Socal later changed its name to Chevron. In 2001, Chevron and Texaco officially
merged to become Chevron Texaco - thereby establishing one of the largest energy
1
companies in the world. In May 2005, Chevron-Texaco changed its name to Chevron
Corporation.
The year 2005 also marked another important milestone for Chevron, as in that year
Chevron and Unocal officially merged. As a result, Chevron's position as a global
energy leader was further strengthened.
Through Chevron Asia Pacific Exploration & Production (CAPEP), Chevron conducts
operations in both Indonesia and the Philippines under the IndoAsia Strategic Business
Unit (IBU).
IBU runs upstream and power operations through the following Chevron subsidiaries:
PT. Chevron Pacific Indonesia (CPI) and Chevron Indonesia Company (CICo) in the
field of oil and gas exploration and production; Chevron Geothermal Indonesia,Ltd. and
Chevron Geothermal Salak, Ltd., both operating in Indonesia, and Chevron
Geothermal Philippines Holding Inc. (CGPHI) in the Philippines for geothermal and
power generation. As of December 2007, IBU's activities were supported by over 7,000
high skilled and dedicated employees.
From its onshore fields in three PSC (production-sharing contract areas in Sumatra,
IBU manages the world’s largest steam-flood operation at the Duri Field, as well as
extensive water-flood operations at the giant Minas and Kotabatak Fields. The Duri,
Minas and Kotabatak Fields are part of the CPI operations, and cover an area of more
than 8,800 square kilometres in Riau Province.
IBU also operates the Dumai Terminal, which is the loading poin for oil transported from
oil wells through a pipeline system extending for some 1,000 kilometers before being
loaded onto ocean-going oil tankers. Using high speed pumps, the Dumai facility can
load 4 tankers simultaneously from its 6 million barrel tank farm.
Meanwhile in East Kalimantan, IBU operates offshore production fields under two PSCs
covering approximately 8,800 square kilometres. Crude oil and natural gas from the
southern fields are processed at the Lawe-Lawe terminal, from which IBU is the sole
supplier of natural gas to Balikpapan’s Pertamina Refinery. Meanwhile, oil and gas
production from the northern and deepwater fields are processed at the Santan
terminal. Natural gas is then transported to the world’s largest liquefied natural gas
2
(LNG) plant at Bontang, or supplied to petrochemical plants in the Kaltim Industrial
Estate.
Chevron IBU also explores for offshore oil and gas and holds interests in a number of
growing, non-operated working interests in the south Natuna sea block B and north
east Madura III block.
In Indonesia, Chevrons two geothermal projects in West Java, Salak and Darajat,
generate over 630MW of clean, reliable and affordable energy, which represents over
50% of the total geothermal production in Indonesia’s growing economy.
The Salak project is among the largest in the world with a total geothermal generation
capacity of 377 MW. In mid 2007, Chevron announced the start of commercial
production at the 110 MW Darajat III geothermal power plant - increasing the total
capacity of the Darajat facility to 259 MW
All the power from the Darajat site is supplied directly to the national grid. The
combined output from both geothermal operations produces enough renewable energy
to power up 3.9 million homes in Indonesia.
CGPHI operates steam fields that provide geothermal energy to the Tiwi and Makiling-
Banahaw (Mak-Ban) power plants located in Albay and Laguna-Batangas Provinces.
These facilities generate more than 630 megawatts and supply 7% of the electricity
requirement in Luzon, the country’s most populous island and home to 48 million
people.

steam-flooding and other enhanced recovery technologies to coax heavy oil from our
mature field. Technology also helps us to develop renewable forms of energy, such as
geothermal energy.
In 1970, Chevron began to apply water injection technology in Minas, the largest oil
field in Indonesia. Since then, the secret to the success of Minas has been “pattern
water-flooding”, or the injection of water into the reservoir to help push available oil to
the surface.
Water-injection technology serves two purposes: the pressure from water re-injected
into the reservoir increases oil production, while the elimination of water discharges
contributes to Chevron’s goal of maintaining its position as a leader environmental
performer in the oil and gas industry.
Chevron also operates the world’s largest steam-flooding project at Duri (the DSF),
which employs state-of-the-art technology to recover heavy crude oil from relatively
shallow reservoirs.
Steam flooding technology has significantly prolonged the life of the Duri Field, which
accounts for almost of Chevron’s production in Sumatra. On November 9, 2006 the
Duri Field recorded an important milestone with the production of its two billionth barrels
of oil.
None of our aspirations for the future can be met without a world-class workforce.
Getting the right people with the right skill on the right opportunities at the right times
remains a critical success factor for our plans.
We continuously strive to ensure that employees are positioned to achieve their goals
and grow with their careers through Chevron sponsored development program, many of
them in the United States. Well over 1,000 Indonesian employees, for example, have
completed US-base development assignment.
At the same time, Chevron's worldwide operations provide many opportunities for
employees to gain experience outside their home countries. Currently there are over 60
Indonesian employees on prestigious Chevron global workforce assignment in other
continents, including the Americas, Europe and Africa

Health, Environment and Safety
Protecting people and the environment, and conducting our operations reliably and
efficiently are an integral part of The Chevron Way. Chevron and its employees place
the highest priority on the health and safety of our workforce and protection of our
environment and assets. "Protecting the Future Today" is a policy and management
system which is aimed ensuring that IBU's business is conducted in a social
responsible and ethical manner.
In the environmental protection field, the company supports re-greening, natural park,
conservation area and many other environmental programs around the country.

In Indonesia, Chevron makes a real and tangible contribution to the education sector.
We have been running community engagement programs for communities living in the
vicinity of our operations ever since the 1950s. The first such initiative saw the handing
over of the very first high school in Pekanbaru on 8 October 1950. This school, now
known as State High School No.1, Pekanbaru, has developed into one of the most
popular schools in the region, and many of its alumni have gone on to occupy important
positions in the community and government. We also built and sponsored the Politeknik
Caltex Riau (PCR/Riau Caltex Polytechnic), one of the most prestigious higher
education institutions in Riau. We have also been active in improving the capabilities of
the Sakai community (indigenous tribe in Riau) by providing scholarships to Sakai
children.
In East Kalimantan, Chevron, in collaboration with the Panajam Paser Utara Education
Agency and the Marangkayu District office of education agency, has launched a school
development program (SDP) that it is hoped will lead to the emergence top-class
schools on a par with “national plus” schools so as to bring about a quantum leap in the
quality of education in the province.
In Yogyakarta and West Sumatra, we helped rebuild two elementary schools, SDN
Kalongan in Sleman regency and SDN 06 Aie Angek in Tanah Datar regency, which
were totally destroyed by the earthquakes in both area respectively. The school were
rebuilt based one a unique partnership model known as “sustainable reconstruction
recovery through partnership”. This partnership mechanism is based on creating a
sense of belonging among all the stakeholders so that the sustainability of the program
could be ensured. The local people, members of the school committee, parents of the
students as well as local government were actively involved in the school rebuilding
effort.
We support a range of different health services for local communities in our operating
areas, such as, providing medication & immunization, treating children with birth
defects, and providing clean water.
As for income generation programs, Chevron offers training in agriculture, fishing and
home industry, as well as providing assistance to businesses. In Garut, West Java, for
instance, we have contributed to community bodies that promote sheep breeding, duck
rearing and other livestock projects. Meanwhile, the Local Business Development
Program (LBDP) in Riau and the Community Development Enterprise Program (CDEP)
in East Kalimantan have successfully improved the capabilities of local small and
medium businesses and cooperatives.

US$15 million for immediate relief efforts, and to support rapid recovery and
reconstruction in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam and other tsunami-effected areas of
Indonesia through the delivery of increase economic growth, human capacity and
buildings programs covering education, vocational training and micro-enterprise and
small business development. One of the initiatives involved the establishment of a
polytechnic institution in Aceh, called the Politeknik Aceh, in partnership with the
Government of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam NAD), The Aceh-Nias Reconstruction and
Rehabilitation Agency (BRR) and the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID). The construction of Politeknik Aceh began in July 2007, with the
official opening expected to take place in August 2008.
Our dedication to collaboration and innovation supports our commitment to being the
partner of choice in the energy industry. As a result, our businesses in Indonesia
received several national awards in 2007, as in many previous years. Among these
were honours in the areas of employee career development, HIV-AIDS prevention,
worker safety, environmental protection an being the nation’s best and most admired
company.
