Our world depends on clean natural gas to help meet growing energy needs. The International Energy Agency estimates gas use will grow over 50 percent through 2035, with demand in Asian economies especially strong. Developing more of this abundant and efcient resource is critical to help fuel the global economy, curb carbon emissions and enhance the quality of life worldwide. Chevron: Your Natural Gas Partner Chevron is an established, global leader in integrated, multi-partner natural gas projects, with multi-billion dollar developments under way in Africa, Australia, China, Indonesia, North America, Vietnam and other locations. We produce approximately 5 billion cubic feet per day from projects onshore and offshore, tight formations, and shale and we are a recognized leader in safely developing deep, high-pressure, high-temperature and sour reservoirs. Our operations supply pipeline gas to industry, power plants and consumers worldwide. By 2020 we will be one of the largest producers of liqueed natural gas (LNG) in the world and a major LNG shipper. Were also developing a major gas-to-liquids project in Nigeria. Today more than ever, successful natural gas developments require a clear focus on the entire value chain. Through our upstream and technology businesses, we offer world-class capability in exploration and resource development. Our Gas and Midstream organization links the wellhead to the marketplace with expert teams devoted to gas commercialization and marketing, shipping, pipelines, and power generation. Chevrons global commitment to the disciplined application of our Operational Excellence Management System ensures that every project maintains a constant focus on safety for employees, contractors and neighbors. Our culture and processes ensure that our facilities are designed and operated to deliver reliable supplies of clean natural gas safely and efciently, while protecting people and the environment. Fueling generations to come with natural gas requires nancially strong, experienced companies with superior technology and a commitment to safety and environmental stewardship. Most of all, natural gas development requires a focus on mutually benecial partnerships with host countries, customers, industry and local communities and a commitment to shared investment in a secure energy future. A proven partner and performer, Chevron sees tremendous opportunities for protable natural gas development throughout the world.

In Australia, Chevron is the operator of the giant Gorgon and Wheatstone LNG and domestic natural gas projects, which are posi- tioning Australia to become one of the worlds largest LNG exporters and a key, long-term energy partner to Asian economies. Representing a combined capital investment of $66 billion, with the initial phases designed to export around 24 million tons of LNG per year. Anchored by long-term supply contracts with Japan and other key Asian markets, the projects are expected to tap tens of trillions of cubic feet of offshore reserves, create thousands of jobs, help drive the regional economy and contribute billions of dollars in revenue to the government in the decades ahead. We continue to explore for new gas supplies offshore, employing state-of-the-art subsurface mapping technologies to pinpoint and evaluate targets and new elds, drilling more than one dozen major discoveries since 2009. Were also a partner in the North West Shelf Venture, which has exported LNG since 1989. Focused on the full natural gas value chain, Chevron is a proven, long-term partner in gas development. We combine exploration, development, transportation and market strategies to nd new resources and ensure long-term project stability and growth potential. Gas and Midstream | 5 In other parts of Asia-Pacic, weve become the largest gas producer in Thailand, and our Platong II project, started up in 2011, will increase the countrys gas pro- duction by 10 percent. Chevron is also the largest gas producer in Bangladesh, fueling that nations power plants. Were applying our expertise in sour gas development to Chinas Chuandongbei project, and in Vietnam, were working to develop offshore elds to supply needed gas for power. The Gendalo-Gehem deepwater gas project in Indonesia is expected to support both LNG exports and domestic supply. In North America, Chevron is a top U.S. natural gas supplier, marketer and pipeline operator, producing around 1.3 billion cubic feet per day from California, Colorado, Texas, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and other areas. Were a leader in deep- water gas development in the Gulf of Mexico; deep gas exploration and produc- tion on the Gulf of Mexico shelf; and safe production and processing of sour gas. Our company is a major developer of natural gas from the vast Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian region and is exploring for shale gas on more than 250,000 acres in western Canada. In Africa, were partnering with Sonangol on the development of the rst LNG export project in Angola. This complex of offshore and onshore facilities is reducing gas aring, optimizing gas-enhanced oil production and increasing gas commercialization. In Nigeria, weve had upstream operations for more than 50 years. Currently, Chevron supplies gas domestically and also to neighboring countries through the West Africa Gas Pipeline. In 2013, we expect to start up our 33,000 barrel-per-day Escravos gas-to-liquids plant. In Latin America, Chevron is the top natural gas producer in Colombia, with more than 640 million cubic feet of daily production, and has interests in producing gas elds offshore Trinidad and Tobago.
