DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
General
The 3.450% Notes due 2012, referred to as the "2012 notes," the 3.950% Notes due 2014, referred to as the
"2014 notes," and the 4.950% Notes due 2019, referred to as the "2019 notes," are being issued under an
Indenture dated as of June 15, 1995 between Chevron and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as successor
to The Bank of New York, as trustee. Provisions of the indenture are more fully described under "Description of
the Indentures," commencing on page 6 of the accompanying prospectus. The 2012 notes, the 2014 notes and
the 2019 notes, referred to collectively as the "notes," originally will be issued in fully registered book-entry form
and each series of notes will be represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of The
Depository Trust Company, as depository, or its nominee. Upon any exchange under the provisions of the
indenture of the global notes for notes in definitive form, such definitive notes shall be issued in authorized
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
The 2012 notes will mature on March 3, 2012, the 2014 notes will mature on March 3, 2014 and the 2019 notes
will mature on March 3, 2019. Interest on the notes will accrue from March 3, 2009 and will be payable on
September 3, 2009 and on each March 3 and September 3 thereafter. Interest on each note will be computed on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Payments of interest and principal on the notes will be
made to the persons in whose name the notes are registered on the date which is fifteen days prior to the relevant
payment date. As long as the notes are in the form of global notes, all payments of principal and interest on the
notes will be made by the trustee to the depository or its nominee in immediately available funds.

Redemption
Chevron has the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to the
greater of


(1) 100% of the principal amount of the notes of that series being redeemed, and

(2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not
including the portion of any such payments of interest accrued as of the redemption date), discounted to

the redemption date on a semiannual basis at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as hereinafter defined), plus
interest accrued on the notes being redeemed to the redemption date. The redemption price is
calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
"Adjusted Treasury Rate" is to be determined on the third business day preceding the redemption date and
means

(1) the arithmetic mean of the yields under the heading "Week Ending" published in the Statistical Release
(as hereinafter defined) most recently published prior to the date of determination under the caption

"Treasury Constant Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the
remaining term, as of the redemption date, of the notes of that series being redeemed, plus


(2) 0.30%.
If no maturity set forth under such heading exactly corresponds to the remaining term of the notes of that series
being redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the remaining term of the
notes of that series being redeemed will be calculated as described in the preceding sentence, and the Adjusted
Treasury Rate will be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding each of the
relevant periods to the nearest month.
"Statistical Release" means the statistical release designation "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is
published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively-traded United States
government securities adjusted to constant maturities, or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of
any determination under the terms of the notes, then such other reasonably comparable index as Chevron shall
designate.
Chevron will mail notice of any redemption to each holder of notes to be redeemed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date.
Unless Chevron defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will
cease to accrue on the notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Book-Entry System
The notes of each series will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered global notes which will be
deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC.
Except as hereinafter set forth, the notes will be available for purchase in book-entry form only. The term
"depository" as used in this prospectus supplement refers to DTC or any successor depository.
Investors may hold interests in the global notes either through DTC or through Clearstream Banking, société
anonyme, or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System if they are participants in such
systems, or indirectly through organizations which are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear
will hold interests on behalf of their participants through

customers' securities accounts in Clearstream's and Euroclear's names on the books of their respective
depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers' securities accounts in the depositaries' names on
the books of DTC. Citibank, N.A. will act as depositary for Clearstream and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will act
as depositary for Euroclear.
Neither Chevron nor the trustee will have any responsibility, obligation or liability to any participant, to any
indirect participant or to any beneficial owner with respect to


· the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC, Cede & Co., any participant or any indirect participant,

· the payment by DTC or any participant or indirect participant of any amount with respect to the principal

of or interest on the notes,

· any notice which is permitted or required to be given to registered owners of notes under the indenture

or

· any consent given or other action taken by DTC as the registered owner of the notes, or by participants

as assignees of DTC as the registered owner of each issue of notes.
Euroclear and Clearstream are indirect participants in DTC.
The Depository Trust Company
DTC has advised Chevron as follows: DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York
Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the
Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code
and a "clearing agency" registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds
securities that its participants deposit with DTC and facilitates the settlement among participants of securities
transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry
changes in participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates.
Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other
organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. DTCC is the
holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of
which are registered agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC
system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. Persons who are
not participants may beneficially own securities held by the depository only through direct or indirect participants.
DTC also advises that pursuant to procedures established by it, upon deposit by Chevron of the global notes
with DTC or its custodian, DTC or its nominee will credit, on its internal system, the respective principal amounts
of the notes represented by such global notes to the accounts of direct participants. The accounts to be credited
will be designated by the underwriters. Ownership of beneficial interests in notes represented by the global notes
will be limited to participants or persons that hold interests through participants. Ownership of such beneficial
interests in notes will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records
maintained by the depository (with respect to interests of direct participants), or by direct and indirect participants
or persons that may hold interests through such participants (with respect to persons other than participants).
So long as the depository or its nominee is the registered owner of a global note, the depository or its nominee,
as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented

thereby for all purposes under the indenture. Except as hereinafter provided, owners of beneficial interests in the
global notes will not be entitled to have the notes represented by a global note registered in their names, will not
receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such notes in definitive form and will not be considered the
owners or holders thereof under the indenture. Unless and until a global note is exchanged in whole or in part for
individual certificates evidencing the notes represented thereby, such global note may not be transferred except
as a whole by the depository to a nominee of the depository or by a nominee of the depository to the depository or
another nominee of the depository or by the depository or any nominee of the depository to a successor
depository or any nominee of such successor depository.
Payments of principal of and interest on the notes represented by a global note will be made to the depository
or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the notes. Chevron has been informed by DTC
that, upon receipt of any payment on the global notes, DTC's practice is to credit participants' accounts on the
payment date therefor with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the notes
represented by the global notes as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. Payments by participants to
owners of beneficial interests in the notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is
now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name."
Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.
Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect participants and
certain banks, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in notes represented by the global notes to
pledge such interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in
respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing such interest.
Chevron will recognize DTC or its nominee as the sole registered owner of the notes for all purposes, including
notices and consents. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to participants, by participants to
indirect participants, and by participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by
arrangements among them, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to
time.
So long as the notes are outstanding in the form of global notes registered in the name of DTC or its nominee
Cede & Co.,


· all payments of interest on and principal of the notes shall be delivered only to DTC or Cede & Co.;

· all notices delivered by Chevron or the trustee pursuant to the indenture shall be delivered only to DTC

or Cede & Co. and

· all rights of the registered owners of notes under the indenture, including, without limitation, voting rights,

rights to approve, waive or consent, and rights to transfer and exchange notes, shall be rights of DTC or
Cede & Co.
The beneficial owners of the notes must rely on the participants or indirect participants for timely payments and
notices and for otherwise making available to the beneficial owner rights of a registered owner. No assurance can
be provided that in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of DTC, a participant or an indirect participant through
which a beneficial owner holds interests in the notes, payment will be made by DTC, such participant or such
indirect participant on a timely basis.
The DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More
information about DTC can found at www.dtcc.com.

Table of Contents
If the depository is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository and a successor depository is not
appointed by Chevron within 90 days, Chevron will issue individual notes in definitive form in exchange for the
global notes. In addition, Chevron may at any time and in its sole discretion determine not to have the notes in the
form of a global security, and, in such event, Chevron will issue individual notes in definitive form in exchange for
the global notes. In either instance, Chevron will issue notes in definitive form, equal in aggregate principal
amount to the global notes, in such names and in such principal amounts as the depository shall direct. Notes so
issued in definitive form will be issued as fully registered notes in denominations of $2,000 or any amount in
excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000.
Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
Clearstream has advised Chevron that it is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Luxembourg.
Clearstream holds securities for its customers and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities
transactions between its customers through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its customers, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream provides to its customers, among other
things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and
securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Clearstream
is regulated as a bank in Luxembourg, and as such, is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for
the Supervision of the Financial Sector. Clearstream customers are recognized financial institutions around the
world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others,
such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
Clearstream customer either directly or indirectly. Distributions with respect to notes held beneficially through
Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream customers in accordance with its rules and
procedures, to the extent received by Clearstream.
Euroclear System
The Euroclear System has advised Chevron that it was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of
Euroclear and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear participants through simultaneous electronic
book-entry delivery against payment, thus eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and risk from
lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Euroclear provides various other services, including
securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries generally similar to the
arrangements for cross-market transfers with DTC.
Euroclear is operated by the Euroclear Operator under a contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C., a
Belgian cooperative corporation, or the "Euroclear Clearance System." The Euroclear Operator conducts all
operations, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the
Euroclear Operator, not Euroclear Clearance System. The Euroclear Clearance System establishes policy for
Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks),
securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters or
one or more of their affiliates. Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly. Euroclear is an indirect
DTC participant.
The Euroclear Operator is a Belgian bank, which is regulated and examined by the Belgian Banking and
Finance Commission and the National Bank of Belgium.
