas equity resource base by targeting North American and Asian markets. The primary strategy for downstream (refining, marketing and transportation) is to continue to improve returns by focusing on areas of market and supply strength.
(b) Description of Business and Properties
      The upstream and downstream activities of the company are widely dispersed geographically. The company has operations in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Middle East, Central and Far East Asia, and Australia. Besides the large upstream and downstream businesses, the company’s other comparatively smaller business segment is chemicals, which is conducted by the company’s 50 percent-owned affiliate – Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) – and the wholly owned Chevron Oronite Company (Chevron Oronite). CPChem has operations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Singapore, China, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Mexico and Belgium. Chevron Oronite is a fuel and lubricating-oil additives business that owns and operates facilities in the United States, France, the Netherlands, Singapore and Japan and has equity interests in facilities in India and Mexico.
      ChevronTexaco also owns an approximate 25 percent equity interest in the common stock of Dynegy Inc. (Dynegy), an energy provider engaged in power generation, gathering and processing of natural gas, and the fractionation, storage, transportation and marketing of natural gas liquids. The company holds an additional investment in Dynegy preferred stock. Refer to page FS-11 and Note 8 on page FS-36 for further information relating to the company’s investment in Dynegy.
      Tabulations of segment sales and other operating revenues, earnings, income taxes for the three years ending December 31, 2004, and assets as of the end of each year — for the United States and the company’s major international geographic areas — may be found in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements beginning on page FS-36 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 14 and 15 on pages FS-39 to FS-41.

In 2004, ChevronTexaco conducted its exploration and production operations in the United States and approximately 25 other countries. Worldwide oil-equivalent production in 2004, including volumes produced from oil sands and production under an operating service agreement, declined approximately 5 percent from 2003. The decline was largely the result of lower production in the United States due to normal field declines, property sales and curtailments as a result of damages to producing operations from hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in September 2004. International oil-equivalent production was down marginally between years. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section beginning on page FS-6 for a detailed discussion of the factors explaining the 2002-2004 changes in production for crude oil and natural gas liquids and natural gas.
      For the past six years, the company’s worldwide oil-equivalent production, including the volumes produced from oil sands and production under an operating service agreement, has followed a downward trend. Production in 2004 was 85 percent of 1998 levels, equivalent to an average annual decline rate of about 3 percent. For 2005, the company again expects worldwide oil-equivalent production to be lower. Increases internationally in 2005 are not expected to fully offset lower rates in the United States, which the company projects will result largely from normal field declines and the absence of production associated with property sales. The actual level of worldwide production in 2005 remains uncertain for reasons including the potential for constraints imposed by OPEC, and disruptions caused by weather, local civil unrest and other factors. Production capacity in the 2006-2008 period may permit the worldwide oil-equivalent production level to increase from that expected in 2005. Refer to the “Review of Ongoing Exploration and Production Activities in Key Areas” beginning on page 11 for a discussion of the company’s major oil and gas development projects.
Acreage
      At December 31, 2004, 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 following table.

Reserves
      Table V, beginning on page FS-63, sets forth the company’s proved net oil and gas reserves, by geographic area, as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Also, refer to Table V for a discussion of major changes to proved reserves by geographic area for 2004. During 2004, the company provided oil and gas reserves estimates for 2003 to the Department of Energy, Energy Information Agency. Such estimates are consistent with and do not differ more than 5 percent from the information furnished to the SEC in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. During 2005, the company will file estimates of oil and gas reserves with the Department of Energy, Energy Information Agency, consistent with the reserve data reported in Table V.
Contract Obligations
      The company sells crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids 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.
      In the United States, the company is contractually committed to deliver to third parties and affiliates approximately 180 billion cubic feet of natural gas through 2007 from United States reserves. The company believes it can satisfy these contracts from quantities available from production of the company’s proved developed U.S. reserves. These contracts include variable-pricing terms.

Table of Contents

      Outside the United States, the company is contractually committed to deliver to third parties approximately 700 billion cubic feet of natural gas through 2007 from Australian, Canadian, Colombian and Philippine reserves. The sales contracts contain variable pricing formulas that are generally referenced to the prevailing market price for crude oil, natural gas or other petroleum products at the time of delivery and that in some cases consider inflation or other factors.
      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 company plans to meet its Canadian contractual delivery commitments through third-party purchases.
Development Activities
      Details of the company’s development expenditures and costs of proved property acquisitions for 2004, 2003 and 2002 are presented in Table I on page FS-58.
      The table below summarizes the company’s net interest in productive and dry development wells completed in each of the past three years and the status of the company’s development wells drilling at December 31, 2004.

Table of Contents

Consolidated Operations
  (WORLD MAP DIAGRAM)
a) United States
      The United States upstream activities are concentrated in the Gulf of Mexico, California, Louisiana, Texas, New Mexico and the Rocky Mountains. Average daily net production during 2004 was approximately 505,000 barrels of liquids and 1.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas, or 817,000 barrels per day on an oil-equivalent basis. The company announced plans in 2003 to sell interests in nonstrategic producing properties in the United States, and during 2004 substantially all of the larger asset packages were sold. The effect of these sales on 2004 net oil-equivalent production was about 30,000 barrels per day. The remaining properties earmarked for sale are expected to be disposed of during 2005 and represent less than 1 percent of the U.S. oil-equivalent production at the end of 2004. Refer to Table V beginning on page FS-63 for a discussion of the reserves and different characteristics for the major U.S. producing areas.
     
(CALIFORNIA DIAGRAM)
 
California: The company has significant production in the San Joaquin Valley. In 2004, average daily net production was 217,000 barrels of crude oil, 108 million cubic feet of natural gas and 4,000 barrels of natural gas liquids, or 239,000 barrels of daily net production on an oil-equivalent basis. Approximately 84 percent of the crude oil production is considered heavy oil (typically with API gravity lower than 22 degrees).
     
(GULF OF MEXICO DIAGRAM)
  Gulf of Mexico: Combining the company’s interest in the shelf and deepwater areas and on-shore Louisiana, average daily net production rates during 2004 were 138,000 barrels of crude oil, 815 million cubic feet of natural gas and 16,000 barrels of natural gas liquids, or approximately 290,000 oil-equivalent barrels daily.

In deepwater, the company has an interest in three significant producing fields: Genesis, Petronius and Typhoon. Petronius, 50 percent-owned and operated, maintained a daily net production of 14,000 barrels of crude oil and 25 million cubic feet of natural gas in 2004.

12


Table of Contents

      The 57 percent-owned and operated Genesis averaged daily net production of approximately 13,000 barrels of crude oil and 18 million cubic feet of natural gas in 2004. Petronius production was shut-in for repairs following hurricane damage in September 2004, and is expected to resume producing in March 2005. Typhoon, which is 50 percent-owned and operated, had average daily net production of approximately 11,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 14 million cubic feet of natural gas in 2004, including production from the Boris Field that utilizes the Typhoon production facility.
      Development continues on the company-operated Perseus and Tahiti projects, which are not yet on production. The company’s ownership interests are 50 percent and 58 percent, respectively. At Perseus, platform rig damage due to the September 2004 hurricane delayed the estimated completion of the first producing well until April 2005. A second production well is scheduled to follow in the first quarter 2006. Average net production in 2005 from the first Perseus well through the Petronius facilities is estimated at more than 4,000 net barrels of oil-equivalent per day after start-up. The initial booking of proved undeveloped reserves occurred in 2003 and a reclassification of certain reserves to proved developed will occur in early 2005, prior to the start of production from the first well. The Perseus project has an estimated production life of between six and nine years. At Tahiti, engineering and equipment procurement was in process during 2004. A successful well test of the original discovery well was also conducted in 2004. Initial booking of proved undeveloped reserves occurred in 2003, and transfer of certain reserves into the proved developed category is anticipated in 2008, when first production is scheduled to begin. Tahiti is expected to have a production life of 25 years.
      In Gulf of Mexico exploration, the company participated in 11 deepwater exploratory wells during 2004 and announced two discoveries — the 50 percent-owned and operated Jack prospect and the 17 percent-owned and nonoperated Tobago prospect. Further evaluation of commercial potential also continued on the 2003 discovery at the 30 percent-owned and nonoperated Tubular Bells prospect with additional follow-up drilling planned for the 2005-to-2006 timeframe. Commercial appraisal work also continues at the nonoperated 33 percent-owned Great White Field, including an additional well that is planned in 2005, and at the nonoperated 13 percent-owned Saint Malo discovery. Proved reserves have not been recognized for these projects. Appraisal drilling also occurred in 2004 at the 63 percent-owned and operated Blind Faith. Initial production is expected by early 2008. No proved reserves have been recognized for this project. The 75 percent-owned and operated Tonga prospect was drilled in 2003 and the data from this well is under evaluation.
      In December 2004, the company announced it had finalized a 20-year agreement for regasification capacity at the proposed Sabine Pass liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal. In November 2004, the company announced it had plans to submit federal and state permit applications for a regasification terminal to import LNG located at its Pascagoula Refinery.
      Other U.S. Areas: Outside of California and the Gulf of Mexico, the company manages operations in the midcontinent United States extending from the Rockies to southern Texas. In 2004, average daily net production was 130,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 950 million cubic feet of natural gas.

(ANGOLA DIAGRAM)
  Angola: ChevronTexaco is the largest producer of crude oil and liquefied petroleum gases in Angola. The company was the first to produce in the deepwater. Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Limited (CABGOC), a wholly owned subsidiary of ChevronTexaco, is operator of two concessions, Block 0 and Block 14, off the west coast of Angola, north of the Congo River. 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 two areas – A and B – composed of 19 fields producing 116,000 barrels per day of net liquids in 2004. Area A, comprising 13 producing fields, averaged net daily production of approximately 78,000 barrels of crude oil and 1,000 barrels of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in 2004. Area B, which is now the combination of areas previously known as Area B and Area C, has six producing fields and averaged daily net production of 37,000 barrels of crude oil in 2004. In 2004, the company finalized a 20-year extension of its Block 0 concession, which will expire in 2030. The Sanha condensate gas utilization and Bomboco crude oil project, located in Area B, began operations with the installation of facilities and the start of production in late 2004. Initial recognition of proved reserves was made at the end of 2002. Initial reclassification of reserves from proved undeveloped to proved developed occurred in 2004 and will continue in 2005 and 2006.
      In Block 14, net production in 2004 from the Kuito Field, Angola’s first deepwater producing area, averaged approximately 18,000 net barrels of crude oil per day. The development plans for the Benguela, Belize, Lobito and Tomboco fields in Block 14 were approved in 2003. Phase 1 of the $2.2 billion project involves the installation of an integrated drilling and production platform and the development of the Benguela and Belize fields, projected for first oil in early 2006. Proved undeveloped reserves for these fields were booked in 1998. Phase 2 involves the installation of subsea systems, pipelines and wells for Lobito and Tomboco. Proved undeveloped reserves for these fields were booked in 2000. Phase 2 is under construction, with first oil planned for late 2006. After both phases are completed, maximum total daily production is estimated at more than 200,000 barrels of crude oil in 2008. Some proved developed reserves will be recognized near to the time of first oil. The concession for these fields will expire in 2027.
      The Landana and Tombua fields were discovered in 1997 and 2001, respectively, and appraisal drilling was done from 1998 through 2002. Proved undeveloped reserves for Tombua and Landana were booked in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Feasibility studies were completed in 2004 for the Tombua-Landana development, which is targeted as the next major capital project for Block 14 and is currently in front-end engineering. Estimated capital expenditures for the development exceed $2 billion. Proved developed reserves will start to be recognized near the time of first production.
      ChevronTexaco has two other concessions in Angola. Block 2, 20 percent-owned and operated, and Block FST, in which the company has a 16 percent nonoperated interest, had a combined net production of nearly 6,000 barrels of crude oil per day in 2004.
      The Angola LNG Project is an integrated gas utilization project. ChevronTexaco and Sonangol, the state oil company of Angola, are co-leading the project in which the company has a 36 percent interest. Front-end engineering and design work is expected to start in the first half of 2005.
      Chad-Cameroon: ChevronTexaco is a non-operating partner in a project to develop oil fields in southern Chad and transport crude oil by pipeline to the coast of Cameroon for export. Net daily production in 2004 was 37,000 barrels of crude oil. All three of the original fields are now on production. Proved undeveloped reserves were booked in 2000 and began to be reclassified to proved developed reserves in 2002. The production life of the field is estimated at 30 years.

ChevronTexaco has a 25 percent interest in the upstream operations and an approximate 21 percent interest in the pipeline.
      Equatorial Guinea: ChevronTexaco is a 45 percent partner and operator of the L Block offshore the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. The first exploration well, Ballena-1, was completed in 2003. In the fourth quarter 2004, ChevronTexaco initiated partial farm-out activities and, if completed, plans to drill two stratigraphic prospects in Block L.
      Libya: In early 2005, the company was awarded Block 177 in Libya’s first exploration license round under the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement IV. The company was also made operator of Block 177 with 100 percent equity.
     
(NIGERIA DIAGRAM)
  Nigeria: ChevronTexaco’s principal subsidiary in Nigeria, Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), operates and holds a 40 percent interest in 11 concessions, predominantly in the onshore 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. Effective November 2004, all the rights, duties, obligations, assets and liabilities of TOPCON and COCNL were merged into CNL.

In 2004, daily net production from the 38 operated fields averaged 117,000 barrels of crude oil, 2,000 barrels of LPG and 59 million cubic feet of natural gas. Certain onshore operations in the western Niger Delta were suspended in March 2003 as a result of community disturbance.
      Net onshore production capacity of about 45,000 barrels of oil per day has been shut-in since March 2003. The company has adopted a phased plan to restore these operations and has taken initial steps to determine the extent of damage and secure the properties. The company has begun initial production-resumption efforts in certain areas. The Abiteye Field, closest to the Escravos terminal, was returned to production in 2004. Restoration activities in the remaining fields will continue through 2006.
      In May 2004, ChevronTexaco received a 100 percent contractor interest under a production-sharing contract arrangement in OPL (Oil Prospecting License)-247. This agreement further increased the company’s leading acreage position in the Nigerian deepwater trend.
      The company also continued activities in the deepwater Agbami development. Significant progress was made toward achieving final governmental approvals and executing key agreements. During 2004, the company drilled four development wells. In early 2005, the Agbami Development had achieved the following major milestones: conversion of OPL-216 and OPL-217 to OML (Oil Mining Lease)-127 and OML-128, approval of the Field Development Plan, award of the floating production, storage, and offloading unit (FPSO) contract, concurrence on the Unit Agreement and project funding approval by partners. Proved undeveloped reserves were recognized for this project in 2002. Prior to the anticipated production start-up, in 2008, proved undeveloped reserves would be reclassified to proved developed reserves. The expected field life is approximately 20 years. ChevronTexaco’s share of contractor’s interest under the Agbami production-sharing contract arrangements are 80 percent in OML-127 and approximately 46 percent in OML-128.
      In August 2003, the Aparo discovery on OPL-213 was extended with a delineation well on OPL-249. The Aparo/ Bonga SW fields straddle OPL-212, OPL-213 and OPL-249. ChevronTexaco signed an agreement with the operator of OPL-212 in 2004 to conduct technical studies in pursuit of a unitized joint development of the Aparo/ Bonga SW discovery. The timing of recognition of proved undeveloped reserves will depend on the completion of these studies and subsequent

unitization. Also on Block OPL-249, which contains the 2003 Nsiko discovery, two additional appraisal wells were drilled in 2004. Both wells confirmed the presence of producible crude oil over the entire structure.
      OPL-222 activities continued in 2004 with the appraisal program for the greater Usan area and successful drilling of the fifth and sixth wells. Proved undeveloped reserves were recorded in 2004 for the Usan Field with development planned to enter the basic engineering phase in 2005. Initial production is estimated to occur in 2009 before which time certain proved undeveloped reserves would be reclassified to proved developed reserves. The company holds a 30 percent interest in this project.
      At the Escravos Gas Project (EGP), onshore and offshore engineering, procurement and construction bids were received in 2003. Bids were reissued in 2004 following a review of the project design and scope. Start-up is expected in 2008 and includes adding a second gas plant with 395 million cubic feet of capacity, which would increase capacity to 680 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and increase LPG and condensate exports to 43,000 barrels per day. ChevronTexaco holds a 40 percent interest in this project.
      The company is also pursuing a planned gas-to-liquids facility at Escravos. Lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction bids for the planned gas-to-liquids facility at Escravos were opened in May 2004. Construction is expected to begin during 2005, pending finalization of fiscal terms. The project is the first to use the technology and operational expertise of the Sasol Chevron global 50-50 joint venture. Project start-up is expected in 2008. Proved undeveloped reserves associated with EGP were recognized in 2002. These reserves will be reclassified to proved developed reserves as various stages of EGP and related projects are completed.
      In November 2004, the company and its partners in the Brass LNG Project located in Nigeria’s central Niger Delta, awarded the contract for front-end engineering and design of its two-train liquefied natural gas facility. The project is expected to start up in 2010. No proved reserves have been recognized for this project.
      In early 2005, the company announced plans to conduct a feasibility study on a potential LNG project at Olokola in southwest Nigeria. Future decisions to move forward with Olokola LNG will depend on the results of the feasibility study.
      Nigeria - São Tomé and Príncipe Joint Development Zone (JDZ): The company was awarded JDZ Block 1 in 2004. In early 2005, the company signed a production sharing contract with the Joint Development Authority, under which ChevronTexaco will be the operator with a 51 percent interest.
      Republic of Congo: ChevronTexaco has a 30 percent interest in Nkossa, Nsoko and Moho-Bilondo exploitation permits and a 29 percent interest in the Marine VII Kitina and Sounda exploitation permits, all of which are offshore Republic of Congo and adjacent to the company’s concessions in Angola. Net production from the company’s concessions in the Republic of Congo averaged 12,000 barrels of crude oil per day in 2004. Assessment of the Moho and Bilondo satellite fields progressed during 2004, with the drilling of the MOBIM 1 well. Work is in progress to determine the development plan for the field.
      Southern Africa: Appraisal drilling is planned in 2005 to assess the size and commerciality of the successful Lianzi-1 well drilled in the 14K/A-IMI Unit, located between the Republic of Congo and Angola, in which the company is operator and holds an approximate 31 percent interest. Timing is uncertain regarding the recognition of proved reserves.

c) Asia-Pacific
     
(AUSTRALIA DIAGRAM)
  Australia: ChevronTexaco has a 17 percent interest in the North West Shelf (NWS) Project offshore Western Australia. Daily net production from the project during 2004 averaged 17,000 barrels of condensate, 305 million cubic feet of natural gas, 15,000 barrels of crude oil and 4,000 barrels of liquefied petroleum gas. Approximately 70 percent of the natural gas was sold, primarily under long-term contracts, in the form of 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 completed during 2004 increased LNG capacity approximately 50 percent and encompassed the installation of a second 80-mile pipeline from the offshore natural gas fields to onshore facilities. The first LNG of Train 4 was produced in September 2004. A ninth LNG carrier, operated by Chevron Transport Corporation Ltd., was added to the NWS-controlled fleet. In December, the China Guangdong LNG sales purchase agreement became unconditional and the equity agreement with China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) was completed.
      ChevronTexaco operates the crude oil producing facilities on Barrow and Thevenard Islands, which had combined net crude oil production of 7,000 barrels per day in 2004. ChevronTexaco equity interest in this operation is 57 percent for Barrow Island and 51 percent for Thevenard Island.
      ChevronTexaco is the operator of the 57 percent-owned Gorgon-area fields and has between 50 to 100 percent interest in other Greater Gorgon fields off the northwest coast of Australia. The 12 discovered natural gas fields straddle 17 lease blocks in the Greater Gorgon Area. The Gorgon Project is moving forward on front-end-engineering-and-design feasibility work, targeting initial production for 2009-2010. Preliminary gas sales agreements have been signed with CNOOC and with a planned North American West Coast terminal. Proved reserves have not been recognized for any of the Gorgon fields and reserves booking is contingent on securing LNG sales and purchase agreements and other key project milestones.
      In 2004, the company drilled the successful wholly owned Wheatstone-1 natural gas well located offshore Western Australia. Production tests were completed in 2004 and the company is conducting a 3-D seismic program.
      Cambodia: ChevronTexaco operates and holds a 55 percent interest in Block A, located offshore Cambodia in the Gulf of Thailand, after a 15 percent farm-out during 2004.

(KAZAKHSTAN DIAGRAM)
  Kazakhstan: ChevronTexaco holds a 20 percent interest in the Karachaganak project. In June 2004, the company’s first Karachaganak crude oil was loaded at Russia’s Black Sea port at Novorossiysk. Phase 2 of the field development, which included construction of gas injection and liquids processing facilities and an increase in liquids export capacity via the company’s 15 percent-owned Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) was completed in the third quarter 2004. Access for Karachaganak production to CPC’s pipeline allows sales of approximately 150,000 barrels per day of processed liquids (28,000 net barrels) to prices available in world markets. During 2004, Karachaganak net daily production averaged 31,000 barrels of liquids and 125 million cubic feet of natural gas. Proved developed reserves associated with Phase 2 have been added over the 2002-to-2004 timeframe. The Karachaganak operations are conducted under a 40-year concession agreement that expires in 2038.
      Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ): Saudi Arabian Texaco Inc., a ChevronTexaco affiliate, holds a 60-year concession, originally signed in 1949, to produce onshore crude oil from the 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 interest in the PNZ’s hydrocarbon resources. The company, by virtue of its concession, has the rights to the Kingdom’s undivided 50 percent interest in the hydrocarbon resources located in the onshore PNZ and pays a royalty and other taxes on hydrocarbons produced.

In the Frade Field, where the company is the operator and has a 43 percent interest, the contract for front-end engineering design (FEED) for a floating, production, storage and offloading vessel and subsea systems was awarded in August 2004. Timing of initial production and booking of reserves is dependent upon FEED results which are expected in late 2005. No proved reserves have been recognized for this project.
      Canada: During 2004, the company divested producing assets in western Canada and sold its wholly owned mid-stream natural gas processing business. The effect of these sales on 2004 net oil-equivalent production was about 16,000 barrels per day. The company continues to maintain strategically significant assets in Canada, including a 27 percent nonoperated interest in the Hibernia Field; a 20 percent nonoperated interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project, which is discussed separately on page 26; a 28 percent operated interest in the Hebron project where feasibility studies preceding the major development project are continuing; and exploration opportunities in the Mackenzie Delta and Orphan Basin. Excluding Athabasca, net daily production in 2004 from the company’s Canadian operations was 62,000 barrels of crude oil and natural gas liquids and 51 million cubic feet of natural gas.
      Colombia: Until the end of 2004, ChevronTexaco operated three natural gas fields under two related contracts — the Guajira Association contract and the Build-Operate-Maintain-Transfer (BOMT) contract. The Guajira Association Contract, a 50-50 joint venture production-sharing agreement, expired in December 2004. In 2005, the company continues to operate the fields and receives 43 percent of the production for the remaining life of the fields, as well as continue to operate the BOMT contract until it expires in 2016.

113,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The company also has production at the 63 percent-owned LL-652 Field located in Lake Maracaibo. Net production in 2004 averaged 10,000 barrels of oil-equivalent per day. The company operates at LL-652 under a risked service agreement.
      The company also has exploration activity in two blocks offshore Plataforma Deltana. In Block 2, which includes Loran Field, two exploratory wells were drilled successfully in 2004. Proved reserves have not been recognized for this project. The company is operator and holds a 60 percent interest in Block 2. Also in August 2004, the company was awarded a license for Block 3, for which the company will be operator and holds a 100 percent interest. An exploration program for Block 3 is planned for 2005.
f)     Affiliate Operations
      Kazakhstan: The company holds a 50 percent interest in Tengizchevroil (TCO), which is developing the Tengiz and Korolev crude oil fields located in western Kazakhstan, under a 40-year concession that expires in 2033. Net oil-equivalent production averaged 178,000 barrels per day in 2004.
      TCO is currently undertaking a significant expansion composed of two integrated projects referred to as the Sour Gas Injection (SGI)/Second Generation Project (SGP). At a total cost in excess of $4 billion, the expansion is designed to increase TCO’s crude oil production capacity from 298,000 barrels per day to between 430,000 and 500,000 barrels per day by late 2006, depending on the final effects of the SGI.
      SGP involves the construction of a large processing train for treating crude oil and the associated sour gas. The SGP design is based on the same conventional technology employed in the existing processing trains. In addition to new processing capacity, SGP involves drilling and/or completing 55 production wells in the Tengiz and Korolev reservoirs to generate the volumes required for the new processing train. Proved undeveloped reserves associated with SGP were recognized in 2001. Some of these reserves were reclassified to proved developed in 2004 based upon completion of certain project milestones. Over the next decade, ongoing field development is expected to result in the maturation of the current proved undeveloped reserves to proved developed.
      SGI involves taking a portion of the rich, sour gas separated from the crude oil production at the SGP processing train and re-injecting it into the Tengiz and Korolev reservoirs. ChevronTexaco expects that SGI will have two key effects. First, SGI will reduce the sour gas processing capacity otherwise required at SGP, thereby increasing liquid production capacity and lowering the quantities of sulfur and gas that would otherwise be generated. Second, over time it is expected that SGI will increase production efficiency and recoverable volumes due to the maintenance of higher reservoir pressure from the gas re-injection. Between 2006 and 2008, the company anticipates recognizing additional proved reserves associated with the SGI expansion. The primary SGI risks include uncertainties about compressor performance associated with injecting high-pressure sour gas and subsurface responses to injection.
      Essentially all of TCO’s production is exported through the CPC pipeline that runs from Tengiz in Kazakhstan to tanker loading facilities at Novorossiysk on the Russian coast of the Black Sea. CPC, which is expected to be expanded in stages through the end of 2008, is anticipated to fully accommodate TCO expansion volumes by the end of 2007. TCO is currently pursuing alternate transportation routes to accommodate expansion volumes prior to the end of 2007 as necessary.
      Venezuela: ChevronTexaco has a 30 percent interest in the Hamaca heavy oil production and upgrading project located in Venezuela’s Orinoco Belt. The crude oil upgrading began in October 2004. The facility is expected to reach design capacity in the first quarter 2005 to process 190,000 barrels per day of heavy crude oil (8.5° API) and upgrade into 180,000 barrels of lighter, higher-value crude oil (26° API). In 2004, net production averaged 24,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
Petroleum — Sale of 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. 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-10 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.

     The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) operates a crude oil export pipeline from the Tengiz Field in Kazakhstan to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. At the end of 2004, CPC had 10 transportation agreements in place and was transporting 550,000 barrels of crude oil per day from the Caspian region. Russian crude oil entered CPC in late 2004, and is forecasted to rise to about 120,000 barrels per day during 2005, bringing the pipeline capacity to 670,000 barrels per day.
      The pipeline system is expandable to 1.4 million barrels per day with additional pump stations and tanks. CPC is in the initial planning stages of expanding the system. Expansion is expected to be completed in phases, with a total cost estimated at $2 billion. Full build-out to 1.4 million barrels per day is currently scheduled to be complete by the end of 2008 with additional planned capacity to begin operating in 2006 and 2007. ChevronTexaco has a 15 percent ownership interest in CPC.

     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 2004, the company’s U.S. flag fleet was engaged primarily in transporting refined products between the Gulf Coast and the East Coast, and from California refineries to terminals on the West Coast and in Alaska and Hawaii.
      The international 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.
      In addition to the vessels described above, the company owns a one-sixth interest in each of seven liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers transporting cargoes for the North West Shelf (NWS) project in Australia. In early 2004, the company assumed full operatorship of one of the tankers, the Northwest Swan, on behalf of the project’s participants. Additionally, the NWS project has two LNG tankers under long-term time charter.
      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 raised the demand for double-hull tankers. By the end of 2004, ChevronTexaco had a total of 18 company-operated double-hull tankers in operation. The company is a member of many oil-spill-response cooperatives in areas around the world in which it operates.
Chemicals
      Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (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.
      In 2004, along with its Saudi partner, CPChem secured approvals to proceed with construction of an integrated, world-scale styrene facility, along with the expansion of an existing, adjacently located aromatics plant in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. This $1.2 billion project is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2008.
      Also during 2004, CPChem continued the development of the Q-Chem II and Ras Laffan ethylene projects in Qatar. Final approvals by the project partners for this world-scale olefins and polyolefins development are expected in 2005.
      ChevronTexaco’s Oronite brand fuel and lubricant additives business is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of performance additives for fuels and lubricating oils. The company owns and operates facilities in the United States, France, the Netherlands, Singapore and Japan and has equity interests in facilities in India and Mexico. In January 2005, the company announced it is closing its manufacturing plant in Brazil. The closure is expected to be completed by the end of 2005.

Coal
      The company’s coal mining and marketing subsidiary, The Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining Co. (P&M), owned and operated two surface mines, McKinley, in New Mexico, and Kemmerer, in Wyoming, and one underground mine, North River, in Alabama, at year-end 2004. In addition, final reclamation activities were under way at the York Canyon and Farco mines, located in New Mexico and Texas, respectively. 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 as well as in trading and transportation activities.
      Sales of coal from P&M’s wholly owned mines and from its affiliates were 14.6 million tons, an increase of 9 percent from 2003. The increase was primarily a result of higher production at P&M’s surface mine located near Gallup, New Mexico.
      At year-end 2004, P&M controlled approximately 167 million tons of developed and undeveloped coal reserves, including reserves of environmentally desirable low-sulfur coal. The company is contractually committed to deliver approximately 14 million tons of coal per year through the end of 2006 and believes it can satisfy these contracts from existing coal reserves.
Synthetic Crude Oil
      In Canada, ChevronTexaco holds a 20 percent nonoperating interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project (AOSP). Bitumen is extracted from oil sands and upgraded into synthetic crude oil using hydroprocessing technology. The integrated operation at AOSP commenced in 2003 with ramp-up of production continuing in 2004. Total 2004 bitumen production averaged 134,000 barrels per day (about 27,000 net barrels). At full capacity in 2005, AOSP is expected to reach total production of 155,000 barrels per day.
Global Power Generation
      ChevronTexaco’s Global Power Generation (GPG) has more than 20 years experience in developing and operating commercial power projects. With 13 power assets located in the United States and Asia, GPG manages the production of more than 3,300 megawatts of electricity in its facilities. All of the facilities are owned through joint ventures. The company operates efficient gas-fired cogeneration facilities, some of which produce steam for use in upstream operations to facilitate production of heavy oil.
Gas-to-Liquids
      The 50-50 Sasol Chevron Global Joint Venture was established in October 2000 to develop a worldwide gas-to-liquids (GTL) business. In Nigeria, construction for the planned gas-to-liquids facility at Escravos is expected to begin in 2005, pending finalization of fiscal terms. Projects to build GTL plants are being considered for Qatar and Australia.
Research and Technology
      The company’s Energy Technology Company delivers integrated technologies and services to the upstream, downstream and gas-based businesses. These activities include deepwater exploration and production systems, reservoir management and optimization, heavy oil recovery and upgrading, shallow-water production operations, gas-to-liquids processing, improved refining processes, and safe, incident-free plant operations.
      Additionally, ChevronTexaco’s Technology Ventures Company focuses on identification, growth and commercialization of emerging technologies that have the potential to transform how energy is produced or consumed. The range of business spans early-stage investing of venture capital in emerging technologies to developing joint venture companies in new energy systems, such as hydrogen infrastructure, advanced battery systems, nano-materials and renewable energy applications.
      ChevronTexaco’s research and development expenses were $242 million, $228 million and $221 million for the years 2004, 2003 and 2002, 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 to 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 2004, the company’s U.S. capitalized environmental expenditures were $145 million, representing approximately 5 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 2005, the company estimates U.S. capital expenditures for environmental control facilities will be approximately $240 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 on the company’s 2004 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-15 to FS-16, and on page FS-18 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND OUTLOOK

As shown in the “Special Items” table, net special gains of $1.2 billion, associated mainly with the disposition of non-strategic upstream assets, benefited income in 2004. 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 page FS-11 for a discussion of the company’s investment in Dynegy.
     The special items recorded in 2002 through 2004 are not indicative of any future trends of events or their impact on future earnings. Because of the nature of special item-related events, the company may not always be able to anticipate their occurrence or associated effects on income in any period. Apart from the effects of special-item gains and charges, the company’s earnings depend largely on the profitability of its upstream – exploration and production – and downstream – refining, marketing and transportation – business segments. The single largest variable that affects the company’s results of operations is crude oil prices. Overall earnings trends are typically less affected by results from the company’s commodity chemicals segment and other activities and investments.
     The company’s long-term competitive position, particularly given the capital-intensive and commodity-based nature of the industry, is closely associated with the company’s ability to invest in projects that provide adequate financial returns and to manage operating expenses effectively. Creating and maintaining an inventory of projects depends on many factors, including obtaining rights to explore, develop and produce hydrocarbons in promising areas, drilling success, the ability to bring long-lead-time capital-intensive projects to completion on budget and schedule, and efficient and profitable operation of mature properties.
     The company also continuously evaluates opportunities to dispose of assets that are not key to providing sufficient long-term value and to acquire assets or operations complementary to its asset base to help sustain the company’s growth. In addition to the asset-disposition and restructuring plans announced in 2003, which generated $3.7 billion of sales proceeds in 2004, other such plans may also occur in future periods and result in significant gains or losses. Refer to the “Operating Developments” section on page FS-4 for a discussion that includes references to the company’s asset disposition activities.


FS-2


Table of Contents

     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 external factors over which the company has no control, including product demand connected with global economic conditions, industry inventory levels, production quotas imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), weather-related damages and disruptions, competing fuel prices, and regional supply interruptions that may be caused by military conflicts, civil unrest or political uncertainty. Moreover, any of these factors could also inhibit the company’s production capacity in an affected region. The company monitors developments closely in the countries in which it operates and holds investments and attempts to manage risks in operating its facilities and business. Longer-term trends in earnings for this segment are also a function of other factors besides price fluctuations, including changes in the company’s crude oil and natural gas production levels and the company’s ability to find or acquire and efficiently produce crude oil and natural gas reserves.
     The level of operating expenses associated with the efficient production of oil and gas can also be subject to external factors beyond the company’s control. External factors include not only the general level of inflation but also prices charged by the industry’s product- and service-providers, which can be affected by the volatility of the industry’s own supply and demand conditions for such products and services. Operating expenses can also be affected by uninsured damages to production facilities caused by severe weather or civil unrest.

(LINE GRAPH)

     Industry price levels for crude oil reached record highs during 2004. For example, the price for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil, one of the benchmark crudes, reached $55 per barrel in October 2004. WTI prices for the full year averaged $41 per barrel, an increase of approximately $10 per barrel from 2003. The WTI spot price per barrel at the end of February 2005 was approximately $51. These relatively high industry prices reflected, among other things, increased demand from higher economic growth, particularly in Asia and the United States, the heightened level of geopolitical uncertainty in many areas of the world, crude oil supply concerns in the Middle East and other key producing regions, and production shut in for repairs following Hurricane Ivan in the Gulf of Mexico in September 2004.

     During most of 2004, the differential in prices between high quality, light-sweet crude oils, such as the U.S. benchmark
WTI, and the heavier crudes was unusually wide. The upward trend in prices in 2004 for lighter crude oils tracked the increased demand for light products, as all refineries could process these higher quality crudes. However, the demand and price for the heavier crudes were dampened due to the limited number of refineries that are able to process this lower quality feedstock. The company produces heavy crude oil (including volumes under an operating service agreement) in California, Indonesia, the Partitioned Neutral Zone (between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait) and Venezuela.
     Natural gas prices, particularly in the United States, were also higher in 2004 than in 2003. Benchmark prices in 2004 for Henry Hub U.S. natural gas peaked in October 2004 above $8.50 per thousand cubic feet (MCF). For the full year, prices averaged nearly $6.00 per MCF, compared with $5.50 in 2003. At the end of February 2005, the Henry Hub spot price was about $6.10 per MCF.
     As compared with the supply and demand factors for natural gas in the United States and the resultant trend in the Henry Hub benchmark prices, certain other regions of the world in which the company operates have significantly different supply, demand and regulatory circumstances, typically resulting in significantly lower average sales prices for the company’s production of natural gas. (Refer to the table on page FS-10 for the company’s average natural gas prices for the United States 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 developed markets because of lack of infrastructure and the difficulties in transporting natural gas.
     To help address this regional imbalance between supply and demand for natural gas, ChevronTexaco and other companies in the industry are 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 and additional investment to regasify the product in markets where demand is strong and supplies are not as plentiful. Due to the

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 

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).
     Partially offsetting the benefit of higher crude oil and natural gas prices in 2004 was a 5 percent decline in the company’s worldwide oil-equivalent production from the prior year, including volumes produced from oil sands and production under an operating service agreement. The decrease was largely the result of lower production in the United States due to normal field declines, property sales and production curtailments resulting from damages to producing operations caused by Hurricane Ivan. International oil-equivalent production was down marginally between years. Refer also to pages FS-7 for additional discussion and detail of production volumes worldwide.
     The level of oil-equivalent production in future periods is uncertain, in part because of OPEC production quotas and the potential for local civil unrest and changing geopolitics that could cause production disruptions. Approximately 25 percent of the company’s net oil-equivalent production in 2004, including volumes produced from oil sands and under an operating service agreement, was in the OPEC-member countries of Indonesia, Nigeria and Venezuela and in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Although the company’s production level during 2004 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. Refer to pages FS-4 through FS-6 for discussion of the company’s major upstream projects.
     In certain onshore areas of Nigeria, approximately 45,000 barrels per day of the company’s net production capacity has been shut in since March 2003 because of civil unrest and damage to production facilities. The company has adopted a phased plan to restore these operations and has begun production-resumption efforts in certain areas.
     As a result of Hurricane Ivan in September 2004, production in the fourth quarter was about 60,000 barrels per day lower than it otherwise would have been. Damages to producing facilities are expected to restrict oil-equivalent production in the first quarter 2005 by approximately 35,000 barrels per day. Most of the remaining shut-in production is expected to be restored in the second quarter of 2005.

     Downstream Refining, marketing and transportation earnings are closely tied to regional demand for refined products and the associated effects on industry refining and marketing margins. The company’s core marketing areas are the West Coast of North America, the U.S. Gulf Coast, Latin America, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

     Specific factors influencing the company’s profitability in this segment include the operating efficiencies and expenses of the refinery network, including the effects of any downtime due to planned and unplanned maintenance, refinery upgrade
projects and operating incidents. The level of operating expenses can also be affected by the volatility of charter expenses for the company’s shipping operations, which are driven by the industry’s demand for crude-oil tankers. Factors beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation, especially energy costs to operate the refinery network.
     Downstream earnings improved in 2004 compared with the prior year, primarily as a result of increased demand and higher margins for the industry’s refined products in most of the areas in which the company and its equity affiliates have operations. In 2004, refined-product margins in North America and Asia were at their highest level in recent years. Industry margins may be volatile in the future, depending primarily on price movements for crude oil feedstocks, the demand for refined products, inventory levels, refinery maintenance and mishaps, and other factors.

     Chemicals Earnings in the petrochemicals segment are closely tied to global chemical demand, inventory levels and plant capacities. Additionally, feedstock and fuel costs, which tend to follow crude oil and natural gas price movements, influence earnings in this segment.

     Earnings improved in 2004 compared with 2003 primarily from the results of the company’s 50 percent-owned Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC (CPChem) affiliate, which recorded higher margins and sales volumes for commodity chemicals and higher equity affiliate income.

North America During 2004, the company closed on the sale of more than
300 producing properties and other assets in the United States and Canada, generating proceeds of $2.5 billion. These sales, which accounted for less than 10 percent of the oil-equivalent production and reserves in North America, were part of plans announced in 2003 to dispose of assets that did not provide sufficient long-term value to the company and to improve the overall competitive performance and operating efficiency of the company’s exploration and production portfolio.
     In the Gulf of Mexico, the company awarded two major engineering contracts for the development of subsea systems and a floating production facility to advance the development of the operated and 58 percent-owned Tahiti prospect, a major deepwater discovery. A successful well test of the original discovery well was also conducted in 2004. Elsewhere in the

     Kazakhstan The company’s first crude oil from Karachaganak Field was loaded at Russia’s Black Sea port of Novorossiysk in mid-2004. This represented the first shipment of Karachaganak crude oil through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium export pipeline that provides access to world markets.
     Construction continued during 2004 by the company’s 50 percent-owned Tengizchevroil affiliate on Sour Gas Injection (SGI)/Second Generation Project (SGP), which is expected to increase total production from the current capacity of 298,000 barrels of crude oil per day to between 430,000 and 500,000 barrels per day by the end of 2006, with the expansion dependent upon the success of the SGI.
     Libya In early 2005, the company was awarded onshore Block 177 in Libya’s first exploration license round under the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement IV terms. The company was also made operator of the block with 100 percent equity. The events mark the company’s return to Libya after a 28-year absence.
     Nigeria At the deepwater Agbami project, several milestones were achieved in 2004, including initial development drilling in the third quarter, and reaching a unitization agreement with other owners in the area. In early 2005, a contract for the construction of a floating production, storage and offshore loading platform was awarded. The project is being unitized, and the company’s equity will be about 68 percent.
     The company was awarded a 100 percent contractor interest in the deepwater Nigeria Block OPL-247 in the eastern part of the Niger Delta in the second quarter 2004. Block 247 is adjacent to Block 222, which includes the company’s Usan and Ukot discoveries.
     In the third quarter 2004, the company announced a crude oil discovery at the Usan 5 well. Additionally, in early 2005, hydrocarbons were encountered at the Usan 6 appraisal well. ChevronTexaco holds a 30 percent interest in the wells, both of which are located in OPL-222.
     Nigeria — São Tomé and Príncipe Joint Development Zone (JDZ) The company was awarded the right in early 2004 to conduct exploration activities in deepwater Block 1 in the JDZ, offshore São Tomé and Príncipe and Nigeria.

Development Authority, under which ChevronTexaco will be the operator with a 51 percent interest in the block.
     Southern Africa The company announced a discovery in the deepwater area between Angola and the Republic of Congo at the Lianzi-1 exploration well in the third quarter 2004. The discovery, in the shared 14K/A-IMI Unit, is located in the same area as the previous Block 14 deepwater crude oil discoveries at Landana and Tombua in Angola. ChevronTexaco is the operator of the 14K/A-IMI Unit and holds about a 31 percent interest.
     Russia In September 2004, the company and OAO Gazprom signed a six-month memorandum of understanding to jointly undertake feasibility studies for the possible implementation of projects in Russia and the United States. This represents a possible opportunity to participate in the development of the vast natural gas and crude oil resource base in Russia and to develop a close partnership with Russia’s largest natural gas producer.
     Thailand The company announced successful exploration and appraisal drilling results in mid-2004 at Block G4/43, located in the Gulf of Thailand. Block G4/43 is adjacent to the company’s operated and 52 percent-owned Block B8/32.
