our strategy

chevron’s strategy is to leverage our strengths to safely deliver lower carbon 
energy to a growing world

Our objective is to safely deliver higher returns, lower carbon and superior shareholder value in any business 
environment. We are building on our capabilities, assets and customer relationships as we aim to lead in lower 
carbon intensity oil, products and natural gas, as well as advance new products and solutions that reduce the 
carbon emissions of major industries. We aim to grow our traditional oil and gas business, lower the carbon 
intensity of our operations and grow new lower carbon businesses in renewable fuels, hydrogen, carbon capture, 
offsets and other emerging technologies.

asset class: deepwater

We are a leader in applying new technologies to tap into the oil that lies deep beneath the ocean floor, and 
doing so in a lower carbon way. Our deepwater assets include fields offshore of Angola, Australia, Equatorial 
Guinea, Indonesia, Israel, Nigeria and Republic of Congo and in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, with deepwater 
exploration activities ongoing offshore 12 countries. Our U.S. Gulf of Mexico facilities are some of the lowest 
carbon intensity‑producing assets in the world.

energy in progress

The events of the past year have defined 
the energy challenge facing the world: 
meeting the energy demands of today 
while building the lower carbon energy 
system of tomorrow. This will require 
advancing technologies, accelerating 
solutions, harnessing the power of 
markets and unleashing human ingenuity. 
Progress depends on scalable solutions 
that deliver affordable, reliable and 
ever‑cleaner energy.  

That’s Energy in Progress

variety of lower‑carbon feedstocks to produce high‑
quality renewable diesel. Renewable fuels are important 
products that can help reduce the lifecycle carbon 
intensity of transportation fuels.

to our stockholders

2022 marked the 35th consecutive year of higher 
per‑share annual dividends, with the company paying 
out $11 billion to stockholders. And we raised the 
per‑share dividend another 6% in early 2023. We also 
returned an additional $11.25 billion to stockholders 
by repurchasing nearly 70 million shares.

Through disciplined investment in high‑quality 
assets, Chevron achieved a return on capital 
employed of more than 20%, the highest since 2011. 
We strengthened our industry‑leading balance 
sheet, reducing our debt ratio to 12.8% and net debt 
ratio to 3.3%. Our efficient deployment of capital is 
expected to drive the growth of both traditional and 
new energy businesses while continuing to deliver 
strong returns to investors.

Our financial priorities have remained consistent 
for decades. We reward stockholders with 
predictable dividend growth, invest for long‑term 
returns, maintain a strong balance sheet to mitigate 
commodity price risk and buy back shares through 
the cycle.

The events of 2022 demonstrated the vital role 
that affordable and reliable energy plays in the 
world economy.

The past year’s volatility illustrates the need for an 
energy system that balances economic prosperity, 
energy security and environmental protection. 
Affordable energy is vital for economies to flourish. 
Reliable energy is essential for national security. 
And we all share a stake in a lower carbon future.

executing our strategy; 
delivering results

Chevron’s strategy has remained clear: Leverage our 
strengths to safely deliver lower carbon energy to a 
growing world.

In 2022, we increased investment by more than 
75% versus 2021, helping us deliver the highest U.S. 
production in our history, at 1.2 million barrels of 
oil‑equivalent per day.

Execution of our strategy also enabled delivery on 
our financial priorities:

• Grow the dividend consistently

• Invest capital efficiently

• Maintain a strong balance sheet, and

• Repurchase shares steadily

the energy landscape 

Post‑pandemic demand recovery, coupled with 
supply uncertainty, created energy market volatility 
during the past year. Geopolitical events threatened 
to disrupt energy supply, OPEC spare capacity 
declined and inventories were at low levels relative 
to demand. At the same time, in much of the world, 
strong consumer spending and increased travel 
drove an oil demand increase estimated at 2.3 
million barrels per day. In 2023 demand is projected 
to grow to greater than 101 million barrels per day, 
an all‑time high. 

Natural gas demand declined slightly last year, as 
higher prices related to supply disruptions resulting 
from the Russia‑Ukraine conflict prompted fuel 
substitution and demand destruction, especially in 
Europe. Global trade flows of liquefied natural gas 
(LNG) pivoted to Europe, keeping LNG capacity 
tight. Global natural gas demand is projected to 
grow in 2023.

As growth in the global economy drives greater 
overall energy demand, investment in lower carbon 
energy technologies will also continue to grow. 

“we aim to lead in lower carbon intensity 
oil, products and natural gas”

advancing energy progress

Our capabilities, assets and customer relationships 
are distinct advantages. We’re building on these 
strengths as we aim to lead in lower carbon intensity 
oil, products and natural gas and at the same time 
advance new products and solutions that reduce the 
carbon intensity of major industries.

In 2022, our upstream operations produced 3 million 
oil‑equivalent barrels per day, and we increased 
upstream capital expenditures by over 40% relative 
to the prior year. We added 1.1 billion barrels of net 
oil‑equivalent proved reserves, which equates to 
approximately 97% of net oil‑equivalent production 
for the year.

As a result of the acquisition of Renewable Energy 
Group, Chevron is now the second largest U.S. bio‑
based diesel producer. We are steadily advancing 
toward our guidance of renewable fuels production 
capacity of 100,000 barrels per day by 2030. 
We’re using existing distribution channels to place 
these products in markets where we believe we 
can capture the highest margin. And we have a 
renewable diesel expansion project underway at 
the Geismar biorefinery, which is expected to come 
online next year and is projected to increase our 
overall capacity by 30%. 

Our Chevron Phillips Chemical Company affiliate, 
along with Qatar Energy, announced final 
investment decision on construction of a $6 
billion integrated polymers complex in Ras Laffan 
Industrial City, Qatar, and an $8.5 billion integrated 
polymers complex in Orange, Texas.

Chevron New Energies remains focused on helping 
customers meet their lower carbon ambitions and 
reducing the carbon intensity of our operations.

We’re taking actions to advance the development 
of larger‑scale carbon capture, utilization and 
storage projects.

In the Permian Basin, unconventional production 
averaged 707,000 barrels of oil‑equivalent 
per day, a 16% increase from 2021 and all‑time 
high. We expect Permian production to grow 
nearly 10% in 2023. Additional U.S. production 
increases are expected as deepwater projects 
in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico come online, including 
Mad Dog 2 in 2023, Anchor and Whale in 2024 
and Ballymore in 2025. By 2026, Chevron’s 
Gulf of Mexico production is expected to 
increase ~50% – to around 300,000 barrels of 
oil‑equivalent per day.

We continue to reduce upstream greenhouse 
gas intensity, which is down 30% from 2016 as 
teams around the world advance projects focused 
on energy efficiency, flaring reduction and 
methane management. Our U.S. Gulf of Mexico 
facilities are some of the lowest carbon intensity 
producing assets in the world, and our Permian 
Basin operations are among the lowest methane 
emissions per site of any operator. We plan to 
continue making progress through technology 
development and partnerships.

Our refining system continues to evolve. We 
received permits for a project at our Pasadena 
Refinery that is expected to increase light crude 
oil throughput capacity to 125,000 barrels per day 
in 2024, allowing the refinery to run more equity 
crude from the Permian Basin. And we’re doing 
capital‑efficient unit conversions to process 
renewable feedstocks at our El Segundo and 
Pascagoula refineries.

“chevron is exploring opportunities to commercialize and 
scale the next generation of emerging technologies”

looking to the future

We believe Chevron is well positioned to lead 
in both traditional and new energy while safely 
delivering higher returns, lower carbon and superior 
shareholder value.

We’re at the center of one of the world’s greatest 
challenges – meeting the energy needs of a growing 
world and doing so in lower carbon ways. We are 
confident that by harnessing our human energy, we 
will continue to advance energy progress.

Thank you for your support and the continued trust 
you place in us.

Sincerely,

Michael K. Wirth
Chairman of the Board 
and Chief Executive Officer

And we’re making strategic investments to lower 
costs, using our own assets to pilot new technologies. 
Investments and partnerships with companies like 
Svante and Carbon Clean are helping advance the 
innovation required to reduce the cost of CO2 capture 
at different types of industrial facilities. We have 
acquired pore space on the U.S. Gulf Coast that we 
believe can store over 1 billion tons of CO2, and are 
evaluating other potential storage hubs, including 
three assessment permits offshore Australia.

We are leveraging our experience with carbon 
offsets through our partnership with Restore the  
Earth Foundation. We have collaborated to plant 
approximately 3.7 million trees in Louisiana, 
reforestation work that is expected to deliver 
nature‑based carbon reductions.

Chevron has been investing in hydrogen research 
and development for decades, and we continue to 
lay the foundation for a high‑growth, competitive 
business. We are working on multiple projects 
across California and the U.S. Gulf Coast to support 
future demand. In the Asia‑Pacific region, we’re 
continuing to work with JERA, a long‑time partner 
and customer, to explore codeveloping lower 
carbon intensity fuels in Australia.

In addition, Chevron is exploring opportunities 
to commercialize and scale the next generation 
of emerging technologies, including geothermal 
energy, to grow lower carbon solutions.

director: one-on-one

lead independent director wanda m. austin  
offers insights on her first year in her new role

Dr. Wanda M. Austin was appointed Lead 
Director in 2022 after six years on the 
Board. In 2018–2019, Dr. Austin served 
as interim president for the University of 
Southern California. She was president and 
CEO of The Aerospace Corporation from 
2008 to 2016. She is the first woman and 
the first African American to hold all of 
these positions.

Dr. Austin is recognized for her work in 
aeronautics and systems engineering and 
is a member of the National Academy 
of Engineering and an honorary fellow 
of the American Institute of Aeronautics 
and Astronautics. Dr. Austin embodies 
the leadership skills, business acumen, 
broad experience and technical expertise 
required to guide our company as Lead 
Independent Director.

how does the board  
approach governance?
The Board of Directors takes seriously our oversight 
obligations to ensure that we have the right leadership 
in place and the right strategy moving forward. We also 
ensure the company is operating at a prudent level of 
business risk. We represent Chevron stockholders as 
independent, accomplished and diverse Directors with 
experience in global business, public policy, finance, 
technology and environmental matters.

Our approach to governance and oversight is informed 
by feedback from our stakeholders. We continue to 
engage stakeholders year‑round to discuss concerns 
like climate change and describe our approach to the 
energy transition. In 2022, those engagements included 
meeting with stakeholders and employees at our 
operations in the Eastern Mediterranean. The viewpoints 
we hear on energy markets, geopolitics and technology 
trends enable us to effectively deploy our capital and 
human talent to achieve our higher return and lower 
carbon objectives.

what accomplishments  
stand out in your first year?
There are many. Representing stockholders, the Board 
is proud of achieving 36 years of consecutive dividend 
increases along with recently authorizing $75 billion of 
stock buybacks. Providing oversight for the acquisition 
of Renewable Energy Group (REG) is also a highlight. 
Looking at leadership, the simplified organizational 
structure and senior leadership changes announced in 
May should strengthen execution and the pace to deliver 
on the company’s objectives.

Endorsing and overseeing Chevron’s climate strategy 
is paramount, though. That begins with the right 
composition on the Board itself, the right experience and 
talent. I’m confident we’re charting the right course with 
$8 billion in lower carbon investments and $2 billion in 
carbon reduction projects over five years. Lowering the 
carbon intensity of Chevron’s operations is central to 
meeting the energy needs of today as we help build the 
energy system of tomorrow.

what progress is being  
made on transparency?
Chevron has long been committed to increasing 
transparency on climate‑related matters. Additional 
transparency on methane emissions reporting is a natural 
extension of that commitment. In 2022, Chevron received 
a stockholder proposal to report on the reliability of 
methane emissions disclosures. While we do not agree 
with certain statements made by the proponents, there 
was no need to oppose last year’s stockholders proposal 
where we had fundamental alignment with the intent and 
approach on these issues.

Addressing methane emissions is a key part of being a 
responsible producer of oil, products and natural gas. 
Methane detection and measurement are evolving, which 
presents challenges and opportunities, including the 
need for reliable measurement protocols. As I said in the 
methane report, published in November, Chevron’s role is 
to help develop and implement best practices and share 
what’s working to prevent methane emissions associated 
with the production of oil, products and natural gas. This 
report highlights our efforts to advance the deployment 
of methane detection technology and actions to improve 
our performance.

Through our voluntary reports, including the upcoming 
annual Corporate Sustainability Report, we continue to strive 
to improve consistency and transparency in our reporting. 

what does the right  
leadership look like?
We are fortunate to have a Board with great depth 
and breadth of expertise and experience. Former 
REG president and CEO Cynthia “CJ” Warner is our 
latest addition. She serves on the Public Policy and 
Sustainability Committee that oversees an evolving 
landscape of social, political, environmental, human rights 
and public policy issues for us. With 40 years of business 
leadership across both the traditional and renewable 
energy sectors, CJ is invaluable in helping us execute 
Chevron’s strategy to safely deliver lower carbon energy 
to a growing world.

Chevron’s bylaws call for a strong Lead Director to ensure 
the independent Directors exercise rigorous oversight. I’m 
dedicated to that mandate as I succeed Dr. Ronald D. Sugar. 
I thank him for a sure‑handed transition and his 18 years of 
strong leadership.

compared with an equal investment in the S&P 500 Index or the Competitor Peer Group. The comparison covers a 
five‑year period beginning December 31, 2017, and ending December 31, 2022, and for the peer group is weighted 
by market capitalization as of the beginning of each year. It includes the reinvestment of all dividends that an 
investor would be entitled to receive and is adjusted for stock splits. The interim measurement points show the 
value of $100 invested on December 31, 2017, as of the end of each year between 2018 and 2022.

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 of Chevron Corporation contains forward-looking statements relating to Chevron’s operations and energy transition plans that are based on 
management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the petroleum, chemicals and other energy-related industries. Words or phrases such as 
“anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “advances,” “commits,” “drives,” “aims,” “forecasts,” “projects,” “believes,” “approaches,” “seeks,” “schedules,” 
“estimates,”  “positions,”  “pursues,”  “may,”  “can,”  “could,”  “should,”  “will,”  “budgets,”  “outlook,”  “trends,”  “guidance,”  “focus,”  “on  track,”  “goals,”  “objectives,” 
“strategies,” “opportunities,” “poised,” “potential,” “ambitions,” “aspires” 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, many of which are beyond the company’s 
control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking 
statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Unless legally required, 
Chevron undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changing crude oil and natural 
gas prices and demand for the company’s products, and production curtailments due to market conditions; crude oil production quotas or other actions that might 
be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other producing countries; technological advancements; changes to government policies 
in the countries in which the company operates; public health crises, such as pandemics (including coronavirus (COVID-19)) and epidemics, and any related 
government policies and actions; disruptions in the company’s global supply chain, including supply chain constraints and escalation of the cost of goods and 
services; changing economic, regulatory and political environments in the various countries in which the company operates; general domestic and international 
economic and political conditions, including the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the global response to such conflict; changing refining, marketing 
and chemicals margins; actions of competitors or regulators; timing of exploration expenses; timing of crude oil liftings; the competitiveness of alternate-energy 
sources or product substitutes; development of large carbon capture and offset markets; the results of operations and financial condition of the company’s suppliers, 
vendors, partners and equity affiliates, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic; the inability or failure of the company’s joint-venture partners to fund their share 
of operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude oil and natural gas development 
projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of the company’s operations due 
to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, severe weather, cyber threats, terrorist acts, or other natural or human causes beyond the company’s control; the 
potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant operational, investment or product 
changes undertaken or required by existing or future environmental statutes and regulations, including international agreements and national or regional legislation 
and  regulatory  measures  to  limit  or  reduce  greenhouse  gas  emissions;  the  potential  liability  resulting  from  pending  or  future  litigation;  the  company’s  future 
acquisitions or dispositions of assets or shares or the delay or failure of such transactions to close based on required closing conditions; the potential for gains and 
losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, taxes and tax audits, tariffs, sanctions, changes in fiscal 
terms or restrictions on scope of company operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; higher inflation and related impacts; material 
reductions in corporate liquidity and access to debt markets; the receipt of required Board authorizations to implement capital allocation strategies, including future 
stock repurchase programs and dividend payments; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-
setting bodies; the company’s ability to identify and mitigate the risks and hazards inherent in operating in the global energy industry; and the factors set forth under 
the heading “Risk Factors” on pages 20 through 26 in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Other unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this report could 
also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

Refer to the Results of Operations section for a discussion of financial results by major operating area for the three years 
ended December 31, 2022. Throughout the document, certain totals and percentages may not sum to their component parts 
due to rounding.

Business Environment and Outlook 

Chevron Corporation is a global energy company with substantial business activities in the following countries: Angola, 
Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Israel, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Nigeria, 
the  Partitioned  Zone  between  Saudi  Arabia  and  Kuwait,  the  Philippines,  Republic  of  Congo,  Singapore,  South  Korea, 
Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Venezuela. 

The company’s objective is to safely deliver higher returns, lower carbon and superior shareholder value in any business 
environment.  Earnings  of  the  company  depend  mostly  on  the  profitability  of  its  upstream  business  segment.  The  most 
significant factor affecting the results of operations for the upstream segment is the price of crude oil, which is determined 
in global markets outside of the company’s control. In the company’s downstream business, crude oil is the largest cost 
component of refined products. Periods of sustained lower commodity prices could result in the impairment or write-off of 
specific assets in future periods and cause the company to adjust operating expenses, including employee reductions, and 
capital expenditures, along with other measures intended to improve financial performance.

Governments,  companies,  communities,  and  other  stakeholders  are  increasingly  supporting  efforts  to  address  climate 
change. International initiatives and national, regional and state legislation and regulations that aim to directly or indirectly 
reduce GHG emissions are in various stages of design, adoption, and implementation. These policies and programs, some 
of  which  support  the  global  net  zero  emissions  ambitions  of  the  Paris  Agreement,  can  change  the  amount  of  energy 
consumed,  the  rate  of  energy-demand  growth,  the  energy  mix,  and  the  relative  economics  of  one  fuel  versus  another. 
Implementation  of  jurisdiction-specific  policies  and  programs  can  be  dependent  on,  and  can  affect  the  pace  of, 
technological advancements, the granting of necessary permits by governing authorities, the availability of cost-effective, 
verifiable carbon credits, the availability of suppliers that can meet sustainability and other standards, evolving regulatory 
or other requirements affecting ESG standards or other disclosures, and evolving standards for tracking and reporting on 
emissions and emission reductions and removals. 

Some  of  these  policies  and  programs  include  renewable  and  low  carbon  fuel  standards,  such  as  the  Renewable  Fuel 
Standard program in the U.S. and California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard; programs that price GHG emissions, including

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

California’s  Cap-and-Trade  Program;  performance  standards,  including  methane-specific  regulation  such  as  the  U.S. 
EPA’s forthcoming New Source Performance Standard and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources; and measures that 
provide various incentives for lower carbon activities, including carbon capture and storage and the production of hydrogen 
and sustainable aviation fuel, such as the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act. Requirements for these and other similar policies 
and  programs  are  complex,  ever  changing,  program  specific  and  encompass:  (1)  the  blending  of  renewable  fuels  into 
transportation  fuels;  (2)  the  purchasing,  selling,  utilizing  and  retiring  of  allowances  and  carbon  credits;  and  (3)  other 
emissions reduction measures including efficiency improvements and capturing GHG emissions. While these compliance 
policies and programs may have negative impacts on the company now and in the future including, but not limited to, the 
displacement  of  hydrocarbon  and  other  products,  these  policies  have  also  enabled  opportunities  for  Chevron  as  it  grows 
and  aims  to  further  grow  its  lower  carbon  businesses.  For  example,  the  acquisition  of  Renewable  Energy  Group,  Inc. 
(REG)  in  2022  grew  the  company’s  renewable  fuels  production  capacity  and  increased  the  company’s  carbon  credit 
generation activities. Although we expect the company’s costs to comply with these policies and programs to continue to 
increase, these costs currently do not have a material impact on the company’s financial condition or results of operations. 

Significant  uncertainty  remains  as  to  the  pace  in  which  the  transition  to  a  lower  carbon  future  will  progress,  which  is 
dependent, in part, on further advancements and changes in policy, technology, and customer and consumer preferences. 
The  level  of  expenditure  required  to  comply  with  new  or  potential  climate  change-related  laws  and  regulations  and  the 
amount of additional investments needed in new or existing technology or facilities, such as carbon capture and storage, is 
difficult to predict with certainty and is expected to vary depending on the actual laws and regulations enacted, available 
technology  options,  customer  and  consumer  preferences,  the  company’s  activities,  and  market  conditions.  As  discussed 
below, in 2021, the company announced planned capital spend of approximately $10 billion through 2028 in lower carbon 
investments. Although the future is uncertain, many published outlooks conclude that fossil fuels will remain a significant 
part of an energy system that increasingly incorporates lower carbon sources of supply for many years to come. 

Chevron supports the Paris Agreement’s global approach to governments addressing climate change and continues to take 
actions  to  help  lower  the  carbon  intensity  of  its  operations  while  continuing  to  meet  the  demand  for  energy.  Chevron 
believes  that  broad,  market-based  mechanisms  are  the  most  efficient  approach  to  addressing  GHG  emission  reductions. 
Chevron integrates climate change-related issues and the regulatory and other responses to these issues into its strategy and 
planning, capital investment reviews, and risk management tools and processes, where it believes they are applicable. They 
are  also  factored  into  the  company’s  long-range  supply,  demand,  and  energy  price  forecasts.  These  forecasts  reflect 
estimates  of  long-range  effects  from  climate  change-related  policy  actions,  such  as  electric  vehicle  and  renewable  fuel 
penetration, energy efficiency standards, and demand response to oil and natural gas prices. 

The company will continue to develop oil and gas resources to meet customers’ and consumers’ demand for energy. At the 
same time, Chevron believes that the future of energy is lower carbon. The company will continue to maintain flexibility in 
its portfolio to be responsive to changes in policy, technology, and customer and consumer preferences. Chevron aims to 
grow its traditional oil and gas business, lower the carbon intensity of its operations and grow lower carbon businesses in 
renewable fuels, hydrogen, carbon capture, offsets, and other emerging technologies. To grow its lower carbon businesses, 
Chevron  plans  to  target  sectors  of  the  economy  where  emissions  are  harder  to  abate  or  that  cannot  be  easily  electrified, 
while  leveraging  the  company’s  capabilities,  assets  and  customer  relationships.  The  company’s  traditional  oil  and  gas 
business may increase or decrease depending upon regulatory or market forces, among other factors.

In 2021, Chevron announced the following aspiration and targets that are aligned with its lower carbon strategy:

2050  Net  Zero  Upstream  Aspiration  Chevron  aspires  to  achieve  net  zero  for  upstream  production  Scope  1  and  2  GHG 
emissions  on  an  equity  basis  by  2050.  The  company  believes  accomplishing  this  aspiration  depends  on,  among  other 
things,  partnerships  with  multiple  stakeholders  including  customers,  continuing  progress  on  commercially  viable 
technology,  government  policy,  successful  negotiations  for  carbon  capture  and  storage  and  nature-based  projects, 
availability and acceptability of cost-effective, verifiable offsets in the global market, and granting of necessary permits by 
governing authorities.

2028 Upstream Production GHG Intensity Targets These metrics include Scope 1, direct emissions, and Scope 2, indirect 
emissions from imported electricity and steam, and are net of emissions from exported electricity and steam. The targeted 
2028 reductions from 2016 on an equity ownership basis include a:

•

•

40 percent reduction in oil production GHG intensity to 24 kilograms (kg) carbon dioxide equivalent per barrel of
oil-equivalent (CO2e/boe),

26 percent reduction in gas production GHG intensity to 24 kg CO2e/boe,

33

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

•

•

53 percent reduction in methane intensity to 2 kg CO2e/boe, and

66 percent reduction in flaring GHG intensity to 3 kg CO2e/boe.

The company also targets  no  routine  flaring  by  2030.  We  have  set  2016  as  our  baseline  to  align with the year the  Paris 
Agreement  entered  into  force,  and  the  company  plans  to  update  the  metrics  every  five  years  in  line  with  the  Paris 
Agreement stocktakes. We believe these updates will provide additional transparency on the company’s progress toward its 
net zero aspiration. 

2028 Portfolio Carbon Intensity Target The company also introduced a portfolio carbon intensity (PCI) metric, which is a 
measure  of  the  carbon  intensity  across  the  full  value  chain  of  Chevron’s  entire  business.  This  metric  encompasses  the 
company’s upstream and downstream business and includes Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from 
imported  electricity  and  steam),  and  certain  Scope  3  (primarily  emissions  from  use  of  sold  products)  emissions.  The 
company’s PCI target is 71 grams (g) carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per megajoule (MJ) by 2028, a greater than five 
percent reduction from 2016. 

Planned  Lower-Carbon  Capital  Spend  through  2028  In  2021,  the  company  established  planned  capital  spend  of 
approximately $10 billion through 2028 to advance its lower carbon strategy, which includes approximately $2 billion to 
lower  the  carbon  intensity  of  its  traditional  oil  and  gas  operations,  and  approximately  $8  billion  for  lower  carbon 
investments in renewable fuels, hydrogen and carbon capture and offsets. We anticipate setting additional capital spending 
targets as the company progresses toward its 2050 upstream production Scope 1 and 2 net zero aspiration and further grows 
its lower carbon business lines. 

During 2021 and 2022, the company spent $4.8 billion in lower carbon investments, including $2.9 billion associated with 
the acquisition of REG.

Refer  to  “Risk  Factors”  in Part I,  Item  1A,  on pages  20  through  26  of  the  company's  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for 
further  discussion  of  GHG  regulation  and  climate  change  and  the  associated  risks  to  Chevron’s  business,  including  the 
risks impacting Chevron’s lower carbon strategy and its aspirations, targets and plans.

Income  Taxes  The  effective  tax  rate  for  the  company  can  change  substantially  during  periods  of  significant  earnings 
volatility. This is due to the mix effects that are impacted by both the absolute level of earnings or losses and whether they 
arise in higher or lower tax rate jurisdictions. As a result, a decline or increase in the effective income tax rate in one period 
may  not  be  indicative  of  expected  results  in  future  periods.  Additional  information  related  to  the  company’s 
effective income tax rate is included in Note 17 Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), enacted in the United States on August 16, 2022, imposes several new taxes that will 
be effective in 2023, including a 15 percent minimum tax on book income and a 1 percent excise tax on stock repurchases. 
The  IRA  also  implements  various  incentives  for  lower  carbon  activities,  including  carbon  capture  and  storage  and  the 
production of hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuel, and extends the federal biodiesel mixture excise tax credit through 
December 31, 2024. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material impact on our results of operations.

Supply  Chain  and  Inflation  Impacts  The  company  is  actively  managing  its  contracting,  procurement,  and  supply  chain 
activities  to  effectively  manage  costs  and  facilitate  supply  chain  resiliency  and  continuity  in  support  of  the  company’s 
operational  goals.  Third  party  costs  for  capital,  exploration,  and  operating  expenses  can  be  subject  to  external  factors 
beyond the company’s control including, but not limited to: severe weather or civil unrest, delays in construction, global 
and local supply chain distribution issues, inflation, tariffs or other taxes imposed on goods or services, and market-based 
prices  charged  by  the  industry’s  material  and  service  providers.  Chevron  utilizes  contracts  with  various  pricing 
mechanisms, which may result in a lag before the company’s costs reflect changes in market trends.

Inflation continued to be a key factor impacting the economy over the last year. For key oil and gas industry inputs (e.g. 
rigs, well services, etc.), markets are likely to remain tight with any upward pressure tied directly to possible increases in 
activity. In contrast, inflationary pressures have started to reduce for non-oil and gas specific goods and services as a result 
of  reduced  supply  chain  disruptions  and  a  slowdown  in  economic  activity.  Chevron’s  2023  capital  expenditure  budget 
assumes cost inflation that averages in the mid-single digits with certain areas higher, such as in the Permian Basin that 
assumes low double-digit cost inflation. Chevron believes it is well positioned to manage its costs for 2023, in large part 
due to indexed contracts and secured supplies for critical inputs.

Refer to the “Cautionary Statements Relevant to Forward-Looking Information” on page 2 and to “Risk Factors” in Part I, 
Item 1A, on pages 20 through 26 of the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of some of the inherent 
risks that could materially impact the company’s results of operations or financial condition. 

Other  Impacts    The  company  continually  evaluates  opportunities  to  dispose  of  assets  that  are  not  expected  to  provide 
sufficient  long-term  value  and  to  acquire  assets  or  operations  complementary  to  its  asset  base  to  help  augment  the 
company’s financial performance and value growth. Asset dispositions and restructurings may result in significant gains or 
losses in future periods. 

The company closely monitors developments in the financial and credit markets, the level of worldwide economic activity, 
and  the  implications  for  the  company  of  movements  in  prices  for  crude  oil  and  natural  gas.  Management  takes  these 
developments into account in the conduct of daily operations and for business planning.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant decrease in demand for our products and created disruptions and volatility in 
the global marketplace beginning late in first quarter 2020. Demand has largely recovered as of year-end 2022; however, 
there continues to be uncertainty around the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our future results, which 
could be material.

Earnings trends for the company’s major business areas are described as follows:

Upstream Earnings for the upstream segment are closely aligned with industry prices 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  production  and  inventory  levels,  technology  advancements, 
production  quotas  or  other  actions  imposed  by  OPEC+  countries,  actions  of  regulators,  weather-related  damage  and 
disruptions,  competing  fuel  prices,  natural  and  human  causes  beyond  the  company’s  control  such  as  the  COVID-19 
pandemic,  and  regional  supply  interruptions  or  fears  thereof  that  may  be  caused  by  military  conflicts,  civil  unrest  or 
political uncertainty. Any of these factors could also inhibit the company’s production capacity in an affected region. The 
company closely monitors developments in the countries in which it operates and holds investments and seeks to manage 
risks in operating its facilities and businesses. 

The  longer-term  trend  in  earnings  for  the  upstream  segment  is  also  a  function  of  other  factors,  including  the  company’s 
ability to find or acquire and efficiently produce crude oil and natural gas, changes in fiscal terms of contracts, the pace of 
energy transition, and changes in tax, environmental and other applicable laws and regulations.

Chevron  has  interests  in  Venezuelan  assets  operated  by  independent  affiliates.  Chevron  has  been  conducting  limited 
activities in Venezuela consistent with the authorization provided pursuant to general licenses issued by the United States 
government.  In  fourth  quarter  2022,  Chevron  received  License  41  from  the  United  States  government,  enabling  the 
company  to  resume  activity  in  Venezuela  subject  to  certain  limitations.  The  financial  results  for  Chevron’s  business  in 
Venezuela  are  being  recorded  as  non-equity  investments  since  2020,  where  income  is  only  recognized  when  cash  is 
received and production and reserves are not included in the company's results. Crude oil liftings in Venezuela commenced 
in first quarter 2023, which are expected to positively impact the company’s results going forward.

Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), an equity affiliate, operates a 935-mile crude oil export pipeline from the Tengiz Field 
in Kazakhstan to tanker-loading facilities at Novorossiysk on the Russian coast of the Black Sea, providing the main export 
route  for  crude  oil  production  from  TCO,  Karachaganak  and  other  producing  fields  in  Kazakhstan.  The  tanker  loading 
facilities  at  Novorossiysk  consist  of  three  single  point  mooring  facilities,  with  availability  of  two  or  more  required  to 
operate at full capacity. CPC is capable of operating at approximately 70 percent of capacity with one single point mooring 
facility in service. Two of the three offshore loading moorings at the CPC marine terminal were taken out of service during 
August 2022 for equipment repairs identified during normal maintenance. Repairs were completed in fourth quarter 2022. 
Production at TCO was not impacted by this CPC outage given turnaround activity at TCO and at other regional producers 
that  ship  through  CPC.  However,  there  is  a  risk  that  production  from  TCO  could  be  curtailed  in  the  future  should 
availability of export facilities be constrained.

Governments (including Russia) have imposed and may impose additional sanctions and other trade laws, restrictions and 
regulations that could lead to disruption in our ability to produce, transport and/or export crude in the region around Russia 
and could have an adverse effect on CPC operations and/or the company’s financial position. The financial impacts of such 
risks, including presently imposed sanctions, are not currently material for the company; however, it remains uncertain how 
long these conditions may last or how severe they may become.

Proved Reserves Net proved reserves for consolidated companies and affiliated companies totaled 11.2 billion barrels of 
oil-equivalent  at  year-end  2022,  a  slight  decrease  from  year-end  2021.  The  reserve  replacement  ratio  in  2022  was 
97 percent. The 5 and 10 year reserve replacement ratios were 92 percent and 99 percent, respectively. Refer to Table V for 
a tabulation of the company’s proved net oil and gas reserves by geographic area, at the beginning of 2020 and each year-
end from 2020 through 2022, and an accompanying discussion of major changes to proved reserves by geographic area for 
the three-year period ending December 31, 2022.

Refer  to  the  “Results  of  Operations”  section  on  pages  39  and  40  for  additional  discussion  of  the  company’s  upstream 
business.

Downstream  Earnings  for  the  downstream  segment  are  closely  tied  to  margins  on  the  refining,  manufacturing  and 
marketing of products that include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricants, fuel oil, fuel and lubricant additives, petrochemicals 
and renewable fuels. Industry margins are sometimes volatile and can be affected by the global and regional supply-and-
demand  balance  for  refined  products  and  petrochemicals,  and  by  changes  in  the  price  of  crude  oil,  other  refinery  and 
petrochemical feedstocks, and natural gas. Industry margins can also be influenced by inventory levels, geopolitical events, 
costs of materials and services, refinery or chemical plant capacity utilization, maintenance programs, and disruptions at 
refineries or chemical plants resulting from unplanned outages due to severe weather, fires or other operational events.

Other  factors  affecting  profitability  for  downstream  operations  include  the  reliability  and  efficiency  of  the  company’s 
refining,  marketing  and  petrochemical  assets,  the  effectiveness  of  its  crude  oil  and  product  supply  functions,  and  the 
volatility  of  tanker-charter  rates  for  the  company’s  shipping  operations,  which  are  driven  by  the  industry’s  demand  for 
crude oil and product tankers. Other factors beyond the company’s control include the general level of inflation and energy 
costs to operate the company’s refining, marketing and petrochemical assets, and changes in tax, environmental, and other 
applicable laws and regulations.

Refining margins were higher in 2022 because of recovering demand for refined products, low product inventories, lower 
industry  refining  capacity  and  lower  product  exports  from  Russia  and  China.  Refining  utilization  was  strong  in  2022  to 
keep pace with demand growth. Although refining margins were elevated and still remain above historical levels, they fell 
considerably in late 2022. There are signs that higher refined product prices and concerns over macroeconomic conditions 
are slowing demand.

The company’s most significant marketing areas are the West Coast and Gulf Coast of the United States and Asia Pacific. 
Chevron operates or has significant ownership interests in refineries in each of these areas. Additionally, the company has a 
growing presence in renewable fuels after acquiring REG. 

Refer to the “Results of Operations” section on page 40 for additional discussion of the company’s downstream operations.

U.S.  upstream  reported  earnings  of  $12.6  billion  in  2022,  compared  with  $7.3  billion  in  2021.  The  increase  was  due  to 
higher realizations of $6.6 billion and higher sales volumes of $380 million, partially offset by higher operating expenses 
of $1.1 billion largely due to an early contract termination at Sabine Pass and lower asset sale gains of $670 million.

The company’s average realization for U.S. crude oil and natural gas liquids in 2022 was $76.71 per barrel compared with 
$56.06 in 2021. The average natural gas realization was $5.55 per thousand cubic feet in 2022, compared with $3.11 in 
2021.

Net  oil-equivalent  production  in  2022  averaged  1.18  million  barrels  per  day,  up  4  percent  from  2021.  The  increase  was 
primarily due to net production increases in the Permian Basin.

The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production for 2022 averaged 888,000 barrels per day, up 3 percent from 2021. 
Net natural gas production averaged 1.76 billion cubic feet per day in 2022, an increase of 4 percent from 2021.

International upstream reported earnings of $17.7 billion in 2022, compared with $8.5 billion in 2021. The increase was 
primarily  due  to  higher  realizations  of  $10.0  billion,  lower  operating  expenses,  lower  depreciation,  depletion  and 
amortization related to end of concessions in Indonesia and Thailand of $1.3 billion and asset sale gains of $220 million. 
This  was  partially  offset  by  lower  sales  volumes  of  $1.3  billion  (also  largely  associated  with  the  end  of  concessions  in 
Indonesia  and  Thailand)  and  write-off  and  impairment  charges  of  $1.1  billion.  Foreign  currency  effects  had  a  favorable 
impact on earnings of $514 million between periods. 

The  company’s  average  realization  for  international  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  liquids  in  2022  was  $90.71  per  barrel 
compared with $64.53 in 2021. The average natural gas realization was $9.75 per thousand cubic feet in 2022 compared 
with $5.93 in 2021.

International  net  oil-equivalent  production  was  1.82  million  barrels  per  day  in  2022,  down  7  percent  from  2021.  The 
decrease  was  primarily  due  to  lower  production  following  expiration  of  the  Erawan  concession  in  Thailand  and  Rokan 
concession in Indonesia. 

The net liquids component of international oil-equivalent production was 831,000 barrels per day in 2022,  a decrease of 13 
percent  from  2021.  International  net  natural  gas  production  of  5.92  billion  cubic  feet  per  day  in  2022,    a  decrease  of  2

U.S. downstream reported earnings of $5.4 billion in 2022, compared with $2.4 billion in 2021. The increase was primarily 
due to higher margins on refined product sales of $4.4 billion, partially offset by lower earnings from the 50 percent-owned 
CPChem of $790 million and higher operating expenses of $790 million, largely due to planned turnarounds.

Total refined product sales of 1.23 million barrels per day in 2022 increased 8 percent from 2021, mainly due to higher 
renewable fuel sales following the REG acquisition and higher jet fuel demand.

mainly due to higher margins on refined product sales of $2.7 billion and a favorable swing in foreign currency effects of 
$50 million between periods, partially offset by higher operating expenses of $650 million, largely due to transportation 
costs.

Total refined product sales of 1.39 million barrels per day in 2022 were up 5 percent from 2021, mainly due to higher jet 
fuel demand as travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic continue to ease.

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

The increase in income tax expense in 2022 of $8.1 billion is due to the increase in total income before tax for the company 
of $28.0 billion. The increase in income before taxes for the company is primarily the result of higher upstream realizations 
and downstream margins. 

U.S. income before tax increased from $9.7 billion in 2021 to $21.0 billion in 2022. This $11.3 billion increase in income 
was  primarily  driven  by  higher  upstream  realizations  and  downstream  margins,  partially  offset  by  higher  operating 
expenses  and  lower  asset  sale  gains.  The  increase  in  income  had  a  direct  impact  on  the  company’s  U.S.  income  tax 
resulting in an increase to tax expense of $2.9 billion between year-over-year periods, from $1.6 billion in 2021 to $4.5 
billion in 2022.

International income before tax increased from $12.0 billion in 2021 to $28.7 billion in 2022. This $16.7 billion increase in 
income  was  primarily  driven  by  higher  upstream  realizations  and  downstream  margins.  The  increased  income  primarily 
drove  the  $5.2  billion  increase  in  international  income  tax  expense  between  year-over-year  periods,  from  $4.3  billion  in 
2021 to $9.6 billion in 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Sources  and  Uses  of  Cash  The  strength  of  the  company’s  balance  sheet  enables  it  to  fund  any  timing  differences 
throughout the year between cash inflows and outflows. 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities  Total balances  were $17.9 billion and $5.7  billion at December 31, 
2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities in 2022 was $49.6 billion, compared to $29.2 billion in 
2021, primarily due to higher upstream realizations and refining margins. Cash provided by operating activities was net of 
contributions  to  employee  pension  plans  of  approximately  $1.3  billion  in  2022  and  $1.8  billion  in  2021.  Proceeds  and 
deposits related to asset sales totaled $1.4 billion in each of the last two years. Returns of investment totaled $1.2 billion 
and $439 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The returns of investment in 2022 were primarily from Angola LNG. As 
of third quarter 2022, Angola LNG distributions were, and are expected to continue to be, largely reflected in cash flow 
from operations. Cash flow from financing activities includes proceeds from shares issued for stock options of $5.8 billion 
in 2022, compared with $1.4 billion in 2021. Future cash proceeds from option exercises are expected to be lower than in 
2022.  

Restricted cash of $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, was held in cash and short-
term marketable securities and recorded as “Deferred charges and other assets” and “Prepaid expenses and other current 
assets”  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet.  These  amounts  are  generally  associated  with  upstream  decommissioning 
activities, tax payments and funds held in escrow for tax-deferred exchanges. 

Dividends Dividends paid to common stockholders were $11.0 billion in 2022 and $10.2 billion in 2021. 

Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities Total debt and finance lease liabilities were $23.3 billion at December 31, 2022, down 
from $31.4 billion at year-end 2021. 

The $8.1 billion decrease in total debt and finance lease liabilities during 2022 was primarily due to the repayment of long-
term notes that matured during the year and the early retirement of long-term notes. The company’s debt and finance lease 
liabilities  due  within  one  year,  consisting  primarily  of  the  current  portion  of  long-term  debt  and  redeemable  long-term 
obligations,  totaled  $6.0  billion  at  December  31,  2022,  compared  with  $8.0  billion  at  year-end  2021.  Of  these  amounts, 
$4.1 billion and $7.8 billion were reclassified to long-term debt at the end of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

At year-end 2022, settlement of these obligations was not expected to require the use of working capital in 2023, as the 
company had the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to refinance them on a long-term basis. 

The  company  has  access  to  a  commercial  paper  program  as  a  financing  source  for  working  capital  or  other  short-term 
needs. The company had no commercial paper outstanding as of December 31, 2022. 

The  company  has  an  automatic  shelf  registration  statement  that  expires  in  August  2023  for  an  unspecified  amount  of 
nonconvertible debt securities issued by Chevron Corporation or Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (CUSA).

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

The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate the company’s debt, and the company’s cost of borrowing can increase 
or decrease depending on these debt ratings. The company has outstanding public bonds issued by Chevron Corporation, 
CUSA, Noble Energy, Inc. (Noble), and Texaco Capital Inc. Most of these securities are the obligations of, or guaranteed 
by, Chevron Corporation and are rated AA- by Standard and Poor’s Corporation and Aa2 by Moody’s Investors Service. 
The  company’s  U.S.  commercial  paper  is  rated  A-1+  by  Standard  and  Poor’s  and  P-1  by  Moody’s.  All  of  these  ratings 
denote high-quality, investment-grade securities. 

The  company’s  future  debt  level  is  dependent  primarily  on  results  of  operations,  cash  that  may  be  generated  from  asset 
dispositions, the capital program, lending commitments to affiliates and shareholder distributions. Based on its high-quality 
debt  ratings,  the  company  believes  that  it  has  substantial  borrowing  capacity  to  meet  unanticipated  cash  requirements. 
During  extended  periods  of  low  prices  for  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  and  narrow  margins  for  refined  products  and 
commodity chemicals, the company has the ability to modify its capital spending plans and discontinue or curtail the stock 
repurchase program. This provides the flexibility to continue paying the common stock dividend and remain committed to 
retaining the company’s high-quality debt ratings.

Committed Credit Facilities Information related to committed credit facilities is included in Note 19 Short-Term Debt.

Summarized Financial  Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries CUSA issued  bonds that are fully and 
unconditionally  guaranteed  on  an  unsecured  basis  by  Chevron  Corporation  (together,  the  “Obligor  Group”).  The  tables 
below  contain  summary  financial  information  for  Chevron  Corporation,  as  Guarantor,  excluding  its  consolidated 
subsidiaries, and CUSA, as the issuer, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries. The summary financial information of the 
Obligor  Group  is  presented  on  a  combined  basis,  and  transactions  between  the  combined  entities  have  been  eliminated.

Common  Stock  Repurchase  Program  The  Board  of  Directors  authorized  a  stock  repurchase  program  in  2019,  with  a 
maximum dollar limit of $25 billion and no set term limits (the “2019 Program”). During 2022, the company purchased 
69.9 million shares for $11.25 billion under the 2019 Program. As of December 31, 2022, the company had purchased a 
total of 131.4 million shares for $18.1 billion, resulting in $6.9 billion remaining under the 2019 Program. The company 
currently expects to repurchase $3.75 billion of its common stock during the first quarter of 2023 under the 2019 Program 
and will incur an additional one percent excise tax on such purchases as required by the IRA.

On January 25, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the company’s shares of common stock in an 
aggregate  amount  of  $75  billion.  The  $75  billion  authorization  takes  effect  on  April  1,  2023  and  does  not  have  a  fixed 
expiration date (the “2023 Program”). It replaces the Board’s previous repurchase authorization of $25 billion from January 
2019, which will terminate on March 31, 2023, after the completion of the company’s repurchases in the first quarter of 
2023. 

Repurchases  of  shares  of  the  company’s  common  stock  may  be  made  from  time  to  time  in  the  open  market,  by  block 
purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as determined by the company. The timing of the

repurchases  and  the  actual  amount  repurchased  will  depend  on  a  variety  of  factors,  including  the  market  price  of  the 
company’s  shares,  general  market  and  economic  conditions,  and  other  factors.  The  stock  repurchase  program  does  not 
obligate  the  company  to  acquire  any  particular  amount  of  common  stock  and  may  be  suspended  or  discontinued  at  any 
time.
Capital Expenditures Capital expenditures (Capex) primarily includes additions to fixed asset or investment accounts for 
the company’s consolidated subsidiaries and is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Capex by business 
segment for 2022, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Capex for 2022 was $12.0 billion, 49 percent higher than 2021 due to increased upstream spend in the Permian Basin along 
with higher spend in downstream, largely related to the formation of the Bunge North America, Inc. (Bunge) joint venture 
and acquisition of the remaining interest in Beyond6, LLC (Beyond6).

The company estimates that 2023 Capex will be approximately $14 billion. In the upstream business, Capex is estimated to 
be $11.5 billion and includes more than $4 billion for Permian Basin development and roughly $2 billion for other shale & 
tight  assets.  More  than  20  percent  of  upstream  Capex  is  planned  for  projects  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  Worldwide 
downstream  spending  in  2023  is  estimated  to  be  $1.9  billion.  Investments  in  technology  businesses  and  other  corporate 
operations in 2023 are budgeted at $0.6 billion. Lower carbon Capex across all segments totals around $2 billion, including 
approximately $0.5 billion to lower the carbon intensity of Chevron’s traditional operations and about $1 billion to increase 
renewable fuels production capacity. 

Affiliate capital expenditures (Affiliate Capex), which does not require cash outlays by the company, is expected to be $3 
billion in 2023.  Nearly half of Affiliate Capex is for Tengizchevroil’s FGP / WPMP Project in Kazakhstan and about a 
third is for CPChem.  

Capital  and  Exploratory  Expenditures  Capital  and  exploratory  expenditures  (C&E)  is  a  key  performance  indicator  and 
provides  the  company’s  investment  level  in  its  consolidated  companies.  This  metric  includes  additions  to  fixed  asset  or 
investment  accounts  along  with  exploration  expense  for  its  consolidated  companies.  Management  uses  this  metric  along 
with Affiliate C&E (as defined below) to manage the allocation of capital across the company’s entire portfolio, funding 
requirements and ultimately shareholder distributions.

also  a  key  performance  indicator  that  provides  the  company’s  share  of  investments  in  its  significant  equity  affiliate 
companies.  This  metric  includes  additions  to  fixed  asset  and  investment  accounts  along  with  exploration  expense  in  the 
equity  affiliate  companies’  financial  statements.  Management  uses  this  metric  to  assess  possible  funding  needs  and/or

Affiliate C&E to manage allocation of capital across the company’s entire portfolio, funding requirements and ultimately

Financial Ratios and Metrics
The following represent several metrics the company believes  are useful measures  to monitor the  financial  health of the 
company and its performance over time:

Current Ratio Current assets divided by current liabilities, which indicates the company’s ability to repay its short-term 
liabilities  with  short-term  assets.  The  current  ratio  in  all  periods  was  adversely  affected  by  the  fact  that  Chevron’s 
inventories  are  valued  on  a  last-in,  first-out  basis.  At  year-end  2022,  the  book  value  of  inventory  was  lower  than 
replacement costs, based on average acquisition costs during the year, by approximately $9.1 billion.

interest, less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, divided by before-tax interest costs. This ratio indicates the 
company’s ability to pay interest on outstanding debt. The company’s interest coverage ratio in 2022 was higher than 2021 
due to higher income.

The market risk associated with the company’s portfolio of financial and derivative instruments is discussed below. The 
estimates  of  financial  exposure  to  market  risk  do  not  represent  the  company’s  projection  of  future  market  changes.  The 
actual impact of future market changes could differ materially due to factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including 
those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A.

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

Derivative Commodity Instruments Chevron is exposed to market risks related to the price volatility of crude oil, refined 
products,  natural  gas  liquids,  natural  gas,  liquefied  natural  gas  and  refinery  feedstocks.  The  company  uses 
derivative commodity instruments to manage these exposures on a portion of its activity, including firm commitments and 
anticipated transactions  for  the  purchase,  sale  and  storage  of  crude  oil,  refined  products,  natural  gas  liquids,  natural 
gas,  liquefied  natural  gas  and  feedstock  for  company  refineries.  The  company  also  uses  derivative  commodity 
instruments  for  limited  trading  purposes.  The  results  of  these  activities  were  not  material  to  the  company’s  financial 
position, results of operations or cash flows in 2022. 

The company’s market exposure positions are monitored on a daily basis by an internal Risk Control group in accordance 
with the company’s risk management policies. The company’s risk management practices and its compliance with policies 
are reviewed by the Audit Committee of the company’s Board of Directors. 

Derivatives  beyond  those  designated  as  normal  purchase  and  normal  sale  contracts  are  recorded  at  fair  value  on 
the Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  with  resulting  gains  and  losses  reflected  in  income.  Fair  values  are  derived  principally 
from  published  market  quotes  and  other  independent  third-party  quotes.  The  change  in  fair  value  of  Chevron’s 
derivative commodity instruments in 2022 was not material to the company’s results of operations. 

The  company  uses  the  Monte  Carlo  simulation  method  as  its  Value-at-Risk  (VaR)  model  to  estimate  the 
maximum potential  loss  in  fair  value,  at  the  95  percent  confidence  level  with  a  one-day  holding  period,  from  the  effect 
of  adverse changes in market conditions on derivative commodity instruments held or issued. Based on these inputs, the 
VaR for the company’s  primary  risk  exposures  in  the  area  of  derivative  commodity  instruments  at  December  31,  2022 
and 2021 was not material to the company’s cash flows or results of operations. 

Foreign  Currency  The  company  may  enter  into  foreign  currency  derivative  contracts  to  manage  some  of  its 
foreign currency  exposures.  These  exposures  include  revenue  and  anticipated  purchase  transactions,  including  foreign 
currency capital expenditures and lease commitments. The foreign currency derivative contracts, if any, are recorded at fair 
value on the  balance  sheet  with  resulting  gains  and  losses  reflected  in  income.  There  were  no  material  open  foreign 
currency derivative contracts at December 31, 2022.

Interest Rates The company may enter into interest rate swaps from time to time as part of its overall strategy to manage 
the  interest  rate  risk  on  its  debt.  Interest  rate  swaps,  if  any,  are  recorded  at  fair  value  on  the  balance  sheet  with 
resulting gains and losses reflected in income. At year-end 2022, the company had no interest rate swaps. 

Transactions With Related Parties 

Chevron  enters  into  a  number  of  business  arrangements  with  related  parties,  principally  its  equity  affiliates. 
These arrangements  include  long-term  supply  or  offtake  agreements  and  long-term  purchase  agreements.  Refer  to 
“Other  Information”  in  Note  15  Investments  and  Advances  for  further  discussion.  Management  believes  these 
agreements  have been negotiated on terms consistent with those that would have been negotiated with an unrelated party.

environmental issues. The liability balance of approximately $12.7 billion for asset retirement obligations at year-end 2022 
is related primarily to upstream properties. 

For the company’s other ongoing operating assets, such as refineries and chemicals facilities, no provisions are made for 
exit or cleanup costs that may be required when such assets reach the end of their useful lives unless a decision to sell or 
otherwise decommission the facility has been made, as the indeterminate settlement dates for the asset retirements prevent 
estimation of the fair value of the asset retirement obligation.

Environmental Matters 

The  company  is  subject  to  various  international  and  U.S.  federal,  state  and  local  environmental,  health  and  safety  laws, 
regulations  and  market-based  programs.  These  laws,  regulations  and  programs  continue  to  evolve  and  are  expected  to 
increase  in  both  number  and  complexity  over  time  and  govern  not  only  the  manner  in  which  the  company  conducts  its 
operations, but also the products it sells. Consideration of environmental issues and the responses to those issues through 
international agreements and national, regional or state legislation or regulations are integrated into the company’s strategy 
and  planning,  capital  investment  reviews  and  risk  management  tools  and  processes,  where  applicable.  They  are  also 
factored  into  the  company’s  long-range  supply,  demand  and  energy  price  forecasts.  These  forecasts  reflect  long-range 
effects from renewable fuel penetration, energy efficiency standards, climate-related policy actions, and demand response 
to oil and natural gas prices. In addition, legislation and regulations intended to address hydraulic fracturing also continue 
to evolve in many jurisdictions where we operate. Refer to “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, on pages 20 through 26 of the 
company's  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  a  discussion  of  some  of  the  inherent  risks  of  increasingly  restrictive 
environmental and other regulation that could materially impact the company’s results of operations or financial condition. 
Refer to Business Environment and Outlook on pages 32 and 33 for a discussion of legislative and regulatory efforts to 
address climate change.  

Most  of  the  costs  of  complying  with  existing  laws  and  regulations  pertaining  to  company  operations  and  products 
are  embedded  in  the  normal  costs  of  doing  business.  However,  it  is  not  possible  to  predict  with  certainty  the 
amount  of additional investments in new or existing technology or facilities or the amounts of increased operating costs to 
be  incurred  in  the  future  to  prevent,  control,  reduce  or  eliminate  releases  of  hazardous  materials  or  other 
pollutants  into  the environment;  remediate  and  restore  areas  damaged  by  prior  releases  of  hazardous  materials; 
or  comply  with  new  environmental  laws  or  regulations.  Although  these  costs  may  be  significant  to  the  results  of 
operations in any single period, the  company  does  not  presently  expect  them  to  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the 
company’s  liquidity  or  financial position.

Accidental  leaks  and  spills  requiring  cleanup  may  occur  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.  The  company  may 
incur expenses  for  corrective  actions  at  various  owned  and  previously  owned  facilities  and  at  third-party-owned  waste 
disposal sites  used  by  the  company.  An  obligation  may  arise  when  operations  are  closed  or  sold  or  at  non-Chevron 
sites  where company products have been handled or disposed of. Most of the expenditures to fulfill these obligations relate 
to facilities and  sites  where  past  operations  followed  practices  and  procedures  that  were  considered  acceptable  at  the 
time  but  now require investigative or remedial work or both to meet current standards.

For  2023,  total  worldwide  environmental  capital  expenditures  are  estimated  at  $0.2  billion.  These  capital  costs  are  in 
addition  to  the  ongoing  costs  of  complying  with  environmental  regulations  and  the  costs  to  remediate  previously 
contaminated sites.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions 

Management makes many estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America (GAAP) that may have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements and 
related  disclosures  and  on  the  comparability  of  such  information  over  different  reporting  periods.  Such  estimates  and 
assumptions affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as disclosures of contingent assets 
and liabilities. Estimates and assumptions are based on management’s experience and other information available prior to 
the  issuance  of  the  financial  statements.  Materially  different  results  can  occur  as  circumstances  change  and  additional 
information becomes known. 

The discussion in this section of “critical” accounting estimates and assumptions is according to the disclosure guidelines 
of the SEC, wherein: 

1.

2.

the  nature  of  the  estimates  and  assumptions  is  material  due  to  the  levels  of  subjectivity  and  judgment
necessary to account for highly uncertain matters, or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and

the impact of the estimates and assumptions on the company’s financial condition or operating performance is
material.

The  development  and  selection  of  accounting  estimates  and  assumptions,  including  those  deemed  “critical,”  and  the 
associated  disclosures  in  this  discussion  have  been  discussed  with  the  Audit  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors.  The 
areas of accounting and the associated “critical” estimates and assumptions made by the company are as follows: 

Oil and Gas Reserves Crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves are estimates of future production that impact 
certain asset and expense  accounts included in  the Consolidated Financial Statements. Proved  reserves  are  the  estimated 
quantities  of  oil  and  gas  that  geoscience  and  engineering  data  demonstrate  with  reasonable  certainty  to  be  economically 
producible  in  the  future  under  existing  economic  conditions,  operating  methods  and  government  regulations.  Proved 
reserves include both developed and undeveloped volumes. Proved developed reserves represent volumes expected to be 
recovered  through  existing  wells  with  existing  equipment  and  operating  methods.  Proved  undeveloped  reserves  are 
volumes expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled proved acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively 
major expenditure is required for recompletion. Variables impacting Chevron’s estimated volumes of crude oil and natural 
gas reserves include field performance, available technology, commodity prices, and development, production and carbon 
costs. 

The estimates of crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves are important to the timing of expense recognition 
for costs incurred and to the valuation of certain oil and gas producing assets. Impacts of oil and gas reserves on Chevron’s 
Consolidated Financial Statements, using the successful efforts method of accounting, include the following:

1. Amortization - Capitalized exploratory drilling and development costs are depreciated on a unit-of-production
(UOP) basis using proved developed reserves. Acquisition costs of proved properties are amortized on a UOP
basis  using  total  proved  reserves.  During  2022,  Chevron’s  UOP  Depreciation,  Depletion  and  Amortization
(DD&A) for oil and gas properties was $10.8 billion, and proved developed reserves at the beginning of 2022
were  6.6  billion  barrels  for  consolidated  companies.  If  the  estimates  of  proved  reserves  used  in  the  UOP
calculations for consolidated operations had been lower by five percent across all oil and gas properties, UOP
DD&A in 2022 would have increased by approximately $600 million.

2.

Impairment - Oil and gas reserves are used in assessing oil and gas producing properties for impairment. A
significant  reduction  in  the  estimated  reserves  of  a  property  would  trigger  an  impairment  review.  Proved
reserves (and, in some cases, a portion of unproved resources) are used to estimate future production volumes
in  the  cash  flow  model.  For  a  further  discussion  of  estimates  and  assumptions  used  in  impairment
assessments, see Impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment and Investments in Affiliates below.

Refer to Table V, “Reserve Quantity Information,” for the changes in proved reserve estimates for each of the three years 
ended December 31,  2020, 2021 and 2022, and to Table VII, “Changes in the Standardized Measure of Discounted Future 
Net Cash Flows From Proved Reserves” for estimates of proved reserve values for each of the three years ended December 
31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

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

This Oil and Gas Reserves commentary should be read in conjunction with the Properties, Plant and Equipment section of 
Note  1  Summary  of  Significant  Accounting  Policies,  which  includes  a  description  of  the  “successful  efforts”  method 
of accounting for oil and gas exploration and production activities.

Impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment and Investments in Affiliates The company assesses its properties, plant 
and  equipment  (PP&E)  for  possible  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying 
value of the assets may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows 
expected  from  the  asset,  an  impairment  charge  is  recorded  for  the  excess  of  the  carrying  value  of  the  asset  over  its 
estimated fair value. 

Determination  as  to  whether  and  how  much  an  asset  is  impaired  involves  management  estimates  on  highly  uncertain 
matters,  such  as  future  commodity  prices,  operating  expenses,  carbon  costs,  production  profiles,  the  pace  of  the  energy 
transition, and the outlook for global or regional market supply-and-demand conditions for crude oil, natural gas liquids, 
natural gas, commodity chemicals and refined products. However, the impairment reviews and calculations are based on 
assumptions  that  are  generally  consistent  with  the  company’s  business  plans  and  long-term  investment  decisions. 
Refer also to the discussion of impairments of properties, plant and equipment in Note 18 Properties, Plant and Equipment 
and to the section on Properties, Plant and Equipment in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

The company performs impairment assessments when triggering events arise to determine whether any write-down in the 
carrying  value  of  an  asset  or  asset  group  is  required.  For  example,  when  significant  downward  revisions  to  crude  oil, 
natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves are made for any single field or concession, an impairment review is performed 
to  determine  if  the  carrying  value  of  the  asset  remains  recoverable.  Similarly,  a  significant  downward  revision  in  the 
company’s  crude  oil,  natural  gas  liquids  or  natural  gas  price  outlook  would  trigger  impairment  reviews  for  impacted 
upstream assets. In addition, impairments could occur due to changes in national, state or local environmental regulations 
or laws, including those designed to stop or impede the development or production of oil and gas. Also, if the expectation 
of sale of a particular asset or asset group in any period has been deemed more likely than not, an impairment review is 
performed, and if the estimated net proceeds exceed the carrying value of the asset or asset group, no impairment charge is 
required. Such calculations are reviewed each period until the asset or asset group is disposed. Assets that are not impaired 
on a held-and-used basis could possibly become impaired if a decision is made to sell such assets. That is, the assets would 
be impaired if they are classified as held-for-sale and the estimated proceeds from the sale, less costs to sell, are less than 
the assets’ associated carrying values.

Investments in common stock of affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method, as well as investments in other 
securities  of  these  equity  investees,  are  reviewed  for  impairment  when  the  fair  value  of  the  investment  falls  below  the 
company’s carrying value. When this occurs, a determination must be made as to whether this loss is other-than-temporary, 
in which case the investment is impaired. Because of the number of differing assumptions potentially affecting whether an 
investment is impaired in any period or the amount of the impairment, a sensitivity analysis is not practicable. 

A sensitivity analysis of the impact on earnings for these periods if other assumptions had been used in impairment reviews 
and  impairment  calculations  is  not  practicable,  given  the  broad  range  of  the  company’s  PP&E  and  the  number  of 
assumptions  involved  in  the  estimates.  That  is,  favorable  changes  to  some  assumptions  might  have  avoided  the  need  to 
impair any assets in these periods, whereas unfavorable changes might have caused an additional unknown number of other 
assets to become impaired, or resulted in larger impacts on impaired assets.

Asset  Retirement  Obligations  In  the  determination  of  fair  value  for  an  asset  retirement  obligation  (ARO),  the  company 
uses various assumptions and judgments, including such factors as the existence of a legal obligation, estimated amounts 
and  timing  of  settlements,  discount  and  inflation  rates,  and  the  expected  impact  of  advances  in  technology  and  process 
improvements. A sensitivity analysis of the ARO impact on earnings for 2022 is not practicable, given the broad range of 
the  company’s  long-lived  assets  and  the  number  of  assumptions  involved  in  the  estimates.  That  is,  favorable  changes  to 
some assumptions would have reduced estimated future obligations, thereby lowering accretion expense and amortization 
costs,  whereas  unfavorable  changes  would  have  the  opposite  effect.  Refer  to  Note  25  Asset  Retirement  Obligations 
for additional discussions on asset retirement obligations.

Pension  and  Other  Postretirement  Benefit  Plans  Note  23  Employee  Benefit  Plans  includes  information  on  the 
funded status  of  the  company’s  pension  and  other  postretirement  benefit  (OPEB)  plans  reflected  on  the  Consolidated 
Balance Sheet; the components of pension and OPEB expense reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Income; and the 
related underlying assumptions.

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

The  determination  of  pension  plan  expense  and  obligations  is  based  on  a  number  of  actuarial  assumptions.  Two  critical 
assumptions  are  the  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  on  plan  assets  and  the  discount  rate  applied  to  pension  plan 
obligations. Critical assumptions in determining expense and obligations for OPEB plans, which provide for certain health 
care and life insurance benefits for qualifying retired employees and which are not funded, are the discount rate and the 
assumed  health  care  cost-trend  rates.  Information  related  to  the  company’s  processes  to  develop  these  assumptions 
is included  in  Note  23  Employee  Benefit  Plans  under  the  relevant  headings.  Actual  rates  may  vary  significantly 
from estimates because of unanticipated changes beyond the company’s control.

For 2022, the company used an expected long-term rate of return of 6.6 percent and a discount rate for service costs of 3.5 
percent and a discount rate for interest cost of 2.7 percent for the primary U.S. pension plan. The actual return for 2022 was 
(17.8)  percent.  For  the  10  years  ended  December  31,  2022,  actual  asset  returns  averaged  5.7  percent  for  this  plan. 
Additionally,  with  the  exception  of  three  years  within  this  10-year  period,  actual  asset  returns  for  this  plan  equaled  or 
exceeded 6.6 percent during each year.

Total  pension  expense  for  2022  was  $763  million.  An  increase  in  the  expected  long-term  return  on  plan  assets  or  the 
discount rate would reduce pension plan expense, and vice versa. As an indication of the sensitivity of pension expense to 
the long-term rate of return assumption, a 1 percent increase in this assumption for the company’s primary U.S. pension 
plan,  which  accounted  for  about  55  percent  of  companywide  pension  expense,  would  have  reduced  total  pension  plan 
expense for 2022 by approximately $75 million. A 1 percent increase in the discount rates for this same plan would have 
reduced pension expense for 2022 by approximately $177 million. 

The  aggregate  funded  status  recognized  at  December  31,  2022,  was  a  net  liability  of  approximately  $1.8  billion.  An 
increase in the discount rate would decrease the pension obligation, thus changing the funded status of a plan. At December 
31, 2022, the company used a discount rate of 5.2 percent to measure the obligations for the primary U.S. pension plan. As 
an indication of the sensitivity of pension liabilities to the discount rate assumption, a 0.25 percent increase in the discount 
rate  applied  to  the  company’s  primary  U.S.  pension  plan,  which  accounted  for  about  63  percent  of  the  companywide 
pension obligation, would have reduced the plan obligation by approximately $239 million, and would have decreased the 
plan’s underfunded status from approximately $475 million to $236 million. 

For the company’s OPEB plans, expense for 2022 was $89 million, and the total liability, all unfunded at the end of 2022, 
was $1.9 billion. For the primary U.S. OPEB plan, the company used a discount rate for service cost of 3.1 percent and a 
discount rate for interest cost of 2.1 percent to measure expense in 2022, and a 5.2 percent discount rate to measure the 
benefit obligations at December 31, 2022. Discount rate changes, similar to those used in the pension sensitivity analysis, 
resulted in an immaterial impact on 2022 OPEB expense and OPEB liabilities at the end of 2022.

Differences  between  the  various  assumptions  used  to  determine  expense  and  the  funded  status  of  each  plan  and 
actual  experience  are  included  in  actuarial  gain/loss.  Refer  to  page  90  in  Note  23  Employee  Benefit  Plans  for  more 
information  on  the  $3.4  billion  of  before-tax  actuarial  losses  recorded  by  the  company  as  of  December  31,  2022.  In 
addition,  information  related  to  company  contributions  is  included  on  page  93  in  Note  23  Employee  Benefit  Plans 
under  the  heading  “Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments.” 

Contingent  Losses  Management  also  makes  judgments  and  estimates  in  recording  liabilities  for  claims,  litigation,  tax 
matters  and  environmental  remediation.  Actual  costs  can  frequently  vary  from  estimates  for  a  variety  of  reasons.  For 
example, the costs for settlement of claims and litigation can vary from estimates based on differing interpretations of laws, 
opinions on culpability and assessments on the amount of damages. Similarly, liabilities for environmental remediation are 
subject  to  change  because  of  changes  in  laws,  regulations  and  their  interpretation,  the  determination  of  additional 
information on the extent and nature of site contamination, and improvements in technology. 

Under the accounting rules, a liability is generally recorded for these types of contingencies if management determines the 
loss to be both probable and estimable. The company generally reports these losses as “Operating expenses” or “Selling, 
general  and  administrative  expenses”  on  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Income.  An  exception  to  this  handling  is  for 
income tax matters, for which benefits are recognized only if management determines the tax position is more likely than 
not (i.e., likelihood greater than 50 percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction. For additional discussion of income tax 
uncertainties, refer to Note 24 Other Contingencies and Commitments under the heading “Income Taxes.” Refer also to the 
business  segment  discussions  elsewhere  in  this  section  for  the  effect  on  earnings  from  losses  associated  with  certain 
litigation, environmental remediation and tax matters for the three years ended December 31, 2022. 

An  estimate  as  to  the  sensitivity  to  earnings  for  these  periods  if  other  assumptions  had  been  used  in  recording  these 
liabilities  is  not  practicable  because  of  the  number  of  contingencies  that  must  be  assessed,  the  number  of  underlying

of such loss. For further information, refer to “Changes in management’s estimates and assumptions may have a material

Management’s Responsibility for Financial Statements 

To the Stockholders of Chevron Corporation

Management of Chevron Corporation is responsible for preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements 
and  the  related  information  appearing  in  this  report.  The  statements  were  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting 
principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America  and  fairly  represent  the  transactions  and  financial 
position of the company. The financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and 
judgments.

As stated in its report included herein, the independent registered public accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers 
LLP  has  audited  the  company’s  consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public 
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Board of Directors of Chevron has an Audit Committee composed of directors who are not officers or employees 
of the company. The Audit Committee meets regularly with members of management, the internal auditors and the 
independent registered public accounting firm to review accounting, internal control, auditing and financial reporting 
matters. Both the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm have free and direct access to 
the Audit Committee without the presence of management.

The company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer, the effectiveness of the company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 
13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e))  as  of  December  31,  2022.  Based  on  that  evaluation,  management  concluded  that  the 
company’s  disclosure  controls  are  effective  in  ensuring  that  information  required  to  be  recorded,  processed, 
summarized  and  reported  are  done  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial 
reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The company’s management, including the 
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the 
Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  Based  on  the  results  of  this 
evaluation,  the  company’s  management  concluded  that  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  effective  as  of 
December 31, 2022.

The  effectiveness  of  the  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022,  has  been 
audited  by  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP,  an  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm,  as  stated  in  its  report 
included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Chevron Corporation

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  Chevron  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  (the 
“Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive 
income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, including the 
related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to 
as  the  “consolidated  financial  statements”).  We  also  have  audited  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  (2013) 
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  referred  to  above  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the 
financial  position  of  the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  and  the  results  of  its  operations  and  its  cash 
flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2022  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles 
generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.  Also  in  our  opinion,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material 
respects,  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in 
Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions
The  Company's  management  is  responsible  for  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  for  maintaining  effective 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  and  for  its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting,  included  in  the  accompanying  Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting.  Our 
responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  based  on  our  audits.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  Public 
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the 
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities 
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and 
perform  the  audits  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial  statements  are  free  of 
material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was 
maintained in all material respects.

Our  audits  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material 
misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that 
respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and 
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used 
and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the  consolidated 
financial  statements.  Our  audit  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  included  obtaining  an  understanding  of 
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating 
the  design  and  operating  effectiveness  of  internal  control  based  on  the  assessed  risk.  Our  audits  also  included 
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide 
a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies 
and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the 
transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the  company;  (ii)  provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are 
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of 
management  and  directors  of  the  company;  and  (iii)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely 
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on 
the financial statements.

58
Chevron Corporation 2022 Annual Report

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the  policies  or  procedures  may 
deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The  critical  audit  matter  communicated  below  is  a  matter  arising  from  the  current  period  audit  of  the  consolidated 
financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates 
to  accounts  or  disclosures  that  are  material  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  (ii)  involved  our  especially 
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way 
our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical 
audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it 
relates. 

The Impact of Proved Crude Oil and Natural Gas Reserves on Upstream Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net 

As described in Notes 1 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s upstream property, plant and 
equipment,  net  balance  was  $125.6  billion  as  of  December  31,  2022,  and  depreciation,  depletion  and  amortization 
expense was $14.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company follows the successful efforts method 
of  accounting  for  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  exploration  and  production  activities.  Depreciation  and  depletion  of  all 
capitalized costs of proved crude oil and natural gas producing properties, except mineral interests, are expensed using 
the unit-of-production method, generally by individual field, as the proved developed reserves are produced. Depletion 
expenses  for  capitalized  costs  of  proved  mineral  interests  are  recognized  using  the  unit-of-production  method  by 
individual  field  as  the  related  proved  reserves  are  produced.  As  disclosed  by  management,  variables  impacting  the 
Company’s  estimated  volumes  of  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  reserves  include  field  performance,  available  technology, 
commodity  prices,  and  development,  production  and  carbon  costs.  Reserves  are  estimated  by  Company  asset  teams 
composed  of  earth  scientists  and  engineers.  As  part  of  the  internal  control  process  related  to  reserves  estimation,  the 
Company maintains a Reserves Advisory Committee (RAC) (the Company’s earth scientists, engineers and RAC are 
collectively referred to as “management’s specialists”). 

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impact of proved crude 
oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserves on upstream property, plant, and equipment, net is a critical audit matter 
are (i) the significant judgment by management, including the use of management’s specialists, when developing the 
estimates of proved crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserve volumes, which in turn led to (ii) a high degree 
of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence obtained related to 
the data, methods and assumptions used by management and its specialists in developing the estimates of proved crude 
oil and natural gas reserve volumes. 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our 
overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls 
relating to management’s estimates of proved crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserve volumes. The work 
of management’s specialists was used in performing the procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the proved crude 
oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas reserve volumes. As a basis for using this work, the specialists’ qualifications 
were  understood  and  the  Company’s  relationship  with  the  specialists  was  assessed.  The  procedures  performed  also 
included evaluation of the methods and assumptions used by the specialists, tests of the data used by the specialists and 
an evaluation of the specialists’ findings.

Note 1 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General  The  company’s  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles 
generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  of  America.  These  require  the  use  of  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses  reported  in  the  financial  statements,  as  well  as  amounts  included  in  the  notes 
thereto,  including  discussion  and  disclosure  of  contingent  liabilities.  Although  the  company  uses  its  best  estimates  and 
judgments,  actual  results  could  differ  from  these  estimates  as  circumstances  change  and  additional  information  becomes 
known.  Prior years’ data have been reclassified in certain cases to conform to the 2022 presentation basis. 

Subsidiary and Affiliated Companies The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of controlled subsidiary 
companies more than 50 percent-owned and any variable interest entities in which the company is the primary beneficiary. 
Undivided  interests  in  oil  and  gas  joint  ventures  and  certain  other  assets  are  consolidated  on  a  proportionate  basis. 
Investments  in  and  advances  to  affiliates  in  which  the  company  has  a  substantial  ownership  interest  of  approximately 
20 percent to 50 percent, or for which the company exercises significant influence but not control over policy decisions, are 
accounted for by the equity method. 

Investments  in  affiliates  are  assessed  for  possible  impairment  when  events  indicate  that  the  fair  value  of  the  investment 
may be below the company’s carrying value. When such a condition is deemed to be other than temporary, the carrying 
value of the investment is written down to its fair value, and the amount of the write-down is included in net income. In 
making  the  determination  as  to  whether  a  decline  is  other  than  temporary,  the  company  considers  such  factors  as  the 
duration and extent of the decline, the investee’s financial performance, and the company’s ability and intention to retain its 
investment for a period that will be sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the investment’s market value. The 
new cost basis of investments in these equity investees is not changed for subsequent recoveries in fair value. 

Differences between the company’s carrying value of an equity investment and its underlying equity in the net assets of the 
affiliate  are  assigned  to  the  extent  practicable  to  specific  assets  and  liabilities  based  on  the  company’s  analysis  of  the 
various factors giving rise to the difference. When appropriate, the company’s share of the affiliate’s reported earnings is 
adjusted quarterly to reflect the difference between these allocated values and the affiliate’s historical book values. 

Noncontrolling  Interests  Ownership  interests  in  the  company’s  subsidiaries  held  by  parties  other  than  the  parent  are 
presented separately from the parent’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The amount of consolidated net income 
attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interests are both presented on the face of the Consolidated Statement of 
Income  and  Consolidated  Statement  of  Equity.  Included  within  noncontrolling  interest  is  redeemable  noncontrolling 
interest.

Fair Value Measurements The three levels of the fair value hierarchy of inputs the company uses to measure the fair value 
of an asset or a liability are as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the 
asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.

Derivatives  The  majority  of  the  company’s  activity  in  derivative  commodity  instruments  is  intended  to  manage  the 
financial risk posed by physical transactions. For some of this derivative activity, the company may elect to apply fair value 
or  cash  flow  hedge  accounting  with  changes  in  fair  value  recorded  as  components  of  accumulated  other  comprehensive 
income (loss). For other similar derivative instruments, generally because of the short-term nature of the contracts or their 
limited use, the company does not apply hedge accounting, and changes in the fair value of those contracts are reflected in 
current income. For the company’s commodity trading activity, gains and losses from derivative instruments are reported 
in  current  income.  The  company  may  enter  into  interest  rate  swaps  from  time  to  time  as  part  of  its  overall  strategy  to 
manage the interest rate risk on its debt. Interest rate swaps related to a portion of the company’s fixed-rate debt, if any, 
may be accounted for as fair value hedges. Interest rate swaps related to floating-rate debt, if any, are recorded at fair value 
on  the  balance  sheet  with  resulting  gains  and  losses  reflected  in  income.  Where  Chevron  is  a  party  to  master  netting 
arrangements,  fair  value  receivable  and  payable  amounts  recognized  for  derivative  instruments  executed  with  the  same 
counterparty are generally offset on the balance sheet. 

Inventories Crude oil, products and chemicals inventories are generally stated at cost, using a last-in, first-out method. In 
the aggregate, these costs are below market. “Materials, supplies and other” inventories are primarily stated at cost or net 
realizable value.

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

Properties,  Plant  and  Equipment  The  successful  efforts  method  is  used  for  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  exploration  and 
production activities. All costs for development wells, related plant and equipment, proved mineral interests in crude oil 
and natural gas properties, and related asset retirement obligation (ARO) assets are capitalized. Costs of exploratory wells 
are capitalized pending determination of whether the wells found proved reserves. Costs of wells that are assigned proved 
reserves  remain  capitalized.  Costs  also  are  capitalized  for  exploratory  wells  that  have  found  crude  oil  and  natural  gas 
reserves even if the reserves cannot be classified as proved when the drilling is completed, provided the exploratory well 
has  found  a  sufficient  quantity  of  reserves  to  justify  its  completion  as  a  producing  well  and  the  company  is  making 
sufficient  progress  assessing  the  reserves  and  the  economic  and  operating  viability  of  the  project.  All  other 
exploratory  wells  and  costs  are  expensed.  Refer  to  Note  21  Accounting  for  Suspended  Exploratory  Wells  for  additional 
discussion of accounting for suspended exploratory well costs. 

Long-lived  assets  to  be  held  and  used,  including  proved  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  properties,  are  assessed  for 
possible  impairment  by  comparing  their  carrying  values  with  their  associated  undiscounted,  future  net  cash  flows. 
Events  that  can  trigger  assessments  for  possible  impairments  include  write-downs  of  proved  reserves  based  on 
field  performance, significant decreases in the market value of an asset (including changes to the commodity price forecast 
or carbon costs), significant change in the extent or manner of use of or a physical change in an asset, and a more likely 
than not expectation that  a  long-lived  asset  or  asset  group  will  be  sold  or  otherwise  disposed  of  significantly  sooner 
than  the  end  of  its  previously  estimated  useful  life.  Impaired  assets  are  written  down  to  their  estimated  fair  values, 
generally  their  discounted,  future  net  cash  flows.  For  proved  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  properties,  the  company 
performs  impairment  reviews  on  a  country,  concession,  PSC,  development  area  or  field  basis,  as  appropriate.  In 
downstream,  impairment  reviews  are  performed  on  the  basis  of  a  refinery,  a  plant,  a  marketing/lubricants  area  or 
distribution  area,  as  appropriate.  Impairment  amounts  are  recorded  as  incremental  “Depreciation,  depletion  and 
amortization” expense. 

Long-lived assets that are held for sale are evaluated for possible impairment by comparing the carrying value of the asset 
with its fair value less the cost to sell. If the net book value exceeds the fair value less cost to sell, the asset is considered 
impaired  and  adjusted  to  the  lower  value.  Refer  to  Note  9  Fair  Value  Measurements  relating  to  fair  value 
measurements.  The  fair  value  of  a  liability  for  an  ARO  is  recorded  as  an  asset  and  a  liability  when  there  is  a  legal 
obligation  associated with  the  retirement  of  a  long-lived  asset  and  the  amount  can  be  reasonably  estimated.  Refer 
also  to  Note  25  Asset Retirement Obligations relating to AROs. 

Depreciation and depletion of all capitalized costs of proved crude oil and natural gas producing properties, except mineral 
interests, are expensed using the unit-of-production method, generally by individual field, as the proved developed reserves 
are  produced.  Depletion  expenses  for  capitalized  costs  of  proved  mineral  interests  are  recognized  using  the  unit-
of-production  method  by  individual  field  as  the  related  proved  reserves  are  produced.  Impairments  of  capitalized  costs 
of unproved mineral interests are expensed. 

The  capitalized  costs  of  all  other  plant  and  equipment  are  depreciated  or  amortized  over  their  estimated  useful  lives. In 
general,  the  declining-balance  method  is  used  to  depreciate  plant  and  equipment  in  the  United  States;  the  straight-line 
method is generally  used to  depreciate international plant and equipment and to amortize finance lease right-of-use assets. 

Gains  or  losses  are  not  recognized  for  normal  retirements  of  properties,  plant  and  equipment  subject  to  composite 
group amortization or depreciation. Gains or losses from abnormal retirements are recorded as expenses, and from sales as 
“Other income.” 

Expenditures  for  maintenance  (including  those  for  planned  major  maintenance  projects),  repairs  and  minor  renewals 
to maintain  facilities  in  operating  condition  are  generally  expensed  as  incurred.  Major  replacements  and  renewals 
are capitalized.

Leases Leases are classified as operating or finance leases. Both operating and finance leases recognize lease liabilities and 
associated right-of-use assets. The company has elected the short-term lease exception and therefore only recognizes right-
of-use  assets  and  lease  liabilities  for  leases  with  a  term  greater  than  one  year.  The  company  has  elected  the 
practical  expedient  to  not  separate  non-lease  components  from  lease  components  for  most  asset  classes  except  for 
certain  asset classes that have significant non-lease (i.e., service) components.

Where  leases  are  used  in  joint  ventures,  the  company  recognizes  100  percent  of  the  right-of-use  assets  and  lease  liabilities 
when  the  company  is  the  sole  signatory  for  the  lease  (in  most  cases,  where  the  company  is  the  operator  of  a  joint  venture). 
Lease  costs  reflect  only  the  costs  associated  with  the  operator’s  working  interest  share.  The  lease  term  includes  the 
committed  lease  term  identified  in  the  contract,  taking  into  account  renewal  and  termination  options  that management is

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

reasonably certain to exercise. The company uses its incremental borrowing rate as a proxy for the discount rate based on 
the term of the lease unless the implicit rate is available.

Goodwill Goodwill resulting from a business combination is not subject to amortization. The company tests such goodwill 
at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at December 31, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances 
change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. 

Environmental Expenditures Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing operations or to conditions caused by past 
operations are expensed. Expenditures that create future benefits or contribute to future revenue generation are capitalized. 

Liabilities  related  to  future  remediation  costs  are  recorded  when  environmental  assessments  or  cleanups  or  both  are 
probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For crude oil, natural gas and mineral-producing properties, a liability 
for an ARO is made in accordance with accounting standards for asset retirement and environmental obligations. Refer to 
Note 25 Asset Retirement Obligations for a discussion of the company’s AROs.

For  U.S.  federal  Superfund  sites  and  analogous  sites  under  state  laws,  the  company  records  a  liability  for  its  designated 
share of the probable and estimable costs, and probable amounts for other potentially responsible parties when mandated 
by  the  regulatory  agencies  because  the  other  parties  are  not  able  to  pay  their  respective  shares.  The  gross  amount  of 
environmental liabilities is based on the company’s best estimate of future costs using currently available technology and 
applying current regulations and the company’s own internal environmental policies. Future amounts are not discounted. 
Recoveries or reimbursements are recorded as assets when receipt is reasonably assured. 

Currency  Translation  The  U.S.  dollar  is  the  functional  currency  for  substantially  all  of  the  company’s  consolidated 
operations  and  those  of  its  equity  affiliates.  For  those  operations,  all  gains  and  losses  from  currency  remeasurement  are 
included  in  current  period  income.  The  cumulative  translation  effects  for  those  few  entities,  both  consolidated  and 
affiliated, using functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are included in “Currency translation adjustment” on the 
Consolidated Statement of Equity. 

Revenue  Recognition  The  company  accounts  for  each  delivery  order  of  crude  oil,  natural  gas,  petroleum  and  chemical 
products as a separate performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied, which 
typically occurs at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer. Payment is generally due within 
30  days  of  delivery.  The  company  accounts  for  delivery  transportation  as  a  fulfillment  cost,  not  a  separate  performance 
obligation,  and  recognizes  these  costs  as  an  operating  expense  in  the  period  when  revenue  for  the  related  commodity  is 
recognized. 

Revenue  is  measured  as  the  amount  the  company  expects  to  receive  in  exchange  for  transferring  commodities  to  the 
customer.  The  company’s  commodity  sales  are  typically  based  on  prevailing  market-based  prices  and  may  include 
discounts and allowances. Until market prices become known under terms of the company’s contracts, the transaction price 
included in revenue is based on the company’s estimate of the most likely outcome. 

Discounts and allowances are estimated using a combination of historical and recent data trends. When deliveries contain 
multiple  products,  an  observable  standalone  selling  price  is  generally  used  to  measure  revenue  for  each  product.  The 
company includes estimates in the transaction price only to the extent that a significant reversal of revenue is not probable 
in subsequent periods. 

Stock  Options  and  Other  Share-Based  Compensation  The  company  issues  stock  options  and  other  share-based 
compensation to certain employees. For equity awards, such as stock options, total compensation cost is based on the grant 
date fair value, and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement 
value. The company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn 
the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period in which an employee becomes eligible to retain the 
award at retirement. The company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) awards include stock options and stock appreciation 
rights, which have graded vesting provisions by which one-third of each award vests on each of the first, second and third 
anniversaries of the date of grant. In addition, performance shares granted under the company’s LTIP will vest at the end of 
the  three-year  performance  period.  For  awards  granted  under  the  company’s  LTIP  beginning  in  2017,  stock  options  and 
stock appreciation rights have graded vesting by which one third of each award vests annually on each January 31 on or 
after the first anniversary of the grant date. Special restricted stock unit awards have cliff vesting by which the total award 
will vest on January 31 on or after the third anniversary of the grant date. Standard restricted stock unit awards have cliff 
vesting  by  which  the  total  award  will  vest  on  January  31  on  or  after  the  fifth  anniversary  of  the  grant  date,  subject  to 
adjustment upon termination pursuant to the satisfaction of certain criteria. Commencing for grants issued in January 2023

and after, standard restricted stock units vest ratably on an annual basis over a three-year period. The company amortizes 
these awards on a straight-line basis.

The “Other” line in the Operating Activities section includes changes in postretirement benefits obligations and other long-
term liabilities. 

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows excludes changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet that did not affect cash. 
“Depreciation, depletion and amortization,” “Deferred income tax provision,” and “Dry hole expense,” collectively include 
approximately $1.1 billion in non-cash reductions to properties, plant and equipment in 2022 relating to impairments and 
other non-cash charges. The company did not have any material impairments in 2021.

Refer also to Note 25 Asset Retirement Obligations for a discussion of revisions to the company’s AROs that also did 
not involve cash receipts or payments for the three years ending December 31, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements 
The  tables  below  show  the  fair  value  hierarchy  for  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  and 
nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

Marketable Securities The company calculates fair value for its marketable securities based on quoted market prices for 
identical assets. The fair values reflect the cash that would have been received if the instruments were sold at December 31, 
2022. 

Derivatives The company records most of its derivative instruments – other than any commodity derivative contracts that 
are accounted for as normal purchase and normal sale – on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value, with the offsetting

amount  to  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Income.  The  company  designates  certain  derivative  instruments  as  cash  flow 
hedges  that,  if  applicable,  are  reflected  in  the  table  below.  Derivatives  classified  as  Level  1  include  futures,  swaps  and 
options contracts valued using quoted prices from active markets such as the New York Mercantile Exchange. Derivatives 
classified as Level 2 include swaps, options and forward contracts, the fair values of which are obtained from third-party 
broker quotes, industry pricing services and exchanges. The company obtains multiple sources of pricing information for 
the Level 2 instruments. Since this pricing information is generated from observable market data, it has historically been 
very consistent. The company does not materially adjust this information. 

Properties, Plant and Equipment  The company did not have any individually material impairments of long-lived assets 
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis to report in 2022 or 2021.

Investments and Advances The company did not have any material impairments of investments and advances measured at 
fair value on a nonrecurring basis to report in 2022 or 2021.

At year-end 2022, the company had assets measured at fair value Level 3 using unobservable inputs of $85. The carrying 
value of these assets were written down to fair value based on estimates derived from internal discounted cash flow models. 
Cash flows were determined using estimates of future production, an outlook of future price based on published prices and 
a discount rate believed to be consistent with those used by principal market participants.

Assets and Liabilities Not Required to Be Measured at Fair Value The company holds cash equivalents in U.S. and non-
U.S. portfolios. The instruments classified as cash equivalents are primarily bank time deposits with maturities of 90 days 
or  less  and  money  market  funds.  “Cash  and  cash  equivalents”  had  carrying/fair  values  of  $17,678  and  $5,640  at 
December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents are classified as 
Level 1 and reflect the cash that would have been received if the instruments were settled at December 31, 2022. 

“Cash and cash equivalents” do not include investments with a carrying/fair value of $1,443 and $1,155 at December 31, 
2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. At December 31, 2022, these investments are classified as Level 1 and include 
restricted funds related to certain upstream decommissioning activities, tax payments and a financing program. 

Long-term debt, excluding finance lease liabilities, of $16,258 and $22,164 at December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, 
respectively, had estimated fair values of $14,959 and $23,670, respectively. Long-term debt primarily includes corporate 
issued bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is $14,571 and classified as Level 1. The fair value of other long-term debt 
classified as Level 2 is $388.

The carrying values of other short-term financial assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate their 
fair values. Fair value remeasurements of other financial instruments at December 31, 2022 and 2021, were not material.

Note 10 
Financial and Derivative Instruments
Derivative  Commodity  Instruments  The  company’s  derivative  commodity  instruments  principally  include  crude  oil, 
natural gas, liquefied natural gas and refined product futures, swaps, options, and forward contracts. The company applies 
cash  flow  hedge  accounting  to  certain  commodity  transactions,  where  appropriate,  to  manage  the  market  price  risk 
associated  with  forecasted  sales  of  crude  oil.  The  company’s  derivatives  are  not  material  to  the  company’s  financial 
position, results of operations or liquidity. The company believes it has no material market or credit risks to its operations, 
financial position or liquidity as a result of its commodity derivative activities.

The  company  uses  derivative  commodity  instruments  traded  on  the  New  York  Mercantile  Exchange  and  on  electronic 
platforms of the Inter-Continental Exchange and Chicago Mercantile Exchange. In addition, the company enters into swap 
contracts and option contracts principally with major financial institutions and other oil and gas companies in the “over-
the-counter” markets, which are governed by International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements and other master 
netting arrangements. Depending on the nature of the derivative transactions, bilateral collateral arrangements may also be 
required.

The amount reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive losses” (AOCL) to “Sales and other operating revenues” 
from designated hedges was $80 in 2022, compared with an immaterial amount in the prior year. At December 31, 2022, 
before-tax  deferred  losses  in  AOCL  related  to  outstanding  crude  oil  price  hedging  contracts  were  $15,  all  of  which  is 
expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged crude oil sales are recognized in earnings.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

Derivative  assets  and  liabilities  are  classified  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  as  “Accounts  and  notes  receivable”, 
“Long-term receivables”, “Accounts payable”, and “Deferred credits and other noncurrent obligations”. Amounts not offset 
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet represent positions that do not meet all the conditions for “a right of offset.”

Concentrations  of  Credit  Risk  The  company’s  financial  instruments  that  are  exposed  to  concentrations  of  credit  risk 
consist primarily of its cash equivalents, marketable securities, derivative financial instruments and trade receivables. The 
company’s short-term investments are placed with a wide array of financial institutions with high credit ratings. Company 
investment policies limit the company’s exposure both to credit risk and to concentrations of credit risk. Similar policies on 
diversification and creditworthiness are applied to the company’s counterparties in derivative instruments. For a discussion 
of credit risk on trade receivables, see Note 28 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. 

Note 11 
Assets Held for Sale
At December 31, 2022, the company classified $436 of net properties, plant and equipment as “Assets held for sale” on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet. These assets are associated with upstream operations that are anticipated to be sold in the next 
12 months. The revenues and earnings contributions of these assets in 2022 were not material.

Note 12 
Equity
Retained earnings at December 31, 2022 and 2021, included $33,570 and $28,876, respectively, for the company’s share of 
undistributed earnings of equity affiliates. 

At December 31, 2022, about 104 million shares of Chevron’s common stock remained available for issuance from the 104 
million  shares  that  were  reserved  for  issuance  under  the  2022  Chevron  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan.  In  addition,  597,152 
shares  remain  available  for  issuance  from  the  1,600,000  shares  of  the  company’s  common  stock  that  were  reserved  for 
awards under the Chevron Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Compensation and Deferral Plan. 

Note 13
Earnings Per Share
Basic  earnings  per  share  (EPS)  is  based  upon  “Net  Income  (Loss)  Attributable  to  Chevron  Corporation”  (“earnings”) 
and includes the effects of deferrals of salary and other compensation awards that are invested in Chevron stock units by 
certain officers  and  employees  of  the  company.  Diluted  EPS  includes  the  effects  of  these  items  as  well  as  the  dilutive 
effects of outstanding stock options awarded under the company’s stock option programs (refer to Note 22 Stock Options 
and Other Share-Based Compensation). The table below sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS:

Note 14
Operating Segments and Geographic Data
Although each subsidiary of Chevron is responsible for its own affairs, Chevron Corporation manages its investments in 
these subsidiaries and their affiliates. The investments are grouped into two business segments, Upstream and Downstream, 
representing  the  company’s  “reportable  segments”  and  “operating  segments.”  Upstream  operations  consist  primarily  of 
exploring  for,  developing,  producing  and  transporting  crude  oil  and  natural  gas;  liquefaction,  transportation  and 
regasification  associated  with  liquefied  natural  gas  (LNG);  transporting  crude  oil  by  major  international  oil  export 
pipelines; processing, transporting, storage and marketing of natural gas; and a gas-to-liquids plant. Downstream operations 
consist primarily of refining of crude oil into petroleum products; marketing of crude oil, refined products, and lubricants; 
manufacturing and marketing of renewable fuels; transporting of crude oil and refined products by pipeline, marine vessel, 
motor equipment and rail car; and manufacturing and marketing of commodity petrochemicals, plastics for industrial uses, 
and  fuel  and  lubricant  additives.  All  Other  activities  of  the  company  include  worldwide  cash  management  and  debt 
financing  activities,  corporate  administrative  functions,  insurance  operations,  real  estate  activities,  and  technology 
activities. 

The  company’s  segments  are  managed  by  “segment  managers”  who  report  to  the  “chief  operating  decision 
maker” (CODM). The segments represent components of the company that engage in activities (a) from which revenues 
are  earned  and  expenses  are  incurred;  (b)  whose  operating  results  are  regularly  reviewed  by  the  CODM,  which  makes 
decisions  about  resources  to  be  allocated  to  the  segments  and  assesses  their  performance;  and  (c)  for  which  discrete 
financial information is available.

The company’s primary country of operation is the United States of America, its country of domicile. Other components of 
the company’s operations are reported as “International” (outside the United States). 

Segment  Earnings  The  company  evaluates  the  performance  of  its  operating  segments  on  an  after-tax  basis,  without 
considering the effects of debt financing interest expense or investment interest income, both of which are managed by the 
company  on  a  worldwide  basis.  Corporate  administrative  costs  are  not  allocated  to  the  operating  segments.  However, 
operating segments are billed for the direct use of corporate services. Non-billable costs remain at the corporate level in 
“All Other.” Earnings by major operating area are presented in the following table:

Segment Sales and Other Operating Revenues Operating segment sales and other operating revenues, including internal 
transfers, for the years 2022, 2021 and 2020, are presented in the table on the next page. Products are transferred between 
operating segments at internal product values that approximate market prices. 

Revenues for the upstream segment are derived primarily from the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas, as well 
as the sale of third-party production of natural gas. Revenues for the downstream segment are derived from the refining and 
marketing of petroleum products such as gasoline, jet fuel, gas oils, lubricants, residual fuel oils and other products derived 
from crude oil. This segment also generates revenues from the manufacture and sale of fuel and lubricant additives and the 
transportation  and  trading  of  refined  products  and  crude  oil.  “All  Other”  activities  include  revenues  from  insurance 
operations, real estate activities and technology companies.

Descriptions  of  major  equity  affiliates  and  non-equity  investments,  including  significant  differences  between  the 
company’s carrying value of its investments and its underlying equity in the net assets of the affiliates, are as follows: 

Tengizchevroil Chevron has a 50 percent equity ownership interest in Tengizchevroil (TCO), which operates the Tengiz 
and Korolev crude oil fields in Kazakhstan. At December 31, 2022, the company’s carrying value of its investment in TCO 
was  about  $90  higher  than  the  amount  of  underlying  equity  in  TCO’s  net  assets.  This  difference  results  from  Chevron 
acquiring a portion of its interest in TCO at a value greater than the underlying book value for that portion of TCO’s net 
assets. Included in the investment is a loan to TCO to fund the development of the FGP/WPMP with a principal balance of 
$4,500. 

Petropiar  Chevron  has  a  30  percent  interest  in  Petropiar,  a  joint  stock  company  which  operates  the  heavy  oil  Huyapari 
Field  and  upgrading  project  in  Venezuela’s  Orinoco  Belt.  In  2020,  the  company  fully  impaired  its  investments  in  the 
Petropiar affiliate and, effective July 1, 2020, began accounting for this venture as a non-equity method investment.

Petroboscan Chevron has a 39.2 percent interest in Petroboscan, a joint stock company which operates the Boscan Field in 
Venezuela.  In  2020,  the  company  fully  impaired  its  investments  in  the  Petroboscan  affiliate  and,  effective  July  1,  2020, 
began accounting for this venture as a non-equity method investment. The company also has an outstanding long-term loan 
to Petroboscan of $560, which remains fully provisioned for at year-end 2022.

Caspian Pipeline Consortium Chevron has a 15 percent interest in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which provides the 
critical export route for crude oil from both TCO and Karachaganak.

Angola LNG Limited Chevron has a 36.4 percent interest in Angola LNG Limited, which processes and liquefies natural 
gas produced in Angola for delivery to international markets. 

Chevron  Phillips  Chemical  Company  LLC  Chevron  owns  50  percent  of  Chevron  Phillips  Chemical  Company  LLC. 
Included  in  the  investment  balance  is  a  loan  with  a  principal  balance  of  $59  to  fund  a  portion  of  the  Golden  Triangle 
Polymers Project in Orange, Texas, in which Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC owns 51 percent.

Note 16 
Litigation
Ecuador

In 2003, Chevron was sued in Ecuador for environmental harm allegedly caused by an oil consortium formerly operated by 
a Texaco subsidiary. The subsidiary previously had been released from environmental claims by Ecuador after it completed 
a three-year remediation program, which Ecuador certified. Nonetheless, in February 2011, the Ecuadorian trial court 
entered judgment against Chevron for approximately $9.5 billion, plus punitive damages. An appellate panel affirmed, and 
Ecuador’s National Court of Justice ratified the judgment but nullified the punitive damages. Ecuador’s highest 
Constitutional Court rejected Chevron’s final appeal in July 2018.

In 2011, Chevron sued the Ecuadorian plaintiffs and several of their lawyers and cohorts in the U.S. District Court for the 
Southern District of New York (SDNY) for violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act 
and state law. The SDNY ruled that the Ecuadorian judgment had been procured through fraud, bribery, and corruption, 
and prohibited the defendants from seeking to enforce the judgment in the United States or profiting from their illegal acts. 
The Second Circuit affirmed, and the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in 2017. The Ecuadorian plaintiffs sought to 
have  the  Ecuadorian  judgment  recognized  and  enforced  in  Canada,  Brazil,  and  Argentina,  but  all  of  those  actions  were 
dismissed in Chevron’s favor. 

In 2009, Chevron filed an arbitration claim against Ecuador before an arbitral tribunal administered by the Permanent Court 
of Arbitration in The Hague, under the United States-Ecuador Bilateral Investment Treaty. In 2018, the Tribunal ruled that 
the Ecuadorian judgment was procured through fraud, bribery, and corruption, and was based on environmental claims that 
Ecuador  had  already  settled  and  released.  According  to  the  Tribunal,  the  Ecuadorian  judgment  “violates  international 
public policy” and “should not be recognized or enforced by the courts of other States.” The Tribunal ordered Ecuador to 
remove the judgment’s status of enforceability and to compensate Chevron for its injuries. The arbitration’s final phases, to 
determine the amount of compensation owed to Chevron and to allocate the arbitration’s costs, remain pending. In 2020, 
the  District  Court  of  The  Hague  denied  Ecuador’s  request  to  set  aside  the  Tribunal’s  award.  Based  on  Ecuador’s 
admissions during the litigation, the Court stated that it now is “common ground” between Ecuador and Chevron that the 
Ecuadorian judgment is fraudulent. In June 2022, The Hague Court of Appeals dismissed Ecuador’s appeal. In September

2022, Ecuador appealed to the Dutch Supreme Court. In a separate proceeding before the Office of the United States Trade 
Representative, Ecuador also admitted in July 2020 that the Ecuadorian judgment is fraudulent. 

Management  continues  to  believe  that  the  Ecuadorian  judgment  is  illegitimate  and  unenforceable  and  will  vigorously 
defend against any further attempts to have it recognized or enforced.

Climate Change

Governmental and other entities in various jurisdictions across the United States have filed legal proceedings against fossil 
fuel  producing  companies,  including  Chevron  entities,  purporting  to  seek  legal  and  equitable  relief  to  address  alleged 
impacts of climate change. Chevron entities are or were among the codefendants in 23 separate lawsuits brought by 17 U.S. 
cities and counties, three U.S. states, the District of Columbia, a group of municipalities in Puerto Rico and a trade group. 
One  of  the  city  lawsuits  was  dismissed  on  the  merits,  and  one  of  the  county  lawsuits  was  voluntarily  dismissed  by  the 
plaintiff. The lawsuits assert various causes of action, including public nuisance, private nuisance, failure to warn, fraud, 
conspiracy to commit fraud, design defect, product defect, trespass, negligence, impairment of public trust, violations of 
consumer protection statutes, violations of a federal antitrust statute, and violations of the RICO Act, based upon, among 
other  things,  the  company’s  production  of  oil  and  gas  products  and  alleged  misrepresentations  or  omissions  relating  to 
climate change risks associated with those products. The unprecedented legal theories set forth in these proceedings entail 
the  possibility  of  damages  liability  (both  compensatory  and  punitive),  injunctive  and  other  forms  of  equitable  relief, 
including without limitation abatement and disgorgement of profits, civil penalties and liability for fees and costs of suits, 
that, while we believe remote, could have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations and financial 
condition. Further such proceedings are likely to be filed by other parties. Management believes that these proceedings are 
legally  and  factually  meritless  and  detract  from  constructive  efforts  to  address  the  important  policy  issues  presented  by 
climate change, and will vigorously defend against such proceedings.

Louisiana

Seven coastal parishes and the State of Louisiana have filed lawsuits in Louisiana against numerous oil and gas companies 
seeking damages for coastal erosion in or near oil fields located within Louisiana’s coastal zone under Louisiana’s State 
and  Local  Coastal  Resources  Management  Act  (SLCRMA).  Chevron  entities  are  defendants  in  39  of  these  cases.  The 
lawsuits  allege  that  the  defendants’  historical  operations  were  conducted  without  necessary  permits  or  failed  to  comply 
with  permits  obtained  and  seek  damages  and  other  relief,  including  the  costs  of  restoring  coastal  wetlands  allegedly 
impacted  by  oil  field  operations.  Plaintiffs’  SLCRMA  theories  are  unprecedented;  thus,  there  remains  significant 
uncertainty  about  the  scope  of  the  claims  and  alleged  damages  and  any  potential  effects  on  the  company’s  results  of 
operations and financial condition. Management believes that the claims lack legal and factual merit and will continue to 
vigorously defend against such proceedings.

Effective income tax rate 3
1  Includes one-time tax costs (benefits) associated with changes in uncertain tax positions.
2 Includes one-time tax costs (benefits) associated with changes in valuation allowances (2022 - $(36); 2021 - $(624); 2020 - $0).
3 The company’s effective tax rate is reflective of equity income reported on an after-tax basis as part of the “Total Income (Loss) Before Income Tax Expense,” in accordance 

 28.3 %

 27.5 %

 25.4 %

with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Chevron’s share of its equity affiliates’ total income tax expense in 2022 was $2,281.

The 2022 increase in income tax expense of $8,116 is a result of the year-over-year increase in total income before income 
tax expense, which is primarily due to higher upstream realizations and downstream margins. The company’s effective tax 
rate  changed  from  27.5  percent  in  2021  to  28.3  percent  in  2022.  The  change  in  effective  tax  rate  is  mainly  due  to  mix 
effects  resulting  from  the  absolute  level  of  earnings  or  losses  and  whether  they  arose  in  higher  or  lower  tax  rate 
jurisdictions. 

The company records its deferred taxes on a tax-jurisdiction basis. The reported deferred tax balances are composed of the 
following: 

Deferred tax liabilities

Properties, plant and equipment
Investments and other

Total deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax assets

Foreign tax credits

Deferred tax liabilities increased by $1,513 from year-end 2021, primarily driven by an increase to properties, plant and 
equipment. Deferred tax assets decreased by $226 from year-end 2021. This decrease was primarily related to decreases in 
employee benefits and tax loss carryforwards for various locations, partially offset by the increase in foreign tax credits.

The  overall  valuation  allowance  relates  to  deferred  tax  assets  for  U.S.  foreign  tax  credit  carryforwards,  tax  loss 
carryforwards and temporary differences. The valuation allowance reduces the deferred tax assets to amounts that are, in 
management’s  assessment,  more  likely  than  not  to  be  realized.  At  the  end  of  2022,  the  company  had  gross  tax  loss 
carryforwards  of  approximately  $9,850  and  tax  credit  carryforwards  of  approximately  $440,  primarily  related  to  various 
international tax jurisdictions. Whereas some of these tax loss carryforwards do not have an expiration date, others expire 
at various times from 2023 through 2041. U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $12,599 will expire between 2023 and 
2033.

Income taxes, including U.S. state and foreign withholding taxes, are not accrued for unremitted earnings of international 
operations that have been or are intended to be reinvested indefinitely. The indefinite reinvestment assertion continues to 
apply for the purpose of determining deferred tax liabilities for U.S. state and foreign withholding tax purposes.

Undistributed earnings of international consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates for which no deferred income tax provision 
has  been  made  for  possible  future  remittances  totaled  approximately  $51,300  at  December  31,  2022.  This  amount 
represents earnings reinvested as part of the company’s ongoing international business. It is not practicable to estimate the 
amount  of  state  and  foreign  withholding  taxes  that  might  be  payable  on  the  possible  remittance  of  earnings  that  are 
intended  to  be  reinvested  indefinitely.  The  company  does  not  anticipate  incurring  significant  additional  taxes  on 
remittances of earnings that are not indefinitely reinvested.

Uncertain  Income  Tax  Positions  The  company  recognizes  a  tax  benefit  in  the  financial  statements  for  an  uncertain  tax 
position  only  if  management’s  assessment  is  that  the  position  is  more  likely  than  not  (i.e.,  a  likelihood  greater  than  50 
percent) to be allowed by the tax jurisdiction based solely on the technical merits of the position. The term “tax position” in 
the accounting standards for income taxes refers to a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be 
taken in a future tax return that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or 
annual periods. 

The following table indicates the changes to the company’s unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 
2022,  2021  and  2020.  The  term  “unrecognized  tax  benefits”  in  the  accounting  standards  for  income  taxes  refers  to  the 
differences between a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and the benefit measured and recognized in 
the financial statements. Interest and penalties are not included.

Approximately 80 percent of the $5,323 of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2022, would have an impact on the 
effective  tax  rate  if  subsequently  recognized.  Certain  of  these  unrecognized  tax  benefits  relate  to  tax  carryforwards  that 
may require a full valuation allowance at the time of any such recognition. 

Tax  positions  for  Chevron  and  its  subsidiaries  and  affiliates  are  subject  to  income  tax  audits  by  many  tax  jurisdictions 
throughout the world. For the company’s major tax jurisdictions, examinations of tax returns for certain prior tax years had 
not been completed as of December 31, 2022. For these jurisdictions, the latest years for which income tax examinations 
had been finalized were as follows: United States – 2016, Nigeria – 2007, Australia – 2009, Kazakhstan – 2012 and Saudi 
Arabia – 2016. 

The  company  engages  in  ongoing  discussions  with  tax  authorities  regarding  the  resolution  of  tax  matters  in  the  various 
jurisdictions. Both the outcome of these tax matters and the timing of resolution and/or closure of the tax audits are highly 
uncertain. Of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits the company has identified as of December 31, 2022, it is reasonably 
possible that developments on tax matters in certain tax jurisdictions may result in decreases of approximately 20 percent 
within the next 12 months. Given the number of years that still remain subject to examination and the number of matters 
being examined in the various tax jurisdictions, the company is unable to estimate the range of possible adjustments to the 
balance of unrecognized tax benefits beyond the next 12 months.

On the Consolidated Statement of Income, the company reports interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain tax 
positions as “Income Tax Expense (Benefit).” As of December 31, 2022, accrued expense of $112 for anticipated interest

2021.  Income  tax  expense  (benefit)  associated  with  interest  and  penalties  was  $152,  $19  and  $(124)  in  2022,  2021  and

Redeemable  long-term  obligations  consist  primarily  of  tax-exempt  variable-rate  put  bonds  that  are  included  as  current 
liabilities because they  become redeemable at the option of  the bondholders  during the  year following  the balance sheet 
date. 

The company may periodically enter into interest rate swaps on a portion of its short-term debt. At December 31, 2022, the 
company had no interest rate swaps on short-term debt. 

At  December  31,  2022,  the  company  had  $8,495  in  364-day  committed  credit  facilities  with  various  major  banks  that 
enable the refinancing of short-term obligations on a long-term basis. The credit facilities allow the company to convert 
any amounts outstanding into a term loan for a period of up to one year. This supports commercial paper borrowing and 
can  also  be  used  for  general  corporate  purposes.  The  company’s  practice  has  been  to  continually  replace  expiring 
commitments  with  new  commitments  on  substantially  the  same  terms,  maintaining  levels  management  believes 
appropriate.  Any  borrowings  under  the  facility  would  be  unsecured  indebtedness  at  interest  rates  based  on  the  Secured 
Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), or an average of base lending rates published by specified banks and on terms reflecting 
the company’s strong credit rating. No borrowings were outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2022. 

The company classified $4,050 and $7,759 of short-term debt as long-term at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 
Settlement of these obligations is not expected to require the use of working capital within one year, and the company has 
both the intent and the ability, as evidenced by committed credit facilities, to refinance them on a long-term basis.

Chevron  has  an  automatic  shelf  registration  statement  that  expires  in  August  2023.  This  registration  statement  is  for  an 
unspecified amount of nonconvertible debt securities issued or guaranteed by Chevron Corporation or CUSA. 

Long-term debt excluding finance lease liabilities with a principal balance of $18,975 matures as follows: 2023 – $2,694; 
2024 – $1,650; 2025 – $4,000; 2026 – $2,250; 2027 – $2,000; and after 2027 – $6,381. 

In  addition  to  the  $4.9  billion  in  long-term  debt  that  matured  in  2022,  the  company  also  early-redeemed  $3.0  billion  in 
notes at face value that were scheduled to mature in the second quarter of 2023.

assessing  the  reserves  and  the  economic  and  operating  viability  of  the  project.  If  either  condition  is  not  met  or  if  the 
company  obtains  information  that  raises  substantial  doubt  about  the  economic  or  operational  viability  of  the  project,  the 
exploratory well would be assumed to be impaired, and its costs, net of any salvage value, would be charged to expense.

Of the $1,554 of exploratory well costs capitalized for more than one year at December 31, 2022, $945 is related to seven 
projects  that  had  drilling  activities  underway  or  firmly  planned  for  the  near  future.  The  $609  balance  is  related  to  five 
projects  in  areas  requiring  a  major  capital  expenditure  before  production  could  begin  and  for  which  additional  drilling 
efforts were not underway or firmly planned for the near future. Additional drilling was not deemed necessary because the 
presence of hydrocarbons had already been established, and other activities were in process to enable a future decision on 
project development.

The  projects  for  the  $609  referenced  above  had  the  following  activities  associated  with  assessing  the  reserves  and  the 
projects’ economic viability: (a) $194 (three projects) – undergoing front-end engineering and design with final investment 
decision expected within four years; (b) $415 (two projects) – development alternatives under review. While progress was 
being made on all 12 projects, the decision on the recognition of proved reserves under SEC rules in some cases may not 
occur  for  several  years  because  of  the  complexity,  scale  and  negotiations  associated  with  the  projects.  More  than  three-
quarters of these decisions are expected to occur in the next five years. 

The $1,554 of suspended well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year as of December 31, 2022, represents 71 
exploratory wells in 12 projects. The tables below contain the aging of these costs on a well and project basis:

Cash received in payment for option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements for 2022, 2021 and 2020 was 
$5,835, $1,274 and $226, respectively. Actual tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option exercises were $216, 
$(15) and $8 for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

Cash  paid  to  settle  performance  shares,  restricted  stock  units  and  stock  appreciation  rights  was  $556,  $163  and  $95  for 
2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

On  May  25,  2022,  stockholders  approved  the  Chevron  2022  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  (2022  LTIP).  Awards  under  the 
2022  LTIP  may  take  the  form  of,  but  are  not  limited  to,  stock  options,  restricted  stock,  restricted  stock  units,  stock 
appreciation  rights,  performance  shares  and  non-stock  grants.  From  May  2022  through  May  2032,  no  more  than  104 
million shares may be issued under the 2022 LTIP. For awards issued on or after May 25, 2022, no more than 48 million of 
those shares may be issued in the form of full value awards such as share-settled restricted stock, share-settled restricted 
stock units and other share-settled awards that do not require full payment in cash or property for shares underlying such 
awards  by  the  award  recipient.  For  the  major  types  of  awards  issued  before  January  1,  2017,  the  contractual  terms  vary 
between  three  years  for  the  performance  shares  and  restricted  stock  units,  and  10  years  for  the  stock  options  and  stock 
appreciation  rights.  For  awards  issued  after  January  1,  2017,  contractual  terms  vary  between  three  years  for  the 
performance  shares  and  special  restricted  stock  units,  five  years  for  standard  restricted  stock  units  and  10  years  for  the 
stock options and stock appreciation rights. Commencing for grants issued in January 2023 and after, standard restricted 
stock  units  vest  ratably  on  an  annual  basis  over  a  three-year  period.  Forfeitures  of  performance  shares,  restricted  stock 
units, and stock appreciation rights are recognized as they occur. Forfeitures of stock options are estimated using historical 
forfeiture data dating back to 1990.

Noble  Share-Based  Plans  (Noble  Plans)  When  Chevron  acquired  Noble  in  October  2020,  outstanding  stock  options 
granted under various Noble Plans were exchanged for Chevron options. These awards retained the same provisions as the 
original  Noble  Plans.  Awards  issued  may  be  exercised  for  up  to  five  years  after  termination  of  employment,  depending 
upon the termination type, or the original expiration date, whichever is earlier. Other awards issued under the Noble Plans 
included restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance shares, which retained the same provisions as the 
original  Noble  Plans.  Upon  termination  of  employment  due  to  change-in-control,  all  unvested  awards  issued  under  the 
Noble Plans, including stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance shares vested on the 
termination date. If not exercised, awards will expire between 2023 and 2029. 

Fair Value and Assumptions The fair market values of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted in 2022, 2021 
and 2020 were measured on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-
average assumptions:

As of December 31, 2022, there was $78 of total unrecognized before-tax compensation cost related to nonvested share-
based compensation arrangements granted under the plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average 
period of 1.8 years.

At January 1, 2022, the number of LTIP performance shares outstanding was equivalent to 5,023,065 shares. During 2022, 
1,552,624  performance  shares  were  granted,  1,652,839  shares  vested  with  cash  proceeds  distributed  to  recipients  and 
169,584  shares  were  forfeited.  At  December  31,  2022,  there  were  4,753,266  performance  shares  outstanding  that  are 
payable in cash. The fair value of the liability recorded for these instruments was $996 and was measured largely using the 
Monte Carlo simulation method. 

At  January  1,  2022,  the  number  of  restricted  stock  units  outstanding  was  equivalent  to  4,386,637  shares.  During  2022, 
989,715 restricted stock units were granted, 979,382 units vested with cash proceeds distributed to recipients and 109,144 
units  were  forfeited.  At  December  31,  2022,  there  were  4,287,826  restricted  stock  units  outstanding  that  are  payable  in 
cash. The fair value of the liability recorded for the vested portion of these instruments was $548, valued at the stock price 
as  of  December  31,  2022.  In  addition,  outstanding  stock  appreciation  rights  that  were  granted  under  the  LTIP  totaled 
686,573 equivalent shares as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the liability recorded for the vested portion of these 
instruments was $50.

Note 23 
Employee Benefit Plans 
The  company  has  defined  benefit  pension  plans  for  many  employees.  The  company  typically  prefunds  defined  benefit 
plans  as  required  by  local  regulations  or  in  certain  situations  where  prefunding  provides  economic  advantages.  In  the 
United States, all qualified plans are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) minimum funding 
standard.  The  company  does  not  typically  fund  U.S.  nonqualified  pension  plans  that  are  not  subject  to  funding 
requirements  under  laws  and  regulations  because  contributions  to  these  pension  plans  may  be  less  economic  and 
investment returns may be less attractive than the company’s other investment alternatives. 

The company also sponsors other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans that provide medical and dental benefits, as well as 
life  insurance  for  some  active  and  qualifying  retired  employees.  The  plans  are  unfunded,  and  the  company  and  retirees 
share  the  costs.  For  the  company’s  main  U.S.  medical  plan,  the  increase  to  the  pre-Medicare  company  contribution  for 
retiree  medical  coverage  is  limited  to  no  more  than  4  percent  each  year.  Certain  life  insurance  benefits  are  paid  by  the 
company. 

The company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of each of its defined benefit pension and OPEB plans as an 
asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the decrease in benefit obligations was primarily due to actuarial gains caused by 
higher  discount  rates  used  to  value  the  obligations  and  benefit  payments  paid  to  retirees  in  2022.  For  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2021, the decrease in benefit obligations was primarily due to actuarial gains caused by higher discount rates 
used to value the obligations and large benefit payments paid to retirees in 2021.

Amounts  recognized  on  a  before-tax  basis  in  “Accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss”  for  the  company’s  pension  and 
OPEB plans were $3,446 and $4,979 at the end of 2022 and 2021, respectively. These amounts consisted of:

Expected Return on Plan Assets The company’s estimated long-term rates of return on pension assets are driven primarily 
by actual historical asset-class returns, an assessment of expected future performance, advice from external actuarial firms 
and  the  incorporation  of  specific  asset-class  risk  factors.  Asset  allocations  are  periodically  updated  using  pension  plan 
asset/liability studies, and the company’s estimated long-term rates of return are consistent with these studies. For 2022, the 
company  used  an  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  of  6.6  percent  for  U.S.  pension  plan  assets,  which  account  for  67 
percent of the company’s pension plan assets.

The market-related value of assets of the main U.S. pension plan used in the determination of pension expense was based 
on the market values in the three months preceding the year-end measurement date. Management considers the three-month 
time  period  long  enough  to  minimize  the  effects  of  distortions  from  day-to-day  market  volatility  and  still  be 
contemporaneous to the end of the year. For other plans, market value of assets as of year-end is used in calculating the 
pension expense.

Discount  Rate  The  discount  rate  assumptions  used  to  determine  the  U.S.  and  international  pension  and  OPEB  plan 
obligations and expense reflect the rate at which benefits could be effectively settled, and are equal to the equivalent single 
rate resulting from yield curve analysis. This analysis considered the projected benefit payments specific to the company’s 
plans and the yields on high-quality bonds. The projected cash flows were discounted to the valuation date using the yield 
curve for the main U.S. pension and OPEB plans. The effective discount rates derived from this analysis were 5.2 percent, 
2.8 percent, and 2.4 percent for 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, for both the main U.S. pension and OPEB plans.

Other Benefit Assumptions For the measurement of accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2022, 
for the main U.S. OPEB plan, the assumed health care cost-trend rates start with 6.6 percent in 2023 and gradually decline 
to 4.5 percent for 2032 and beyond. For this measurement at December 31, 2021, the assumed health care cost-trend rates 
started with 6.2 percent in 2022 and gradually declined to 4.5 percent for 2031 and beyond.

The primary investment objectives of the pension plans are to achieve the highest rate of total return within prudent levels 
of  risk  and  liquidity,  to  diversify  and  mitigate  potential  downside  risk  associated  with  the  investments,  and  to  provide 
adequate liquidity for benefit payments and portfolio management.

The company’s U.S. and U.K. pension plans comprise 94 percent of the total pension assets. Both the U.S. and U.K. plans 
have an Investment Committee that regularly meets during the year to review the asset holdings and their returns. To assess 
the plans’ investment performance, long-term asset allocation policy benchmarks have been established. 

For  the  primary  U.S.  pension  plan,  the  company’s  Investment  Committee  has  established  the  following  approved  asset 
allocation ranges: Equities 35–65 percent, Fixed Income 25–45 percent, Real Estate 5–25 percent, Alternative Investments 
0–5 percent and Cash 0–15 percent. For the U.K. pension plan, the U.K. Board of Trustees has established the following 
asset allocation guidelines: Equities 5–15 percent, Fixed Income 35–45 percent, Real Estate 5–15 percent, and Cash 0–5 
percent.  The  other  significant  international  pension  plans  also  have  established  maximum  and  minimum  asset  allocation 
ranges that vary by plan. Actual asset allocation within approved ranges is based on a variety of factors, including market 
conditions  and  illiquidity  constraints.  To  mitigate  concentration  and  other  risks,  assets  are  invested  across  multiple  asset 
classes with active investment managers and passive index funds. 

The company does not prefund its OPEB obligations. 

Cash Contributions and Benefit Payments In 2022, the company contributed $1,164 and $158 to its U.S. and international 
pension plans, respectively. In 2023, the company expects contributions to be approximately $1,000 to its U.S. plans and 
$100  to  its  international  pension  plans.  Actual  contribution  amounts  are  dependent  upon  investment  returns,  changes  in 
pension  obligations,  regulatory  environments,  tax  law  changes  and  other  economic  factors.  Additional  funding  may 
ultimately be required if investment returns are insufficient to offset increases in plan obligations. 

The company anticipates paying OPEB benefits of approximately $150 in 2023; $158 was paid in 2022. 

The  following  benefit  payments,  which  include  estimated  future  service,  are  expected  to  be  paid  by  the  company  in  the 
next 10 years:

Benefit  Plan  Trusts  Prior  to  its  acquisition  by  Chevron,  Texaco  established  a  benefit  plan  trust  for  funding  obligations 
under some of its benefit plans. At year-end 2022, the trust contained 14.2 million shares of Chevron treasury stock. The 
trust will sell the shares or use the dividends from the shares to pay benefits only to the extent that the company does not 
pay such benefits. The company intends to continue to pay its obligations under the benefit plans. The trustee will vote the 
shares held in the trust as instructed by the trust’s beneficiaries. The shares held in the trust are not considered outstanding 
for earnings-per-share purposes until distributed or sold by the trust in payment of benefit obligations. 

Prior to its acquisition by Chevron, Unocal established various grantor trusts to fund obligations under some of its benefit 
plans,  including  the  deferred  compensation  and  supplemental  retirement  plans.  At  December  31,  2022  and  2021,  trust 
assets of $35 and $36, respectively, were invested primarily in interest-earning accounts. 

Employee  Incentive  Plans  The  Chevron  Incentive  Plan  is  an  annual  cash  bonus  plan  for  eligible  employees  that  links 
awards to corporate, business unit and individual performance in the prior year. Charges to expense for cash bonuses were 
$1,169, $1,165 and $462 in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Chevron also has the LTIP for officers and other regular 
salaried employees of the company and its subsidiaries who hold positions of significant responsibility. Awards under the 
LTIP consist of stock options and other share-based compensation that are described in Note 22 Stock Options and Other 
Share-Based Compensation. 

Note 24 
Other Contingencies and Commitments 

Income  Taxes  The  company  calculates  its  income  tax  expense  and  liabilities  quarterly.  These  liabilities  generally  are 
subject  to  audit  and  are  not  finalized  with  the  individual  taxing  authorities  until  several  years  after  the  end  of  the 
annual  period  for  which  income  taxes  have  been  calculated.  Refer  to  Note  17  Taxes  for  a  discussion  of  the  periods  for 
which  tax  returns  have  been  audited  for  the  company’s  major  tax  jurisdictions  and  a  discussion  for  all  tax 
jurisdictions  of  the differences between the amount of tax benefits recognized in the financial statements and the amount 
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. 

Settlement of open tax years, as well as other tax issues in countries where the company conducts its businesses, are not 
expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial position or liquidity of the company and, in the opinion of 
management, adequate provisions have been made for all years under examination or subject to future examination.

Guarantees The company has one guarantee to an equity affiliate totaling $175. This guarantee is associated with certain 
payments under a terminal use agreement entered into by an equity affiliate. Over the approximate 5-year remaining term 
of  this  guarantee,  the  maximum  guarantee  amount  will  be  reduced  as  certain  fees  are  paid  by  the  affiliate.  There  are 
numerous cross-indemnity agreements with the affiliate and the other partners to permit recovery of amounts paid under 
the guarantee. Chevron has recorded no liability for this guarantee. 

Indemnifications  The  company  often  includes  standard  indemnification  provisions  in  its  arrangements  with  its  partners, 
suppliers  and  vendors  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business,  the  terms  of  which  range  in  duration  and  sometimes  are  not 
limited. The company may be obligated to indemnify such parties for losses or claims suffered or incurred in connection 
with its service or other claims made against such parties. 

Long-Term  Unconditional  Purchase  Obligations  and  Commitments,  Including  Throughput  and  Take-or-Pay 
Agreements  The  company  and  its  subsidiaries  have  certain  contingent liabilities  with  respect  to  long-term  unconditional 
purchase  obligations  and  commitments,  including  throughput  and  take-or-pay  agreements,  some  of  which  may  relate  to 
suppliers’  financing  arrangements.  The  agreements  typically  provide  goods  and  services,  such  as  pipeline  and  storage 
capacity,  utilities,  and  petroleum  products,  to  be  used  or  sold  in  the  ordinary  course  of  the  company’s  business.  The 
aggregate  amounts  of  required  payments  under  throughput  and  take-or-pay  agreements  are:  2023  –  $897;  2024  –  $959; 
2025 – $941; 2026 – $1,002; 2027 – $1,053 ; after 2027 – $6,489. The aggregate amount of required payments for other 
unconditional purchase obligations are: 2023 – $349; 2024 – $425; 2025 – $322; 2026 – $358; 2027 – $311; after 2027 – 
$1,233.  A  portion  of  these  commitments  may  ultimately  be  shared  with  project  partners.  Total  payments  under  the 
agreements were $1,866 in 2022, $861 in 2021 and $514 in 2020. 

Environmental    The  company  is  subject  to  loss  contingencies  pursuant  to  laws,  regulations,  private  claims  and  legal 
proceedings  related  to  environmental  matters  that  are  subject  to  legal  settlements  or  that  in  the  future  may  require  the 
company to take action to correct or ameliorate the effects on the environment of prior release of chemicals or petroleum 
substances by the company or other parties. Such contingencies may exist for various operating, closed and divested sites,

Millions of dollars, except per-share amounts

including, but not limited to, U.S. federal Superfund sites and analogous sites under state laws, refineries, chemical plants, 
marketing facilities, crude oil fields, and mining sites.

Although the company has provided for known environmental obligations that are probable and reasonably estimable, it is 
likely  that  the  company  will  continue  to  incur  additional  liabilities.  The  amount  of  additional  future  costs  are  not  fully 
determinable due to such factors as the unknown magnitude of possible contamination, the unknown timing and extent of 
the corrective actions that may be required, the determination of the company’s liability in proportion to other responsible 
parties, and the extent to which such costs are recoverable from third parties. These future costs may be material to results 
of operations in the period in which they are recognized, but the company does not expect these costs will have a material 
effect on its consolidated financial position or liquidity. 

Chevron’s  environmental  reserve  as  of  December  31,  2022,  was  $868.  Included  in  this  balance  was  $218  related  to 
remediation  activities  at approximately  143  sites  for  which  the company  had  been  identified  as  a potentially  responsible 
party under the provisions of the U.S. federal Superfund law or analogous state laws which provide for joint and several 
liability  for  all  responsible  parties.  Any  future  actions  by  regulatory  agencies  to  require  Chevron  to  assume  other 
potentially responsible parties’ costs at designated hazardous waste sites are not expected to have a material effect on the 
company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or liquidity. 

Of  the  remaining  year-end  2022  environmental  reserves  balance  of  $650,  $384  is  related  to  the  company’s  U.S. 
downstream operations, $44 to its international downstream operations, and $222 to its upstream operations. Liabilities at 
all sites were primarily associated with the company’s plans and activities to remediate soil or groundwater contamination 
or both. 

The company manages environmental liabilities under specific sets of regulatory requirements, which in the United States 
include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and various state and local regulations. No single remediation site at 
year-end  2022  had  a  recorded  liability  that  was  material  to  the  company’s  results  of  operations,  consolidated  financial 
position or liquidity. 

Refer to Note 25 Asset Retirement Obligations for a discussion of the company’s asset retirement obligations. 

Other  Contingencies  Chevron  receives  claims  from  and  submits  claims  to  customers;  trading  partners;  joint  venture 
partners; U.S. federal, state and local regulatory bodies; governments; contractors; insurers; suppliers; and individuals. The 
amounts of these claims, individually and in the aggregate, may be significant and take lengthy periods to resolve, and may 
result in gains or losses in future periods.

The company and its affiliates also continue to review and analyze their operations and may close, retire, sell, exchange, 
acquire or restructure assets to achieve operational or strategic benefits and to improve competitiveness and profitability. 
These activities, individually or together, may result in significant gains or losses in future periods. 

Note 25
Asset Retirement Obligations 
The company records the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (ARO) both as an asset and a liability 
when  there  is  a  legal  obligation  associated  with  the  retirement  of  a  tangible  long-lived  asset  and  the  liability  can  be 
reasonably  estimated.  The  legal  obligation  to  perform  the  asset  retirement  activity  is  unconditional,  even  though 
uncertainty  may  exist  about  the  timing  and/or  method  of  settlement  that  may  be  beyond  the  company’s  control.  This 
uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement is factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient 
information exists to reasonably estimate fair value. Recognition of the ARO includes: (1) the present value of a liability 
and offsetting asset, (2) the subsequent accretion of that liability and depreciation of the asset, and (3) the periodic review 
of the ARO liability estimates and discount rates. 

AROs are primarily recorded for the company’s crude oil and natural gas producing assets. No significant AROs associated 
with any legal obligations to retire downstream long-lived assets have been recognized, as indeterminate settlement dates 
for  the  asset  retirements  prevent  estimation  of  the  fair  value  of  the  associated  ARO.  The  company  performs  periodic 
reviews of its downstream long-lived assets for any changes in facts and circumstances that might require recognition of a 
retirement obligation.

In the table above, the amount associated with “Revisions in estimated cash flows” in 2021 primarily reflects increased cost 
estimates  and  scope  changes  to  decommission  wells,  equipment  and  facilities.  The  long-term  portion  of  the  $12,701 
balance at the end of 2022 was $11,419.

Note 26 
Revenue 
Revenue from contracts with customers is presented in “Sales and other operating revenues” along with some activity that 
is accounted for outside the scope of Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 606, which is not material to this line, on 
the Consolidated Statement of Income. Purchases and sales of inventory with the same counterparty that are entered into in 
contemplation of one another (including buy/sell arrangements) are combined and recorded on a net basis and reported 
in “Purchased crude oil and products” on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Refer to Note 14 Operating Segments 
and Geographic Data for additional information on the company’s segmentation of revenue. 

Receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers are included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” on the 
Consolidated Balance Sheet, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The net balance of these receivables was $14,219 
and $12,877 at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other items included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” 
represent  amounts  due  from  partners  for  their  share  of  joint  venture  operating  and  project  costs  and  amounts  due  from 
others,  primarily  related  to  derivatives,  leases,  buy/sell  arrangements  and  product  exchanges,  which  are  accounted  for 
outside the scope of ASC 606. 

Contract  assets  and  related  costs  are  reflected  in  “Prepaid  expenses  and  other  current  assets”  and  contract  liabilities  are 
reflected  in  “Accrued  liabilities”  and  “Deferred  credits  and  other  noncurrent  obligations”  on  the  Consolidated  Balance 
Sheet. Amounts for these items are not material to the company’s financial position.

Note 27

The  company  has  $4,722  in  goodwill  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet,  of  which  $4,370  is  in  the  upstream  segment 
primarily  related  to  the  2005  acquisition  of  Unocal  and  $352  is  in  the  downstream  segment.  The  company  tested  this 
goodwill for impairment during 2022, and no impairment was required. 

Note 28 
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
Chevron’s  expected  credit  loss  allowance  balance  was  $1.0  billion  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  $745  million  as  of 
December 31, 2021, with a majority of the allowance relating to non-trade receivable balances. 

The majority of the company’s receivable balance is concentrated in trade receivables, with a balance of $18.2 billion as of 
December 31, 2022, which reflects the company’s diversified sources of revenues and is dispersed across the company’s 
broad worldwide customer base. As a result, the company believes the concentration of credit risk is limited. The company 
routinely  assesses  the  financial  strength  of  its  customers.  When  the  financial  strength  of  a  customer  is  not  considered 
sufficient, alternative risk mitigation measures may be deployed, including requiring prepayments, letters of credit or other 
acceptable forms of collateral. Once credit is extended and a receivable balance exists, the company applies a quantitative 
calculation to current trade receivable balances that reflects credit risk predictive analysis, including probability of default 
and loss given default, which takes into consideration current and forward-looking market data as well as the company’s 
historical loss data. This statistical approach becomes the basis of the company’s expected credit loss allowance for current 
trade receivables with payment terms that are typically short-term in nature, with most due in less than 90 days.

Chevron’s non-trade receivable balance was $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2022, which includes receivables from certain 
governments in their capacity as joint venture partners. Joint venture partner balances that are paid as per contract terms or 
not  yet  due  are  subject  to  the  statistical  analysis  described  above  while  past  due  balances  are  subject  to  additional 
qualitative  management  quarterly  review.  This  management  review  includes  review  of  reasonable  and  supportable 
repayment forecasts. Non-trade receivables also include employee and tax receivables that are deemed immaterial and low 
risk. Loans to equity affiliates and non-equity investees are also considered non-trade and associated allowances of $560 
million are included within “Investments and Advances” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at both December 31, 2022 
and December 31, 2021.

Note 29 
Acquisition of Renewable Energy Group, Inc.
On  June  13,  2022,  the  company  acquired  Renewable  Energy  Group,  Inc.  (REG),  an  independent  company  focused  on 
converting natural fats, oils and greases into advanced biofuels. REG utilizes a global integrated production, procurement, 
distribution and logistics network to operate 11 biorefineries in the U.S. and Europe. Ten biorefineries produce biodiesel 
and  one  produces  renewable  diesel.  The  acquisition  combines  REG’s  growing  renewable  fuels  production  and  leading 
feedstock capabilities with Chevron’s large manufacturing, distribution and commercial marketing position. 

Chevron acquired outstanding shares of REG in an all-cash transaction valued at $3.15 billion, or $61.50 per share. As part 
of the transaction, the company recognized long-term debt and finance leases with a fair value of $590 million.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, which requires assets acquired and liabilities 
assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. Provisional fair value measurements were made for acquired 
assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the 
acquisition date, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Tangible and intangible assets were valued 
using a combination of replacement cost approach and discounted cash flows that incorporated internally generated price 
assumptions and production profiles together with appropriate operating and capital cost assumptions. Debt assumed in the

acquisition was valued based on observable market prices for REG’s debt. As a result of measuring the assets acquired and 
the liabilities assumed at fair value, the company recognized $293 million of goodwill.

* Reserve quantities include natural gas projected to be consumed in operations of 2,737, 2,505 and 2,490 billions of cubic feet and equivalent synthetic oil projected to be 

consumed in operations of 28, 17  and 21 millions of barrels as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Reserves  Governance  The  company  has  adopted  a  comprehensive  reserves  and  resources  classification  system  modeled
after a system developed and approved by a number of organizations, including the Society of Petroleum Engineers, the
World  Petroleum  Congress  and  the  American  Association  of  Petroleum  Geologists.  The  company  classifies  discovered
recoverable hydrocarbons into six categories based on their status at the time of reporting – three deemed commercial and
three  potentially  recoverable.  Within  the  commercial  classification  are  proved  reserves  and  two  categories  of  unproved
reserves:  probable  and  possible.  The  potentially  recoverable  categories  are  also  referred  to  as  contingent  resources.  For
reserves estimates to be classified as proved, they must meet all SEC and company standards.

Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable
certainty to be economically producible in the future from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, operating
methods  and  government  regulations.  Net  proved  reserves  exclude  royalties  and  interests  owned  by  others  and  reflect
contractual arrangements and royalty obligations in effect at the time of the estimate.

Proved reserves are classified as either developed or undeveloped. Proved developed reserves are the quantities expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods, or in which the cost of the required
equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well. Proved undeveloped reserves are the quantities expected
to  be  recovered  from  new  wells  on  undrilled  acreage  or  from  existing  wells  where  a  relatively  major  expenditure  is
required for recompletion.

Due  to  the  inherent  uncertainties  and  the  limited  nature  of  reservoir  data,  estimates  of  reserves  are  subject  to  change  as
additional information becomes available.

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities - Unaudited

Proved reserves are estimated by company asset teams composed of earth scientists and engineers. As part of the internal 
control  process  related  to  reserves  estimation,  the  company  maintains  a  Reserves  Advisory  Committee  (RAC)  that  is 
chaired by the Manager of Global Reserves, an organization that is separate from the business units that estimate reserves. 
The Manager of Global Reserves has more than 30 years of experience working in the oil and gas industry and holds both 
undergraduate  and  graduate  degrees  in  geoscience.  His  experience  includes  various  technical  and  management  roles  in 
providing reserve and resource estimates in support of major capital and exploration projects, and more than 10 years of 
overseeing oil and gas reserves processes. He has been named a Distinguished Lecturer by the American Association of 
Petroleum Geologists and is an active member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, the SEPM Society of 
Sedimentary Geologists and the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

All RAC members are degreed professionals, each with more than 10 years of experience in various aspects of reserves 
estimation  relating  to  reservoir  engineering,  petroleum  engineering,  earth  science  or  finance.  The  members  are 
knowledgeable  in  SEC  guidelines  for  proved  reserves  classification  and  receive  annual  training  on  the  preparation  of 
reserves estimates.

The RAC has the following primary responsibilities: establish the policies and processes used within the business units to 
estimate reserves; provide independent reviews and oversight of the business units’ recommended reserves estimates and 
changes; confirm that proved reserves are recognized in accordance with SEC guidelines; determine that reserve quantities 
are  calculated  using  consistent  and  appropriate  standards,  procedures  and  technology;  and  maintain  the  Chevron 
Corporation Reserves Manual, which provides standardized procedures used corporatewide for classifying and reporting 
hydrocarbon reserves.

During  the  year,  the  RAC  is  represented  in  meetings  with  each  of  the  company’s  business  units  to  review  and  discuss 
reserve  changes  recommended  by  the  various  asset  teams.  Major  changes  are  also  reviewed  with  the  company’s  senior 
leadership  team  including  the  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  the  Chief  Financial  Officer.  The  company’s  annual  reserve 
activity  is  also  reviewed  with  the  Board  of  Directors.  If  major  changes  to  reserves  were  to  occur  between  the  annual 
reviews, those matters would also be discussed with the Board.

RAC  subteams  also  conduct  in-depth  reviews  during  the  year  of  many  of  the  fields  that  have  large  proved  reserves 
quantities.  These  reviews  include  an  examination  of  the  proved  reserve  records  and  documentation  of  their  compliance 
with the Chevron Corporation Reserves Manual. 

Technologies  Used  in  Establishing  Proved  Reserves  Additions  In  2022,  additions  to  Chevron’s  proved  reserves  were 
based on a wide range of geologic and engineering technologies. Information generated from wells, such as well logs, wire 
line sampling, production and pressure testing, fluid analysis, and core analysis, was integrated with seismic data, regional 
geologic  studies,  and  information  from  analogous  reservoirs  to  provide  “reasonably  certain”  proved  reserves  estimates. 
Both proprietary and commercially available analytic tools, including reservoir simulation, geologic modeling and seismic 
processing, have been used in the interpretation of the subsurface data. These technologies have been utilized extensively 
by the company in the past, and the company believes that they provide a high degree of confidence in establishing reliable 
and consistent reserves estimates.

In  2022,  revisions  include  an  increase  of  257  million  BOE  in  Israel,  due  to  new  wells  and  performance  revisions  in  the 
Leviathan  and  Tamar  fields.  This  increase  was  largely  offset  by  decreases  of  145  million  BOE  from  the  United  States 
primarily  from  portfolio  optimizations  in  the  Midland  and  Delaware  basins,  69  million  BOE  in  Kazakhstan  primarily  at 
TCO  as  higher  prices  reduced  entitlement  (Entitlement  effects)  and  changes  in  operating  assumptions  reduced  estimated

undeveloped reserves, and 31 million BOE in Nigeria due to lower expected offtake of natural gas relative to contracted 
volumes.

In 2022, extensions and discoveries of 578 million BOE in the United States were primarily due to the increase of activity 
and  planned  development  of  new  locations  in  shale  and  tight  assets  in  the  Midland,  Delaware  and  DJ  basins.  In  Other 
Americas, 34 million BOE of extensions and discoveries were from shale and tight assets in Argentina and Canada.

The difference in 2022 extensions and discoveries of 122 million BOE, between the net quantities of proved reserves of 
754 million BOE as reflected on pages 107 to 109 and net quantities of proved undeveloped reserves of 632 million BOE, 
is primarily due to proved extensions and discoveries that were not recognized as proved undeveloped reserves in the prior 
year and were recognized directly as proved developed reserves in 2022. 

Purchases of 61 million BOE in 2022 are primarily from the acquisition of various properties in the Midland and Delaware 
basins in the United States. 

Transfers to proved developed reserves in 2022 include 309 million BOE in the United States, primarily from the Midland, 
Delaware  and  DJ  basin  developments,  207  million  BOE  in  Australia,  and  141  million  BOE  in  Kazakhstan,  Angola, 
Canada, Argentina and other international locations. These transfers are the consequence of development expenditures on 
completing wells and facilities. 

During 2022, investments totaling approximately $7.5 billion in oil and gas producing activities and about $0.1 billion in 
non-oil  and  gas  producing  activities  were  expended  to  advance  the  development  of  proved  undeveloped  reserves.  The 
United  States  accounted  for  about  $3.7  billion  primarily  related  to  various  development  activities  in  the  Midland  and 
Delaware  basins  and  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  In  Asia,  expenditures  during  the  year  totaled  approximately  $2.6  billion, 
primarily related to development projects for TCO in Kazakhstan. An additional $0.2 billion were spent on development 
activities in Australia. In Africa, about $0.5 billion was expended on various offshore development and natural gas projects 
in  Nigeria,  Angola  and  Republic  of  Congo.  Development  activities  in  Canada  and  other  international  locations  were 
primarily responsible for about $0.5 billion of expenditures. 

Reserves that remain proved undeveloped for five or more years are a result of several factors that affect optimal project 
development  and  execution.  These  factors  may  include  the  complex  nature  of  the  development  project  in  adverse  and 
remote locations, physical limitations of infrastructure or plant capacities that dictate project timing, compression projects 
that are pending reservoir pressure declines, and contractual limitations that dictate production levels.

At year-end 2022, the company held approximately 1.3 billion BOE of proved undeveloped reserves that have remained 
undeveloped for five years or more. The majority of these reserves are in locations where the company has a proven track 
record of developing major projects. In Australia, approximately 235 million BOE remain undeveloped for five years or 
more  related  to  the  Gorgon  and  Wheatstone  Projects.  Further  field  development  to  convert  the  remaining  proved 
undeveloped  reserves  is  scheduled  to  occur  in  line  with  operating  constraints,  reservoir  depletion  and  infrastructure 
optimization. In Africa, approximately 167 million BOE have remained undeveloped for five years or more, primarily due 
to  facility  constraints  at  various  fields  and  infrastructure  associated  with  the  Escravos  gas  projects  in  Nigeria.  Affiliates 
account  for  about  776  million  BOE  of  proved  undeveloped  reserves  with  about  726  million  BOE  that  have  remained 
undeveloped  for  five  years  or  more.  Approximately  647  million  BOE  are  related  to  TCO  in  Kazakhstan  and  about  79 
million BOE are related to Angola LNG. At TCO and Angola LNG, further field development to convert the remaining 
proved undeveloped reserves is scheduled to occur in line with reservoir depletion and facility constraints. 

Annually,  the  company  assesses  whether  any  changes  have  occurred  in  facts  or  circumstances,  such  as  changes  to 
development  plans,  regulations,  or  government  policies,  that  would  warrant  a  revision  to  reserve  estimates.  In  2022, 
improvements in commodity prices positively impacted the economic limits of oil and gas properties, resulting in proved 
reserve  increases,  and  negatively  impacted  proved  reserves  due  to  entitlement  effects.  The  year-end  reserves  quantities 
have  been  updated  for  these  circumstances  and  significant  changes  have  been  discussed  in  the  appropriate  reserves 
sections. Over the past three years, the ratio of proved undeveloped reserves to total proved reserves has ranged between 31 
percent and 35 percent.

Proved Reserve Quantities For the three years ending December 31, 2022, the pattern of net reserve changes shown in the 
following  tables  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  future  trends.  Apart  from  acquisitions,  the  company’s  ability  to  add 
proved  reserves  can  be  affected  by  events  and  circumstances  that  are  outside  the  company’s  control,  such  as  delays  in 
government  permitting,  partner  approvals  of  development  plans,  changes  in  oil  and  gas  prices,  OPEC  constraints, 
geopolitical uncertainties, and civil unrest.

Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Producing Activities - Unaudited

At  December  31,  2022,  proved  reserves  for  the  company  were  11.2  billion  BOE.  The  company’s  estimated  net  proved 
reserves of liquids, including crude oil, condensate and synthetic oil for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022, are shown in the 
table  on  page  107.  The  company’s  estimated  net  proved  reserves  of  natural  gas  liquids  are  shown  on  page  108,  and  the 
company’s estimated net proved reserves of natural gas are shown on page 109.

Noteworthy changes in crude oil, condensate and synthetic oil proved reserves for 2020 through 2022 are discussed below 
and shown in the table on the following page:

Revisions In 2020, capital reductions and commodity price effects in the Midland and Delaware basins and Anchor in the 
Gulf of Mexico were primarily responsible for the 279 million barrels decrease in the United States. Reserves in Venezuela 
affiliates decreased by 149 million barrels, primarily due to impairments and accounting methodology change. Entitlement 
effects  and  performance  revisions  in  TCO  were  primarily  responsible  for  the  180  million  barrels  increase.  Entitlement 
effects primarily contributed to an increase of 77 million barrels of synthetic oil at the Athabasca Oil Sands in Canada and 
74 million barrels at multiple locations in Asia.

In  2021,  the  206  million  barrels  increase  in  United  States  was  primarily  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  and  the  Midland  and 
Delaware basins. The higher commodity price environment led to the increase of 126 million barrels in the Gulf of Mexico 
primarily  from  Anchor  and  a  68  million  barrels  increase  in  the  Midland  and  Delaware  basins  due  to  higher  planned 
development activity. In TCO, entitlement effects and technical changes in field operating assumptions, reservoir model, 
and  project  schedule  were  primarily  responsible  for  the  208  million  barrels  decrease  in  Kazakhstan.  Entitlement  effects 
primarily contributed to a decrease of 106 million barrels of synthetic oil at the Athabasca Oil Sands project in Canada. In 
the Other Americas, performance revisions and price effects, mainly in Canada and Argentina, were primarily responsible 
for the 41 million barrels increase.

In 2022, entitlement effects primarily contributed to a decrease of 49 million barrels of synthetic oil at the Athabasca Oil 
Sands project in Canada. In TCO, entitlement effects and changes in operating assumptions were primarily responsible for 
the 35 million barrels decrease in Kazakhstan. 

Extensions  and  Discoveries  In  2020,  extensions  and  discoveries  in  the  Midland  and  Delaware  basins  were  primarily 
responsible for the 105 million barrels increase in the United States.

In 2021, extensions and discoveries in the Midland and Delaware basins, and at the Whale Project in the Gulf of Mexico, 
were primarily responsible for the 349 million barrels increase in the United States.

In 2022, extensions and discoveries in the Midland, Delaware and DJ basins, and approval of the Ballymore Project in the 
Gulf of Mexico, were primarily responsible for the 264 million barrels increase in the United States. In Other Americas, the 
32 million barrels of extensions and discoveries were from Argentina and Canada. 

Purchases In 2020, the acquisition of Noble assets contributed 227 million barrels in the DJ basin, Midland and Delaware 
basins in the United States. 

In 2022, the company exercised its option to acquire additional land acreage in the Athabasca Oil Sands project in Canada 
contributing 168 million barrels in synthetic oil. The extension of deepwater licenses in Nigeria and the Republic of Congo 
contributed 36 million barrels in Africa.

Sales In 2020, sales of 99 million barrels in Asia were in Azerbaijan. 

In 2021, sales of 32 million barrels in the United States were in the Midland and Delaware basins.

Noteworthy changes in natural gas proved reserves for 2020 through 2022 are discussed below and shown in the table on 
the following page:

Revisions In 2020, the demotion of Jansz Io compression project reserves and lower field performance, partially offset by 
positive  revisions  at  Gorgon,  were  mainly  responsible  for  the  net  2.5  TCF  decrease  in  Australia.  Capital  reductions  and 
commodity price effects in various fields of the Midland and Delaware basins were mainly responsible for the 509 BCF 
decrease in the United States. In Africa, a 229 BCF decrease was primarily due to reduced demand and development plan 
changes at Meren in Nigeria.

In 2021, the approval of the Jansz Io Compression project was mainly responsible for the 1.2 TCF increase in Australia. 
Higher commodity prices, resulting in the increase of planned development activity in the Midland and Delaware basins, 
were mainly responsible for the 829 BCF increase in the United States. In TCO, entitlement effects and technical changes 
in field operating assumptions, reservoir model, and project schedule were primarily responsible for the 179 BCF decrease.

In 2022, the performance of the Leviathan and Tamar fields in Israel and the Bibiyana and Jalalabad fields in Bangladesh 
were mainly responsible for the 1.8 TCF increase in Asia. In Australia, the 377 BCF decrease was mainly due to updated 
reservoir characterization of the Wheatstone field.  In TCO, entitlement effects and changes in operating assumptions were 
primarily responsible for the 285 BCF decrease.

Extensions  and  Discoveries  In  2020,  extensions  and  discoveries  of  385  BCF  in  the  United  States  were  primarily  in  the 
Midland and Delaware basins.

In 2021, extensions and discoveries of 1.4 TCF in the United States were primarily in the Midland and Delaware basins.

In 2022, extensions and discoveries of 1.6 TCF in the United States were primarily in the Midland and Delaware basins.

Purchases In 2020, the acquisition of Noble assets contributed 5.4 TCF in Israel in Asia, 1.5 TCF in the DJ basin, Midland 
and Delaware basins and Eagle Ford Shale in the United States and 441 BCF in Equatorial Guinea in Africa. 

Sales In 2020, sales of 1.3 TCF were primarily in the Appalachian basin in the United States and 264 BCF primarily in 
Azerbaijan in Asia.

In 2022, sales of 243 BCF in the United States were primarily in the Eagle Ford shale and Midland and Delaware basins.

Table VI - Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows Related to Proved Oil and Gas Reserves 

The  standardized  measure  of  discounted  future  net  cash  flows  is  calculated  in  accordance  with  SEC  and  FASB 
requirements. This includes using the average of first-day-of-the-month oil and gas prices for the 12-month period prior to 
the end of the reporting period, estimated future development and production costs assuming the continuation of existing 
economic conditions, estimated costs for asset retirement obligations (includes costs to retire existing wells and facilities in 
addition  to  those  future  wells  and  facilities  necessary  to  produce  proved  undeveloped  reserves),  and  estimated  future 
income  taxes  based  on  appropriate  statutory  tax  rates.  Discounted  future  net  cash  flows  are  calculated  using  10  percent 
mid-period discount factors. Estimates of proved reserve quantities are imprecise and change over time as new information 
becomes  available.  Probable  and  possible  reserves,  which  may  become  proved  in  the  future,  are  excluded  from  the 
calculations. The valuation requires assumptions as to the timing and amount of future development and production costs. 
The  calculations  are  made  as  of  December  31  each  year  and  do  not  represent  management’s  estimate  of  the  company’s 
future cash flows or value of its oil and gas reserves. In the following table, the caption “Standardized Measure Net Cash 
Flows” refers to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.

glossary of energy 
and financial terms

energy terms
Acreage Land leased for oil and gas exploration and production.
Additives Specialty chemicals incorporated into fuels and 
lubricants that enhance the performance of the finished product.

Barrels of oil-equivalent (BOE) A unit of measure to quantify 
crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas amounts using the 
same basis. Natural gas volumes are converted to barrels on the 
basis of energy content. See oil‑equivalent gas and production.

Carbon intensity The amount of carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide 
equivalent (CO2e) per unit of measure.
Condensate Hydrocarbons that are in a gaseous state at 
reservoir conditions, but when produced are in liquid state  
at surface conditions.

Development Drilling, construction and related activities 
following discovery that are necessary to begin production and 
transportation of crude oil and/or natural gas.

Exploration Searching for crude oil and/or natural gas by 
utilizing geological and topographical studies, geophysical and 
seismic surveys and drilling of wells.

Gas-to-liquids (GTL) A process that converts natural gas into 
high‑quality liquid transportation fuels and other products.

Hydrogen Chevron’s approach to hydrogen for new lower 
carbon businesses envisions the use of green, blue and gray 
hydrogen. Chevron believes the use of blue and green hydrogen 
as a fuel source can help reduce the amount of greenhouse gas 
emissions entering the atmosphere. While gray hydrogen is 
viewed as not directly supporting decarbonization of the energy 
sector, Chevron believes that early‑use cases of gray hydrogen 
can provide key opportunities to de‑risk technology, enable 
development of supporting infrastructure, including fueling 
stations, and contribute to learnings.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) Natural gas that is liquefied 
under extremely cold temperatures to facilitate storage or 
transportation in specially designed vessels.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) Light gases, such as butane and 
propane, that can be maintained as liquids while under pressure.

Lower carbon energy includes a variety of existing and 
emerging energy solutions and services, including traditional 
energy sources linked with renewables or abatement 
technologies or measures, carbon capture and sequestration, 
offsets, blue and green hydrogen, geothermal and nuclear.

Lower carbon intensity oil, products and natural gas includes oil, 
natural gas and hydrocarbon‑based products that are produced 
and sold to customers with a carbon intensity below that of 
traditional oil, natural gas and hydrocarbon‑based products.

Natural gas liquids (NGLs) Separated from natural gas, these 
include ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline.

Net reserves and resources Chevron’s interest share of oil 
and gas after removing royalty share and overriding royalties 
paid to others. Net includes any applicable Chevron‑owned 
overriding royalties.

Net zero upstream aspiration (Scope 1 and 2) Chevron aspires 
to reach net zero upstream emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 2050. 
Accomplishing this aspiration depends on continuing progress 
on commercially viable technology; government policy; 
successful negotiations for carbon capture and storage and 
nature‑based projects; availability of cost‑effective, verifiable 
offsets in the global market; and granting of necessary permits 
by governing authorities.

Oil-equivalent gas (OEG) The volume of natural gas needed to 
generate the equivalent amount of heat as a barrel of crude oil. 
Approximately 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas is equivalent to 
one  barrel of crude oil.

Oil sands Naturally occurring mixture of bitumen (a heavy, 
viscous form of crude oil), water, sand and clay. Using 
hydroprocessing technology, bitumen can be refined to yield 
synthetic oil.

Petrochemicals Compounds derived from petroleum. These 
include: aromatics, which are used to make plastics, adhesives, 
synthetic fibers and household detergents; and olefins, which 
are used to make packaging, plastic pipes, tires, batteries, 
household detergents and synthetic motor oils.

Portfolio carbon intensity A metric that represents the 
estimated energy‑weighted average greenhouse gas emissions 
intensity from a simplified value chain from the production, 
refinement, distribution and end use of marketed energy 
products per unit of energy delivered.

Production Total production refers to all the crude oil (including 
synthetic oil), NGLs and natural gas produced from a property. 
Net production is the company’s share of total production after 
deducting both royalties paid to landowners and a government’s 
agreed‑upon share of production under a production‑
sharing contract (PSC). Liquids production refers to crude oil, 
condensate, natural gas liquids and synthetic oil volumes. Oil‑
equivalent production is the sum of the barrels of liquids and the 
oil‑equivalent barrels of natural gas produced. See barrels of oil‑
equivalent, oil‑equivalent gas and production‑sharing contract.

Production-sharing contract (PSC) An agreement between 
a government and a contractor (generally an oil and gas 
company) whereby production is shared between the parties 
in a prearranged manner. The contractor typically incurs all 
exploration, development and production costs, which are 
subsequently recoverable out of an agreed‑upon share of any 
future PSC production, referred to as cost recovery oil and/or gas.   

Chevron Corporation 2022 Annual Report

112

Any remaining production, referred to as profit oil and/or gas, is 
shared between the parties on an agreed‑upon basis as stipulated in 
the PSC. The government may also retain a share of PSC production 
as a royalty payment, and the contractor typically owes income tax 
on its portion of the profit oil and/or gas. The contractor’s share of 
PSC oil and/or gas production and reserves varies over time, as it is 
dependent on prices, costs and specific PSC terms. 

Refinery utilization Average crude oil consumed in fuel and 
asphalt refineries for the year, expressed as a percentage of the 
refineries’ average annual crude unit capacity.

Reserves Crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas contained 
in underground rock formations called reservoirs and saleable 
hydrocarbons extracted from oil sands, shale, coalbeds and other 
nonrenewable natural resources that are intended to be upgraded 
into synthetic oil or gas. Net proved reserves are the estimated 
quantities that geoscience and engineering data demonstrate 
with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in the 
future from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions, 
operating methods and government regulations and exclude 
royalties and interests owned by others. Estimates change as 
additional information becomes available. Oil‑equivalent reserves 
are the sum of the liquids reserves and the oil‑equivalent gas 
reserves. See barrels of oil‑equivalent and oil‑equivalent gas. The 
company discloses only net proved reserves in its filings with the 
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should refer 
to proved reserves disclosures in Chevron’s Annual Report on 
Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Resources Estimated quantities of oil and gas resources are 
recorded under Chevron’s 6P system, which is modeled after 
the Society of Petroleum Engineers’ Petroleum Resources 
Management System, and include quantities classified as proved, 
probable and possible reserves, plus those that remain contingent 
on commerciality. Unrisked resources, unrisked resource base 
and similar terms represent the arithmetic sum of the amounts 
recorded under each of these classifications. Recoverable 
resources, potentially recoverable volumes and other similar 
terms represent estimated remaining quantities that are forecast 
to be ultimately recoverable and produced in the future, adjusted 
to reflect the relative uncertainty represented by the various 
classifications. These estimates may change significantly as 
development work provides additional information. All of these 
measures are considered by management in making capital 
investment and operating decisions and may provide some 
indication to stockholders of the resource potential of oil and gas 
properties in which the company has an interest.

Shale gas Natural gas produced from shale rock formations 
where the gas was sourced from within the shale itself. Shale 
is very fine‑grained rock, characterized by low porosity and 
extremely low permeability. Production of shale gas normally 
requires formation stimulation such as the use of hydraulic 
fracturing (pumping a fluid‑sand mixture into the formation 
under high pressure) to help produce the gas.

Synthetic oil A marketable and transportable hydrocarbon 
liquid, resembling crude oil, that is produced by upgrading 
highly viscous or solid hydrocarbons, such as extra‑heavy crude 
oil or oil sands. 

Tight oil Liquid hydrocarbons produced from shale (also referred 
to as shale oil) and other rock formations with extremely low 
permeability. As with shale gas, production from tight oil 
reservoirs normally requires formation stimulation such as 
hydraulic fracturing.

Unconventional oil and gas resources Hydrocarbons 
contained in formations over very large areas with extremely 
low permeability that are not influenced by buoyancy. In 
contrast, conventional resources are contained within geologic 

structures/stratigraphy and float buoyantly over water. 
Unconventional resources include shale gas, coalbed methane, 
crude oil and natural gas from tight rock formations, tar sands, 
kerogen from oil shale, and gas hydrates that cannot commercially 
flow without well stimulation. 

Wells Oil and gas wells are classified as either exploration or 
development wells. Exploration wells are wells drilled to find a 
new field or to find a new reservoir in a field previously found to be 
productive of oil and gas in another reservoir. Appraisal wells are 
exploration wells drilled to confirm the results of a discovery well. 
Delineation wells are exploration wells drilled to determine the 
boundaries of a productive formation or to delineate the extent of 
a find. Development wells are wells drilled in an existing reservoir 
in a proved oil‑ or gas‑producing area. Completed wells are wells 
for which drilling work has been completed and that are capable 
of producing. Dry wells are wells completed as dry holes, that is, 
wells not capable of producing in commercial quantities.

Chevron invests in the communities where we operate to 
support people, the environment and prosperity. For example, 
in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, we are funding a three‑year pilot 
program with The Nature Conservancy, its local Indonesian affiliate 
Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara and Pact to restore 50 hectares 
of mangroves in traditional shrimp aquaculture ponds. Known as 
Mangrove Sahabat Tambak Lestari (literally, “mangrove is the best friend 
of sustainable aquaculture”), the program aims to demonstrate that 
sustainable shrimp aquaculture farming benefits communities and can 
help preserve and restore mangrove ecosystems.

the people behind the patents
At Chevron, we’re innovating for today and tomorrow. Technology and human ingenuity have never been more 
important as we safely work to meet the world’s growing demand for affordable, reliable, ever‑cleaner energy. 
In 2022, we were proud to honor 463 Chevron inventors (from 29 locations around the world) who were granted 
U.S. patents or submitted patent applications. Chevron holds more than 4,800 U.S. patents on technology 
solutions, with another 2,100 pending, making us one of the leading patent holders in the industry worldwide.

This Annual Report contains forward‑looking statements – identified by words such as “advances,” “aim,” “ambitions,” “anticipates,” 
“approaches,” “aspiration,” “believe,” “budgets,” “can,” “commit,” “commits,” “drives,” “estimates,” “expect,” “focus,” “forecast,” “goal,” 
“intend,” “may,” “on track,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “position,” “potential,” “progress,” “project,” “schedule,” “seeks,” “should,” “strategy,” 
“target,” “will” and similar phrases – that reflect management’s current estimates and beliefs, but are not guarantees of future results. Please 
see “Cautionary Statements Relevant to Forward‑Looking Information for the Purpose of ‘Safe Harbor’ Provisions of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995” on page 31 for a discussion of some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially.

There are many paths the future 
could take, but a few things are 
certain: the global demand for 
energy continues to grow; more 
affordable and reliable energy 
is needed; current energy forms 
are becoming cleaner; and new 
energy solutions are emerging.
