13. Disclosure; Forward-Looking Statements
This site contains forward-looking statements about future events and the
future financial performance of Chevron. These statements are based on
management's current expectations, estimates and projections; are not guarantees

forward-looking statements. For a detailed listing of the potential factors
affecting Chevron's business and these forward-looking statements, please
refer to Chevron's periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K that are filed

herein and shall not be modified except in writing.
