Chevron acquired Unocal more for the growth platform it
offered rather than for the cost savings potential. In fact,
cost savings from the merger, mainly arising from the elimination of duplicate facilities and services, and other synergies
were estimated to be only $325 million on a pre-tax basis.

Conclusion
The key challenges confronting Chevron are decline in its production rate and reserve replacement rates in recent years.
While some of the production challenges in 2005 were due to short-term reasons such as strong hurricanes in the Gulf of
Mexico region, the secular decline in production is due to fall in the production rates of its US assets.

However, the group is well positioned to address both challenges. It has a very strong exploration track record and a total
resource base of 62 bboe, of which 4.6 bboe was added in the last 3 years. After being below 100% for the past two
years, a return to replacement ratios higher than 100% within the next three years seems likely given the near term
additions to the reserves from projects such as Gorgon, Olokola LNG and Plataforma Deltana.

Chevron appears to be equally well positioned to address the lack of production growth and has committed to a 3%
growth per year until 2010. A strong pipeline of project slated to come on stream should help Chevron achieving this
target. Chevron is particularly well positioned to capture gas related opportunities in the Asian market.

As more production moves to politically unstable countries, Chevron, in common with its peers, faces added risks of
disruptions, production restrictions and higher taxes. In particular, the company has 20% of its liquids reserves in
Kazakhstan as of 2005. However besides TCO, the company's reserves are sufficiently well diversified with no single
property accounted for more than 5% of the company's total oil-equivalent proved reserves.
