Nigeria Fact Sheet

Highlights of Operations
Chevron is the third-largest oil producer in Nigeria and one of its largest investors.
In Nigeria, we operate under a joint-venture arrangement with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and have assets on
land and in near-offshore regions of the Niger Delta.
Chevron also has extensive interests in multipartner deepwater operations. We operate the Agbami Field, one of Nigeria's
largest deepwater discoveries. We also have a nonoperated interest in the Usan Field.

Business Portfolio
Exploration and Production
Through Chevron's principal subsidiary in Nigeria, Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), the company operates and holds a 40 percent
interest in nine concessions under a joint-venture arrangement with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Chevron also does business through other subsidiaries in Nigeria.
In 2014, Chevron's net daily production in Nigeria averaged 240,000 barrels of crude oil, 236 million cubic feet of natural gas and
6,000 barrels of liquefied petroleum gas.
Deep Water
Chevron has interests, ranging from 20 percent to 100 percent, in three operated and six nonoperated deepwater blocks in
Nigeria.
Chevron operates the Agbami Field, which lies 70 miles (113 km) off the coast of the central Niger Delta region and spans
45,000 acres (182 sq km). Discovered in 1998, the Agbami Field is at a water depth of approximately 4,800 feet (1,463 m).
Chevron has a 67.3 percent interest in the field. In 2014, net daily production averaged 134,000 barrels of crude oil and 15
million cubic feet of natural gas.
Agbami is a subsea development with wells tied back to a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. A 10-well
Phase 2 development program is expected to offset field decline and to maintain production capacity. As of early 2015, eight of
the wells were producing. The next phase, Agbami 3, is a five-well drilling program that began drilling in early 2015 and is
expected to start production in 2016. Drilling is scheduled to continue through 2017.
Chevron has a 30 percent nonoperated working interest in the Usan Project, in 2,461 feet (750 m) of water, 62 miles (100 km) off
the coast of the eastern Niger Delta region. Net daily production in 2014 averaged 32,000 barrels of crude oil and 3 million cubic
feet of natural gas. Additional development drilling is planned through 2018.
The Aparo Field and the Bonga SW Field share a common geologic structure and are planned to be developed jointly. The
structure lies in 4,300 feet (1,311 m) of water, 70 miles (113 km) off the coast of the western Niger Delta region. The proposed
development plan involves subsea wells tied back to an FPSO vessel. A final investment decision is expected in 2015 or 2016.
Exploration
Chevron operates and has a 95 percent interest in the Nsiko discovery in OML 140, which lies in roughly 8,000 feet (2,438 m) of
water, 90 miles (145 km) off the coast of the western Niger Delta region. An exploration well at the Nsiko North prospect was
drilled in the fourth quarter of 2014, and more exploration drilling is planned for 2015.

In 2014, we drilled two exploration wells and discovered crude oil in the Usan area. In 2015, the company plans to evaluate
development options.
Natural Gas
Chevron is involved in natural gas projects in the western Niger Delta and Escravos areas, including the optimization of the
Escravos Gas Plant (EGP), the Escravos Gas-to-Liquids (EGTL) facility and the Sonam Field Development Project.
CNL operates and holds a 40 percent interest in the EGP development. The EGP Phase 3B project is focused on eliminating
routine flaring of natural gas associated with crude oil production. The project includes installation of 74 miles (119 km) of subsea
pipelines and modifications to the production platforms. The project is expected to be completed in 2016.
Chevron and the NNPC developed the EGTL facility, a 33,000-barrel-per-day gas-to-liquids project designed to process 325
million cubic feet per day of natural gas from the EGP expansion. Chevron is the operator and has a 75 percent interest in the
plant, which began production in mid-2014.
The Sonam Field Development is designed to use the EGP facilities to deliver 215 million cubic feet of natural gas per day to the
domestic gas market and produce a total of 30,000 barrels of liquids per day. First production at the 40 percent-owned and
operated project is expected in 2017.
With a 36.7 percent interest, Chevron is the largest shareholder in the West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited, which owns
and operates the 421-mile (678-km) West African Gas Pipeline. The pipeline supplies customers in Benin, Ghana and Togo with
Nigerian natural gas for power generation and industrial applications. It has the capacity to transport approximately 170 million
cubic feet of natural gas per day.

In the Community
Chevron takes seriously its role in Nigeria and is active in many projects that promote health, economic development and
education.

Responding to Needs in the Niger Delta

In 2005, Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) adopted the Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMoU) as a new approach to
community engagement in the Niger Delta to improve local participation in determining the needs our programs should address.
This model gives communities a greater role in managing their development through the Regional Development Councils.
Under the GMoU process, more than 258 projects in about 400 communities have benefited more than 600,000 people. Projects
worth more than $83 million have been completed.
In 2011, Chevron announced its partnership with the U.S. Agency for International Development in contributing $50 million to the
Niger Delta Partnership Initiative (NDPI) Foundation to support programs that promote economic development and improved
government and civil institutions and that help reduce conflict in the region. Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) was
incorporated in Nigeria to implement and support these programs. In 2014, Chevron committed an additional $40 million to the
NDPI over the next five years.
The PIND works in four program areas: supporting economic development, promoting peace through conflict resolution,
improving capabilities of government and communities, and developing better analysis of systemic limits to growth.

Fighting HIV/AIDS in Nigeria

Chevron helps fight the spread of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. In 2008, we directed $5 million of the $30 million we contributed to the
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) to Nigeria's National Agency for the Control of AIDS in
support of AIDS treatment programs. In 2015, Chevron is committing new funding to Nigeria through the Global Fund to support
prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

In 2012, Chevron partnered with Born Free Africa in an effort to help develop capacity within state ministries of health. The
partnership supports state governments' progress toward achieving concrete targets for the prevention of mother-to-child
transmission (PMTCT) of HIV in Nasarawa, Bayelsa and Rivers states. So far it has helped equip more than 670 health facilities
to provide PMTCT services.
Also in 2012, Chevron announced a partnership with the nongovernmental organization Pact in support of the PROMOT project,
an initiative designed to support PMTCT in Bayelsa state. The project works with community-based organizations and local
governments to provide education and testing services throughout Bayelsa state. Thanks to the work, more than 46,000
pregnant women have been tested for HIV and have received counseling.

Supporting Public Health

CNL's Riverboat Clinic provides a mobile health service to communities along the creeks and islets of the Escravos and Benin
rivers in the western Niger Delta. The boat has been providing free treatment to communities since it was launched in 2001. In
2014, more than 50,800 men, women and children benefited from its services.
The Roll Back Malaria initiative focuses on helping pregnant women and children aged 4 and younger. CNL launched the
program in 2006 and provides financial and volunteer support to control malaria in about 320 communities.
To help in the early diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis, chest and lung diseases, Chevron and its business partners in the
Agbami Field have donated 23 chest clinics to hospitals across Nigeria since 2008. The clinics are equipped with mobile X-ray
units, consulting rooms, laboratories and wards.
Chevron also provided the Lagos University Teaching Hospital with a molecular biology research laboratory. The laboratory
provides genetic diagnostic tools that aid in the diagnosis, management and treatment of people with genetic abnormalities. In
July 2014, the laboratory helped to detect the first case of the Ebola virus in Nigeria.

Helping Students and the Needy

Chevron grants scholarships to secondary school and college students. In 2009, Chevron and its Agbami partners initiated the
Medical and Engineering Professionals Scholarship. More than 12,400 college students have benefited from the program.
We support the Scholarship for the Blind, which aids visually challenged students living in the states where we operate.
Chevron and its deepwater partners have donated $11.6 million to secondary schools in Nigeria to build and equip 24 science
laboratories and 14 hybrid libraries. Hybrid libraries offer a mix of print and electronic resources.

Care for the Environment

Chevron provides funding for the Lekki Conservation Centre. The 190-acre (0.8-sq-km) sanctuary protects the flora and fauna of
the Lekki Peninsula and is the only one of its kind in the Lagos area. The facility is dedicated to promoting sound environmental
practices through research and education.

Record of Achievement
Chevron began doing business in Nigeria in 1913, when Texaco products were first marketed in the country.
Following the Nigerian Indigenization Decree of 1978, Chevron divested 40 percent of its shareholdings in Chevron Oil Nigeria
PLC to the Nigerian public while retaining 60 percent equity.
In 1996, we built our 103,000-barrel state-of-the-art storage terminal and loading facility in Apapa.
Our energy exploration and production work began more than 50 years ago.
