  14. Unconventional Resources XHO, GTL, CTL and “other” resources such as Biomass, Hydrates, etc. alternate hydrocarbon resources will become increasingly important Long-Term Outlook Shows Growth in Unconventional Resources Unconventional Liquids (MMBPD) Overall Oil Supply (MMBD) 17 - 150 - Shale Oil Gap - Unconventionals Bio-Fuels Coal to Liquids NGLs, Condensate, etc. 100 - Gas to Liquids Middle East, West Africa, and FSU 50 - Heavy Oil North America, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe 0 - 0 - 2005 2030 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 • Hydrocarbon Demand – Grows from 85 MM BOED to 125 MM BOED over the next 25 years • Total Oil Production Plateau – At approximately 100 MM BOED the demand gap is filled by Unconventional Sources

  15.

  16. South Umm Gudair PNZ Wafra South Fuwaris Saudi Arabia Humma Chevron’s Development of Heavy Oil Reserves • ~ 500,000 BOPD (net) = largest amongst International Oil Companies account for almost half of the world’s thermal heavy oil production North Sea Alberta Canada San Joaquin Valley California Partitioned Neutral Zone China Arabian Gulf Venezuela Chad Hamaca Boscan Duri Indonesia Angola Brazil Mining Offshore Primary Thermal

  17. Renewables Energy Strategy

  18. Demand is Growing, All Sources will be Needed 2010 12,842 Million Tons of Oil Equivalent 240 Mmboe/d 2030 17,095 Million Tons of Oil Equivalent 320 Mmboe/d 1% 10% 2% 26% 6% 21% 34% Refs:IEA World Energy Outlook 2006

  19. Leveraging Our Assets • Chevron pursues renewable energy technologies that • Are similar to our core business • Can be integrated into our existing asset base • Enable our core business • Can give us a competitive advantage

  20. Geothermal Areas of Focus Energy Efficiency Emerging Energy Advanced Biofuels

  21. Chevron Technology VenturesBiofuels Business Unit Chevron Technology Ventures manages Chevron’s advanced biofuels research portfolio and the company’s interest in Catchlight Energy External Research Collaborations Internal R&D • Universities • Government laboratories • Industrial partners • NGOs • Feedstock supply and optimization • Conversion technologies • Fuel and combustion technology

  22. Catchlight Energy Chevron’s 50/50 joint venture with Weyerhaeuser to research, develop and commercialize the conversion of forest-based biomass into biofuels Weyerhaeuser Chevron Catchlight Energy Feedstocksat scale Conversiontechnology High-quality fuels

  23. Going Forward • Maintain leadership in energy efficiency • Continue to narrow focus in advanced biofuels feedstocks and conversion technologies • Continue to partner business units to investigate, develop and integrate innovative solutions • Maintain emphasis on energy at scale

  24. Refining Refining & Clean Fuel Production

  25. Unconventional Liquid Fuels Demand

  27. Deficit of Diesel/Gasoil in Middle East/North Africa (MENA) Market Outlets Europe and Asia Pacific (Deficit)/Surplus, Mt

  28. Diesel Fuel Sulfur Levels MENA August 2008 5000/ ~2010 50 / 2016 = 10 / 2013 10 / 2010 10 / 2013 50 / 2010 10 / 2012 5000 / ~2010 Middle East diesel sulfur specifications are tightening (limit ppm S/year) Sources: www.unep.org (2008 specs) and Wood Mackenzie (future specs)

  29. Hydroprocessing as the Bridging Technology • Challenges 2020-2050 similar to Chevron’s history • Convert heavy, contaminated feedstocks to clean products economically, efficiently – led to “hydroprocessing” technology • Even the non-conventionals need hydroprocessing • Need continuing application and innovation of hydroprocessing as bridging, transitional refining technology to address shifts in supply/demand, public policy, ramp up of non-conventional-derived fuels • Moderated by capital, GHG ‘costs’

  30. How Hydroprocessing Fits In:An Upgrading Refinery Refineries use hydroprocessing to: • Meet product quality specifications on transportation fuels • Upgrade heavier oil into desired, clean fuels or feedstocks • Remove contaminants to feed downstream units, e.g., for lubricants, Petrochemicals • Transition to process non-conventional feedstocks, e.g., Coal to liquids derived, bio-mass derived oils • New technologies such as Chevron’s VRSH increase liquid yield

  31. Hydroprocessing Technology for Downstream Performance • Chevron has built broad capability in processing heavy, high-contaminant crudes and residuum to clean products • US Refineries – Over 40 years of hydroprocessing with more than 40 units currently operating • UK Refinery – Innovative processing techniques for processing difficult crudes • S. Korea Refinery – Upgrading to increase flexibility, reduce crude cost, and upgrade to diesel and lubricant base oils with advanced hydroprocessing, including ISOCRACKING, ISODEWAXING and LC-FINING technologies • Through JVs, Chevron markets hydroprocessing technologies and catalysts

  32. Hydroprocessing Technologies marketed by Chevron’s Joint-Ventures

  33. Announced Capacity Increases May Solve Most of the ME HCR Capacity Shortage Future Mid-East hydroprocessing capability will grow to meet Global needs

  34. Innovation Drives Performance VRSH – Refining’s Future • Vacuum Resid Slurry Hydrocracking (VRSH) technology - a unique resid conversion process for turning Vacuum Resid into high valued products • Converts nearly 100% vacuum resid into clean burning fuels • Yields high value products (>80% diesel and lighter & <20% VGO) • Liquid yield 115-120%, no coke • R&D pilot continues to improve the process and reduce technology risk • Focus on optimizing catalyst formulation & operating flexibility

  35. Summary • Our comprehensive Environmental, Social and Health Assessment process applies leading technologies to reduce environmental, social and health impacts and risks from our activities • Upstream, Renewables, Refining Technology Developments for the Mid-East and Chevron will depend on: • Innovation • Leveraged strengths • Collaboration/Partnerships
