“Our second quarter earnings were down from the very strong level of a year ago,” said Chairman and CEO John Watson. “The decrease was largely due to softer market conditions for crude oil and refined products. Earnings were also reduced as a result of repair and maintenance activities in our U.S. refineries.”
“We continue to advance our major capital projects. An important milestone was achieved in the second quarter with the loading of the first cargo of liquefied natural gas at the Angola LNG project, one of the largest energy projects on the African continent.” Watson continued, “This marks an important step in the development of our LNG business. Additional LNG growth is expected in the coming years from our Gorgon and Wheatstone projects in Australia.”

Other recent upstream milestones include:
Argentina - Signed an agreement advancing the development of shale oil and natural gas resources from the Vaca Muerta formation.
Brazil - Awarded participation in a deepwater block in the Ceará Basin.
Canada - Announced agreement to acquire additional, complementary acreage in the Duvernay Shale located in western Canada.
Kurdistan Region of Iraq - Announced the acquisition of an 80 percent interest and operatorship of the Qara Dagh Block.
United States - Announced a joint development agreement for additional Permian Basin acreage and access to related infrastructure.    
“We also reached milestones on important growth investments in our downstream business,” said Watson. GS Caltex, the company's 50 percent-owned joint venture, started commercial operations of its newest heavy oil upgrading unit at the Yeosu Refinery three months ahead of schedule. With this unit on-stream, GS Caltex is one of the largest upgraders of heavy oil in South Korea. In addition, Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC, the company's 50 percent-owned affiliate, announced plans to expand annual ethylene production by 200 million pounds at its Sweeny complex in Old Ocean, Texas.
The company purchased $1.25 billion of its common stock in the second quarter 2013 under its share repurchase program.
UPSTREAM
Worldwide net oil-equivalent production was 2.58 million barrels per day in the second quarter 2013, down from 2.62 million barrels per day in the 2012 second quarter. Production increases from project ramp-ups in the United States and a project start-up in Angola were more than offset by normal field declines.

U.S. upstream earnings of $1.08 billion in the second quarter 2013 were down $235 million from a year earlier, due to higher operating and depreciation expenses, and lower crude oil production. Lower crude oil realizations were mostly offset by higher natural gas realizations.
The company’s average sales price per barrel of crude oil and natural gas liquids was $92 in the second quarter 2013, down from $97 a year ago. The average sales price of natural gas was $3.78 per thousand cubic feet, compared with $2.17 in last year’s second quarter.

Net oil-equivalent production of 659,000 barrels per day in the second quarter 2013 was unchanged from a year earlier. Production increases in the Marcellus Shale in western Pennsylvania, the Delaware Basin in New Mexico and at Perdido in the Gulf of Mexico were offset by normal field declines elsewhere. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 1 percent in the 2013 second quarter to 455,000 barrels per day, while net natural gas production increased 3 percent to 1.23 billion cubic feet per day.

International upstream earnings of $3.87 billion decreased $436 million from the second quarter 2012. The decline between quarters was primarily due to lower volumes and realizations for crude oil, as well as higher operating expenses, partially offset by lower exploration expenses. Foreign currency effects increased earnings by $275 million in the 2013 quarter, compared with an increase of $219 million a year earlier.
The average sales price for crude oil and natural gas liquids in the 2013 second quarter was $94 per barrel, down from $99 a year earlier. The average price of natural gas was $5.93 per thousand cubic feet, compared with $6.10 in last year’s second quarter.
Net oil-equivalent production of 1.92 million barrels per day in the second quarter 2013 was down 42,000 barrels per day from a year ago. Production decreased primarily due to normal field declines, partially offset by a project start-up in Angola. The net liquids component of oil-equivalent production decreased 4 percent to 1.26 million barrels per day, while net natural gas production increased 2 percent to 3.99 billion cubic feet per day.

sales. Higher repair and maintenance expenses at the company's refineries also contributed to the decrease.
Refinery crude oil input of 814,000 barrels per day in the second quarter 2013 decreased 114,000 barrels per day from the year-ago period, primarily due to an August 2012 incident at the refinery in Richmond, California that shut down the crude unit, and a planned turnaround in Hawaii. Refined product sales of 1.21 million barrels per day were down 57,000 barrels per day from the second quarter 2012, mainly reflecting lower gas oil, kerosene and gasoline sales. Branded gasoline sales increased 1 percent to 526,000 barrels per day.

International downstream operations earned $628 million in the second quarter 2013, compared with $1.08 billion a year earlier. Current quarter earnings decreased due to lower gains on asset sales, primarily reflecting the absence of the 2012 sale of GS Caltex's power operations in South Korea. An unfavorable change in effects on derivative instruments and lower margins on refined product sales also contributed to the decrease in the 2013 quarter. Foreign currency effects increased earnings by $30 million in the 2013 quarter, compared with a decrease of $22 million a year earlier.
Refinery crude oil input of 872,000 barrels per day was essentially flat with a year ago. Total refined product sales of 1.55 million barrels per day in the 2013 second quarter were down 1 percent from second quarter 2012.

Net charges in the second quarter 2013 were $350 million, compared with $291 million in the year-ago period. The change between periods was mainly due to impairment of a power-related equity affiliate and the absence of a 2012 gain on the sale of a mining investment, partially offset by lower corporate tax items.

CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES
Capital and exploratory expenditures in the first six months of 2013 were $18.3 billion, compared with $14.2 billion in the corresponding 2012 period. The amounts included $1.1 billion in 2013 and $827 million in 2012 for the company’s share of expenditures by affiliates, which did not require cash outlays by the company. Also included were amounts related to the acquisition of additional shale acreage in several locations. Expenditures for upstream represented 92 percent of the companywide total in the first six months of 2013.
