<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees II (the &#147;Plan&#148;) is
an unfunded deferred compensation plan and is the successor plan to the Chevron Corporation
Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees (formerly the Salary Deferral Plan for
Management Employees) (the &#147;Prior Plan&#148;). Deferrals made subject to the Plan after December&nbsp;31,
2004 are governed by the Plan. Any deferrals that were made prior to January&nbsp;1, 2005 are governed
by the Prior Plan. The securities to be offered under the Plan constitute general obligations of
the Registrant and will be offered to eligible Plan participants (&#147;Eligible Employees&#148;) as
described below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Eligible Employees are eligible for designation as participants by the Management Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant (the &#147;Committee&#148;) or any successor thereto.
Eligible Employees include executive and other key employees, including officers (whether or not
directors) of the Registrant or a subsidiary who hold positions of significant responsibility or
whose performance or potential contribution, in the judgment of the Committee, would benefit the
future success of the Registrant and whom the Registrant designates to participate in the Plan.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Plan provides for deferral of base salary, awards granted under the Management Incentive
Plan (MIP), and performance shares granted and vested under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
The minimum amount of base salary that an Eligible Employee may elect to defer in any calendar year
(a &#147;Plan Year&#148;) is 2% of base salary in excess of the applicable limit under section 401(a)(17) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the &#147;Code&#148;) and the maximum amount that an Eligible Employee may
defer in any Plan Year is 40% of base salary. An Eligible Employee whose base salary is in excess
of the limit provided in Code section 142(m) is required to defer all salary in excess of the Code
section 162(m) limit (&#147;Deferral Election&#148;). An Eligible Employee whose base salary is at or less
than 102% of the applicable limit under Code section 401(a)(17) on the last day of the calendar
year preceding the Plan Year may defer a maximum of 2% of base salary in excess of the limit and
his or her base salary deferral for the Plan Year may begin only with the first payroll period in
which his or her base salary for the Plan Year exceeds the applicable limit under Code section
401(a)(17). MIP awards and vested LTIP performance shares may be deferred in whole percents, up to
a maximum of 90&nbsp;percent.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant will maintain a deferral account (a &#147;Deferral Account&#148;) for each Eligible
Employee. All of the Eligible Employee&#146;s deferrals will be credited to his or her Deferral
Account. The Deferral Accounts are bookkeeping entries only; no assets of the Registrant have been
set aside to fund the Registrant&#146;s obligations under the Plan. The Deferral Accounts do not give a
participant any interest in or claim to any specific asset of the Registrant, nor are they deemed
to create a trust for the benefit of the participant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The value of the deferred portion will be determined by crediting the Deferral Account with
such earnings, gains and losses as would have accrued to the Eligible Employee&#146;s Deferral Account
had such funds actually been invested in one or more of the Investment Funds maintained in the
Registrant&#146;s Employee Savings Investment Plan. Such investment election must be made in whole
percentages totaling 100% of the deferred amount.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Deferral Accounts are distributed in a lump sum in the first quarter that is at least 12
months following separation from service. Deferral Accounts designated to be tracked with
reference to the Chevron Stock Fund will be distributed in stock, and all other accounts will be
distributed in cash. A participant may make a request for an alternative distribution in a lump
sum or up to ten annual installments. In the event of a participant&#146;s death, Plan benefits will be
distributed in the form and at the time designated by the participant&#146;s prior valid Distribution
Election selected from the payment options offered by the Plan. In the case of undue hardship for a
participant, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct payment to a participant of all or
any portion of any amounts deferred.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amounts paid under the Plan will be paid either from the general funds of the Registrant or in
shares of Common Stock of the Registrant, and each participant and his beneficiaries have the
status of unsecured general creditors of the Registrant with no special or prior right to any
assets of the Registrant for payment of any obligations under the Plan. Except as otherwise
provided by law, Plan benefits are not assignable, may not be used as security for loans or
otherwise alienated and are exempt from the claims of participants&#146; creditors and other claimants.
The Plan contains no limitation on the Registrant&#146;s right to issue senior debt or other securities.
No events of default exist under the Plan nor is any absence of default evidence required.

(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the

liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the

Item 4.
Description of Securities
The Common Stock of Chevron Corporation is registered under Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and accordingly, no description is provided hereunder.
*
Information required by Part I to be contained in the
Section 10(a) prospectus is omitted from this Registration Statement in
accordance with Rule 428 under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Note to Part
I of Form S-8.
The Chevron Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees II (the "Plan") is
an unfunded deferred compensation plan and is the successor plan to the Chevron Corporation
Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees (formerly the Salary Deferral Plan for
Management Employees) (the "Prior Plan"). Deferrals made subject to the Plan after December 31,
2004 are governed by the Plan. Any deferrals that were made prior to January 1, 2005 are governed
by the Prior Plan. The securities to be offered under the Plan constitute general obligations of
the Registrant and will be offered to eligible Plan participants ("Eligible Employees") as
described below.
Eligible Employees are eligible for designation as participants by the Management Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant (the "Committee") or any successor thereto.
Eligible Employees include executive and other key employees, including officers (whether or not
directors) of the Registrant or a subsidiary who hold positions of significant responsibility or
whose performance or potential contribution, in the judgment of the Committee, would benefit the
future success of the Registrant and whom the Registrant designates to participate in the Plan.
The Plan provides for deferral of base salary, awards granted under the Management Incentive
Plan (MIP), and performance shares granted and vested under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
The minimum amount of base salary that an Eligible Employee may elect to defer in any calendar year
(a "Plan Year") is 2% of base salary in excess of the applicable limit under section 401(a)(17) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and the maximum amount that an Eligible Employee may
defer in any Plan Year is 40% of base salary. An Eligible Employee whose base salary is in excess
of the limit provided in Code section 142(m) is required to defer all salary in excess of the Code
section 162(m) limit ("Deferral Election"). An Eligible Employee whose base salary is at or less
than 102% of the applicable limit under Code section 401(a)(17) on the last day of the calendar
year preceding the Plan Year may defer a maximum of 2% of base salary in excess of the limit and
his or her base salary deferral for the Plan Year may begin only with the first payroll period in
which his or her base salary for the Plan Year exceeds the applicable limit under Code section
401(a)(17). MIP awards and vested LTIP performance shares may be deferred in whole percents, up to
a maximum of 90 percent.
The Registrant will maintain a deferral account (a "Deferral Account") for each Eligible
Employee. All of the Eligible Employee's deferrals will be credited to his or her Deferral
Account. The Deferral Accounts are bookkeeping entries only; no assets of the Registrant have been
set aside to fund the Registrant's obligations under the Plan. The Deferral Accounts do not give a
participant any interest in or claim to any specific asset of the Registrant, nor are they deemed
to create a trust for the benefit of the participant.
The value of the deferred portion will be determined by crediting the Deferral Account with
such earnings, gains and losses as would have accrued to the Eligible Employee's Deferral Account
had such funds actually been invested in one or more of the Investment Funds maintained in the
Registrant's Employee Savings Investment Plan. Such investment election must be made in whole
percentages totaling 100% of the deferred amount.
Deferral Accounts are distributed in a lump sum in the first quarter that is at least 12
months following separation from service. Deferral Accounts designated to be tracked with
reference to the Chevron Stock Fund will be distributed in stock, and all other accounts will be
distributed in cash. A participant may make a request for an alternative distribution in a lump
sum or up to ten annual installments. In the event of a participant's death, Plan benefits will be
distributed in the form and at the time designated by the participant's prior valid Distribution
Election selected from the payment options offered by the Plan. In the case of undue hardship for a
participant, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may direct payment to a participant of all or
any portion of any amounts deferred.
Amounts paid under the Plan will be paid either from the general funds of the Registrant or in
shares of Common Stock of the Registrant, and each participant and his beneficiaries have the
status of unsecured general creditors of the Registrant with no special or prior right to any
assets of the Registrant for payment of any obligations under the Plan. Except as otherwise
provided by law, Plan benefits are not assignable, may not be used as security for loans or
otherwise alienated and are exempt from the claims of participants' creditors and other claimants.
The Plan contains no limitation on the Registrant's right to issue senior debt or other securities.
No events of default exist under the Plan nor is any absence of default evidence required.
The Board may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Plan, subject to
applicable law, regulations and rules. No amounts will be deferred under the Plan after its
termination, but the termination of the Plan will not affect any previously deferred amounts. The
Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Article VIII of Chevron's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides as follows:
"1. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the corporation or its stockholders
for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders; (b) for acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
(c) pursuant to section 174 of the Corporation Law; or (d) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
"2. To the fullest extent authorized by the Corporation Law, the Corporation shall indemnify
any Corporate Servant who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding
by reason of the fact that such person was or is a Corporate Servant.
"3. In serving or continuing to serve the Corporation, a Corporate Servant is entitled to
rely and shall be presumed to have relied on the rights granted pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Article VIII, which shall be enforceable as contract rights and inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of the Corporate Servant; and no repeal or
modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII shall adversely affect any right
existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
"4. The Board of Directors is authorized, to the extent permitted by the Corporation Law, to
cause the Corporation to pay expenses incurred by Corporate Servants in defending Proceedings and
to purchase and maintain insurance on their behalf whether or not the corporation would have the
power to indemnify them under the provisions of this Article VIII or otherwise.
"5. Any right or privilege conferred by or pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII
shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which any Corporate Servant may otherwise be
entitled.
"6. As used in this Article VIII:
(a) 'Corporate Servant' means any natural person who is or was a director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, manager, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other organization or enterprise, nonprofit or otherwise, including an employee
benefit plan;
(b) 'Corporation Law' means the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as from
time to time amended;
(c) 'indemnify' means to hold harmless against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines (including excise taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the Corporate Servant in connection
with a Proceeding;
(d) 'Proceeding' means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal or administrative; and
(e) 'request of the Corporation' includes any written authorization by an officer of the
Corporation."
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in which Chevron is
incorporated, permits, subject to certain conditions, the indemnification of directors or officers
of a Delaware corporation for expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding in
relation to certain matters against them as such directors or officers.
The directors and officers of Chevron are covered by policies of insurance under which they
are insured, within limits subject to limitations, against certain expenses in connection with the
defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a
result of such actions, suits or proceedings, in which they are parties by reason of being or
having been directors or officers; Chevron is similarly insured with respect to certain payments it
might be required to make to its directors or officers under the applicable statutes and Chevron's
by-law provisions.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
See Index to Exhibits.
Item 9.
Undertakings
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made of the securities
registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and
any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it

has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the city of San Ramon, and the State of
