At Chevron, we recognize the world needs all the energy we can develop, in every potential form. We’re managing our energy portfolio to deliver that energy — and to create growth and value for our stockholders, our customers, our business partners and the communities where we do business. The energy portfolio CONVENTIONAL UNCONVENTIONAL EMERGING EFFICIENT HUMAN ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY 6 8 10 12 14 TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS 2006 was an exceptional year for our company. We continued to deliver value to our stockholders and to make strategic investments that will drive sustained, superior performance over the long term. We reported record net income of $17.1 billion on sales and other operating revenues of approximately $205 billion. For the year, total stockholder return was 33.8 percent, which was more than double the rate of return delivered by the S&P 500. Return on capital employed was a strong 22.6 percent. We continued to return cash to stock- holders through our stock buyback program, purchasing $5 billion worth of shares in the open market, and we increased our annual dividend for the 19th year in a row. We are committed to exercising the capital discipline necessary to balance current returns with investments for future profi table growth. DELIVERING RESULTS :: We completed the successful integration of Unocal after acquiring the company in 2005 and reached a number of milestones for our major capital projects, including fi rst production at fi elds in Angola, Azerbaijan, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom. Overall, we increased year-over-year produc- tion volumes by nearly 6 percent. Our exploration program in 2006 was outstanding, refl ecting the discipline and effi ciency of our processes. We announced a number of discoveries, most notably in Australia, Nigeria and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We achieved our fi fth successful year of exploration results and added more than 1 billion barrels of potentially recoverable oil and gas resources. In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, we completed the Jack well phases of many of these key projects.
