Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations
thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this by-law. Nothing in this

of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors but
shall not be less than three. The directors, other than those who may be elected
by the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the
Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation, shall be classified, with
respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as
nearly equal in number as possible, as determined by the Board of Directors, one
class to be originally elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held in 1985, another class to be originally elected for a
term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 1986, and
another class to be originally elected for a term expiring at the annual meeting
of stockholders to be held in 1987, with each class to hold office until its
successor is elected and qualified. At each annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Company, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at
that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual
meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their

directorships resulting from any increases in the number of directors or any
vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation or
disqualification, or other cause shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a
quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director so elected shall stand for

having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to
elect Directors under specified circumstances, any director may be removed from

series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or

Board of Directors or a proxy committee appointed by the Board of Directors or
by any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of Directors generally.
However, any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of Directors generally
may nominate one or more persons for election as Directors at a meeting only if
written notice of such stockholder's intent to make such nomination or
nominations has been given, either by personal delivery or by United States
mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Company not later than (i) with
respect to an election to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders, 90 days
in advance of such meeting, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at a
special meeting of stockholders for the election of Directors, the close of
business on the seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting
is first given to stockholders. Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the name
and address of the stockholder who intends to make the nomination and of the
person or persons to be nominated; (b) a representation that the stockholder is
a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and
intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or
persons specified in the notice; (c) a
* 2 *
description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and
each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons)
pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the
stockholder; (d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such
stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed
pursuant to the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, had the
nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, by the Board of Directors;

resolution, without other notice than such resolution. If less than a quorum is
present at any meeting time and place, those present may adjourn from time to
time until a quorum shall be present, but if there shall be no quorum prior to
another regular meeting time, then such meetings of less than a quorum need not
be recorded.

ARTICLE V.
Indemnification.
SECTION 1. Right to Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including
appeals, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee
of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a
director, officer or employee of any corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit
plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as a director, officer or employee or in any other capacity while
serving as a director, officer or employee, to the fullest extent authorized by
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be
amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such
amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than
said Law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against all
expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement)
reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith;
provided, however, that except as provided in Section 2 hereof with respect to
proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company shall
indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a
proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the proceeding (or
part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The right to indemnification conferred in this Article shall be a contract
right and shall include the right to be paid by the Company expenses incurred in
defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided,
however, that if required by law at the time of such payment, the payment of
such expenses incurred by a director or
* 5 *
officer in his capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity
in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer,
including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance
of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to
the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer to
repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such
director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or
otherwise.
"Employee." as used herein, includes both an active employee in the
Company's service as well as a retired employee who is or has been a party to a
written agreement under which he might be, or might have been obligated to
render services to the Company.
SECTION 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 is
not paid in full by the Company within sixty days or, in cases of advances of
expenses, twenty days, after a written claim has been received by the Company,
the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to
recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part,
the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such
claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to
enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of
its final disposition where the required undertaking has been tendered to the
Company) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it
permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Company to
indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such
defense shall be on the Company. Neither the failure of the Company (including
its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have
made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General
Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board
of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant
had not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the
action or create a presumption that claimant had not met the applicable standard
of conduct. The Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial
proceeding commenced pursuant to this Article that the procedures and
presumptions of this Article are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall
stipulate in any such proceeding that the Company is bound by all the provisions
of this Article.
SECTION 3. Non-Exclusivity and Survival. The right to indemnification and
the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its
final disposition conferred in this Article (a) shall apply to acts or omissions
antedating the adoption of this by-law, (b) shall be severable, (c) shall not be
exclusive of other rights to which any director, officer or employee may now or
hereafter be entitled, (d) shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be
such director, officer or employee and (e) shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
ARTICLE VI.

SECTION 1. Form and Execution of Certificates. The certificates of shares
of the capital stock of the Company shall be in such form as shall be approved
by the Board. The certificates shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board, the
President, or a Vice President, and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary.
Section 2. Certificates to be Entered. Certificates shall be consecutively
numbered, and the names of the owners, the number of shares and the date of

SECTION 3. Old Certificates to be Canceled. Except in the case of lost or
destroyed certificates, and in that case only upon performance of such
conditions as the Board may prescribe, no new certificate shall be issued in
lieu of a former certificate until such former certificate shall have been
surrendered and canceled.
Section 4. Transfer of Shares. Shares shall be transferred only on the
books of the Company by a holder thereof in person or by his attorney appointed

number of shares.

may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of
certificates of stock of the Company.

may be fixed by the Board, and during such periods no stock shall be
transferable on said books.
SECTION 8. Dates of Record. If deemed expedient by the Board, the Directors
may fix in advance, a date, not exceeding 60 days preceding the date of any
meeting of stockholders or the date for the payment of any dividend, or the date
for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion or
exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, as a record date for the
determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any
such meeting or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to any such
allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change,
conversion or exchange of capital stock, and in such case only such stockholders
* 6 *
as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to
such notice of, and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such
dividend, or to receive such allotment of rights, or to exercise such rights, as
the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the
Company after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

either the prior approval of a majority of the total number of shares then
issued and outstanding and entitled to vote or the receipt by the Company of a

point of view to the stockholders of the Company issue to its stockholders
generally (i) any warrant or other right to purchase any security of the
Company, any successor thereto or any other person or entity or (ii) any
security of the Company containing any such right to purchase, which warrant,
right or security (a) is exercisable, exchangeable or convertible, based or

a. any merger or consolidation of the Company or any Subsidiary
(as hereinafter defined) with (i) any Interested Stockholder (as
hereinafter defined) or (ii) any other person (whether or not itself an
Interested Stockholder) which is, or after such merger or consolidation
would be, an Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of an Interested
Stockholder; or
b. any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other
disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions) to or with
any Interested Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested
Stockholder of any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary having an
aggregate Fair Market Value of $100 million or more; or
c. the issuance or transfer by the Company or any Subsidiary (in
one transaction or a series of transactions) of any securities of the

split), or recapitalization of the Company, or any merger or
consolidation of the Company with any of its Subsidiaries or any other
transaction (whether or not with or into or otherwise involving an
Interested Stockholder) which has the effect, directly or indirectly,
of increasing the proportionate share of the outstanding shares of any
class of equity or convertible securities of the Company or any
Subsidiary which is directly or indirectly owned by any Interested
Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Stockholder;
shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting
power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to
vote generally in the election of Directors (the "Voting Stock"), voting
together as a single class (it being understood that for purposes of this
Article VII, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes
granted to it pursuant to Article IV of the Certificate of Incorporation). Such
affirmative vote shall be required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be
required, or that a lesser percentage may be specified, by law or in any
agreement with any national securities exchange or otherwise.

Announcement Date or on the date on which the Interested
Stockholder became an Interested Stockholder (such latter date is
referred to in this Article VII as the "Determination Date"),
whichever is higher.
b. The aggregate amount of the cash to be received per share by
holders of shares of any other class of outstanding Voting Stock
shall be at least equal to the highest of the following (it being
intended that the requirements of this paragraph 2b shall be required
to be met with respect to every class of outstanding Voting Stock,
whether or not the Interested Stockholder has previously acquired
any shares of a particular class of Voting Stock):

Stockholder and prior to the consummation of such Business Combination:
(i) except as approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors,
there shall have been no failure to declare and pay at the regular date
therefor any full quarterly dividends (whether or not cumulative) on
the outstanding Preferred Stock; (ii) there shall have been (a) no
reduction in the annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Stock
(except as necessary to reflect any subdivision of the Common Stock),
except as approved by a majority of the Disinterested Directors, and
(b) an increase in such annual rate of dividends as necessary to
reflect any reclassification (including any reverse stock split),
recapitalization, reorganization or any similar transaction which has
the effect of reducing the number of outstanding shares of the Common
Stock unless the failure so to increase such annual rate is approved by
a majority of the Disinterested Directors; and (iii) such Interested
Stockholder shall have not become the beneficial owner of any
additional shares of Voting Stock except as part of the transaction
which results in such Interested Stockholder becoming an Interested
Stockholder.
e. After such Interested Stockholder has become an Interested
Stockholder, such Interested Stockholder shall not have received the
benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a
stockholder), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other
financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages

least 30 days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination
(whether or not such proxy or information statement is required to be
mailed pursuant to such Act or subsequent provisions).
C. Vote Required for Certain Stock Repurchases. In addition to any other
requirement of the Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least 50% of the Voting Stock (other than Voting Stock
beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder (as hereinafter defined)), shall be
required before the Company purchases any outstanding shares of Common Stock at
a price above the Market Price (as hereinafter defined) from a person actually
known by the Company to be a Selling Stockholder, unless the purchase is made by
the Company (a) on the

Operating Earnings
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
[GRAPHIC/IMAGE ILLUSTRATION MATERIAL APPEARS HERE.
SEE APPENDIX, PART A, ITEM A1.]
TEXACO'S UPSTREAM OPERATIONS form the foundation for our growth strategies as a
financially successful energy company in the 21st century. Our dynamic and
balanced asset portfolio is comprised of exploration and/or production (E&P)
activities in 25 countries on six continents.
As we align our worldwide E&P businesses to become more nimble and efficient,
our strategies remain constant: extract maximum value from our core producing
assets; leverage technology and alliances; and invest in growth opportunities to
increase shareholder value.
Between 1997 and 2001, Texaco plans to spend 65% of our $24.3 billion
capital and exploratory budget on upstream activities to grow production and
seize new opportunities.
Higher oil and natural gas prices, growth in worldwide production, and
rigorous expense control contributed to increased 1996 upstream performance.
Total upstream operating earnings increased 153% over the previous year, and
worldwide production rose 3% over 1995. We replaced worldwide combined liquids
and gas production at a rate of 113% and continued to grow our asset base for
the future.
Increased exploratory activity and lease acquisitions in 1996 raised our
per-barrel finding and development costs to $4.89. For the three-year period,
1994-1996, our costs were a competitive $3.89. We lowered 1996 lease operating
expenses per barrel of oil equivalent from $4.01 to $3.96.
To continue the strong 1996 performance of our upstream units and to drive
our growth strategies, we have reorganized our upstream operations and formed
the Worldwide Exploration and Production unit, effective January 1, 1997. With
four key units - Exploration, North America Production, International Production
and New Business Development - the global team is dedicated to identifying new
opportunities and squeezing more value out of our core assets through technology
and cost efficiencies.
PROFITABLE PRODUCTION LEADS U.S. UPSTREAM EARNINGS RECORDS
Texaco's U.S. upstream operations earned a record $1.1 billion, helped by strong
oil and gas prices, production growth and continuing expense control. Return on
capital employed rose from 15% in 1995 to 24% in 1996.
In the U.S., we produced 667,000 barrels of oil equivalent daily in 1996,
2.5% above 1995 levels. Our daily increase of 16,000 barrels of

oil equivalent ranked among the best of our peer companies.
Higher oil prices and technology triggered an industry-wide increase in
upstream activity in 1996. Despite the rising cost of rig leases, fuel and
services, Texaco continued to contain costs through effective teamwork and
alliances. Since 1993, we have lowered our U.S. lease operating expenses by
$0.78 per barrel, exceeding our target of cutting $0.50 per barrel.
Texaco people understand our goals and strategies. Teamwork and technology
application, combined with swift execution of focused plans, contributed to
results such as those in our New Orleans-based Onshore Region. There, teams
added new value to some of our longest-producing assets by designing and
implementing a program to revitalize Texaco's fields in the coastal waters of
Louisiana. Additional capital, better technologies and our multi-year investment
commitment to revitalize properties in Louisiana have helped us pump more and
more oil out of these mature coastal fields.
Using 3-D seismic surveys and improved data-processing techniques, our
geoscientists found large, untapped reserves of hydrocarbons in several mature
fields in South Louisiana where we have well-established pipeline infrastructure
and gas gathering systems. In 1996, discovery of a new reservoir in our Lake
Barre field in Terrebonne Bay pushed Lake Barre's oil production to a 15-year
high.
For our Onshore Region, the aggregate success of its teams has turned what
was a marginal business in 1994 into a major earnings contributor.
DRILLING MORE AND DRILLING DEEPER
[Call-out language appears top of page.]
Our aggressive lease-acquisition
program in the deepwater
Gulf of Mexico increased our
acreage in this important area
of exploration.
Beyond the Continental Shelf in the Gulf of Mexico, we are appraising and
developing Petronius, Gemini and Fuji - three deepwater discoveries announced in
late 1995. We also moved from fifth to third place in deepwater lease-acreage
position versus our competitors. With the 1996 acquisition of 149 new leases in
water depths greater than 1,300 feet, we now have 271 exploratory leases and 87
undrilled prospects in the Gulf.
We expect to bring Texaco-operated Petronius (50% Texaco) onstream in early
1999, with peak daily production rates of up to 60,000 barrels of oil and 100
million cubic feet of natural gas, less than four years after the field's
initial discovery. Texaco teams, working side-by-side with our partner, Marathon
Oil, and contractors began constructing the 1,870-foot compliant tower for the
drilling and production platform in more than 1,700 feet of water. We expect
development work on another recent deepwater discovery, Arnold, to be completed
in 1998.
Our alliance strategy has helped us overcome a hurdle faced by many
competitors in the deepwater Gulf: a drilling rig shortage created by heavy
demand for this equipment.

SEE APPENDIX, PART A, ITEM A4.]
Anticipating the tight market for drilling rigs, we contracted with Diamond
Offshore Drilling, Inc., to upgrade an existing semi-submersible drilling rig,
outfitting it for drilling in water depths of up to 4,500 feet. The contract
gives us exclusive use of the rig, rechristened Ocean Star, for three years. The
rig will begin drilling delineation wells on Texaco's Fuji prospect in early
1997 to determine the extent of the reserves. The Ocean Star will enable us to
continue exploration of other high-potential deepwater prospects through the end
of the century.
LEADING TECHNOLOGY ALLIANCES AND APPLICATIONS
[Call-out language appears top of this page.]
Our geoscientists, research
scientists and engineers partner
with operating units throughout
the company, applying
technology to business needs.
Technology alliances help us reduce costs and manage risk. As we share costs and
innovations with partners, our people focus on technology application.
Project DeepStar, for example, is helping the industry manage the risk and
minimize the costs of producing oil and gas in deep water. In 1992, Texaco led
DeepStar's formation as a technology consortium of oil and gas companies,
vendors, contractors and government agencies. DeepStar's mission is joint
technology development for producing hydrocarbon reserves in 3,000 to 6,000 feet
of water.
We are applying DeepStar advances in drilling, subsea completion and
production systems in developing prospects such as Gemini and Fuji - both in
water depths greater than 3,300 feet. Following successful tests on the Gemini
(60% Texaco) discovery well in 1996, we accelerated development plans, drawing
heavily on DeepStar solutions to the problem of pushing oil and gas up a steep,
underwater slope to existing production platforms in the Continental Shelf area.
We began delineation drilling on Gemini in late 1996.
Just as DeepStar finds solutions to industry-wide deepwater challenges, our
own Technology Division provides solutions when and where they are needed by our
operating units. Technology solutions are shared and integrated across
disciplines, across organizations and across the globe. For example, our
deepwater exploration and development teams in the Gulf of Mexico draw on the
technology and expertise of teams working in the U.K. North Sea and, in turn,
share DeepStar solutions with their Texaco colleagues in the U.K.
At our 100-year-old Kern River field in California, advances in steamflood
technology increased 1996 production to 94,000 barrels of oil a day, up nearly
15% in the last two years. And we continued to lower per-barrel operating
expenses. Kern River exchanges technology applications with our affiliate-owned
Duri field in Indonesia, where similar methods of enhanced oil recovery are
expected to increase total production to 330,000 barrels a day by 1999. Texaco's
share will be about 60,000 barrels daily.
We also apply upstream technologies in downstream units. Several years ago,
Texaco engineers at Kern River designed and patented a device called the
SpliTigatorTM to solve hydraulic problems in the field's steamflood operations.
This system delivers the optimal amounts of steam to move Kern's heavy oil
through the reservoir. In 1996, we applied this innovation to our Pembroke
refinery in Wales. Here, the SpliTigatorTM solved a problem in distributing the
flow of hydrogen and oil in the hydrotreater unit, thus avoiding costly
alternatives.

To reach our near-term growth objectives of increasing global oil and gas
production by some 50% by 2001 and doubling Texaco's 1995 earnings by 2000, we
are extracting maximum value from current core producing assets such as those in
the North Sea, Indonesia and the Partitioned Neutral Zone (PNZ) between Saudi
Arabia and Kuwait. We also are accelerating development of new fields and
exercising continuous control over operating costs.
In the U.K. North Sea, we increased production up-time at our platforms,
improved maintenance practices and formed strategic alliances with contractors
and suppliers. As a result, we reduced per-barrel lifting costs from $7.70 in
1990 to $4.92 in 1996.
Cost efficiency and technology application drive our design of new projects
such as the Captain field. We have applied technologies such as electric
submersible pumps, horizontal drilling sections up to 6,000 feet, and a floating
production, storage and offloading vessel to drive down costs.
Captain, with its accelerated development program begun in late 1994, came
onstream in early 1997. We expect Captain to pump 60,000 barrels a day of total
new production. The return on investment is expected to be about 25%.
Other projects are bringing new and increased production onstream:
o In the North Sea, Texaco's 50%-owned Erskine field uses technology we
developed for producing natural gas under high-pressure/high-temperature
conditions in the Gulf of Mexico. Erskine is slated to be onstream in the fourth
quarter of 1997. We expect new total daily production of 85 million cubic feet
of gas and 22,000 barrels of condensate, increasing to 95 million cubic feet of
gas in 1998.
o An accelerated, phased revitalization program in the PNZ is raising
production (50% Texaco) in this core asset area. We expect the overall program
to increase total daily production of crude oil and natural gas liquids in the
PNZ to 300,000 barrels by 1999.
o In Indonesia, our 50%-owned affiliate P.T. Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI)
is using steamflood technology to increase the Duri field's total daily
production from 280,000 barrels in 1996 to an anticipated 330,000 barrels in
1999.
o In the South China Sea, the CACT operating consortium - the China
National Offshore Oil Company, Agip, Chevron and Texaco - raised 1996 production
to 99,000 barrels a day, of which Texaco's share is 16%. In 1996, CACT also had
a new oil discovery in the Huizhou area in the Pearl River Mouth Basin.
o Offshore Trinidad, we increased production and earnings in 1996. Coming
onstream in the first quarter, the Dolphin field (50% Texaco), with its seven
wells, was producing the daily contract rate of 87 million cubic feet of gas by
year-end. Dolphin has 892 billion cubic feet of gas reserves, and we plan to

produce at a total daily peak rate of 275 million cubic feet by 2003.
o Colombia's offshore Guajira gas fields (50% Texaco) also increased
earnings and were producing 385 million cubic feet per day by year-end. In
October, we completed construction of a second platform, Chuchupa-B, where we
will leverage our expertise in horizontal drilling. Our partnership with the
national oil company, Ecopetrol, produces 75% of Colombia's gas from the Guajira
fields, and the second platform at Chuchupa allows us to increase production to
meet growing demand.
o In West Africa, the addition of five new fields in Angola during 1996
brought total production from the offshore Angolan block that we operate (20%
Texaco) to 95,000 barrels a day, up from 59,000. During 1996, a horizontal
drilling program raised total daily production from our Nigerian interests (20%
Texaco) from 54,000 barrels to 69,000.
Our longer-term strategies for growth include accelerating the development
of discovered reserves in core areas, creating alliances and leveraging
technologies.
Offshore northwest Australia, Texaco is a partner in the planned
development of the giant Gorgon, Chrysaor and Dionysus gas fields, which are
among the world's most significant recent natural gas discoveries. The three
fields can supply a two-train liquefied natural gas (LNG) project to fuel the
rapidly growing natural gas market in the Pacific Rim. In 1997, we will study
and consider our options to join in the planned expansion of the Northwest Shelf
joint venture's existing LNG project or to develop a grassroots facility to
manufacture LNG from the three fields.
Our Mariner prospect in the U.K. North Sea contains reserves of heavy crude
oil, similar to Captain, and is part of Texaco's corporate-wide initiative to
commercialize our extensive reserves of heavy oil - crudes with high sulfur or
acid content or very high viscosity, which require enhancement in the refining
process.
In Venezuela, we are leveraging our heavy-oil expertise through a 20%
interest in a partnership with ARCO, Phillips Petroleum and Corpoven - a
subsidiary of the national oil company. In 1996, the partners agreed to pursue
the development of extra-heavy crude oil in the Hamaca region of Venezuela's
oil-rich Orinoco Belt. We anticipate initial production from the project in
1999. The partnership plans to transport Hamaca's production to a new upgrading
plant on Venezuela's Caribbean coast, where it will be processed into a lighter
crude and exported.
In Russia, the Timan Pechora Company (TPC), owned by Texaco, Amoco, Exxon
and Norsk Hydro, moved closer to approval of a production-sharing agreement to
develop reserves of the Timan Pechora Basin, about 1,100 miles northeast of
Moscow. In December, TPC signed a protocol with the Russian Federation in
advance of submitting a draft production-sharing agreement to national and local
governments for final approval. TPC has also agreed to a Russian participation
of 20%.

Texaco's global upstream
portfolio -- backed by our strong
balance sheet, financial
flexibility and focused strategies --
drives our value growth.
Our new global exploration unit is drilling wells, assessing discoveries and
acquiring additional acreage in areas we believe hold the most potential for
high-impact discoveries.
Increasingly, our focus is outside the U.S. We are raising our expenditures
in exploration activities by almost $120 million in 1997 to $499 million, with
about 55% earmarked for the international arena. Our 1997 drilling program will
more than double the number of exploratory wells we drilled outside the U.S. in
1996. Highlights of our exploration program include:
o Appraisal of Arnold, our latest deepwater Gulf of Mexico discovery, which
would add to our success at Fuji, Gemini and Petronius.
o An extensive drilling program in China and Southeast Asia, where we have
acreage in the Gulf of Thailand and in Bohai Bay, offshore northeastern China.
We are delineating our early 1997 gas discovery in the Gulf of Thailand and
acquiring 3-D seismic data. Onshore China, we continue evaluating our holdings
in the Tarim and Sichuan Basins.
o Continued exploration in our core area of West Africa, where we are
delineating 1996 oil and gas discoveries in Namibia, Nigeria and Angola. We plan
to use 3-D visualization techniques and deepwater drilling in the nearly two
million acres we acquired offshore Nigeria and Namibia in 1996.
o Acceleration of our exploration program in Colombia and Trinidad, where
we plan to drill an exploratory well in the Middle Magdalena Valley of Colombia,
adjacent to recent discoveries. In Trinidad, we are exploring our existing
acreage and enhancing our position near our currently producing Dolphin gas
field.
o Evaluation of our acreage in the Atlantic Margin, west of Great Britain,
an area with significant oil and gas discoveries that could become a major
producing region.

TEXACO'S DOWNSTREAM BUSINESSES turned in mixed results in 1996, while our
midstream continued to make significant contributions. In 1997, we will redouble
our efforts to create our own profitability. To meet our value growth
objectives, we will pursue downstream alliances, become a low-cost refiner and
marketer and keep a tight grip on expense control.
In late 1996, we restructured our downstream and midstream organizations to
strengthen core businesses and to focus on growth opportunities. These realigned
organizations - Texaco International Marketing and Manufacturing and Global
Businesses - create value by forming alliances, leveraging our global brand and
investing in new projects. The new structure allows the units to share ideas,
technology and best practices in the execution of their strategies.
The Global Businesses unit will coordinate a range of Texaco's worldwide
operations, which include our U.S. Downstream Operations, Caltex and Worldwide
Lubricants. The unit's International Aviation Sales and Fuel and Marine
Marketing groups supply marine and aviation products to customers worldwide.
RISING PROFITS IN THE U.S. DOWNSTREAM
Higher crude oil prices provided a significant challenge to our downstream
business in 1996. But we achieved a 71% increase in 1996 domestic downstream
earnings as a result of improved profits from refining and pipeline operations
and increased sales of branded gasoline. Our U.S. operations, including our 50%
joint venture, Star Enterprise, posted net operating income of $207 million in
1996, compared with $121 million the previous year.
In line with our alliance strategy, we are discussing with Shell Oil
Company the formation of a venture that would operate a combination of both
companies' domestic downstream assets. The potential arrangement is a growth
opportunity that capitalizes on the strengths of each company and brings
significant prospects for improved efficiency and productivity. We hope to
conclude a letter of intent with Shell in the first quarter of 1997.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN MANUFACTURING
With stronger U.S. refining margins during most of 1996, our California
refineries gained from the introduction of a new gasoline formulation that meets
California's 1996 specifications. Star Enterprise's refineries on the East and

Coasts benefited from their ability to convert heavy crude oil into high-value
products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel.
Texaco's refineries have achieved gains from expense control, improved
efficiency and increased throughput. Our per-barrel operating expense fell 7.5%
between 1993 and year-end 1996. During 1996, Star's refineries identified more
than $60 million a year in permanent savings, which they expect to realize
beginning in 1997.
ADDING VALUE IN THE MIDSTREAM
Our midstream subsidiary, Texaco Trading and Transportation Inc. (TTTI),
transports and markets crude oil and refined products for Texaco and third-party
customers. Its 1996 net operating income rose 9% over 1995.
Over time, as U.S. onshore crude production declines, TTTI plans to move
increased volumes of imported crude, expand its activities in the deepwater Gulf
of Mexico, and establish new product pipeline systems.
TTTI is a partner in the Poseidon pipeline, one of the largest-capacity
pipelines built to transport crude production from recent subsalt and deepwater
discoveries in the Gulf. Scheduled for 1997 completion, Poseidon expands our
transportation systems in the Gulf, adds value to our deepwater acreage position
and offers growth opportunities through business with third-party producers.
TARGETING PREFERRED MARKETS
[Call-out language appears top of this page]
We believe that our downstream
strategies -- and the steps we have
taken to implement them -- will
achieve competitive returns on
our assets.
In the mature U.S. fuel market, total sales volumes of Texaco-branded gasoline
rose 3% in 1996. In Texaco's marketing areas in the West, Southwest and
Mid-Continent regions, sales increased 6.5% over 1995 levels. Sales revenues at
convenience stores in Texaco's marketing system climbed 15% during 1996.
Our U.S. strategy for increasing market share and earnings focuses on
expanding our retail system in preferred markets in high-growth areas. Typical
of this program are 63 new and rebuilt retail outlets, scheduled for completion
in 1997, in the growth area around Los Angeles. Each outlet features fueling
facilities, a large Star Mart(R) convenience store and one or more quick-service
restaurants.
Our Global Brand Initiative's goals for training in customer service
techniques and operating standards are paying off. The 1996 American consumer
satisfaction index, compiled by independent researchers, ranked Texaco number
one in customer satisfaction in the gasoline brand category.
Texaco's alliance strategy helped build downstream value growth in 1996. A
partnership among our retailers, wholesalers and Citibank is financing the
building and revamping of Texaco retail locations and truck stops. We formed a
joint venture with a Mid-Continent wholesaler to operate more cost-effectively
some 60 convenience stores and other retail locations. And Texaco and Star
continue to align the Texaco brand with such high-profile fast-food

SETTING THE STANDARD IN LUBRICANTS
Texaco Lubricants Company adds value to the Texaco brand with quality products:
Havoline Formula3 motor oil, Ursa Premium TDX heavy-duty diesel oil, the
additives that distinguish CleanSystem3 gasolines, and new Havoline Extended
Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant(R).
During 1996, domestic sales of Texaco's extended-life coolant products for
automobiles and heavy-duty vehicles increased our share of the U.S. coolant
market to about 18%. These products - developed from original Texaco technology
by our Fuels and Lubricants Technology Department in partnership with our
lubricants businesses - have a useful life at least two to three times that of
conventional products.
Texaco's teams collaborated to gain approval for these coolants from the
worldwide auto industry and heavy-duty equipment manufacturers. Marketed as
Havoline DEX-COOL(R), the product is the factory-installed coolant in all new
General Motors automobiles and light trucks sold in the U.S.
INTERNATIONAL MANUFACTURING - MEETING GLOBAL CHALLENGES
In response to weak margins and oversupply in the international refining
industry, we are rationalizing our assets, striving for top-quartile performance
in operating efficiency, and creating alliances to increase financial returns.
Texaco has an equity interest in two European refineries - our wholly owned
Pembroke plant in Wales and the Nerefco refinery in Rotterdam, in which Texaco's
interest is 35%. We improved earnings in 1996 by better aligning our capacity
with market demand and by continuing to cut expenses. Pembroke's 1996 per-barrel
operating expense fell 15% against 1995 levels. Stronger margins in 1996 helped
raise combined earnings from our European refineries by about $60 million over
1995.
At Pembroke, our purchase of another company's 35% throughput entitlement
in the refinery's catalytic cracking complex will give us full control over the
crude slates we run at the plant, thus allowing greater flexibility in producing
reformulated gasoline for sale in the U.S. and Europe. The move also will prompt
the shut-down of a nearby refinery.
Meanwhile, we are balancing Pembroke's gasoline production with an increase
in Nerefco's production of middle distillates. During 1996, we accelerated plans
with our partner British Petroleum to consolidate processing at Nerefco's two
plants, Europoort and Pernis. Beginning in 1997, Pernis will phase out its
processing to become a storage and distribution terminal. A hydrotreater will be
built at Europoort to increase yields of aviation fuel and automotive diesel. It
is projected that the consolidation will result in reductions of 27% in
operating expenses and 55% in ongoing maintenance capital by 2000.
INTERNATIONAL MARKETING -- ALIGNED FOR GROWTH
Texaco markets refined products throughout Latin America and in regional markets
in Europe and West Africa. Through our Caltex affiliate, we are actively engaged
in the growth markets of Asia and the Pacific Rim.
With our newly aligned downstream business units, we can leverage one of
our most valuable assets - Texaco's brand. As part of our Global Brand
Initiative, new and rebuilt stations around the world are adopting the
distinctive "Star 21" design, state-of-the-art retail technology and uniform
operating standards.

LATIN AMERICA CAPTURES SALES AND MARKET SHARE
Texaco has a significant marketing presence throughout Central and South America
and the Caribbean. At year-end 1996, sales in Latin America had increased 34%
since 1993, far exceeding the region's robust 17% demand growth during that
period. At the same time, operating expenses decreased by 6%.
Net operating income from marketing in Latin America increased 14% over
1995 and 90% since 1993. Our return on capital employed in the area is 22%. We
hold a strong retail market share in areas where we operate - as high as 26% in
the Caribbean and Central American regions.
The competitive Brazilian market represents our largest business in Latin
America. During 1996, we expanded our retail system with more than 100 new
service stations, capturing more than a full percentage point in additional
market share and raising gasoline volume at year-end more than 39% above the
1993 level. Earnings in Brazil have doubled since 1993.
We are the number-one lubricants marketer in most of the Latin American
countries where we operate, and our lubes business has given us access to new
fuel markets, such as Ecuador and Peru. We expect Texaco's sales in those
nations to grow to some seven million barrels a year by 2000.
CREATING OUR MARGINS IN EUROPE'S CHANGING MARKETS
To address the weakness in Europe's refined product markets, we are moving
quickly into new areas and leveraging our strength in lubricant sales. Our 50%
Scandinavian joint venture company, Hydro Texaco, with an 18% share in its
markets, is expanding into the neighboring Baltic countries. And we are
increasing our presence in Poland, where we constructed our first three service
stations in 1996 and added 20 new lubricants distributors.
In the U.K., our largest European market, a price war brought margins to a
historic low in 1996. To improve performance, we are reducing our retail
operating expenses, as well as overhead costs, and adding retail facilities in
preferred markets to grow volumes.
CALTEX -- A NEW RETAIL IMAGE
Caltex, our 50% joint venture with Chevron, operates in the expanding economies
of Asia, the Pacific Rim and southern Africa. Faced with weak refining profits
and increased competition in its Asian markets, Caltex is focusing on the
strengths of its marketing operations. Caltex continues to assess its asset
portfolio and reduce costs as it strives to become the preferred supplier in its
markets.
In 1996, Caltex sold its 50% interest in Japan's Nippon Petroleum Refining
Company, Limited, to Nippon Oil Company for $2 billion. And in early 1997,
Caltex announced plans to sell its 40% interest in its refinery in Bahrain.
Meanwhile, its recent refinery investments - such as its 64%-owned refinery in
Thailand, completed in 1996 - will supply refined products to meet the region's
demand growth for petroleum products.
During 1996, Caltex introduced a new retail image - including quick-service
restaurants and convenience stores at its outlets - to attract the growing
number of younger drivers and professionals such as truck and cab drivers. The
company is expanding its retail networks in Korea and the Philippines, where it
holds about a 30% market share, and is accelerating development of its
lubricants business in China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam.

THE NEWLY FORMED Global Gas and Power unit will leverage our strength in natural
gas and our experience in private power generation to profit from the energy
value chain. It will benefit from U.S. deregulation and growing global demand
for clean power generation.
Our downstream gas activities support our U.S. daily production of 1.7 billion
cubic feet of natural gas and 81,000 barrels of natural gas liquids. Our gas
infrastructure and marketing services at the Gulf Coast Star Center and the
Henry Hub serve third-party producers. Earnings from our gas and liquids
businesses in 1996 increased over 1995.
Last year, we began work with our partner, MAPCO Inc., on the $300 million
Discovery Project, which will gather new gas production from the Gulf of Mexico.
The project includes a 150-mile pipeline and gathering system, a new onshore
processing plant, and an expanded fractionator, which will process natural gas
liquids.
Another profitable link in the energy value chain is Texaco's Ferndale
Storage Terminal in Washington state. With a 750,000-barrel capacity for
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), it is the West Coast's only export terminal for
LPG and serves markets in Latin America and the Pacific Rim.
We continue to apply our power generation expertise and our proprietary
gasification technology to gain more value from our natural gas and liquids
reserves. We operate 11 cogeneration facilities in the U.S., producing more than
1,200 megawatts of electricity for Texaco's producing fields and refineries, as
well as low-cost power for sale to local utilities. These projects have reduced
emissions and lowered operating costs.
In 1996, Florida's Tampa Electric Company began operating a 250-megawatt
coal-based plant using our gasification technology. A new
gasification/cogeneration plant at our El Dorado, Kan., refinery converts
petroleum coke into electricity and steam, making the refinery energy
self-sufficient and significantly reducing the cost of handling coke. The plant
soon will convert refinery wastes and reduce waste-handling costs, as well.
In Thailand, we are working with partners to develop a 700-megawatt
gas-fired combined cycle private power facility, slated for start-up in 2000.
On the island of Java, we are helping our Indonesian affiliate build that
nation's growing geothermal energy industry by constructing power plants in

TEXACO'S SUCCESS as a unique and growing company depends in substantial measure
on how well we meet our responsibility to protect the environment, health and
safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate. By integrating
sound EHS practices in our business operations, we gain a competitive advantage
and improve shareholder value.
We reinforce our focus through our committed management team and the development
and implementation of our Worldwide EHS Standards and Guidelines. We exercise
environmental and safety oversight of our operations through our three-tiered
EHS Auditing Program, which consultant Arthur D. Little, Inc., declared is
"among the leaders in the petroleum industry." Our Product Stewardship program
incorporates EHS concerns throughout the life cycle of our products. We identify
potential EHS risks and design our facilities and programs to minimize or
eliminate them. We train our employees and hold them accountable for sound EHS
practices. And we benchmark our activities against industry's best practices.
While we know there is more to do, we are achieving measurable progress.
o Putting safety first. The lost-time incidence rate for our worldwide
operations in 1996 was the lowest in company history and about 60% lower than it
was in 1992. Our 1996 rate of 0.55 lost-time incidents per 200,000 hours worked
is 7% better than our previous best performance in 1995. Still, we are not
satisfied.
In our drive for worker safety, we are building loss-prevention practices
into our operations. We have made safety a priority for all employees and
contractors. Our ongoing reliability initiative is helping to eliminate
operating incidents throughout the Texaco system.
o Reducing chemical releases. From 1989 through 1995, the last year for
which complete data is available, our refineries have reduced by more than 80%
the chemical releases reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
under its Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirement. We have achieved
most of these reductions by making refinery investments that improve product
yields and increase operating efficiencies.
o Cutting emissions. By applying innovative technologies, we are lowering
refinery emissions. Low NOx (nitrogen oxide) burners

installed at our Pembroke refinery in Wales have reduced significantly emissions
of both sulfur dioxide and NOx. Similar emission-control devices are expected to
cut NOx emissions by more than 60% when installed at two of our cogeneration
facilities in California.
o Emergency preparedness. Our worldwide emphasis on spill prevention - in
oil production, transportation, manufacturing and marketing of refined products
- - has helped reduce the number and volume of leaks and spills. Between 1991 and
1996, incidents of leaks and spills were down 37%, and the volume of these leaks
and spills dropped 20%.
While prevention is our first priority, Texaco's worldwide emergency
response teams are prepared to react quickly when a spill or other incident
occurs. We are associated with more than 30 oil spill cooperatives, and we
maintain response teams worldwide. By regularly conducting regional drills, we
are well prepared to respond to an emergency. Within moments after the tanker
Sea Empress ran aground near Milford Haven, Wales, in February 1996, trained
Texaco employees were on the scene. Though the tanker was neither owned nor
operated by Texaco, its cargo of crude oil was en route to our Pembroke
refinery. Our rapid mobilization and ability to respond were reviewed favorably
by the U.K. government.
CONSERVING RESOURCES AND MINIMIZING WASTE
[Call-out language appears top of page]
In our producing fields
and at our refineries, environmental
initiatives are improving the
efficiency and cost-effectiveness
of our operations.
Many of our environmental initiatives also increase the profitability of our
operations. For example, we have made significant advances in managing the water
generated during crude oil production. Several of our locations - including
Caltex Pacific Indonesia's giant Minas field - have eliminated discharges of
produced water by re-injecting it into underground reservoirs. At our Kern River
field in Bakersfield, Calif., we have developed a project that reclaims millions
of gallons daily of fresh produced water, which we sell for agricultural
irrigation. The project makes wastewater disposal a profitable operation that is
good for the environment.
In the downstream, we have reduced disposal needs by designing processes to
convert refinery wastes, used motor oil and industrial oil into valuable
products. Low NOx emission-control devices being retrofitted in our California
cogeneration facilities are expected to eliminate waste acid at the source by
1999, thus avoiding the need for treatment or disposal of about 40,000 tons of
waste per year.
We have designed, built and seeded a 90-acre wetland that helps our El
Dorado, Kan., refinery meet its wastewater discharge limits, and provides a
habitat for more than 50 species of birds, mammals and reptiles.

Consolidated worldwide net income for the year 1996 was $2,018 million, or $7.52
per common share, compared with $607 million, or $2.10 per common share for the
year 1995 and $910 million, or $3.17 per common share for the year 1994.
These results include special items, as well as discontinued chemical
operations, as noted. Results for 1995 reflect the adoption of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121). The
adoption of this Standard resulted in a non-cash after-tax charge of $639
million, and required the classification of a $121 million charge, previously
recorded in the first quarter of 1995, as a cumulative effect of an accounting
change.
Plan for Growth
Texaco's plan for growth, which was announced in July 1994, has continued to
show significant progress in attaining its primary objectives of increasing
earnings and stockholder value. By the end of 1996, the following achievements
were attained:
o Solid total return to shareholders of 30% in 1996, led by a sharp rise
in the market price of the company's common stock and higher dividends
o Significant growth in net income before special items to more than
$1.6 billion in 1996, 45% higher than 1995 and 82% higher than 1994
o Strong returns on stockholders' equity of 20.4% and capital employed
of 14.9% in 1996
o Capital expenditures of $3.4 billion in 1996, an increase of 10% over
1995

o Higher net oil and gas production in 1996, to 1.1 million barrels of
oil equivalent per day, a 3% increase over 1995
o Realized cash proceeds of $2.4 billion since 1994 from sales of
nonstrategic assets
o Greater financial flexibility demonstrated by a lower leverage ratio
of 33.6%, down from 38.5% in 1994
o Increased additions to the oil and gas reserves base equal to 113% of
production at a competitive finding and development cost
In addition, the following actions are targeted for 1997 and beyond:
o An aggressive capital expenditure program of $4.5 billion for 1997, an
increase of more than 30% over 1996, the first year of a five year
$24.3 billion program
o Net oil and gas production is expected to increase by more than 50% by
the year 2001
o Ongoing negotiations with Shell Oil Company for a U.S. downstream
alliance with a letter of intent anticipated during 1997. The proposed
combination is expected to create a revitalized, dynamic, highly
competitive business with improved performance and growth
opportunities.
Results for Continuing Operations
The following analysis relates to Texaco's consolidated and functional results
for continuing operations.
Revenues
Consolidated worldwide revenues from continuing operations were $45.5 billion in
1996 as compared to $36.8 billion in 1995 and $33.4 billion in 1994. Revenues
for 1996 exceeded 1995 levels by 24%, two-thirds of which was attributable to
increased sales revenues as a result of higher prices for crude oil, refined
products and natural gas, which benefited results in the United States and
abroad. Higher sales revenues also reflected substantial growth in crude oil and
refined products sales volumes.
The increase in sales volumes included the impact of Texaco's aggressive
strategy of marketing purchased crude oil, effectively utilizing the company's
expansive trading and distribution network. Crude oil sales also reflected an
increase in crude oil and NGL production volumes during 1996. Producing
provinces in the Partitioned Neutral Zone, the U.S., Africa and China all
reflected improvements over prior year production levels. Refined product sales
also reflected significant increases with an improvement of 7% over 1995,
principally in U. S. and Latin American markets, including higher branded
gasoline sales. Natural gas sales in 1996 rose slightly over 1995 levels due to
higher production in the U.S. and the Dolphin field in Trinidad, which came
onstream during 1996.
Revenues in 1995 exceeded revenues in 1994 due to higher worldwide crude
oil and refined product prices and volumes. Lower natural gas prices in the U.S.
in 1995 more than offset the benefits to revenue related to higher natural gas
sales volumes in the U.S. and Europe. In addition, revenues for 1995 also
benefited from gains on asset sales.
Costs and Expenses
Purchases and other costs were $34.6 billion in 1996, $27.2 billion in 1995 and
$23.9 billion in 1994. The increase in 1996 is primarily the result of higher
worldwide prices and higher purchased volumes of crude oil and refined products,
as well as increased natural gas prices in the United States. The 1995 increase
in costs as compared to 1994 was due to higher worldwide prices for crude oil
and refined products, as well as increased purchased volumes of crude oil,
refined products and natural gas. Partially offsetting these increases were
lower natural gas prices in the U.S. during 1995 as compared to 1994.
Over the past three years, Texaco has continually focused on containing
expenses and improving operating efficiencies. These efficiencies are evident in
the decrease in Texaco's operating expenses, excluding special items, of 2.5%
during this three year period. This improvement has occurred notwithstanding the
adverse, though somewhat moderating impact of a 7% inflation increase during
this period. Operating expenses for the year 1996 versus 1995 reflected an
increase of 6%, excluding special items in both periods, due to generally
expanding operations. This increase reflects the company's aggressive
exploratory and production activity in worldwide upstream operations, higher
refinery utilization and increases in expenses associated with expanding
marketing activities. Expenses also rose due to higher utilities resulting from
increased fuel costs. Despite this increase in total operating expenses in 1996,
further evidence of Texaco's cost-containment initiatives is exhibited in the
less than 1% increase in Texaco's cash operating expenses on a per-barrel basis,
approximately one-third of the general rise in inflation.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses decreased in 1996 as
compared to 1995 mainly due to the effects of the adoption of SFAS 121.
27
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $965 million in 1996, $258 million in 1995 and $225
million in 1994. The year 1996 continued the three-year trend of higher taxable
income from worldwide producing operations including the impact of international
operations which are generally subject to higher statutory rates. The years
1996, 1995 and 1994 also included tax benefits associated with sales of a
partial interest in a subsidiary of $188 million, $65 million and $189 million,
respectively. The year 1995 also included significant deferred tax benefit
effects from the adoption of SFAS 121.

company. Results for 1995 included benefits of $75 million for insurance
recoveries, which were offset by charges to establish financial reserves for
associated environmental remediation and other matters.

U.S. Upstream operating earnings, before special items, were $1,123
million, $674 million and $438 million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Results for 1996 achieved record levels and were 67% higher than
1995.
Increased crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas production for
1996, which in total is 2.5% higher than 1995, reflects the company's success in
adding new production, most notably from the Gulf of Mexico, and enhancing
production from existing fields, primarily at the Kern River, California,
operations. This new production more than offsets declines from maturing fields
and non-core asset sales, and is in contrast to U.S. oil industry statistics
which indicate an overall decline in U. S. crude oil production. Slightly
offsetting the impact of improved production was an increase in 1996 exploratory
expenses of 63% reflecting higher activity on various new prospects.
Texaco's average crude oil price in 1996 was $17.93 per barrel, or $2.83
per barrel over the 1995 average price. These higher prices reflected increased
demand, combined with historically low inventory levels in 1996, as well as the
continued uncertainty in the market for most of the year regarding the possible
resumption of Iraqi crude sales. In 1995, Texaco's average crude price of $15.10
per barrel represented an increase of $1.67 per barrel from the 1994 price.
In 1996, Texaco's average natural gas price of $2.19 per MCF represents an
increase of $.54 per MCF from 1995. This higher average price was triggered by
an upward movement in prices that commenced toward the end of 1995 due to
unusually cold weather and led to an increase in industry demand to replenish
depleted natural gas storage. Texaco's average natural gas price of $1.65 per
MCF in 1995 was $.27 per MCF lower than 1994 and reflected a deterioration of
average natural gas prices that adversely affected operating earnings for both
1995 and 1994.
Total U.S. operating earnings were $1,123 million, $293 million and $414
million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Included in total
operating earnings for 1995 were special items of $381 million, comprised of the
write-down of assets associated with the adoption of SFAS 121 of $493 million
and a gain of $125 million from the sale of non-core producing properties which
was partly offset by reserves for environmental remediation on these properties
of $13 million. Results for 1994 included special charges of $24 million related
to employee separations.
International Upstream operating earnings, before special items, were $451
million, $343 million and $269 million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

Operating results in 1996 benefited from higher crude oil prices. Texaco's
international average crude oil price of $19.55 per barrel in 1996 increased
$3.26 per barrel over the 1995 level and continued a two-year upward trend in
prices that also saw 1995 prices average $1.41 per barrel more than 1994 prices.
Crude oil production in 1996 increased primarily in Angola and the
Partitioned Neutral Zone, while natural gas production increased in Trinidad and
Colombia. In Angola, the production increase was the result of new offshore
fields, as well as the resumption of onshore production early in 1996.
Production increased in Trinidad and Colombia due to new fields and in the
Partitioned Neutral Zone due to continuing development programs that have
resulted in higher production levels starting in 1995. Lower production from
maturing fields in the United Kingdom and Australia during 1996, as well as
higher expenses associated with expanded exploration activities, partly offset
the overall production improvements. In 1995, North Sea crude oil production
slipped 3% from the high levels of 1994 mainly due to the natural decline in
maturing fields and temporary interruptions for planned work.
Operating results for all three periods included non-cash currency
translation impacts related to deferred income taxes due to the relationship of
the Pound Sterling to the U.S. dollar. Results for 1996 and 1994 included
charges of $38 million and $15 million, respectively, while 1995 included
benefits of $2 million.
Total international operating earnings were $478 million, $340 million and
$253 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Results for 1996 included a
special non-cash gain of $27 million related to a Danish deferred tax benefit.
Included in 1995 results was a special charge of $3 million related to the
write-down of assets associated with the adoption of SFAS 121. Results for 1994
included special charges related to asset write-downs of $8 million and an
additional charge of $8 million for employee separations.

U.S. Downstream operating earnings, before special items, were $233 million
for 1996, as compared with $141 million and $281 million for 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The year 1996 results, as compared with 1995, benefited primarily
from higher West Coast refinery margins that resulted from an increase in
product prices due to shortages brought about by regional refining problems and
new California gasoline formulation requirements during the first half of the
year. Improved refinery operations throughout most of the year and continued
cost containment efforts also contributed to the improved 1996 results. However,
during the fourth quarter of 1996, both refinery and marketing margins,
primarily on the West Coast, were depressed due to higher crude costs and
competitive pressures in the marketplace. Additionally, refinery fires at Los
Angeles in November and Convent, Louisiana, in December adversely impacted 1996
results due to property damage and earnings losses associated with lower yields.
Marketing margins for most refined products were lower in 1996 as compared with
1995; however, this was offset partially by the continued strength in gasoline
and diesel sales volumes, with Texaco branded gasoline sales up 3% versus 1995
levels. Additionally, 1996 results benefited from improved profits in the
distribution and transportation businesses.
Results in 1995 were lower than 1994 due to the impact of historically low
refining margins that prevailed throughout the U.S. during the first four months
of 1995. Rising crude costs could not be fully recovered through

product prices which remained relatively flat due to a surplus of products in
the market. Operations on the East and Gulf Coasts also were impacted during
1995 by narrow light to heavy crude oil differentials that mitigated the
benefits of refinery upgrades, as well as storm-related downtime and scheduled
maintenance that impacted refinery performance. West Coast operations in 1995,
as compared with 1994, benefited from expense containment, greater energy
efficiency, improved refinery performance and higher sales volumes--all of which
lessened the impact of depressed refining margins.
Total U.S. operating earnings were $207 million, $121 million and $257
million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The year 1996 included
special charges of $25 million related to the pending sale of Texaco's propylene
oxide/methyl tertiary butyl ether (PO/MTBE) manufacturing site in Texas and $1
million for employee separations. Earnings in 1995 included special charges of
$11 million for employee separations and $9 million related to the write-down of
assets associated with the adoption of SFAS 121. Results for 1994 included
special charges of $13 million related to asset write-downs and $11 million for
employee separations.
International Downstream operating earnings, before special items, were
$252 million, $358 million and $375 million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Results for 1996, as compared with 1995, reflect the impact of
lower margins in both the Europe and Caltex operating areas, partly offset by
higher Latin American results. Marketing margins in Europe were significantly
depressed from excess gasoline supply and a highly competitive market in the
U.K., although both these factors were partially offset by improved refining
operations and margins. In the Caltex operating markets, significantly lower
margins in Australia, Korea, Thailand and Japan, primarily due to higher crude
costs not fully recovered in the market, were somewhat offset by higher margins
in Bahrain and Singapore. In Latin America, improved results in Brazil from
increased volumes and higher product margins more than offset the impact of
scheduled maintenance at the Panama refinery.
Results for both 1995 and 1994 reflect the impact of depressed refining
margins, particularly in the U.K. These margins initially began to decline
during 1994 due to rising feedstock costs and oversupply conditions. Operating
earnings for 1994 were also negatively impacted by the Pembroke, Wales, refinery
fire. In 1995 and 1994, areas served by Caltex, including most Pacific Rim
countries and South Africa, were negatively impacted by lower refining margins.
The year 1995 results for Caltex also were impacted by favorable foreign tax
effects and both 1995 and 1994 results included benefits associated with
inventory valuations. Strong margins and higher product volumes in most Latin
America operating areas prevailed in both 1995 and 1994. However, downtime
resulting from a 1995 refinery upgrade project in Panama and the 1994 impact of
a fire at that plant lowered results for both years.
Operating results for all three periods included non-cash currency
translation impacts related to deferred income taxes due to the relationship of
the Pound Sterling to the U.S. dollar. Results for 1996 and 1994 included
charges of $20 million and $16 million, respectively, while 1995 included
benefits of $3 million.
Total international operating earnings were $450 million in 1996 compared
with $365 million and $360 million in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Results for
1996 included a special gain of $219 million relating to the sale by Caltex of
its interest in Nippon Petroleum Refining Company, Limited (NPRC). Results for
1995 included special charges of $31 million related to the write-down of assets
associated with the adoption of SFAS 121. The year 1995 also included a net
special gain of $80 million, principally related to the sale of land by a Caltex
affiliate in Japan, and special charges of $13 million from restructuring in
certain Caltex operations. Operating results for 1994 included a special gain of
$23 million related to the sale of an interest in a downstream joint venture in
Sweden, partly offset by special charges of $10 million related to the
write-down of assets. Additionally, results for 1996, 1995 and 1994 included
charges of $21 million, $29 million and $28 million, respectively, for employee
separations.

results for both 1996 and 1994 benefited from higher gasification licensing
revenues, while 1995 results mainly reflected improved loss experience of
insurance operations. Included in 1995 operating results was a special charge of
$87 million for the write-down of assets associated with the adoption of SFAS
121 and a special gain of $27 million from the sale of the company's interest in
Pekin Energy Company, a producer of ethanol. Results for 1994 included special
charges of $29 million in the insurance operations related to property damages
caused by fires at both the Pembroke, Wales, and the Panama refineries.

million and $445 million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These
results include interest expense and general corporate expenses, as well as
interest income and other nonoperating income.
Results for 1996 reflect lower interest expense related to improved rates
and lower debt levels. The year 1995 results included gains of $25 million,
principally from the sales of equity securities held for investment by the
insurance operations. Gains on such sales of securities in 1994 were lower than
amounts realized in 1995. Additionally, 1995 results as compared to 1994
benefited from higher interest income and lower interest expense.
Corporate/nonoperating charges, including special items, were $256 million,
$363 million and $273 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Results for
all three years included special items related to the impact of current tax
benefits realized and deferred tax benefits realizable due to sales of interests
in a subsidiary. These benefits are realizable due to taxable gains on completed
and announced sales of assets and amounted to $188 million, $65 million and $189
million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Results for 1996, 1995 and 1994
also included special charges related to employee separations that amounted to
$43 million, $16 million and $17 million, respectively. Additionally, results
for 1996 included a benefit of $41 million resulting from lower than anticipated
prior years' state tax exposures and charges of $32 million for additional
financial reserves for various litigation matters, while 1995 results included
special charges of $16 million related to the write-down of assets associated
with the adoption of SFAS 121.
Discontinued Chemical Operations
In 1993, Texaco announced its intention to dispose of substantially all of its
worldwide chemical operations, including its lubricant additives business.
Texaco has since accounted for these operations as discontinued operations.
In 1993, Texaco entered into a memorandum of understanding with an
affiliate of the Jon M. Huntsman Group of Companies for the sale of Texaco
Chemical Company and related international chemical operations. On April 21,
1994, Texaco received from Huntsman Corporation $850 million, consisting of $650
million in cash and an 11-year subordinated note with a face amount of $200
million. The note was prepaid in January 1996.
On February 29, 1996, Texaco completed the disposition of its discontinued
operations by completing the sale of its worldwide lubricant additives business,
which included manufacturing facilities, as well as sales and marketing offices
in various locations in the U.S. and abroad, to Ethyl Corporation, a fuel and
lubricant additives manufacturer. Ethyl purchased this business for $196
million, comprised of $136 million in cash and a three-year note of $60 million.
Financial information on discontinued chemical operations can be found in
Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 48 of this report.
Employee Severance Programs
On July 5, 1994, Texaco announced its plan for growth, which included a series
of steps to increase competitiveness and profitability as well as to reduce
overhead. This program was expected to result in the reduction of approximately
4,000 company employees worldwide by year-end 1996. An after-tax provision of
$144 million was made to cover the cost of employee separations. This program
has now been completed with reductions of about 4,400 employees worldwide. An
adjustment of $9 million after tax was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1996 to
increase reserves from previously estimated amounts. Charges against the reserve
related to severance have totaled $133 million after tax through the end of
1996.
On October 30, 1996, Texaco announced a companywide realignment designed to
enhance the company's ability to grow existing and new businesses. This
realignment, coupled with other organizational enhancements such as the
consolidation of operations, is designed to stimulate growth and improve
efficiencies in both support and operating functions, rather than cut costs.
However, it is expected that some overlapping activities will be eliminated
resulting in the reduction of some 750 employees worldwide by the end of 1997.
An after-tax provision of $56 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1996
to cover the costs of employee separations, including employees of affiliates.
Through December 31, 1996, approximately 250 company employees have been
terminated

with a related commitment to severance payments of $11 million after-tax. Of
this commitment, payments of $4 million have been made and charged against the
reserve as of December 31, 1996.
Environmental Matters
Texaco continues to make substantial capital and operating expenditures for
environmental protection and to comply with federal, state and local
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Worldwide environmental
spending in 1996 totaled $795 million for Texaco and its consolidated
subsidiaries and its equity in affiliates. These expenditures relate to the
control and abatement of pollutants into the air and water and to the
appropriate recycling or disposal of wastes and also include costs associated
with remediation obligations at company operated sites, previously operated
sites and certain third-party sites.
The discussion that follows details environmental expenditures and reserve
information relative to Texaco and its equity in affiliates.
Capital Expenditures
In 1996, Texaco's capital environmental expenditures totaled $185 million, or
approximately 6.1% of Texaco's 1996 capital expenditure program, with $95
million expended in the United States. This compares with $275 million of
capital environmental expenditures for the year 1995, of which $169 million was
expended in the United States. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower
downstream expenditures in the United States, reflecting the completion in 1995
of a number of projects equipping refineries to make reformulated fuels and
low-sulfur diesel required by the 1990 Amendments to the Clean Air Act and to
conform to stricter California fuel standards.
Capital expenditures projected for the company for 1997 and 1998 total $219
million and $252 million, respectively, with approximately 54% slated for
operations in the United States.
Ongoing Activities
Texaco spent and expensed $451 million in 1996 associated with protecting the
environment in the company's ongoing operations, the manufacture of
cleaner-burning fuels and in the management of the company's environmental
programs. Of this amount, approximately 61% was related to air quality.
Remediation Costs and Superfund Sites
Expenditures in 1996 relating to remediation amounted to $111 million. The
company had financial reserves of $638 million at the end of 1996 for the
estimated future costs of its environmental remediation programs. These reserves
have been provided to the extent reasonably measurable, as it is not possible to
project overall costs or a range of costs beyond that disclosed, due to
uncertainty surrounding future developments in regulations and remediation
exposure.
Since the enactment of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act (commonly referred to as Superfund), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other regulatory agencies and groups
have identified Texaco as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup of
hazardous waste sites. Texaco has determined that it may have potential
exposure, though limited in certain cases, at about 216 multi-party hazardous
waste sites, of which 80 sites are on the EPA's National Priority List. Although
liability under Superfund is joint and several, the company is actively pursuing
and/or participating in the sharing of Superfund costs with other identified
PRP's on the basis of weight, volume and toxicity of the material contributed by
the PRP's. The above referenced expenditures in 1996 relating to remediation
include $12 million for multi-party waste sites. The financial reserves for
environmental remediation include $56 million related to multi-party waste
sites. This reserve is based on the company's analysis of the developments at
these sites for which costs can reasonably be estimated. However, there are
potential additional costs for waste sites for which a range of exposure cannot
reasonably be estimated until further information develops. In many cases, the
amounts and types of wastes are still under investigation by regulatory
agencies.

Restoration and Abandonment
The company also provides financial reserves to cover the cost of restoration
and abandonment of its oil and gas producing properties. These reserves at
December 31, 1996, totaled $850 million. Expenditures in 1996 for restoration
and abandonment amounted to $48 million.
o o o o o o
In summary, Texaco makes every effort to remain in full compliance with
applicable governmental regulations. Changes in governmental regulations and/or
Texaco's re-evaluation of its environmental programs may result in additional
future costs to the company. It is assumed that any mandated future costs would
be recoverable in the marketplace, since all companies within the industry would
be facing similar requirements. However, it is not believed that such future
costs will be material to the company's financial position nor to its operating
results over any reasonable period of time.

==========================================================================================================
Texaco's liquidity strategy is to rely on cash from operations, including
careful management of working capital to fund its cash requirements, including
its capital, exploratory and dividend programs. This is complemented by the
company's strong credit rating which allows ready access to global financial
markets and provides the flexibility to take advantage of growth opportunities
at low funding costs. Texaco also maintains a revolving credit facility which
supports the company's commercial paper program. The facility, with commitments
of $1.5 billion as of December 31, 1996 and $2.0 billion at year-end 1995,
remains unused. Further solidifying Texaco's strong liquidity position is the
company's debt profile. At year-end 1996, the company's debt had an average
maturity in excess of 12 years and a weighted average interest rate of 7.5%
including the effect of debt-related derivatives which is not significant. Also,
the contractual annual maturities of long-term debt have been balanced to avoid
disproportionate calls on cash in any one year.
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, Texaco issued $150 million of 7.09%
noncallable Notes due 2007. Proceeds from this offering will be used for working
capital, retirement of existing debt and other general corporate purposes.
The company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled
$552 million at year-end 1996 and $536 million at year-end 1995. Texaco's total
cash provided by operating activities of $3.8 billion for the year 1996
reflected strong operational earnings and a net inflow of $375 million,
primarily comprised of a cash dividend from Caltex (related to the sale of
Caltex' interest in NPRC), proceeds from advanced payments on long-term natural
gas sales agreements and the collection of nonrecurring receivables (primarily
insurance recoveries relating to environmental matters), which were partially
offset by payments related to litigation and other matters.
Cash from operating activities was supplemented by proceeds from the sales
of discontinued operations and other nonstrategic assets and exceeded outlays of
$2.9 billion relative to the company's capital and exploratory program and $1.0
billion for payment of dividends to common, preferred and minority interest
shareholders and contributed to the reduction of debt and purchases of common
stock. As of December 31, 1996, $163 million has been expended under the $500
million common stock repurchase program announced in 1995. The company will
continue repurchasing shares from time to time based on market conditions. In
the third quarter of 1996, Texaco increased its quarterly dividend on its common
stock to 85 cents per share, from 80 cents per share, an increase of 6.25
percent.
During the first quarter of 1996, Texaco received $136 million in cash and
a three-year note with a face amount of $60 million from the sale of its
worldwide lubricant additives business to Ethyl Corporation and $208 million
from the prepayment of the note received as part of the consideration for the
1994 sale of its chemical operations to Huntsman Corporation. Also in 1996,
Texaco received $261 million from the sale of certain equipment leasehold
interests in conjunction with a sale/leaseback arrangement. In the aggregate,
through year-end 1996, Texaco has received $509 million for these leasehold
interests. The company expects to repurchase the total interests for somewhat
less than the proceeds received, after the related equipment is placed in
service.
In November 1996, Texaco reached an agreement in principle to settle a
purported class action filed against the company in 1994 for allegedly
discriminating against salaried African-American employees, principally with
respect to promotions. A definitive settlement agreement was filed with the
United States District Court for the

Southern District of New York in January 1997. As part of the settlement, in
1996, Texaco transferred $115 million into an escrow account which will be
released to the plaintiffs upon approval of the settlement by the court. The
$115 million payment is covered by litigation reserves and probable insurance
recoveries anticipated to be received during 1997.
The company expects to complete the previously announced sale of a 15%
interest in its U.K. North Sea Captain Field to an affiliate of Korea Petroleum
Development Corporation for approximately $210 million in 1997. Texaco has
agreed to sell its propylene oxide/methyl tertiary butyl ether (PO/MTBE)
business to a Huntsman Corporation affiliate for cash and preferred stock. Cash
proceeds at the closing will approximate $513 million, and will be used to
substantially offset the cost of purchasing assets in connection with the
termination of a related lease arrangement. Texaco will also receive preferred
stock with a stated value of $65 million, which is mandatorily redeemable in
eleven years. The company expects to complete this transaction in the first half
of 1997. In addition, Texaco is negotiating with Associates First Capital
Corporation, an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company,
for the sale of the company's credit card services unit, including its portfolio
of proprietary credit card accounts receivable. As a result, Texaco would
receive cash proceeds of approximately $300 million for its proprietary credit
card accounts receivables and associated processing assets.
In October 1996, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
(Fifth Circuit) affirmed the 1993 U.S. Tax Court (Tax Court) decision in the
so-called "Aramco Advantage" case and upheld Texaco's position in this dispute
with the IRS. The IRS has filed a petition for certiorari with the United States
Supreme Court, seeking review of the favorable decision by the Fifth Circuit. In
March 1988, prior to the commencement of the Tax Court action, Texaco, as a
condition of its emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, made certain cash
deposits to the IRS (Deposit Fund) in contemplation of potential tax claims. A
portion of the Deposit Fund also will be applied to issues settled in the Tax
Court litigation years. After satisfaction of all liabilities associated with
settled issues, it is anticipated that in excess of $700 million will remain in
the Deposit Fund and continue to accrue interest. If the company ultimately
prevails on the appeal of the Aramco Advantage issue, the amount remaining in
the Deposit Fund will be refunded to the company, with interest. In the event
the Supreme Court denies certiorari, a significant portion of that amount is
expected to be received in 1997.
As a global petroleum company, Texaco is exposed to commodity price,
foreign exchange and interest rate risks. While these risks are primarily
managed by the careful structuring of transactions, the company also uses
certain derivative financial instruments as a cost-effective and efficient means
for managing its risks. Derivative usage is subject to the company's risk
management policies which prohibit speculative positions and restrict the amount
of exposure on all derivative transactions through dollar, term and volumetric
limits. The company's exposure in derivative transactions, in the aggregate, is
not material. For more information related to derivative transactions, refer to
Notes 7 and 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The company considers its financial position sufficient to meet its
anticipated future financial requirements.
Reserves
Texaco's worldwide net proved reserves at year-end 1996, including equity in P.
T. Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI), a 50% owned affiliate operating in Indonesia,
totaled 3.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent, of which 53% are located in the
United States. The worldwide reserves include 2.7 billion barrels of crude oil
and natural gas liquids, and 6.0 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
On a worldwide basis, including equity reserves and excluding purchases and
sales, the company added new volumes to its reserve base equal to 113% of
combined liquids and gas production in 1996, 129% in 1995 and 111% in 1994.
During 1996, the company added new volumes to its reserve base equal to 83% of
combined liquids and gas production in the United States and 154% outside the
United States. The three-year worldwide reserve replacement average for
1994-1996 was 118% and the five-year replacement average for 1992-1996 was 112%.
Texaco's worldwide finding and development costs were $4.89 in 1996, $3.89
over the three-year period 1994-1996 and $4.04 over the five-year period
1992-1996.

Capital and Exploratory Expenditures
Worldwide capital and exploratory expenditures for continuing operations,
including equity in such expenditures of affiliates, were $3.4 billion for the
year 1996, of which $1.8 billion, or 52% was spent in international areas and
$1.6 billion, or 48% was spent in the United States. Texaco continues to focus
on key upstream exploration and development projects which represented 69% of
total expenditures in 1996, as compared with 62% in 1995 and 58% in 1994. Solid
opportunities internationally and in the U.S., especially in the Gulf of Mexico
shelf and deepwater areas, have significant potential to build on Texaco's
earnings growth, increase return to shareholders and produce a highly
competitive return on capital employed. Utilizing the synergies of advanced
technologies such as 3-D and vertical cable seismic, subsea completions and
quadrilateral drilling, Texaco continues to add underground oil and gas reserves
at a significant pace. Recent successes of bringing to development many new
fields, enhanced recovery efforts at older fields and the increased focus of a
newly created worldwide exploration unit with the potential to contribute
significant discoveries, are expected to grow Texaco's production and reserves.
Continued downstream investments are carefully scrutinized with capital
allocated to those activities which will return favorable margins to Texaco.
Such projects include strategic refinery upgrades and selected worldwide
marketing initiatives which complement a cohesive investment program.
Exploration and Production
In the United States, capital and exploratory expenditures in 1996 focused on
key projects in the Gulf of Mexico in both the continental shelf and deepwater
areas. Investments reflect higher levels of rank wildcat drilling, continued
revitalization of existing fields and an aggressive Federal lease acquisition
program. Texaco brought into production the Shasta natural gas prospect in the
Gulf of Mexico, successfully demonstrating an assortment of emerging
technologies and innovative subsea development techniques. Appraisal wells also
confirmed the commerciality of the Gemini and Petronius prospects, two
significant 1995 deepwater discoveries. Facility design and construction for the
Petronius project, which will utilize a unique compliant tower design, began in
1996. Work also began on the Discovery project, a major natural gas gathering
and transmission pipeline and processing complex to be located onshore and
offshore South Louisiana. In early 1997, a 50% interest in this project was sold
to a third party. Additionally, Texaco continues to develop its heavy oil
reserves in California using efficient and cost effective enhanced recovery
techniques.
Internationally, upstream expenditures in 1996 increased over both 1995 and
1994. Development efforts continued in the North Sea, including the Erskine
field, in the Partitioned Neutral Zone between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, as well
as for offshore projects in Australia and Nigeria. In addition, several new
fields were brought into production during 1996 in Angola, Colombia and
Trinidad. Also, the Captain field in the North Sea came onstream during the
first quarter of 1997. In Indonesia, Texaco, through its affiliate P.T. Caltex
Pacific Indonesia, continued the enhanced recovery programs at the vast Minas
and Duri fields. The year 1996 also reflected generally higher exploratory
activity both in the U.S.
and abroad.
Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution
In the United States, refinery expenditures decreased as compared to 1995 and
1994 due to the completion of major refinery projects and upgrades for both
Texaco and its affiliate, Star Enterprise. Marketing expenditures increased due
to expanded joint marketing initiatives with quick service restaurants and lube
outlets, as well as strategic service station site acquisitions and alliances.
Also, construction continued on a strategic crude oil pipeline which will
service new deepwater and subsalt oil production from the central Gulf of
Mexico.
Internationally, overall downstream expenditures remained relatively
constant over the three-year period 1994-1996. The lower level of refinery
spending was primarily related to a refinery construction completion in Thailand
and an upgrade in Singapore by Caltex and refinery upgrade completions and
enhancements in Panama and the United Kingdom. Marketing investments increased,
particularly in Latin American growth markets and selected European locations,
as well as in high-growth areas of the Pacific Rim through Caltex.
36
1997 Capital and Exploratory Expenditures
Texaco's capital and exploratory spending levels, including equity in such
expenditures of affiliates, are planned to approximate $4.5 billion during 1997,
an increase of more than 30% over 1996 spending levels. Approximately $2.6
billion, or 58% of Texaco's investment program, is targeted for international
areas and $1.9 billion, or 42%, for domestic initiatives. On a functional basis,
65% of the total program has been designated for upstream opportunities, 33% for
downstream and 2% for other activities.
The 1997 program supports the company's aggressive financial and
operational goals by investing in opportunities that will increase production
and reserves, leverage our world-class technologies and the Texaco brand name,
and support profitable strategic alliances. Expenditures in 1997 will maintain a
balance between growth and strategic opportunities, and core businesses. The
1997 spending budget is the first year of a five year $24.3 billion capital and
exploratory expenditures program.
Upstream investments will be directed to those opportunities that are
expected to significantly increase existing production levels and expand
Texaco's reserve base. In the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, the company will
nearly double expenditures from 1996 levels. Building upon recent exploration
successes and lease acquisitions, Texaco will maintain a solid rank wildcat
drilling program in 1997, and accelerate the delineation of new discoveries and
development efforts to bring discoveries onstream. Enhanced oil recovery
techniques in the Partitioned Neutral Zone, Indonesia and onshore U.S. will
increase oil and gas output from mature producing fields. Such techniques
involve the use of advanced technologies, including 3-D seismic, steamflooding
and carbon dioxide injection. Development projects will continue in the U.K.
North Sea, where Texaco's Captain field produced first oil in early 1997 and
where the Erskine field is expected to come onstream later in the year. Also,
appraisal work will continue in 1997 for the Galley and Mariner projects in the
North Sea. Participation in high-impact growth opportunities, including the
Karachaganak venture in Kazakstan and a joint agreement to study and pursue the
development of heavy crude oil in the Hamaca region of Venezuela, have the
potential to significantly contribute to Texaco's production and reserve base.
Additionally, exploration will continue in promising geological basins of West
Africa, China and Southeast Asia which have the potential of becoming new core
areas for the company.
In the downstream, expenditures will be directed primarily toward marketing
activities. Texaco will enhance retail positions in Latin America and Caltex'
operating areas throughout the Asia-Pacific region via new business ventures and
the improvement of existing operations in these rapidly growing economic arenas.
In the U.S., investments are targeted for core marketing areas in preferred
markets in support of the company's global brand initiative, and expanding
alliances with quick service restaurants and quick lubes. Also, expenditures are
scheduled for the company's refining operations at the Nerefco complex in the
Netherlands and the U.K. Pembroke plant, including the purchase of the remaining
outside interest in the plant's cracking complex.
Other investments include cogeneration and gasification projects primarily
in areas outside the United States.

Industry Review
Review of 1996
The world economy grew at a strong 3.8% rate in 1996. However, growth patterns
were mixed among regions. Economic expansion in the industrialized world as a
whole was relatively modest. While the pivotal U.S. economy enjoyed another year
of steady advance, the adoption of fiscal austerity measures in Western Europe
led to a slowing of economic expansion. A large increase in governmental
spending in the first quarter boosted Japanese GDP growth

in 1996, but the recovery has yet to become deep-rooted. On the other hand,
economic expansion in the developing world was generally robust, particularly in
the Pacific Rim countries. One major disappointment in 1996 was the failure of
the former Soviet bloc to turn around. Although some of the former Eastern
European "satellite" countries enjoyed relatively strong growth, the Russian
economy registered another decline, pulling down the region as a whole.
World demand for petroleum products continued to attain new highs in 1996,
spurred by the global economic expansion and cold winter conditions early in the
year. Oil consumption averaged 71.8 million BPD, an increase of 1.7 million BPD
from the 1995 level. Growth in the industrialized nations rose sharply, up
900,000 BPD, boosted by the very cold winter weather across the Northern
Hemisphere. In the developing countries, buoyant economic conditions,
particularly in the Pacific Rim region, led to a robust increase of 1.2 million
BPD in oil consumption. However, the contraction in the Russian economy offset
gains in several Eastern European countries, leading to an overall 400,000 BPD
demand decline for the former Soviet bloc.

==========================================================================================================
Crude oil supplies also rose sharply during the year. However, very
ambitious gains that had been expected from non-OPEC sources did not materialize
fully. In the North Sea, for example, extended field maintenance during the
summer, underperformance by several old fields and delayed projects limited
production increases. Even with these constraints, output from the North Sea
contributed significantly to non-OPEC's near 1 million BPD gain from the 1995
level.
Latin America also posted significant increases, resulting from higher
output levels from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico. Likewise, there were
significant gains from countries such as Angola, Australia and Canada, but these
were partially offset by production losses from the former Soviet Union and the
United States.
The step-up in world oil demand and lower than anticipated non-OPEC output
combined to boost world requirements for OPEC oil during 1996, the first
substantial output gain for the organization in several years. Crude oil
production averaged 25.9 million BPD, a 900,000 BPD increase over its
year-earlier level. Cash-strapped countries such as Nigeria and Venezuela
substantially exceeded OPEC quotas and accounted for more than half of this
increase. Iraqi exports remained embargoed until near year-end, when agreement
was reached allowing so-called "oil-for-food" flows under U.N.
Resolution 986.
World petroleum prices were surprisingly strong throughout 1996. Special
factors, such as exceptionally cold weather early in 1996, the absence of Iraqi
exports and the delayed start-up of new North Sea production, had a major
impact. At the same time, crude oil and petroleum product stocks were lean by
historical standards, thus contributing to price strength and volatility. The
spot price of U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) averaged $22.16 per
barrel, which was $3.73 per barrel higher than the previous year and a level not
seen since the Gulf War.
Refiners' margins during 1996 were higher than 1995's very depressed levels
in key U.S. and European markets. Despite the run-up in underlying crude oil
costs, special factors contributed to strong light-end product prices. For
instance, the extreme cold winter within the Atlantic basin boosted heating oil
prices and delayed the refinery switchover to gasoline, leading to low stock
levels prior to the summer driving season. In addition, on the U.S. West Coast,
refinery outages and dislocations resulting from the introduction of CARB
reformulated gasoline also pushed up margins during the spring and summer.
Marketing margins, however, decreased relative to 1995 due to intense
competitive pressures and oversupply in the marketplace, especially in the U.S.,
the United Kingdom and the Asia-Pacific area.
Near-Term Outlook
World economic growth is projected to remain strong in 1997, as continued
powerful expansion in the developing world and modest increases in the
industrialized nations are reinforced by an anticipated turnaround in the former
Soviet bloc. The United States is forecast to continue to enjoy modest growth in
1997, and economic expansion in Western Europe is expected to pick up. In Japan,
growth should weaken somewhat from the artificially high rate created by the
stimulative government spending in 1996. Within the developing world, expansion
in Asia may also moderate somewhat, but will remain relatively strong. The
former Soviet bloc as a whole is anticipated to register positive GDP growth for
the first time in eight years, as the Russian economy shows signs of turning
around.
39
Strong economic conditions should result in one of the highest rates of
growth for world oil consumption witnessed over the last two decades. World
demand is projected to average 73.8 million BPD, a 2.0 million BPD, or 2.8%
increase over 1996 levels. Growth in the industrialized nations is expected to
slow to 500,000 BPD in 1997, as normal winter conditions are projected. In the
developing countries, demand is expected to rise by 1.4 million BPD, fueled by
the ongoing economic expansion. Also, in the former Soviet bloc, demand is
expected to rise by 100,000 BPD from the 1996 level, as consumption rises in
Central Europe.

================================================================================
Despite the strength in demand, anticipated increases in non-OPEC and OPEC
production may actually run ahead of consumption, causing the global
supply/demand balance to loosen and prices to weaken. Non-OPEC crude oil
production has been on an uptrend over the last few years and, despite the
somewhat disappointing performance in 1996, output in 1997 is expected to climb
to 38.3 million BPD, a dramatic 1.2 million BPD gain. As in the past, the North
Sea will be the major contributor, followed by Brazil, Mexico, Australia, India,
Angola and some other African nations. By year-end, output from Colombia's giant
Cusiana/Cupiagua fields is expected to rise significantly as the Ocensa pipeline
nears completion. Even output from the former Soviet Union may increase after
many years of decline. Among the major producers, only the United States will
continue to slip, and very slowly, as declining production from Prudhoe Bay and
other North Slope fields is offset by new flows from the Gulf of Mexico.
OPEC production is also expected to rise in 1997, given the resumption in
Iraqi oil exports. The agreed partial lifting of the U.N. embargo will likely
add about 600,000 BPD to the market. In addition, ongoing capacity expansions in
Venezuela, Algeria and Nigeria may translate into a further increase in OPEC
production. This could occur at a time when market fundamentals point toward
weaker crude oil and product prices.
U.S. natural gas consumption in 1996 rose to over 22 trillion cubic feet
(TCF), up 0.6 TCF from the prior-year level. The extreme cold weather and
growing industrial usage boosted demand to a level that has not been experienced
since the early 1970's. In 1997, demand should continue to grow, despite the
assumption of more normal winter conditions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED Texaco Inc.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS and Subsidiary Companies
1 Note One - Description of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consist of the accounts of Texaco Inc. and
subsidiary companies owned directly or indirectly more than 50 percent.
Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency of all the company's operations
and of a substantial portion of the operations of its affiliates accounted for
on the equity method. For these operations, translation effects and all gains
and losses from transactions not denominated in the functional currency are
included in income currently, except for certain hedging transactions. The
cumulative translation effects for the equity affiliates using functional
currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are included in the currency translation
adjustment in stockholders' equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Texaco's consolidated financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and
management's judgment. While all available information has been considered,
actual amounts could differ from those reported as assets and liabilities and
related revenues, costs and expenses and the disclosed amounts of contingencies.
Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased
are generally considered to be cash equivalents.
Inventories
Virtually all inventories of crude oil, petroleum products and petrochemicals
are stated at cost, determined on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Other
merchandise inventories are stated at cost, determined on the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. Materials and supplies are stated at average cost.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.
Investments and Advances
The equity method of accounting is used for investments in certain affiliates
owned 50 percent or less, including corporate joint-ventures and partnerships.
Under this method, equity in the pre-tax income or losses of partnerships and in
the net income or losses of corporate joint-venture companies is reflected
currently in Texaco's revenues, rather than when realized through dividends or
distributions. Investments in the entities accounted for on this method
generally reflect Texaco's equity in their underlying net assets.
The company's interest in the net income of affiliates accounted for at
cost is reflected in net income when realized through dividends.
Investments in debt securities and in equity securities with readily
determinable fair values are accounted for at fair value if classified as
available-for-sale.
Properties, Plant and Equipment and Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Texaco follows the "successful efforts" method of accounting for its oil and gas
exploration and producing operations.
Lease acquisition costs related to properties held for oil, gas and mineral
production are capitalized when incurred. Unproved properties with acquisition
costs which are individually significant are assessed on a property-by-property
basis, and a loss is recognized, by provision of a valuation allowance, when the
assessment indicates an impairment in value. Unproved properties with
acquisition costs which are not individually significant are generally
aggregated and the portion of such costs estimated to be nonproductive, based on
historical experience, is amortized on an average holding period basis.
Exploratory costs, excluding the costs of exploratory wells, are charged to
expense as incurred. Costs of drilling exploratory wells, including
stratigraphic test wells, are capitalized pending determination whether the
wells have found proved reserves which justify commercial development. If such
reserves are not found, the drilling costs are charged to exploratory expenses.
Intangible drilling costs applicable to productive wells and to development dry
holes, as well as tangible equipment costs and costs of injected carbon dioxide
related to the development of oil and gas reserves, are capitalized.
As discussed in Note 2, Texaco adopted SFAS 121 in 1995. Commencing in
1995, for purposes of determining and recognizing permanent impairment of
long-lived assets to be held and used, the applicable carrying value is tested
against the undiscounted projection of net future pre-tax cash flows. In the
case of productive oil and gas properties located in the United States, the test
is performed on an individual field basis, including related depreciable
investment. For similar properties located outside the United States,
46
the test is performed on a field, concession or contract area basis, depending
on the circumstances. For other depreciable investments, the applicable grouping
of assets is based on the lowest practicable levels of identifiable cash flows,
consistent with the manner in which those assets are managed. If an impairment
exists, the carrying amount is adjusted to fair value.
Assets to be disposed of are generally accounted for at the lower of
amortized cost or fair value less cost to sell.
The costs of productive leaseholds and other capitalized costs related to
producing activities, including tangible and intangible costs, are amortized
principally by field on the unit-of-production basis by applying the ratio of
produced oil and gas to estimated recoverable proved oil and gas reserves.
Estimated future restoration and abandonment costs are taken into account in
determining amortization and depreciation rates.
Depreciation of properties, plant and equipment related to facilities other
than producing properties is provided generally on the group plan, using the
straight-line method, with depreciation rates based upon estimated useful life
applied to the cost of each class of property. Assets not on the group plan are
depreciated based on estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Capitalized nonmineral leases are amortized over the estimated useful life
of the asset or the lease term, as appropriate, using the straight-line method.
Periodic maintenance and repairs applicable to marine vessels and
manufacturing facilities are accounted for on the accrual basis. Normal
maintenance and repairs of all other properties, plant and equipment are charged
to expense as incurred. Renewals, betterments and major repairs that materially
extend the useful life of properties are capitalized and the assets replaced, if
any, are retired.
When capital assets representing complete units of property are disposed
of, the difference between the disposal proceeds and net book value is credited
or charged to income. When miscellaneous business properties are disposed of,
the difference between asset cost and salvage value is charged or credited to
accumulated depreciation.
Environmental Expenditures
When remediation of a property is probable and the related costs can be
reasonably estimated, environmentally-related remediation costs are expensed and
recorded as liabilities. If recoveries of environmental costs from third parties
are probable, a receivable is recorded. Other environmental expenditures,
principally maintenance or preventive in nature, are recorded when expended and
are expensed or capitalized as appropriate.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are determined utilizing a liability approach. The income
statement effect is derived from changes in deferred income taxes on the balance
sheet. This approach gives consideration to the future tax consequences
associated with differences between financial accounting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities. These differences relate to items such as depreciable and
depletable properties, exploratory and intangible drilling costs, nonproductive
leases, merchandise inventories and certain liabilities. This approach gives
immediate effect to changes in income tax laws upon enactment.
Provision is not made for possible income taxes payable upon distribution
of accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiary companies and affiliated corporate
joint-venture companies when such earnings are deemed to be permanently
reinvested.
Net Income Per Common Share
Primary net income per common share is based on net income less preferred stock
dividend requirements divided by the average number of common shares outstanding
and common equivalents. Fully diluted net income per common share assumes full
conversion of all convertible securities into common stock at the later of the
beginning of the year or date of issuance (unless antidilutive).
Accounting for Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date financial statements are issued,
which may result in a loss to the company, but which will only be resolved when
one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Such contingent liabilities
are assessed by the company's management and legal counsel. The assessment of
loss contingencies necessarily involves an exercise of judgment and is a matter
of opinion. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that
are pending against the company or unasserted claims that may result in such
proceedings, the company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any
legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the
amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a
material liability had been incurred and the amount of the loss can be
estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the company's
financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material
liability is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot
be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an
estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be
disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless
they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee would be
disclosed. However, in some instances in which disclosure is not otherwise
required, the company may disclose contingent liabilities of an unusual nature
which, in the judgment of management and its legal counsel, may be
of interest to stockholders or others.

Reclassifications
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentation.
2 Note Two - Changes in Accounting Principles
During 1995, Texaco adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121). Under SFAS 121, assets whose carrying amounts are
not expected to be fully recovered by future use or disposition must be written
down to their fair values.
Adoption of this Standard resulted in a non-cash after-tax charge of $639
million against fourth quarter 1995 earnings. Application of SFAS 121 to assets
that the company intends to retain resulted in a pre-tax fourth quarter charge
of $775 million, principally due to depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense. On an after-tax basis, this charge amounted to $514 million and
primarily reflected the write-down to their estimated fair values of certain of
the company's producing properties in the United States which were evaluated for
impairment on a field-by-field basis rather than in the aggregate. Fair values
were based on estimated future discounted cash flows. To a large extent, the
impairments resulted from acquisitions of U.S. upstream properties at times when
price assumptions and reserve estimates were higher. Additionally, constraints
on production and development in certain areas due to environmental concerns
have curtailed originally projected production levels and increased costs to the
point that original investments cannot be fully recovered. Also in the fourth
quarter, certain non-core coal and marketing properties, surplus buildings and
other properties and equipment that the company intends to abandon or dispose of
pursuant to its plan for growth were written down by a $184 million charge,
principally due to depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Including
estimated disposal costs, this charge to income was $125 million, net-of-tax.
There were no material changes in the estimated fair values of assets to be
disposed of subsequent to the determination of their impairment. At year-end
1996 and 1995, the carrying amounts of assets to be disposed of were not
significant. Adoption of SFAS 121 by Star Enterprise and the Caltex group of
companies, each owned 50% by Texaco, had no effect on 1995 net income.
In accordance with SFAS 121, a $121 million after-tax write-down of
non-core domestic producing properties held for sale at January 1, 1995,
previously recorded in the first quarter of 1995 in income from continuing
operations, has been classified as the cumulative effect of an accounting
change.
3 Note Three - Discontinued Operations
In 1993, Texaco announced its intention to dispose of substantially all of its
worldwide chemical operations, including its lubricant additives business.
Texaco has since accounted for these operations as discontinued operations.
On April 21, 1994, Texaco Inc. completed the sale of Texaco Chemical
Company and related international chemical operations to Huntsman Corporation
for $850 million, consisting of $650 million in cash and an 11-year subordinated
note with a face value of $200 million. The note was prepaid in January 1996. On
February 29, 1996, Texaco sold its worldwide lubricant additives business to
Ethyl Corporation for $136 million in cash and a three year note with a face
amount of $60 million.
The results of these operations have been classified as discontinued
operations for all periods presented in the Statement of Consolidated Income.
The assets and liabilities of the worldwide lubricant additives business are
classified as "Net assets of discontinued operations" in the December 31, 1995
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Discontinued operations have not been segregated in
the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows and, therefore, amounts for certain
captions will not agree with the respective Statement of Consolidated Income.
Purchase and sale transactions between the discontinued operations and
Texaco's significant affiliates, as well as resultant receivables and payables,
were immaterial for each period presented.
The summarized results of discontinued operations and related per common
share effects are as follows:

Caltex Group
Texaco has investments in the Caltex group of companies, owned 50% by Texaco and
50% by Chevron Corporation. The Caltex group consists of P.T. Caltex Pacific
Indonesia, American Overseas Petroleum Limited and subsidiary and Caltex
Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries. This group of companies is engaged in
the exploration for and production, transportation, refining and marketing of
crude oil and products in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Australia and New
Zealand.
On April 2, 1996, Caltex Petroleum Corporation completed the sale of its
50% interest in Nippon Petroleum Refining Company, Limited (NPRC) to its
partner, Nippon Oil Company, for approximately $2 billion. Caltex Petroleum
Corporation's net income for 1996 includes a gain of $621 million associated
with this sale. Texaco's results include a net gain of $219 million relating to
this sale, comprised of its equity share of the gain, less an adjustment in the
carrying value of its investment and further reduced by a tax on the dividend
distributed to the shareholders.
Star Enterprise
Star Enterprise (Star) is a joint-venture partnership owned 50% by Texaco and
50% by the Saudi Arabian Oil Company. The partnership refines, distributes and
markets certain Texaco-branded petroleum products, including gasolines, in 26
East and Gulf Coast states and the District of Columbia.
o o o o o o
The following table provides summarized financial information on a 100%
basis for the Caltex group, Star and all other affiliates accounted for on the
equity method, as well as Texaco's share. The net income of all partnerships,
including Star, is net of estimated income taxes. The actual income tax
liability is reflected in the accounts of the respective partners and not shown
in the following table.
Star's assets at the respective balance sheet dates include the remaining
portion of the assets which were originally transferred from Texaco to Star at
the fair market value on the date of formation. Texaco's investment and equity
in the income of Star, as reported in the consolidated financial statements,
reflect the remaining unamortized historical carrying cost of the assets
transferred to Star at formation. Additionally, Texaco's investment includes
adjustments necessary to reflect contractual arrangements on the formation of
this partnership, principally involving contributed inventories.

The percentages reflected for variable-rate debt are the interest rates at
December 31, 1996. The percentages reflected for the categories "Medium-term
notes" and "Other long-term debt" are the weighted average interest rates at
year-end 1996. Where applicable, principal amounts reflected in the preceding
schedule include unamortized premium or discount. Interest paid, net of amounts
capitalized, amounted to $433 million in 1996, $482 million in 1995 and $500
million in 1994.
At December 31, 1996, Texaco was party to a revolving credit facility with
commitments of $1.5 billion with a syndicate of major U.S. and international
banks, available as support for the issuance of the company's commercial paper,
as well as for working capital and for other general corporate purposes. Texaco
has no amounts outstanding under this facility at year-end 1996. Texaco pays a
facility fee on the $1.5 billion facility. The banks reserve the right to
terminate the credit facility upon the occurrence of certain specific events,
including change in control.
At December 31, 1996, Texaco's long-term debt included $957 million of
short-term obligations scheduled to mature during 1997, which the company has
both the intent and the ability to refinance on a long-term basis, through the
use of its $1.5 billion revolving credit facility.
Contractual annual maturities of long-term debt, including sinking fund
payments and other redemption requirements, for the five years subsequent to
December 31, 1996 are as follows (in millions): 1997 - $640; 1998 - $326; 1999 -
$546; 2000 - $169; and 2001 - $169. The preceding maturities are before
consideration of short-term obligations intended to be refinanced and also
exclude capital lease obligations.
Debt-related derivatives
Texaco seeks to maintain a balanced capital structure that will provide
financial flexibility and support the company's strategic objectives while
achieving a low cost of capital. This is achieved by balancing the company's
liquidity and interest rate exposures. These exposures are managed primarily
through the use of long-term and short-term debt instruments which are reported
on the balance sheet. However,
53
off-balance sheet derivative instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, are
also used as a management tool in achieving the company's objectives. These
instruments are used to manage identifiable exposures on a non-leveraged,
non-speculative basis.
As part of its interest rate exposure management, the company seeks to
balance the benefit of the lower cost of floating rate debt, with its inherent
increased risk, with fixed rate debt having less market risk.
Summarized below are the carrying amounts and fair values of the company's
debt and debt-related derivatives at December 31, 1996 and 1995. Derivative
usage during the periods presented was limited to interest rate swaps, where the
company either paid or received the net effect of a fixed rate versus a floating
rate (commercial paper or LIBOR) index at specified intervals, calculated by
reference to an agreed notional principal amount.

Weighted average floating pay rate 4.93% 5.63%
Unamortized net gain on terminated swaps $ 5 $ 3
====================================================================================================================================
During 1996, pay fixed rate swaps having an aggregate notional principal amount
of $50 million matured. Also during 1996, pay floating rate swaps having an
aggregate notional principal amount of $13 million were amortized or matured.
Fair values noted above are based upon quoted market prices, as well as
rates currently available to the company for borrowings with similar terms and
maturities. The fair value of swaps is the estimated amount that would be
received or paid to terminate the agreements at year-end, taking into account
current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap
counterparties.
Amounts receivable or payable based on the interest rate differentials of
derivatives are accrued monthly and are reflected in interest expense as a hedge
of interest on outstanding debt. Gains and losses on terminated swaps are
deferred and amortized over the life of the associated debt or the original term
of the swap, whichever is shorter.
Since counterparties to the company's derivative transactions are major
financial institutions with strong credit ratings, exposure to credit risk on
the net interest differential on notional amounts is minimal. The notional
amounts of derivative contracts do not represent cash flow and are not subject
to credit risk. The company's counterparty credit exposure limits have been set
based upon the maturity and notional amounts of these transactions.
8 Note Eight - Lease Commitments and Rental Expense
The company has leasing arrangements involving service stations, tanker
charters, a manufacturing plant, crude oil production and processing equipment,
and other facilities. Amounts due under capital leases are reflected in the
company's balance sheet as obligations, while Texaco's interest in the related
assets is principally reflected as properties, plant and equipment. The
remaining lease commitments are operating leases, and payments on such leases
are recorded as rental expense.
54
As of December 31, 1996, Texaco Inc. and its subsidiary companies had
estimated minimum commitments for payment of rentals (net of noncancelable
sublease rentals) under leases which, at inception, had a noncancelable term of
more than one year, as follows:

Included in operating lease commitments above is $510 million on the lease of a
manufacturing plant, which expires in 1997. It is expected that an option to
purchase this plant will be exercised in conjunction with the anticipated sale
of the plant in 1997.
In 1995, Texaco as lessee entered into a lease agreement for equipment related
to the production and processing of crude oil from the Captain Field in the
United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. The equipment is principally comprised
of a movable drilling and production platform and a floating production storage
offloading vessel. The lease has an initial noncancelable term of five years
with renewal options for an additional six years. The agreement also provides
for residual value guarantees if a renewal option or purchase option is not
exercised by Texaco. Both the lease payment amounts and residual value guarantee
for this operating lease are dependent upon the final construction costs of the
equipment. Construction was completed in early 1997. The above table of
operating lease commitments includes the estimated amounts based upon
construction costs paid by the lessor through December 31, 1996. Lease payments
are expected to begin in 1997.
Rental expense (excluding discontinued operations) relative to operating leases,
including contingent rentals based on factors such as gallons sold, is provided
in the table below. Such payments do not include rentals on leases covering oil
and gas mineral rights.

9 Note Nine - Preferred Stock and Rights
Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock
An amendment to Texaco Inc.'s Employees Thrift Plan created an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) feature. In 1988, the ESOP purchased 833,333 1/3 shares of
Series B ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B) from the company for $600
per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $500 million. Texaco Inc.
guaranteed a $500 million variable-rate loan made to the ESOP which was used to
acquire the shares of Series B. Subsequently, in 1991, Texaco Inc. refinanced
approximately $103 million of the outstanding balance through a Grantor Trust
structure at a fixed interest rate. The current fixed interest rate is 6.13%.
Dividends on each share of Series B are cumulative and are payable
semiannually at the rate of $57 per annum. Dividends on Series B totaled $42
million for 1996, $43 million for 1995 and $45 million for 1994.
Participants may partially convert their Series B holdings into common
stock beginning at age 55, and may elect full conversion upon retirement or
separation from service with the company. The conversion ratio and number of
votes per share of Series B are subject to adjustment under certain conditions.
At present, each share of Series B entitles a participant to 12.9 votes, voting
together with the holders of common stock, and is convertible into 12.868 shares
of common stock. As an alternative to conversion, a participant can elect to
receive $600 per share of Series B, payable in cash or common stock. If the
participant elects to receive common stock, the company provides shares of
common stock to the plan trustee, who then transmits the shares to the
participant. Should the participant elect to receive cash, it is the intent of
the company to provide the plan trustee with shares of common stock, so that the
trustee can sell such shares in the open market and have sufficient cash to
transmit to the participant. The outstanding shares of Series B may
55
be redeemed by Texaco Inc. at $611.40 and $605.70 per share through December 19,
1997 and 1998, respectively, and at $600 per share on or after December 20,
1998. Also, Texaco Inc. may be required to redeem all outstanding shares of
Series B under certain circumstances.
Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Rights
In 1989, the company declared a dividend distribution of one Right for each
outstanding share of common stock. Under certain circumstances, each Right may
be exercised to purchase from the company a unit consisting of 1/100th of a
share (Unit) of Series D Junior Participating Preferred Stock (Series D), par
value $1.00 per share, at a purchase price of $150 per Unit (the Purchase
Price), subject to adjustment.
The Rights may be exercised only after a person has acquired, or obtained
the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the company's
common stock other than pursuant to a Qualifying Offer, or has commenced a
tender offer that would result in that person owning 20% or more of the common
stock.
A Qualifying Offer is an all-cash, fully financed tender offer for all
outstanding shares of common stock which remains open for 45 days, which results
in the acquiror owning a majority of the company's voting stock, and in which
the acquiror agrees to purchase for cash all remaining shares of common stock.
The Rights expire on April 3, 1999, or sooner, upon the acquisition of the
company pursuant to a Qualifying Offer, and may be redeemed by the company at a
price of $.01 per Right at any time prior to 10 days after the Rights become
exercisable.
In the event that a person becomes the beneficial owner of 20% or more of
the common stock other than pursuant to a Qualifying Offer, each Right will
thereafter entitle the holder to receive, upon exercise of the Right, in lieu of
the Series D, a number of shares of common stock, property, cash or other
securities having a formula value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right.
In the event that the company is acquired in a transaction in which the
company is not the surviving corporation, or in the event 50% or more of the
company's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right
thereafter has the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the
acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right.
Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, has no rights as a
stockholder of the company, including the rights to vote or to receive
dividends.
As of December 31, 1996, there were 3,000,000 shares designated as Series D
with a liquidation value of $100 per share. In general, the terms of the Series
D have been designed so that each Unit of Series D should be substantially the
economic equivalent of one share of common stock. The Series D will, if issued,
be junior to any other series of Preferred Stock which may be authorized and
issued, unless the terms of such other series provide otherwise. Each share of
the Series D which may be issued will entitle the holder to receive a quarterly
dividend equal to the greater of (i) $5.00 per share or (ii) 100 times the
quarterly dividend declared per share of common stock, subject to adjustment.
In the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of the Series D
will be entitled to receive a preferred liquidation payment of $100 per share
plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of payment, but in no event less
than an amount equal to 100 times the payment made per share of common stock, if
greater. The Series D will be redeemable as a whole, or in part, at any time, or
from time to time, at the option of the company at a redemption price per share
equal to 100 times the then market price of a share of common stock, plus
accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date. Each share of the
Series D will have 100 votes, voting together with the common stock.
In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which the
shares of common stock are exchanged, each share of the Series D will entitle
the holder thereof to receive 100 times the amount received per share of common
stock.
If dividends on the Series D are in arrears in an aggregate amount equal to
six quarterly dividends, the number of directors of the company will be
increased by two, and the holders of the Series D outstanding at the time of
such dividend arrearage, voting separately as a class with any other series of
preferred stock likewise qualified to vote, will be entitled at the next annual
meeting to elect two directors. The Series D will also have a separate class
vote on certain matters which would adversely affect the rights and preferences
of the Series D.
The Purchase Price payable and the number of Units of Series D or other
securities or property issuable upon exercise of the Rights are subject to
adjustment from time to time in certain events to prevent dilution.
Series F ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock
An amendment to Texaco Inc.'s Employees Savings Plan created an Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) feature. In 1990, the ESOP purchased 67,796.61 shares of
Series F ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock (Series F) from the company for
$737.50 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $50 million. Texaco Inc.
guaranteed a $50 million variable-rate loan made to the ESOP which was used to
acquire the shares of Series F.
Dividends on each share of Series F are cumulative and are payable
semiannually at the rate of $64.53 per annum. Annual dividends on Series F
totaled $4 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994.
56
Participants may partially convert their Series F holdings into common
stock beginning at age 55, and may elect full conversion upon retirement or
separation from service with the company. The conversion ratio and number of
votes per share of Series F are subject to adjustment under certain conditions.
At present, each share of Series F entitles a participant to 10 votes, voting
together with the holders of common stock, and is convertible into 10 shares of
common stock. As an alternative to conversion, a participant can elect to
receive $737.50 per share of Series F, in cash or common stock. If the
participant elects to receive common stock, the company provides shares of
common stock to the plan trustee, who then transmits the shares to the
participant. Should the participant elect to receive cash, it is the intent of
the company to provide the plan trustee with shares of common stock, so that the
trustee can sell such shares in the open market and have sufficient cash to
transmit to the participant. The outstanding shares of Series F may be redeemed
by Texaco Inc. at $756.86, $750.41 and $743.95 per share through February 12,
1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively, and at $737.50 per share on or after February
13, 2000. Also, Texaco Inc. may be required to redeem all outstanding shares of
Series F under certain circumstances.
Market Auction Preferred Shares
In 1992, the company issued 1,200 shares of cumulative variable rate preferred
stock, called Market Auction Preferred Shares (MAPS) in a private placement, for
an aggregate purchase price of $300 million. The MAPS are grouped into four
series (300 shares each of Series G, H, I and J) of $75 million each.
The dividend rates for each series are determined by Dutch auctions
conducted at seven-week intervals. The length of the dividend periods can be
changed at each auction. Alternatively, the dividend rate and the dividend
period can be negotiated with potential investors.
During 1996, the annual dividend rate for the MAPS ranged between 3.90% and
4.19% and dividends totaled $12 million ($9,510, $11,043, $11,009 and $11,015
per share for series G, H, I and J, respectively).
For 1995, the annual dividend rate for the MAPS ranged between 4.22% and
4.65% and dividends totaled $13 million ($12,255, $10,558, $10,521 and $10,531
per share for Series G, H, I and J, respectively). For 1994, the annual dividend
rate for the MAPS ranged between 2.48% and 4.57% and dividends totaled $10
million ($7,784, $8,057, $9,156 and $9,356 per share for Series G, H, I and J,
respectively).
The company may redeem the MAPS, in whole or in part at any time at a
liquidation preference of $250,000 per share, plus premium, if any, and accrued
and unpaid dividends thereon.
The MAPS are non-voting, except under certain limited circumstances.
Series C and Series E Variable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock
On September 30, 1994, the company redeemed in cash and retired all outstanding
shares of Series C. For 1994, dividends on the Series C totaled $13 million
($2.43 per share).
On November 8, 1994, the company exchanged 6.1 million shares of its common
stock held in treasury, which were acquired during the year, for all the issued
and outstanding shares of Series E, which were then retired. For 1994, dividends
on the Series E totaled $19 million ($4,850 per share).
10 Note Ten - Foreign Currency
Currency translations from continuing operations resulted in a pre-tax loss of
$60 million in 1996, compared to a gain of $23 million in 1995 and a loss of $18
million in 1994. After applicable taxes, the loss in 1996 was $66 million,
compared to a gain in 1995 of $30 million and a loss in 1994 of $49 million.
These amounts include Texaco's equity in such gains and losses of affiliates
accounted for on the equity method of accounting.
Currency exchange impacts for the years 1994 through 1996 were primarily
due to the effects of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" with respect to the
Pound Sterling on deferred income taxes, as well as the impact of strong
inflationary factors within developing countries and the Caltex area.
Currency translation adjustments reflected in the separate stockholders'
equity account result from translation items pertaining to certain affiliates of
Caltex. During the year 1996, losses of $66 million resulted from these
adjustments, as well as the reversal of a $60 million existing deferred gain due
to the sale by Caltex of its investment in NPRC. As a result, a $60 million gain
was included in Texaco's net income as part of the gain on this sale. During the
year 1995, losses of $26 million in stockholders' equity resulted from the
effects of currency translation adjustments.

The deferred income tax assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 amounted to $242 million and $99
million, respectively, as net current assets and $795 million and $634 million,
respectively, as net noncurrent liabilities. The table that follows shows
deferred income tax assets and liabilities by category. Deferred income taxes
are not recorded on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of
investments in stock of subsidiary companies, unless realization of the effect
is probable in the foreseeable future. Certain potential deferred tax asset
amounts for which possibility of realization is deemed extremely remote have
been eliminated and are therefore excluded from the following table:

====================================================================================================================================
For companies operating in the United States, pre-tax earnings from
continuing operations before cumulative effect of accounting change aggregated
$1,783 million in 1996, $40 million in 1995 and $402 million in 1994. For
companies with operations located outside the United States, pre-tax earnings on
that basis aggregated $1,200 million in 1996, $946 million in 1995 and $802
million in 1994.
Income taxes paid, net of refunds, amounted to $917 million, $554 million
and $329 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The undistributed earnings of subsidiary companies and of affiliated
corporate joint-venture companies accounted for on the equity method, for which
deferred U.S. income taxes have not been provided at December 31, 1996 amounted
to $1,302 million and $2,124 million, respectively. The corresponding amounts at
December 31, 1995 were $1,262 million and $2,308 million, respectively.
Recording of deferred income taxes on these undistributed earnings is not
required relative to foreign companies and pre-1993 earnings of domestic
companies when the earnings have been permanently reinvested. These amounts
would be subject to possible U.S. taxation only if remitted as dividends. The
determination of the hypothetical amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. taxes on
undistributed earnings of foreign entities is not practicable. For domestic
entities, such unrecorded deferred income taxes were not material.
For the year 1996, a benefit of $54 million was recorded for the
utilization of loss carryforwards in the 1995 U.S. Federal income tax return.
For the years 1995 and 1994 there was no utilization of loss carryforwards
recorded for U.S. Federal income taxes. For the years 1996, 1995 and 1994, the
utilization of loss carryforwards resulted in income tax benefits of $16
million, $13 million and $57 million in foreign income taxes, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, Texaco had worldwide tax basis loss carryforwards of
approximately $2,347 million, including $1,044 million which do not have an
expiration date. The remainder expire at various dates through 2012.
Foreign tax credit carryforwards available for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes amounted to approximately $223 million at December 31, 1996, expiring
at various dates through 2001. Alternative minimum tax and other tax credit
carryforwards available for U.S. Federal income tax purposes were $351 million
at December 31, 1996, of which $347 million have no expiration date. The
remaining credits expire at various dates through 2011. The credits that are not
utilized by the expiration dates may be taken as deductions for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes. In 1996, tax credit carryforwards of $43 million were
utilized for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
12 Note Twelve - Employee Benefit Plans
Texaco Inc. and certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries sponsor various benefit
plans for active employees and retirees. The costs of the savings, health care
and life insurance plans relative to employees' active service are shared by the
company and its employees, with Texaco's costs for these plans charged to
expense as incurred. In addition, reserves for employee benefit plans are
provided principally for the unfunded costs of various pension plans, retiree
health and life insurance benefits, incentive compensation plans and for
separation benefits payable to employees.
The discussion of employee benefit plans that follows is for total plan
activity, including benefits and amounts applicable to employees of the
discontinued operations. Amounts relative to the discontinued operations are not
material for any of the years discussed.
Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP)
Texaco recorded ESOP expense of $15 million in 1996, $28 million in 1995 and $20
million in 1994. Company contributions to the Employees Thrift Plan of Texaco
Inc. and the Employees Savings Plan of Texaco Inc. (the Plans) amounted to $26
million in 1996, $17 million in 1995 and $20 million in 1994. These Plans are
designed to provide participants with a benefit of approximately 6% of base pay.
Included in the 1996 and 1995 ESOP expense is $9 million and $11 million,
respectively, for an employee incentive award program. Award payments were made
in early 1996 to individual participants' ESOP accounts.
In 1996, 1995 and 1994, the company paid $46 million, $47 million and $49
million, respectively, in dividends on Series B and Series F stock. The
dividends are applied by the trustee to fund interest payments which amounted to
$10 million, $14 million and $13 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
as well as to reduce principal on the ESOP loans. Dividends on the shares of
Series B and Series F used to service debt of the Plans are tax deductible to
the company.
Reflected in Texaco's long-term debt are the Plans' ESOP loans which are
guaranteed by Texaco Inc. Commensurate with each repayment on the ESOP loans and
as a result of the allocation of the Series B and Series F stock by the trustee
of the Plans to the individual participating employees, there is a reduction in
the remaining ESOP-related unearned employee compensation included as a
component of stockholders' equity.
59
Benefit Plan Trust
During 1995, Texaco established a benefit plan trust (Trust) for funding company
obligations under certain benefit plans. Texaco transferred four million shares
of treasury stock to the Trust. The company intends to continue to pay its
obligations under its benefit plans. The Trust will use the shares, proceeds
from the sale of such shares and dividends on such shares to pay benefits only
to the extent not paid by the company. The shares held in the Trust will be
voted by the trustee as instructed by the Trust's beneficiaries. The shares held
by the Trust are not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes
until distributed or sold by the Trust in payment of benefit obligations.
Pension Plans
The company sponsors pension plans that cover the majority of employees.
Generally, these plans provide defined pension benefits based on years of
service and final average pay. However, the level of benefits and terms of
vesting vary among plans. Amounts charged to pension expense, as well as amounts
funded, are generally based on actuarial studies. Pension plan assets are
administered by trustees and are principally invested in equity and fixed income
securities and deposits with insurance companies.
The total worldwide expense for all employee pension plans of Texaco,
including pension supplementations and the smaller non-U.S. plans, was $91
million in 1996, $86 million in 1995 and $109 million in 1994.
The following data are provided for U.S. plans and principal non-U.S.
plans:

The assumed long-term return on plan assets for U.S. plans was 10% for 1996 and
1995, and 9% for 1994; for non-U.S. plans the weighted average rate was 8.7% for
1996 and 1995, and 8.5% for 1994.

Other Postretirement Benefits
Texaco sponsors postretirement plans in the U.S. that provide health care and
life insurance for retirees and eligible dependents. The company's U.S. health
insurance obligation is its fixed dollar contribution. The plans are unfunded,
and the costs are shared by the company and its employees and retirees.
The determination of the company's obligation is based on the terms of the
life and health insurance plans, along with applicable actuarial assumptions.
The company continues to fund these benefit costs on a pay-as-you-go basis, with
retirees paying the excess over the company's fixed dollar contribution for
health insurance. For employees who retire from Texaco between age 55 and 65,
most will be eligible to receive health care benefits, similar to those
available to active employees, as well as life insurance benefits. The company's
cost to provide these postretirement benefits for health insurance is currently
equal to the company's cost for an active employee. After attaining age 65, the
retirees' health care coverage is coordinated with available Medicare benefits.
Fixed dollar contributions for health care benefits are determined annually
by the company. For measurement purposes, no increase is expected in the per
capita company contribution in 1997. Commencing in 1998, the fixed dollar
contribution is expected to increase
61
by 4% per annum for both pre-age 65 and post-age 65 retirees for all future
years. The assumed fixed dollar contributions do not necessarily represent an
obligation of the company.
Assuming a 1% increase in the annual rate of increase in the fixed dollar
contribution for health insurance, the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation and annual expense would increase by approximately $49 million and $5
million, respectively.
Certain of the company's non-U.S. subsidiaries have postretirement benefit
plans. However, most retirees outside the U.S. are covered by government
sponsored and administered programs, the cost of which is not significant to the
company.

postretirement plans:

13 Note Thirteen - Stock Incentive Plan
Under the company's stock incentive plan (the Plan) approved by stockholders,
stock options and restricted stock may be granted to executives and certain key
employees. The total number of shares available each year for issuance under the
Plan through December 31, 2002 is eight-tenths of one percent (0.8%) of the
aggregate number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on December 31
of the previous year, adjusted for certain plan activity. Shares not issued in
the current year are available for future grant. The option price per share
cannot be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date
granted unless adjusted as provided in the Plan.
The following table summarizes the number of shares at December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 available for awards during the subsequent year:
(Shares) As of December 31 1996 1995 1994

===================================================================================
During 1996, Texaco adopted the disclosure provision versus fair value method of
accounting for stock-based compensation associated with the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS
123). Consistent with this adoption, the company has elected to continue to
account for stock options by applying the guidelines of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). Had stock
options been accounted for based on the fair value method of SFAS 123, the
impact on net income would not be material and, therefore, no pro forma
disclosures are provided. Stock options granted under the Plan extend for 10
years from the date of grant and become 50% exercisable on the first
anniversary. These options are fully exercisable on the second anniversary,
except for the January 1990 awards, which became fully exercisable on the fourth
anniversary of the award.
The Plan permits the company to grant restored options to a participant in
the Plan who has previously been granted stock options. This feature enables a
participant, who exercises an option by exchanging previously acquired common
stock or who has shares withheld by the company to satisfy tax withholding
obligations, to receive new options, exercisable at the then market value, for
the same number of shares as were exchanged or withheld. Under existing
regulations, restored options are fully exercisable six months after the date of
grant.
Option activity during 1996, 1995 and 1994 is summarized in the following
table:

14 Note Fourteen - Other Financial Information and Commitments
Environmental Reserves
Texaco Inc. and subsidiary companies have financial reserves relating to
environmental remediation programs which the company believes are sufficient for
known requirements. At December 31, 1996, reserves for future environmental
remediation costs amounted to $591 million and reserves relative to the future
cost of restoring and abandoning existing oil and gas properties were $813
million. Texaco's significant affiliates also have recorded reserves for
environmental remediation and restoration and abandonment costs.
Texaco has provided, to the extent reasonably measurable, financial
reserves for its probable environmental remediation liabilities. The recording
of these obligations is based on technical evaluations of the currently
available facts, interpretation of the regulations and the company's experience
with similar sites. Additional financial reserve requirements relative to
existing and new remediation sites may be necessary in the future when more
facts are known. The potential also exists for further legislation to provide
limitations on liability. It is not possible to project the overall costs or a
range of costs for environmental items beyond that disclosed above due to
uncertainty surrounding future developments, both in relation to remediation
exposure and to regulatory initiatives. However, while future environmental
expenditures that will be incurred by the petroleum industry are expected to be
significant in the absolute, they will be a cost of doing business that will
have to be recovered in the marketplace. Moreover, it is not believed that such
future costs will be material to the company's financial position nor to its
operating results over any reasonable period of time.
Preferred Stock of Subsidiary Companies
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, minority holders owned $602 million of preferred
stock of subsidiary companies. Such amounts are reflected as minority interest
in subsidiary companies in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
In October 1993, a wholly owned subsidiary, MVP Production Inc., issued
variable rate cumulative preferred stock in a private placement for an aggregate
purchase price of $75 million. The shares have voting rights in the subsidiary
and are redeemable on September 30, 2003. Annual dividends on these shares
totaled $4 million for both 1996 and 1995 and $3 million for 1994.
In November 1993, a wholly owned subsidiary, Texaco Capital LLC, issued 14
million shares of Cumulative Guaranteed Monthly Income Preferred Shares, Series
A (Series A), in a public offering, for an aggregate purchase price of $350
million. In June 1994, Texaco Capital LLC issued 4.5 million shares of
Cumulative Adjustable Rate Monthly Income Preferred Shares, Series B (Series B),
in a public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $112 million. In
December 1995, Texaco Capital LLC issued 3.6 million shares of Deferred
Preferred Shares, Series C (Series C) in Canadian dollars, in a public offering,
for an aggregate purchase price of $65 million. Texaco Capital LLC's sole assets
are notes receivable from Texaco Inc.
The fixed dividend rate for Series A is 67/8% per annum. The dividend rate
for Series B averaged 5.9% per annum for 1996 and 6.26% for 1995. The initial
dividend rate for Series B was 6.4% per annum from June, 1994 through September
30, 1994 and 6.75% per annum for the fourth quarter of 1994. The dividend rate
on Series B is reset quarterly and is equal to 88% of the highest of three U.S.
Treasury maturities (three-month, ten-year and thirty-year), but in no event
less than 4.5% per annum nor greater than 10.5% per annum. The
63
payment of dividends and payments on liquidation or redemption with respect to
Series A and Series B are guaranteed by Texaco Inc. Dividends on Series A and
Series B are paid monthly. Dividends on Series A for 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled
$24 million for each year. Annual dividends on Series B totaled $7 million for
both 1996 and 1995 and $4 million for 1994.
Series A and Series B are redeemable, at the option of Texaco Capital LLC
(with Texaco Inc.'s consent) in whole or in part, from time to time, at $25 per
share on or after October 31, 1998 for Series A and June 30, 1999 for Series B,
plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for
redemption. In addition, under certain circumstances, Texaco Capital LLC (with
Texaco Inc.'s consent) can redeem Series A and Series B at any time, in whole or
in part, at $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
Dividends on Series C at a rate of 7.17% per annum, compounded annually,
will be paid at the redemption date of February 28, 2005 unless earlier
redemption occurs. Early redemption may result upon the occurrence of certain
specific events. The payment of dividends and payments on liquidation or
redemption of Series C are guaranteed by Texaco Inc. The par value and dividends
payable in Canadian dollars have been hedged by a swap contract to eliminate
foreign currency risk.
Series A, Series B and Series C are non-voting, except under certain
limited circumstances.
The above preferred stock issues currently require annual dividend payments
of approximately $35 million. The company is required to redeem $75 million of
this preferred stock in 2003, $65 million (plus accreted dividends of $59
million) in 2005, $112 million in 2024 and $350 million in 2043. Texaco has the
ability to extend the required redemption dates for the $112 million and $350
million of preferred stock beyond 2024 and 2043, respectively.
Financial Guarantees
The company has guaranteed the payment of certain debt and other obligations of
third parties and affiliate companies. These guarantees totaled $246 million and
$206 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Exposure to credit risk in the event of non-payment by the obligors is
represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. No loss is
anticipated under these guarantees.
Throughput Agreements
Texaco Inc. and certain of its subsidiary companies have entered into certain
long-term agreements wherein they have committed either to ship through
affiliated pipeline companies and an offshore oil port, or to refine at an
affiliated refining company a sufficient volume of crude oil or petroleum
products to enable these affiliated companies to meet a specified portion of
their individual debt obligations, or, in lieu thereof, to advance sufficient
funds to enable these affiliated companies to meet these obligations.
Additionally, Texaco has entered into long-term purchase commitments with third
parties for take or pay gas transportation. At December 31, 1996 and 1995 the
company's maximum exposure to loss was estimated to be $629 million and $713
million, respectively.
However, based on Texaco's right of counterclaim against third parties in
the event of nonperformance, Texaco's net exposure was estimated to be $489
million and $546 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
No losses are anticipated as a result of these obligations.
Other Commitments
In 1995 and 1996, Texaco sold leasehold interests in certain equipment not yet
in service and received British pound payments totaling $509 million. Additional
British pound payments will be received in 1997, contingent upon the amount of
future costs of the equipment prior to the in-service date. Under a related
agreement, Texaco as lessee will lease back these leasehold interests. The lease
provides that collateral or third party security in specified forms is required
as a guarantee of the lease payments. Texaco intends to satisfy this requirement
by a British pound payment in 1997, resulting in the release of Texaco from
future lease commitments under this agreement. This payment will effectively
repurchase the leasehold interests previously sold.
15 Note Fifteen Financial Instruments
In the normal course of its business, the company utilizes various types of
financial instruments. These instruments include recorded assets and
liabilities, and also items which principally involve off-balance sheet risk.
Information about the company's financial instruments, including derivatives, is
presented below.
Cash and cash equivalents - Fair value approximates cost as reflected in
the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 1996 and 1995 because of the
short-term maturities of these instruments. Cash equivalents are classified as
held-to-maturity. The amortized cost of cash equivalents was as follows:

Short-term and long-term investments - Fair value is primarily based on quoted
market prices and valuation statements obtained from major financial
institutions. Information concerning investments held at December 31, 1996 and
1995 in short-term and long-term debt securities and in publicly-traded equity
securities that are classified as available-for-sale is shown in the tables that
follow. Excluded from the tables is a $4 million investment in a time deposit at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, which the company intends to hold to its maturity in
the year 2001.

Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities were $1,503 million in
1996, $1,175 million in 1995 and $610 million in 1994. These sales resulted in
gross realized gains of $51 million in 1996, $81 million in 1995 and $19 million
in 1994, and, gross realized losses of $17 million, $27 million, and $14
million, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, available-for-sale debt securities had the following
scheduled maturities:

Forward Exchange and Option Contracts - As an international company, Texaco is
exposed to currency exchange risk. To hedge against adverse changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, the company will enter into forward and option
contracts to buy and sell foreign currencies. Shown below in U.S. dollars are
the notional amounts of outstanding forward exchange contracts to buy and sell
foreign currencies.

===========================================================================================================================
* Including British pound buy contracts hedging the commitment to repurchase
leasehold interests - See Note 14 "Other Commitments"
Market risk exposure on these contracts is essentially limited to currency rate
movements. At year-end 1996, there were $39 million unrealized gains and $2
million unrealized losses related to
65
these contracts. At year-end 1995, unrealized gains and losses related to these
contracts were immaterial, since the contractual forward rates approximated
year-end spot rates. The company's exposure to credit risk on forward exchange
and option contracts is minimal, since the counterparties are major financial
institutions with strong credit ratings. The company does not anticipate
nonperformance by any of the various counterparties.
The company uses forward exchange contracts to buy foreign currencies
primarily to hedge the net monetary liability position of its European and
Australian operations and to hedge portions of significant foreign currency
capital expenditures and lease commitments. These contracts generally have terms
of 60 days or less. Contracts that hedge foreign currency monetary positions are
marked-to-market monthly. Any resultant gains and losses are included in income
currently as other costs. At year-end 1996 and 1995, hedges of foreign currency
commitments principally involve capital projects requiring expenditure of
British pounds and Danish krone. Approximately 68% of planned British pound
expenditures and 49% Danish krone expenditures were hedged at year-end 1996. At
year-end 1995, approximately one-third of the planned Danish krone and British
pound expenditures were hedged. Realized gains and losses on hedges of foreign
currency commitments are initially recorded to deferred charges. Subsequently,
the amounts are applied to the capitalized project cost on a
percentage-of-completion basis, and are then amortized over the lives of the
applicable projects. At year-end 1996 and 1995, net hedging gains of $84 million
and $23 million, respectively, had yet to be amortized.
Contracts to sell foreign currencies are primarily related to a separately
managed program to hedge the value of the company's investment portfolio
denominated in foreign currencies. The company's strategy is to hedge the full
value of this portion of its investment portfolio and to close out forward
contracts upon the sale or maturity of the corresponding investments. These
contracts are valued at market based on the foreign exchange rates in effect on
the balance sheet dates. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as
part of the carrying amount of the related investments. Related gains and losses
are recorded, net of applicable income taxes, to stockholders' equity until the
underlying investments are sold or mature.
At year-end 1996, there were open option contracts to sell Brazilian real
for $40 million which hedged a net monetary asset position in the company's
Brazilian operations. There were no unrealized gains at year-end 1996 related to
these options.
Interest Rate and Currency Swap - In connection with the December 1995 sale of
Series C preferred stock by Texaco Capital LLC, Texaco entered into an interest
rate and currency swap contract that matures in the year 2005.
Over the life of the interest rate swap component of the contract, Texaco
will make LIBOR-based floating rate interest payments based on a notional
principal amount of $65 million. Canadian dollar interest will accrue to Texaco
at a fixed rate applied to the accreted notional principal amount, which was
Cdn. $87 million at the inception of the swap.
The currency swap component of the transaction calls for Texaco to exchange
$65 million for Cdn. $170 million, which includes Cdn. $87 million plus accrued
interest on the contract's maturity date. The carrying amount of this contract
represents the Canadian dollar accrued interest receivable by Texaco. At
year-end 1996, the carrying amount and the fair value of this transaction were
not material.
Commodity Hedging - The company hedges a portion of the market risks associated
with its crude oil, natural gas and petroleum product purchases, sales and
exchange activities. All hedge transactions are subject to the company's
corporate risk management policy which sets out dollar, volumetric and term
limits, as well as to management approvals as set forth in the company's
delegations of authorities. Company policy does not permit speculative position
taking using derivative financial instruments.
The company uses established petroleum futures exchanges, as well as
"over-the-counter" hedge instruments, including forwards, options, swaps and
other derivative products. These hedge tools are used to reduce the company's
exposure to price volatility by establishing margins, costs or revenues on
designated transactions as well as for planned future purchases and sales,
inventory, production and processing. In carrying out its hedging programs, the
company analyzes its major commodity streams for fixed cost, fixed revenue and
margin exposure to market price changes. Based on this corporate risk profile,
forecasted trends, and overall business objectives, a determination is made as
to an appropriate strategy for risk reduction.
Hedge positions are marked-to-market for valuation purposes. Gains and
losses on hedge transactions, which offset losses and gains on the underlying
"cash market" transactions, are recorded to deferred income or charges until the
hedged transaction is closed, or until the anticipated future purchases, sales,
or production occur. At that time, any gain or loss on the hedging contract is
recorded to operating revenues as an increase or decrease in margins, or to
inventory, as appropriate.
Over-the-counter hedge positions expose the company to counterparty credit
risk. However, because the hedge contracts are placed with parties whose
creditworthiness has been pre-determined in accordance with the company's credit
policy, non-performance by any counterparty is not anticipated. Such
over-the-counter commodity contracts do not expose the company to any
concentrations of credit risk because of the dollar limits incorporated in risk
management policies.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were open derivative commodity
contracts required to be settled in cash, consisting mostly of swaps. Notional
contract amounts, excluding unrealized gains and losses, were $1,327 million and
$868 million, respectively, at year-end 1996 and 1995. These amounts principally
represent future values of contract volumes over the remaining duration of
outstanding swap contracts at the respective dates. These contracts hedge a
small fraction of the company's business activities, generally for the next
twelve months. Unrealized gains and losses on contracts outstanding at year-end
1996 were $63 million and $48 million, respectively. At year-end 1995,
unrealized gains and losses were $28 million and $67 million, respectively.

16 Note Sixteen - Contingent Liabilities
Internal Revenue Service Claims
In 1989, Texaco commenced an action in the United States Tax Court (Tax Court)
to challenge an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) claim that, during the 1979-1981
years, Texaco should be taxed as if it had resold Saudi crude oil at prices
higher than those mandated by the Saudi Arab Government (Aramco Advantage
issue).
In 1993, the Tax Court issued an opinion upholding the company's position
on the Aramco Advantage issue. The Tax Court held that the IRS was barred from
taxing the company on income never received, and which could only have been
received by violating Saudi law. Finding that the Saudi Arab Government's
mandate represented the sovereign law of that country, the Tax Court determined
that the company was required to comply with the Saudi Arab Government's mandate
and did in fact observe it. The IRS appealed, in November 1995, to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Fifth Circuit). The Fifth Circuit
affirmed, in October 1996, the favorable Tax Court opinion. In January 1997, the
IRS petitioned for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court,
seeking reversal of the favorable Fifth Circuit opinion.
In 1988, prior to the commencement of the Tax Court action, the company, as
a condition of its emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, agreed to make certain
cash deposits with the IRS in contemplation of potential tax claims (Deposit
Fund). From time to time, the company has applied Deposit Fund amounts to final
liabilities agreed upon by the company and the IRS for income tax and windfall
profit tax years of Texaco and Getty not involved in the Tax Court litigation. A
portion of the Deposit Fund also will be applied to issues settled in the Tax
Court litigation years. After satisfaction of all liabilities associated with
settled issues, it is anticipated that in excess of $700 million will remain in
the Deposit Fund and continue to accrue interest. If the company ultimately
prevails on the appeal of the Aramco Advantage issue, the amount remaining in
the Deposit Fund will be refunded to the company, with interest.
Other Matters
Texaco and approximately fifty other oil companies are defendants in fourteen
purported class actions in which the plaintiffs allege that the defendants
undervalued oil produced from properties leased from the plaintiffs by
establishing artificially low selling prices, thereby underpaying to plaintiffs
royalties or severance taxes based on those prices. The actions are pending in
Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Utah and Alabama. Plaintiffs seek to
recover royalty underpayments and interest and in some cases severance taxes and
treble and punitive damages.

In the company's opinion, while it is impossible to ascertain the ultimate
legal and financial liability with respect to the above-mentioned and other
contingent liabilities and commitments, including lawsuits, claims, guarantees,
taxes and regulations, the aggregate amount of such liability in excess of
financial reserves, together with deposits and prepayments made against disputed
tax claims, is not anticipated to be materially important in relation to the
consolidated financial position or results of operations of Texaco Inc. and its
subsidiaries.
17 Note Seventeen - Financial Data by Geographic Area
Texaco Inc. and its subsidiary companies, together with affiliates, represent a
vertically integrated enterprise principally engaged in the worldwide
exploration for and production, transportation, refining and marketing of crude
oil, natural gas and petroleum and other processed products, as well as
nonpetroleum operations such as insurance and alternate energy activities. These
products and services are sold and provided to various purchasers including
wholesale and retail distributors, utilities, industrial end users and
governmental agencies throughout the world. Operations and investments in some
foreign areas are subject to political and business risks, the nature of which
varies from country to country and from time to time. At year-end 1996, net
assets located outside the United States amounted to $1,159 million, $3,249
million and $2,771 million in Other Western Hemisphere, Europe and Other Eastern
Hemisphere areas, respectively.
Operating profit represents total sales and services as shown on the
Statement of Consolidated Income less operating costs and expenses, net of
income taxes. Corporate/nonoperating includes interest income and expense,
general corporate expenses and other nonoperating items, net of income taxes.
Equity in income or losses of partnership joint-venture companies is reflected
net of taxes, since this income is directly taxable to Texaco.
Intergeographic sales and services shown are based on prices which are
generally representative of market prices or arm's-length negotiated prices.
Identifiable assets are those from continuing operations which can be
directly identified or associated with operations which have been geographically
segregated. Net assets of discontinued operations (see Note 3) are reflected in
corporate/nonoperating to conform to the presentation of net loss from
discontinued operations. Investments in affiliates pertain to those affiliates
which are accounted for on the equity method. Corporate assets include cash and
cash investments, as well as receivables, properties, plant and equipment and
other assets which are corporate in nature.

REPORT OF Texaco Inc.
MANAGEMENT and Subsidiary Companies
The consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the management
of Texaco Inc. They were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and are, in part, based on certain estimates and
judgments, as required. Other information contained in this Annual Report is
presented on a basis consistent with the financial statements.
To meet these responsibilities, it is Texaco's long-established corporate
policy to maintain a control conscious environment and an effective internal
control system throughout its worldwide operations. Included in this system are
Corporate Conduct Guidelines which require that all employees maintain the
highest level of ethical standards. The internal control system provides
reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition, and that financial records are accurately and
objectively maintained, thus serving as a reliable basis for the preparation of
financial statements. This system is augmented by written policies and
procedures and an organizational structure that provides for an appropriate
division of responsibility. Management personnel are required to formally
certify each year that an effective internal control system is maintained. The
internal controls are complemented by Texaco's internal auditors who conduct
regular and extensive internal audits throughout the company. In addition, the
independent public accounting firm of Arthur Andersen LLP is engaged to provide
an objective, independent audit of the company's financial statements. Their
accompanying report is based on an audit conducted in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, which included obtaining a sufficient understanding
of the company's internal controls to plan their audit and determine the nature,
timing and extent of audit tests to be performed. In conducting their audits,
the auditors have access to the minutes of all meetings of the company's Board
of Directors. The appointment of the independent auditors is presented to the
stockholders for approval at each Annual Meeting of the Stockholders.
The Board of Directors of Texaco Inc. maintains an Audit Committee which
has been in place since 1939. This Committee, currently comprised of six
non-employee Directors, met two times in 1996. Depending on the nature of the
matters under review, the independent auditors, as well as certain officers and
employees of the company, may attend all or part of a meeting. The Committee
reviews and evaluates the company's accounting policies and reporting practices,
internal auditing, internal controls, security procedures and other matters
deemed appropriate. The Audit Committee also reviews the performance of Arthur
Andersen LLP in their audit of Texaco's financial statements and evaluates their
independence and professional competence, as well as the scope of their audit.
Both the internal and independent auditors have unrestricted access to the Audit
Committee to discuss the results of their audits and the quality of the
company's financial reporting and internal control system.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders, Texaco Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Texaco Inc. (a
Delaware corporation) and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related statements of consolidated income, cash flows and stockholders'
equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Texaco Inc. and subsidiary
companies as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As explained in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in 1995
the company changed its method of accounting for long-lived assets to be held
and used and long-lived assets to be disposed of.

SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND Texaco Inc.
GAS INFORMATION and Subsidiary Companies
The following information for Texaco Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries, as well
as Texaco's equity in P.T. Caltex Pacific Indonesia (CPI), a 50%-owned affiliate
operating in Other Eastern Hemisphere areas, is presented in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures about Oil and
Gas Producing Activities" (SFAS 69).
Estimated Proved Reserves
Volumes reported for proved liquid and gas reserves are based upon reasonable
estimates. These estimates are consistent with current knowledge of the
characteristics and production history of the reserves. Although they are based
upon sound geological and engineering principles, by their very nature, such
estimates are subject to upward and downward revision as additional information
about producing fields and technology becomes available. Reported volumes
include only such reserves as can reasonably be classified as proved. Net
reserves represent the volumes estimated to be available after deduction of the
royalty interests of others from gross reserves. In addition to reported
reserves, Texaco has a large inventory of potential reserves that will add to
the company's proved reserve base as future investments are made in exploration
and development programs.
CPI's estimated liquid reserves include volumes projected to be recovered
as reimbursement for a portion of costs incurred. Accordingly, these volumes
will fluctuate annually with the price of crude oil. CPI's natural gas
production is all consumed in its operations.
Annually, Texaco Inc. provides information concerning oil and gas reserves
to the U.S. Department of Energy and to certain governmental bodies. Such
information is consistent with the information presented in this Annual Report.
During 1996, reserve increases, including equity and excluding purchases
and sales, replaced 113% of worldwide combined oil and gas production. Of such
reserve replacements, 87% were additions comprised of new fields, new sands, new
plants, extensions, and improved recovery, and 13% were comprised of revisions
to previous estimates. Texaco recognizes only those reserves where it is
reasonably certain that such reserves can be economically produced. Subsequent
revisions naturally result as new information is obtained from development
drilling, production profiles, and changes in economic factors. During the
three-year period 1994-1996, Texaco's reserve increases were 118% of worldwide
production. During this period, additions accounted for 80% of reserve increases
and revisions accounted for 20%. During the five-year period 1992-1996, Texaco's
reserve increases were 112% of worldwide production. During this period,
additions accounted for 72% of reserve increases and revisions accounted for
28%. Increases in proved reserves during 1996 were primarily due to the
following:
In the United States, liquid and gas reserves were added from drilling that
extended the productive limits of existing fields, such as the Carthage field in
Texas. Other drilling-related liquid and gas reserve increases resulted from the
discovery of new productive formations in California, Texas and onshore and
offshore Louisiana. Liquid reserve increases also resulted from improved
recovery in fields in Texas, Utah and New Mexico and at steamflood operations in
California as a result of expanding the steamflood. Extension of contracts at
plants in New Mexico and Oklahoma, plus the addition of a CO2 plant in New
Mexico, added liquid reserves.
Outside the United States, in the Other Western Hemisphere area,
significant gas reserves were added from the discovery of a new productive
formation in a gas field offshore Trinidad. Substantial volumes of new gas were
added from offshore platform drilling that extended the size of a producing
field in Colombia. In Europe, increases in liquid and gas reserves were from
extensions in an offshore field in the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea.
Additional volumes of liquids and gas reserves were added from a new field in
the Danish sector of the North Sea along with improved performance from the
North Sea fields, Roar (Danish sector) and Britannia (U.K.). In the Other
Eastern Hemisphere area, significant liquid reserves were added from extensions
as a result of additional drilling at a field in the Partitioned Neutral Zone
between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In China, new liquid reserves were added from
the discovery of new production fields. Affiliate liquid reserves in Indonesia
were improved significantly due to expanding of the world's largest steamflood
project to new areas.
During 1997, Texaco expects that net production of natural gas will
approximate 2.3 billion cubic feet per day. This estimate is based upon past
performance and on the assumption that such gas quantities can be produced under
operating and economic conditions existing at December 31, 1996. Possible future
changes in prices or world economic conditions were not factored into this
estimate. These expected production volumes, together with normal related supply
arrangements, are sufficient to meet anticipated delivery requirements under
contractual arrangements. Approximately 34% of Texaco's proved natural gas
reserves in the United States as of December 31, 1996, 31% at December 31, 1995
and 33% at December 31, 1994 were covered by long-term sales contracts. These
agreements are primarily priced at market.

Costs Incurred
Costs Incurred represent amounts capitalized or charged against income as
expended. Property acquisition costs include costs to purchase or lease proved
and unproved properties. Exploration costs include the costs of geological and
geophysical work, carrying and retaining undeveloped properties and drilling and
equipping exploratory wells. Development costs include expenditures to drill and
equip development wells; to provide improved recovery systems; to construct
facilities for extraction, treating, gathering and storing liquids and natural
gas; and to maintain producing facilities for existing developed reserves.
Exploration and development costs include applicable depreciation of support
equipment and facilities used in those activities, rather than the expenditures
to acquire such assets. Development costs incurred in Europe during 1994 for the
Captain Field include $59 million which was recovered during 1995 in a sale of
incomplete construction on property to be leased by Texaco. (See Note 8.)

Results of Operations - Oil and Gas Exploration and Producing Activities
The results below solely relate to Texaco's exploration for and net production
of liquids and natural gas reserves. They exclude special items (including the
effect associated with the adoption of SFAS 121, which resulted in a net-of-tax
non-cash charge against 1995 earnings of $496 million, principally in the United
States) and operating earnings related to the sale of purchased oil and gas,
equity earnings of certain affiliates, liquids and gas trading activity, general
overhead, and miscellaneous operating income. Related estimated income tax
expense was computed by applying the statutory income tax rates, including state
and local income taxes, to the pre-tax results of operations and reflects
applicable credits and allowances.

Average sales prices per unit are based upon the gross revenues reported in the
Results of Operations - Oil and Gas Exploration and Producing Activities table.
Average production costs per composite barrel include related depreciation,
depletion and amortization of support equipment and facilities. It also includes
cash lifting costs, excluding payments for royalties and income taxes. However,
users of this information are cautioned that such income taxes and royalties
substantially add to the total cost of producing operations and substantially
reduce the profitability and cash flow from such operations.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
The following table shows estimated future net cash flows from future production
of net developed and undeveloped proved reserves of crude oil, natural gas
liquids and natural gas (including amounts applicable to a long-term purchase
and operating service arrangement); therefore, reserves exclude the royalty
interests of others. As prescribed by SFAS 69, such future net cash flows were
estimated using year-end prices, costs, and tax rates, and a 10% annual discount
factor. Future production costs are based upon current year costs used uniformly
throughout the life of the reserves. Future development costs include
restoration and abandonment costs, net of residual salvage value. Estimated
future income taxes were computed by applying the statutory income tax rates,
including state and local taxes, to the future pre-tax net cash flows less
appropriate tax deductions, giving effect to tax credits. Effective tax rates
were used for certain foreign areas.
Texaco is presenting this information in accordance with the requirements
of SFAS 69 and has exercised all due care in developing the data. It is
necessary to caution investors and other users of the information to avoid its
simplistic use. While the intent of this disclosure is to provide a common
benchmark to help financial statement users project future cash flows and
compare companies, users should note the following: data in this table excludes
the effect of future changes in prices, costs, and tax rates which past
experience indicates will occur. Such future changes could significantly impact
the disclosed discounted net cash flows. The data also excludes the estimated
net cash flows from reserves that are yet to be proved. Extensive judgment is
used to estimate the timing of production and future costs over the remaining
life of the reserves utilized in developing this disclosure. Values can be
distorted by the use of year-end prices that may reflect seasonal factors or
unpredictable distortions from wars and other significant world events. For all
the preceding reasons, this disclosure is not necessarily indicative of Texaco's
perception of the future cash flows to be derived from underground reserves.
