Chevron Corporation 2016 Annual Report 29Th Consecutive Year 2016 Marked the 29Th Consecutive Year We Increased the Annual Per-Share Dividend Payout 2016 annual report positioned for the future As the average annual crude oil price hit a 10-year low, 2016 presented significant challenges for the oil and gas industry. In response, Chevron took action to improve our free cash flow with tighter spending and with additional revenue from expected production growth. We are committed to becoming cash balanced in 2017, and today we stand well positioned to meet that objective. Chevron’s portfolio is built upon a strong and diverse set of assets around the globe. In the Upstream sector, our asset classes comprise conventional and unconventional crude oil and natural gas, heavy oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and deepwater assets. Our Upstream portfolio includes premier LNG assets in Australia; legacy crude oil assets in Kazakhstan; strong unconventional assets in the United States, Canada and Argentina; and excellent deepwater assets in Nigeria, Angola and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. In addition, our world-class Downstream and Chemicals business is focused on growing higher-return segments, including petrochemicals, lubricants and additives.

  • Country Analysis Brief: Kazakhstan
    Country Analysis Brief: Kazakhstan Last Updated: May 10, 2017 Overview Kazakhstan, an oil producer since 1911, has the second-largest oil reserves and the second-largest oil production among the former Soviet republics after Russia. Kazakhstan is a major oil producer. The country’s estimated total petroleum and other liquids production was 1.698 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2016. The key to its continued growth in liquids production from this level is the development of its giant Tengiz, Karachaganak, and Kashagan fields. Development of additional export capacity will also be necessary for production growth. Although Kazakhstan became an oil producer in 1911, its production did not increase to a meaningful level until the 1960s and 1970s, when production plateaued at nearly 500,000 b/d, a pre-Soviet independence record production level. Since the mid-1990s, and with the help of major international oil companies, Kazakhstan's production first exceeded 1 million b/d in 2003. Oil field development in Kazakhstan reached two milestones in 2016. In October 2016, the giant Kashagan field resumed production after years of delays. Kashagan is expected to produce 370,000 b/d of liquids at full capacity. Additionally, in July 2016, The Tengizchevroil consortium decided to proceed with expansion plans that should increase liquids production at the Tengiz project by about 260,000 b/d beginning in 2022. Kazakhstan is landlocked and is far from international oil markets. The lack of access to the open ocean makes the country dependent mainly on pipelines to transport its hydrocarbons to world markets. Kazakhstan is also a transit country for oil and natural gas pipeline exports to China.

  • 1 the Implementation of Multiphase Meters in a High Sulphur
    The Implementation of Multiphase Meters in a High Sulphur Environment on TCO’s Tengiz Field, Kazakhstan Authors: John Clarke, Chevron, Kelda Dinsdale, Roxar, Emerson Process Management, Lars Anders Ruden, Roxar, Emerson Process Management Co-authors: Ståle Gjervik, Roxar, Emerson Process Management, Frode Hugo Aase, Roxar, Emerson Process Management, Sturle Haaland, Roxar, Emerson Process Management, Stig M. Sigdestad, Roxar, Emerson Process Management 1. Overview High hydrogen sulfide (H2S) levels within multiphase flow are a frequent point of discussion relating to multiphase meter performance. This paper will show how the Roxar Multiphase meter from Emerson Process Management is operating reliably and accurately in areas of high H2S concentrations on TCO’s Tengiz field. The paper will examine the technical challenges seen – in particular unstable mixed density measurements and extreme fluctuations of daytime to nighttime and winter to summer ambient temperatures. It will examine how these challenges have been overcome and the long-term collaboration over the field’s lifecycle between TCO and Emerson. The result - in the words of TCO – is a “world-class multiphase metering environment.” 2. The Operator & The Field Tengizchevroil LLP (TCO) was formed between the Republic of Kazakhstan and Chevron Corporation in 1993 to explore and develop the super-giant Tengiz Oil Field, discovered in 1979. The Tengiz Field (see figure 1) is among the top 10 producing fields in the world. It covers 565 square kilometers. Today, the Tengiz Oil Field is one of the world's deepest developed oil fields, with the oil column measuring one mile thick. The field has recoverable reserves estimated at between six billion and nine billion barrels.

BAKER III INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC POLICY RICE UNIVERSITY – APRIL 1998 PETROLEUM AMBASSADORS OF RUSSIA: STATE VERSUS CORPORATE POLICY IN THE CASPIAN REGION Introduction The collapse of the Soviet Union has opened up a vast and exciting new oil play stretching from the Caucasus to the deserts of Central Asia. Still relatively unexplored, the Caspian region may hold oil reserves as large as 140 billion barrels of oil. By the year 2015, production is forecast to reach between 2-million and 4-million barrels a day of which, at least 75% will be available for export. Almost every large oil company and many smaller ones want to participate in the development of the Caspian, which will act as an important counterbalance to Middle East dominance of world markets in the next century and could fundamentally alter traditional patterns of international oil and gas trade. Newcomers to the region will have to compete with Russian entities that, to a certain extent, regard the area as both economically and politically theirs by right. Inevitably, competition for Caspian oil resources will be played out as part of a broader struggle for control and influence over the post-Soviet space, regardless of the degree of commercial orientation of Russian and international oil and gas corporations exploring in the region.

During these challenging times we are all experiencing, it has never been more important to keep the Caspian oil and gas industry connected. The last six months have exposed a number of challenging issues across governments and industries and with this in mind we have adapted to a virtual format this year. Despite this change, we endeavor to provide the same high-quality content and inclusive learning experience you’d receive from our in-person event. The industry has demonstrated resilience to overcoming low oil prices and technological challenges by transforming them into sustainable opportunities. The special focus of the CTC this year will be on disseminating the existing, emerging, and future social, economic and educational needs for the oil and gas sector. Experts will discuss tangible approaches on how oil and gas companies can make organisational, cultural and structural changes, simplifying and localising supply chains, reinventing themselves and putting the purpose and impact at the heart of their activities. Themed as ‘Competing on a Global Scale: Creating the Right Environment’, the event will present a high quality peer-reviewed technical programme consisting of an Opening Ceremony, Investor and Operator panel discussions, 2 x keynote panels and 12+ technical sessions.
