Earnings Summary Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 Millions of Dollars 2002 2001 2002 2001 Operating Earnings Exploration and Production $1,258 $1,716 $2,399 $3,968 Refining, Marketing and Transportation 104 670 43 1,126 Chemicals and Other (129) (242) (278) (496) Total 1,233 2,144 2,164 4,598 Special Items (753) -- (827) -- Merger Effects (73) (36) (205) (57) Net Income $407 $2,108 $1,132 $4,541For the six-month period, net income was $1.132 billion ($1.07 per share - diluted), compared with $4.541 billion ($4.28 per share - diluted) in 2001. Operating earnings were $2.164 billion ($2.04 per share - diluted) in 2002, versus $4.598 billion ($4.33 per share - diluted) in 2001.
Net charges for special items in the 2002 second quarter totaled $753 million. Included were $531 million for the write-down of the company's investment in its Dynegy Inc. affiliate, $100 million for the company's share of Dynegy's own write-downs and other adjustments, and $122 million for environmental remediation costs and settlement of a litigation issue. Merger-related expenses reduced earnings $73 million in the 2002 quarter.
The $531 million special-item charge represented a write-down of the company's investment in Dynegy's common and preferred stock to its estimated fair value at June 30, 2002, as required under the applicable accounting rules. Further deterioration of the securities' fair value during July was not reflected in the second quarter charge.
The remaining book value of the company's investment in Dynegy at June 30, following the second quarter write-down, was approximately $2 billion. An additional charge to third quarter earnings may be required to the extent the fair value of the Dynegy securities at Sept. 30, 2002, is below the remaining $2 billion carrying value.
Commenting on Dynegy, Chairman and CEO Dave O'Reilly said, "Despite the partial write-down of our Dynegy investment in the second quarter, we are encouraged by Dynegy's ongoing efforts to improve liquidity, including its announcement yesterday to sell Northern Natural Gas Company. We support this and other actions Dynegy is undertaking to help restore investor confidence." O'Reilly indicated that besides ChevronTexaco's ownership in Dynegy, the two companies have commercial arrangements that include Dynegy's purchase of most of the natural gas and natural gas liquids produced by ChevronTexaco in the United States, as well as ChevronTexaco's purchase of the same commodities for its plant operations from Dynegy.
In other remarks on the quarter, O'Reilly said, "Operating earnings were significantly lower than the very strong results we had in last year's second quarter. In our upstream business this year, lower natural gas and crude oil prices were the primary factors reducing earnings. In our downstream sector, sharply lower refined product margins in the United States accounted for a large portion of the profit decline." O'Reilly said that downstream profits in the year-ago quarter also included $208 million associated with assets that were required to be sold as a condition of the October 2001 merger.
"A highly successful element in this year's quarter was the earnings contribution from synergies achieved following our merger last October," O'Reilly said. "We are pleased with the tremendous progress all of our businesses are making towards the $2.2 billion before-tax objective of synergy savings by early 2003."
Adding to his comments on the upstream sector, O'Reilly said that in the United States, the average natural gas realization dropped nearly 40 percent from the year-ago quarter to $3.04 per thousand cubic feet. Internationally, the decline was almost 20 percent to $1.94. The average U.S. crude oil and natural gas liquids realization was down about a dollar per barrel to $21.75. Internationally, the corresponding decline was 7 percent to about $23. Worldwide oil-equivalent production was down 1.6 percent from the second quarter 2001. Excluding the effects of OPEC-related quotas in both periods, production between quarters was essentially flat. On this same quota-adjusted basis, production for the first half of 2002 increased slightly more than one percent from the average for the full year 2001.
Commenting on the downstream sector, O'Reilly said, "Although improved from depressed levels early this year, refined product margins remain weak -- reflective of slowed world economies.
"Overcoming these difficult downstream market conditions, while enhancing upstream profits, are the key challenges to improving our overall operating earnings," O'Reilly said. "In this first year after the merger, our employees have successfully integrated all of our businesses, and I am optimistic for the future."
O'Reilly said an example of a highly successful integration effort was the company's oil and gas exploration program. In recent months, ChevronTexaco has announced discoveries in Angola, Nigeria and China, and has performed promising follow-up appraisal drilling at its Tahiti prospect in the Gulf of Mexico.
Second quarter 2002 revenues and other income were $25.3 billion, compared with $29.7 billion in the 2001 second quarter. Revenues and other income for the first six months of 2002 were $46.5 billion, versus $59.1 billion in the comparable 2001 period. Revenues declined in both periods, mainly on lower prices for crude oil, natural gas and refined products.
Foreign currency losses included in net income were $141 million, compared with losses of $20 million in the 2001 second quarter. In 2002, fluctuations of the U.S. dollar against the currencies of most other countries in which the company has significant operations resulted in losses, with the notable exception of the Argentine peso, which was permitted to float against the dollar earlier in the year. For the six-month period, foreign currency losses were $10 million, compared with gains of $67 million in 2001.
EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION U.S. Exploration and Production Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 Millions of Dollars 2002 2001 2002 2001 Operating Earnings $548 $884 $852 $2,197 Special Items (12) -- (12) -- Segment Income $536 $884 $840 $2,197U.S. exploration and production operating earnings of $548 million in the 2002 quarter declined mainly due to significantly lower natural gas realizations, lower liquids realizations and a decline in oil-equivalent production. The average natural gas realization for the quarter was $3.04 per thousand cubic feet, compared with $4.80 in the year-ago period. The average liquids realization was down about 5 percent to $21.75 per barrel. Partially offsetting these unfavorable earnings impacts were lower operating and exploration expenses.
Net oil-equivalent production declined 3 percent from last year's second quarter. The net liquids production component was up 2 percent to 627,000 barrels per day. Net natural gas production averaged 2.504 billion cubic feet per day, down 10 percent from the 2001 period. Drilling and production were accelerated in 2001 to take advantage of the favorable natural gas price environment.
The second quarter 2002 special charge was for environmental remediation costs.
International Exploration and Production Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 Millions of Dollars 2002 2001 2002 2001 Operating Earnings $710 $832 $1,547 $1,771 Special Items -- -- -- -- Segment Income $710 $832 $1,547 $1,771International exploration and production earnings of $710 million declined about 15 percent, mostly the result of lower realizations and higher depreciation expense. These effects were partially offset by lower exploration expense.
Net oil-equivalent production was essentially unchanged from the year-ago period. The net liquids production component declined about 4 percent to 1,293,000 barrels per day. Production was lower in Indonesia, primarily related to changes in contractual terms. In Nigeria, production declined as a result of OPEC-related curtailments. The effect of OPEC quotas on Nigerian production in the 2002 quarter was 45,000 barrels per day, versus having no effect in the corresponding 2001 period. Production under certain operating service agreements, which are not included in net working interest production statistics, was also curtailed approximately 20,000 barrels per day in this year's second quarter, compared to about 10,000 barrels per day in the year-ago period. Net natural gas production increased 15 percent to 1.932 billion cubic feet per day. New production from the Philippines, along with higher production in several other countries, contributed to the increase.
Earnings for the quarter included net foreign currency losses of $62 million, compared with losses of $33 million in 2001. Currency losses in several countries, particularly Venezuela and Canada, were partially offset by gains attributable to the weakening of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar.
REFINING, MARKETING AND TRANSPORTATION U.S. Refining, Marketing and Transportation Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 Millions of Dollars 2002 2001 2002 2001 Operating Earnings (Loss) $ 56 $531 $ (98) $720 Special Items (86) -- (86) -- Segment (Loss) Income $(30) $531 $(184) $720U.S. refining, marketing and transportation operating earnings of $56 million declined from $531 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was mainly due to significantly lower margins for refined products and the absence in 2002 of $208 million in earnings from assets that were sold under mandate of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission as a condition of the merger. The effect of lower gross margins was partially offset by lower operating expenses.
The quarter's average refined product sales realization decreased 15 percent to $33.91 per barrel. Refined product sales volumes, excluding the company's share of Equilon and Motiva in the 2001 period, decreased 3 percent to 1,681,000 barrels per day, primarily due to a decline in sales of jet and marine fuels. Branded gasoline sales volumes increased about 4 percent to 588,000 barrels per day from the year-ago quarter.
Special items in 2002 were for environmental remediation costs and settlement of a litigation issue.
International Refining, Marketing and Transportation Three Months Six Months Ended June 30 Ended June 30 Millions of Dollars 2002 2001 2002 2001 Operating Earnings $48 $139 $141 $406 Special Items -- -- -- -- Segment Income $48 $139 $141 $406International refining, marketing and transportation earnings of $48 million declined due to lower overall refined product margins and lower freight rates for the international shipping operations. Margins declined in the Asia-Pacific and European areas of operations but improved slightly in Latin America. Total refined products sales volumes decreased 10 percent to 2,210,000 barrels per day, primarily the result of lower demand for jet fuel and residual fuel oil.
Earnings in the 2002 quarter included foreign currency losses of $102 million, compared with gains of $6 million in 2001. Currency losses in 2002 occurred mainly in Brazil, New Zealand, Australia, Korea and the United Kingdom.

Net charges before special items and merger effects were $165 million, compared to $269 million in the year-ago quarter. Lower income tax expense and corporate charges were partially offset by a decline in the company's share of Dynegy's operating earnings. Foreign currency gains were $21 million, versus $8 million in the 2001 quarter.
Special items in the 2002 quarter included charges of $531 million for the write-down of the company's investment in Dynegy, $100 million for the company's share of Dynegy's own write-downs and other adjustments, and $24 million for environmental remediation costs.
CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES
Capital and exploratory expenditures totaled $4.3 billion for six months 2002, compared with $5.1 billion in 2001. Expenditures in 2002 included the acquisition of assets previously leased and an additional investment in Dynegy common stock. In 2001, expenditures included the acquisition of an additional 5 percent interest in the Tengizchevroil affiliate and higher development spending in the Gulf of Mexico related to natural gas production.
