Chevron Highlights Record-Setting Year at Annual Stockholders’ Meeting

Safety, Operations and Financial Returns Set New Company Milestones.

SAN RAMON, Calif.,- Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) had a record-setting year in 2006, and the company is delivering on its commitments to supply safe, clean and reliable energy to fuel economic growth, Chevron Chairman and CEO Dave O’Reilly said at the company’s 2007 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting.

“We had a year of strong performance,” O’Reilly stated. “We have the people and the right strategies to create a platform for long-term growth and sustained superior performance.”

In his remarks to stockholders, O’Reilly highlighted technology among several key elements contributing to Chevron’s success. He credited the role technology plays in bringing energy resources to market, enabling Chevron to make advancements in exploration, deepwater development, natural gas and heavy oil to develop ever-cleaner transportation fuels and to improve energy efficiency.

Technology also is creating new business opportunities for Chevron. “We’re developing new technologies to advance renewable and alternative forms of energy such as biofuels,” O’Reilly added.

Peter Robertson, vice chairman of the board, spoke about Chevron’s strong operational performance in 2006 and the company’s financial returns. For the year, Chevron reported record net income of $17.1 billion and a return on capital employed of approximately 23 percent. He added that the company increased its quarterly dividend by 15.6 percent in 2006, the 19th consecutive increase in the annual dividend. Chevron also completed a $5 billion stock buyback, bringing buybacks to a total of $10 billion within the last three years.

“2006 was an excellent year for Chevron in many ways,” Robertson said. “We set another new record for safety performance. We are closing in on our goal to be the industry leader in safety performance.”

Robertson also provided an overview of Chevron’s plans in 2007 to invest $19.6 billion in capital and exploratory expenditures, an 18 percent increase over 2006. About 75 is percent budgeted for worldwide crude oil and natural gas exploration and production projects, with another 20 percent planned for Chevron’s global refining, marketing and transportation business.

George Kirkland, executive vice president, Upstream and Gas, discussed the strength of the company’s positions worldwide and the competitive advantage Chevron gains from its diversified and balanced upstream portfolio. He also stressed that production and reserves growth are progressing according to plan. He said the company is on track to grow production by an average of more than three percent a year between 2005 and 2010.

“Over the past five years, our exploration program achieved an industry-leading success rate of 45 percent,” Kirkland said. “In 2006, 42 successful exploration and appraisal wells added over 1 billion barrels of oil-equivalent resources, continuing the average of 1 billion barrels per year over the five-year period. We have also had great success in our base business initiatives to minimize production declines from existing fields and continue to effectively advance our world-class queue of major capital projects to ensure long-term production growth.”

Mike Wirth, executive vice president, Downstream, presented stockholders with examples of how the company is positioned to meet increased global product demand. He said Chevron is capitalizing on increased product demand by offering established brands, maintaining a strong presence in key markets and expanding refining capacity in the United States and Asia.

Wirth also stated that “2006 was a year of bests” for Chevron’s downstream organization, achieving milestones in safety, refinery utilization, energy efficiency and earnings. “Downstream produced great results in 2006. With our focus on operational excellence and pursuit of selected growth opportunities, we are confident we will sustain this progress in 2007 and create long-term value for our stockholders,” Wirth added.
