Highlights of operations

Chevron is one of the largest investors in the Philippines, with more than $2 billion in capital
investments.
We market Caltex fuels, lubricants and other petroleum products. Our network of service
stations, terminals and sales offices forms the backbone of our presence in the Philippines.
Chevrons geothermal operations in the Philippines help make us one of the worlds leading
producers of geothermal energy. Through a joint venture, we operate steam fields that use heat
from the earth to provide power to plants that serve key population centers in the country. Our
innovations have helped make the Philippines the second-largest producer of geothermal energy
in the world, after the United States.
Chevron holds an interest in the Malampaya gas-to-power project, the first natural gas
development and largest industrial project in the Philippines.
From the Philippines, we provide operational support for Chevron offices on five continents. The
workforce supplies transactional, processing and consulting services in areas ranging from
finance to information technology.
Business portfolio
Chevron operates through five subsidiaries in the Philippines. Our upstream companies are
Chevron Malampaya LLC, Chevron Geothermal Services Company and Chevron Kalinga Ltd.
Our downstream company is Chevron Philippines Inc. We also operate a business processes
support organization through Chevron Holdings Inc.
Exploration and production
The Malampaya gas-to-power project opened the door to the natural gas industry in the
Philippines. The Malampaya natural gas field lies about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of the
Philippine island of Palawan. Chevron holds a 45 percent nonoperated working interest in the
field. In 2015, net daily production averaged 122 million cubic feet of natural gas and 3,000
barrels of condensate.
Produced from fields at water depths of about 2,800 feet (853 m), the gas is transported 314
miles (505 km) through subsea pipelines from an offshore platform to the Batangas onshore
natural gas plant on the main island of Luzon. Once treated, the gas is transported via overland
pipelines to three power plants designed to generate a total of 2,700 megawatts of power. The
Malampaya Phase 2 Project was completed in September 2015. The infill wells and compression
facilities have maintained production and delivered contracted volumes to customers.
Geothermal
Chevron has a 40 percent interest in Philippine Geothermal Production Company, Inc. (PGPC).
PGPC develops and produces steam energy for the third-party-owned and -operated Tiwi and
Mak-Ban geothermal power plants in southern Luzon. They have a combined generating
capacity of 692 megawatts. Chevron also has an interest in the Kalinga geothermal prospect area
in northern Luzon.

Marketing and retail

Chevron has nearly 700 Caltex service stations in the Philippines. We sell a range of petroleum
products, including Caltex with Techron gasoline, Caltex Diesel with Techron D, kerosene
and jet fuel.
Chevron has 20 supply facilities in the Philippines, including major terminals and depots. Our
import terminal in San Pascual, Batangas, forms the hub of our transportation and supply
operations in the Philippines. Chevron also provides jet fuel for airlines at Ninoy Aquino
International Airport.
Chevron also markets Delo and Havoline lubricants and coolants, along with other
lubricating oils and greases, through distributors to consumer, commercial and industrial
customers.
Operational support
Chevron Holdings Inc. provides office support for various Chevron companies around the world.
Areas of support include finance and accounting, human resources, information technology,
customer relations, and procurement. The company provides services to Chevron entities in
Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, Australia, Europe and North America.
In the community
Chevron works to improve the social and economic well-being of communities where we
operate. We support programs focused on basic human needs, education and training, business
development, and the environment.
Disaster relief
Chevrons companies in the Philippines donate funds to various disaster relief efforts in the
country. Our employees and contractors also contribute their own time and money to disaster
relief.
In November 2013, immediately following Typhoon Haiyan, Chevron donated $1.5 million to
the Philippine Red Cross to rehabilitate affected areas. Our subsidiaries, affiliates and employees
in the Philippines made additional donations totaling approximately $70,000.
In 2012, we launched Metro Weather, a public-private partnership that created a network of 30
automated weather station (AWS) units in Metro Manila. They provide free, real-time weather
data to help people prepare for severe weather conditions, such as tropical cyclones and severe
flooding. Chevron provided the financial, technical and infrastructure resources by hosting the
AWS units at select Caltex stations. This pioneering initiative is led by Chevron in partnership
with the Metro Manila Development Authority, the Manila Observatory, Globe Telecom and
Ateneo de Manila University.
Education and training
At Chevron, we believe that education is an important factor in the economic growth and wellbeing of the communities where we operate.
Energy for Learning is a long-term initiative by Chevron and our Caltex retail brand that
aims to expose people to new information, new skills and different ways of thinking. In

partnership with local communities, governments and nonprofit groups, Chevron provides school
supplies and refurbishes libraries and other school facilities.
The Caltex Fuel Your School program was launched in the Philippines in 2015. The program was
honored with awards from the American Chamber Foundation of the Philippines and from the
Public Relations Society of the Philippines. An estimated 600 teachers, 3,000 10th-grade
students and 102,200 students from succeeding levels in Metro Manilas highest-need public
schools have benefited from the program. Other educational programs we support include:

Scholarships for 700 gifted high school and college students in need
The Malampaya Foundation Inc., which provides 70 college scholarships and 950
vocational scholarships
The Brigada Eskwela (School Brigade), a repair and cleaning program of the Department
of Education that serves various public schools in the Philippines

Caltex also partners with various nonprofit groups to create skills training programs that offer job
placement to trainees within six months to one year after they earn their certification. We work
with the Don Bosco Pugad Foundation, which started the Manna From Heaven training bakery
and bakeshop program, as well as its spinoff project, the Coffee & Saints Caf, which teaches
boys culinary and restaurant management skills. Our latest partnership resulted in the CaltexPugad Mobile Mechanics, a service that brings skilled mechanics right to customers.
Economic development
In the Philippines, Chevron supports programs that assist small businesses and offer training in
agriculture, fisheries and home industries.
In Kalinga Province, Chevron partnered with Kalinga Apayao State College to train members of
the community and help provide access to markets for local products such as coffee, macadamia
nuts, unoy (red rice), oranges and traditional crafts. Through the United People of Kalinga
Enterprise Enhancement Program, we work with our partners to promote indigenous knowledge
through sustainable enterprise development.
Caring for the environment
In January 2014, Chevron employees witnessed the results of their environmental stewardship
when 69 olive ridley sea turtle eggs hatched on a beach adjacent to Chevrons Batangas
Terminal. More than 600 employees, Caltex retailers, business partners, teachers and students
cleaned the beach of trash and debris, which revealed a nest containing 110 turtle eggs. We
worked closely with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and wildlife experts
to move the nest to drier ground, where the turtles hatched, then made their way to the sea.
Chevron has since created a sea turtle encounter training program for employees, contractors and
visitors.
Chevron is collaborating with the Cabiokid Foundation, Inc., the Tiwi local government and the
Department of Education to establish a model farm to train teachers, students and parents in
sustainable agricultural technologies.
We support the Malampaya Foundation Inc., which helped local communities implement
effective coastal resource management plans. In 2014, 17 conservation agreements were signed
throughout the provinces of Palawan and Oriental Mindoro.

Record of achievement
For nearly a century, Chevrons investments and operations in the Philippines have made
important contributions to developing the countrys energy and petroleum industry.
Some of our pioneering achievements include:

First American oil marketer, in 1917

First geothermal developer in partnership with the Philippine government, in 1971
First multinational regional-business-operations support office recognized by the
Philippine government, in 1998
Among the first natural gas developers as part of the Malampaya Deepwater Gas to
Power Project Consortium, in 1999

Chevron started working in the Philippines in 1917, when The Texas Co.later Texacobegan
marketing its products through a local distributor. Texaco Philippines was formally established in
1921 and opened an office in Manila.
In 1936, a joint venture between The Texas Co. and Chevron predecessor Standard Oil Co. of
California created Caltex, which then took over marketing operations in the Philippines.
Eleven years later, Caltex converted its Pandacan warehouse depot in Manila into its first
distribution terminal in the Philippines.
In 1954, Caltex inaugurated the Batangas Refinery at San Pascual, the first petroleum refinery in
the Philippines. In 2003, this refinery was converted into a finished-import terminal, with a
storage capacity of at least 2.5 million barrels.
In 1971, Chevron Geothermal Philippines Holdings, Inc., partnered with the Philippine
government to pioneer the commercial development of geothermal resources in the Philippines.
Chevron established Chevron Holdings Inc. in 1998.
In 2001, Chevron Malampaya LLC, together with the other members of the project consortium,
delivered the countrys first commercial gas supplies to two power generation plants. With a total
capacity of 2,200 megawatts, the supply meets approximately 30 percent of the countrys power
needs. Another 500-megawatt gas power plant came on line in 2002.
Economy
The Malampaya deepwater gas-to-power project is a significant source of revenue for the
Philippines. It supports the governments economic development programs and provides a
reliable source of energy on the main island of Luzon.
Chevrons natural gas and geothermal projects reduce the countrys dependence on imported fuel
through the use of clean, indigenous and reliable energy. These projects combined capacity of
more than 3,300 megawatts supplies approximately 40 percent of Luzons power needs.
