The document provides an overview of Chevron's Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) for achieving world-class performance in process safety, personal safety, health, environment, reliability and efficiency. The OEMS has three parts: leadership accountability, management system process, and OE expectations. It utilizes a standard approach across Chevron to systematically identify and close performance gaps through assessing risks, developing action plans, implementation, and review. The system requires active leadership and workforce engagement to develop an operational excellence culture.

- 1. Operational Excellence Management System An Overview of the OEMS
- 2. Our Chevron Way values place the highest priority on the health and safety of our workforce and protection of our assets and the environment. The Operational Ex- cellence Management System (OEMS) translates this priority into world-class per- formance, providing Chevron with a competitive advantage and driving business results. The OEMS is a comprehensive, proven means for systematic management of process safety, personal safety & health, the environment, reliability and efficiency. Through disciplined application of the OEMS, we integrate OE processes, stan- dards, procedures and behaviors into our daily operations. The OEMS helps us identify and manage the risks we encounter in our global business operations. The system is effective because it requires leader-driven as- sessment of strengths and gaps, completion of risk-reducing actions, regular re- view of progress and continual improvement. While leaders are responsible for managing the OEMS and enabling OE perfor- mance, every individual in Chevron’s workforce is accountable for complying with the principles of “Do it safely or not at all” and “There is always time to do it right.” Success depends on operational discipline from each of us in applying the Tenets of Operation to our daily decisions. We must recognize hazards, follow required practices and procedures and appropriately manage workplace changes. If neces- sary, every member of our workforce is authorized to exercise Stop-Work Authority. I encourage you to study this manual. Keep it nearby. Refer to it often. It will guide us to perform every task, the right way, every time. I am committed to meeting our OE Objectives. I ask you to join me. Together, we’ll work safely, protect the environment, and operate reliably and efficiently as we provide energy the world requires for economic growth and human progress.

- 3. As a business and as a member of the world community, Chevron is committed to creating a superior value for our investors, customers, partners, host governments, local communities and our workforce. To succeed, we must deliver world-class performance exceeding the capabilities of our strongest competitors. Operational excellence (OE) is a critical driver for business success and a key part of our enterprise execution strategy. Operational excellence is defined as “the sys- tematic management of process safety, personal safety and health, environment, reliability and efficiency to achieve world-class performance.” To achieve and sustain world-class performance, we must develop strong capabili- ty in operational excellence throughout Chevron. This requires active leadership and the entire workforce to be engaged. We must develop a culture where every- one believes that all incidents are preventable and that “zero incidents” is achieva- ble. With engaged and committed leadership, effective processes and an OE cul- ture, we can achieve our objectives in operational excellence. This document provides an overview of the Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS), our standard approach for achieving world-class performance. It includes general guidance for the implementation and operation of the OEMS. Vision and Values Our vision for operational excellence directly supports our corporate vision “to be the global energy company most admired for its people, partnership and performance.” With respect to opera- tional excellence, our vision is to be recognized and admired by industry and the communities in which we op- erate as world-class in process safety, personal safety & health, environment, reliability and efficiency. Objectives We will systematically manage OE in order to: • Achieve an incident- and injury-free workplace. • Promote a healthy workforce and mitigate significant workplace health risks. • Identify and mitigate environmental and process safety risks. • Operate with industry-leading asset integrity and reliability. • Efficiently use natural resources and assets. Operational Excellence Operational excellence is the systematic management of process safety, personal safety and health, environment, reliability and efficiency to achieve world-class performance.
- 4. Operational Excellence Management System (OEMS) The Operational Excellence Management System consists of three parts: Leadership Accountability Management System Process OE Expectations With operations spread across the globe, we can improve performance more quickly and sustain our results efficiently if all our businesses follow a standard approach to OE. Our Standard Approach The OEMS is Chevron’s standard approach for achieving world-class performance. Using a standard approach to sys- tematically identify and close performance gaps, we can con- tinually improve our OE results. Operational excellence is not some- thing separate from our business; it is how we run our business to achieve our vision of success. Using the OEMS, we effectively integrate OE objectives, plans, processes, standards and behaviors into our daily operations and protect people and the environment today and in the future.
- 5. Leadership Accountability Leadership is the single largest factor for success in OE. Leaders establish the vision and set objectives that chal- lenge the organization to achieve world-class results. They direct the Management System Process, setting priorities and monitoring progress on plans that focus on the highest-impact items. Leaders visibly demonstrate their commitment through personal en- gagement with the workforce and by showing concern for the health and safety of every individual. They dem- onstrate the same commitment to pro- tecting the environment and process safety risk mitigation. Management System Process The Management System Process (MSP) is a systematic approach used to drive progress toward world-class performance. It is linked to the business planning process and begins with de- fining a vision of success and setting objectives. Gaps between current per- formance and these objectives are un- covered during the assessment phase. Plans are developed to close the gaps, the plan is implemented and a review of plan implementation and perfor- mance is completed. OE Expectations Corporate Expectations for Operational Excellence are detailed under 13 ele- ments. The OE Expectations are met through processes and standards put in place by local management. Many of these expectations are supported by corporate and operating company OE processes and standards.
- 6. Leadership Accountability Running the OEMS Executives and managers are accountable for running the OEMS. Leaders should determine which requirements and behaviors apply to their specific organizational roles and take action to integrate them in- to routine duties. Lead, Align and Cascade OE Executives and managers focus on establishing a vision and widely communicating world-class objectives, metrics and targets for their units. These are aligned with corporate OE objectives and cascaded to all levels. They work to help en- sure that the OEMS processes and standards are put in place and functioning to satisfy all OE Expectations, and that resources, roles, responsibilities and accountabilities are fully aligned throughout the organization. • Establish vision and objectives • Discuss objectives, metrics and targets • Review and support MSP outcomes • Verify that a compliance process, tools and accountabili- ties are in place • Reinforce OE performance Lead the Management System Process Executives and managers focus on personally directing the MSP for continual OE improvement and integrating opera- tional excellence into business plans. They prioritize OE plans to focus on the highest-impact items in alignment with the vision and objectives. They provide resources and moni- tor progress on OE plans until a successful conclusion is reached. • Understand potential risks • Identify requirements • Assess and audit for effectiveness • Prioritize gaps • Provide resources • Direct implementation • Review progress against plans • Verify compliance The single largest factor for success in operational excellence is leadership. Leaders are focused not only on getting results but getting results the right way and be- having in accordance with our values. They are account- able for running the OEMS and enabling and delivering OE performance. By their actions, leaders cascade, manage and drive execution; reinforce the OE culture; instill operational discipline and work to ensure that they and the entire workforce comply with OE requirements. Through personal example, they demonstrate that zero — whether related to safety, health, environmental, relia- bility or efficiency incidents — is attainable. Executives and Managers Run the Management System Lead, Align and Cascade OE Lead the MSP All Leaders Enable OE Performance Reinforce Culture Instill Operational Discipline All Members of the Workforce Deliver OE Performance Comply with Requirements
- 7. Enabling and Delivering OE Performance All leaders, no matter what their organizational role, are accountable for enabling OE performance. The entire workforce is accountable for delivering OE performance. Reinforce OE Culture All leaders demonstrate that operational excellence is a personal core value and show concern and caring for the health and safety of every individual. They are equally com- mitted to process safety risk mitigation, environmental protec- tion and achieving world-class reliability and efficiency. Leaders understand and role model the Tenets of Operation and behaviors necessary to build and sustain an OE culture. They continuously improve our OE culture by understanding the gaps and removing barriers to world-class OE perfor- mance. • Role model behaviors and tenets • Show concern for individuals and the environment • Work to ensure open and effective communication • Foster mutual trust • Demonstrate process safety behaviors • Understand and communicate hazards • Work to ensure direct reports are trained and qualified • Show support for OE processes • Drive continual improvement of practices and procedures Achieving Operational Discipline Operational discipline means completing every task, the right way, every time. It is achieved through leaders who instill op- erational discipline and a workforce that complies with OE requirements. Leaders set expectations and monitor and shape behaviors. The entire workforce, including lead- ers, recognizes hazards and follows procedures, manage- ment of change and stop work authority appropriately. Instill Operational Discipline All leaders demonstrate operational discipline by shaping their own behaviors and directing, monitoring and shaping the behaviors of the workforce they support. • Align OE values, systems, processes and behaviors. Leaders work to ensure the workforce has: o Information regarding what is required o Knowledge and skills o Necessary resources o Unwavering commitment to operational discipline • Define and communicate expectations • Monitor and verify adherence • Coach to improve adherence • Provide appropriate consequences o Specific and timely feedback linked to expectations o Significant focus on finding people doing things right o Negative consequences to stop or replace behaviors Comply with OE Requirements The workforce, including leaders, demonstrates compliance with OE requirements by always following required practices or procedures or employing appropriate means for deviating or stopping work as necessary. • Follow required practices and procedures • Use management of change processes for deviations • Recognize potential hazards and unusual circumstances • Maintain a healthy sense of vulnerability • Observe co-worker behaviors and provide feedback • Stop work when necessary • Use the Tenets of Operation to guide daily decisions • Modify personal behavior to prevent losses or incidents • Report and investigate near misses, losses and incidents • Ask questions, share and apply learning • Improve and maintain competency
- 8. Management System Process The Management System Process contains five steps: Vision and Objectives An OE vision is established, or validated, and specific objec- tives and measures for success are identified and cascaded to the workforce. Organizations should: • Develop an OE vision, world-class objectives, metrics and targets. These are based on the corporate objec- tives, benchmarking data and other critical business drivers. • Set objectives for OEMS implementation and the devel- opment of processes to meet OEMS requirements. • Cascade OE vision, objectives, metrics and targets to all levels of the organization. • Consider appropriate adjustments to vision and objec- tives identified during the Review step. • Adopt and cascade the Tenets of Operation to the work- force. Assessment A comprehensive OEMS Self Assessment is completed an- nually to identify gaps in OE processes, standards and per- formance against established objectives. The leadership team is engaged in assessments and partici- pates in prioritization of assessed gaps. The highest-priority OE processes and standards are as- sessed annually, and a full assessment of all processes and standards is required at least every three years. Organizations should: • Assess risks and gaps against objectives in: o Leadership Accountability o Management System Process o OE Expectations and Processes o Facility risks and capability to achieve world-class performance o Workforce OE culture • Prioritize assessed gaps based on risk and opportunity. • Identify future risks that could prevent world-class performance. The Management System Process (MSP) is a syste- matic approach used to drive progress toward world- class performance. The MSP is linked to the business planning process. Driven by leadership, the MSP is used to integrate OE objectives, plans and activities into daily operations. The MSP helps the enterprise, operating companies and units establish OE priorities and plans, and it guides the development of measures to monitor progress toward world-class results. Management System Process Vision & Objectives Assessment Leadership Accountability Review Planning Implementation
- 9. Planning A three-year plan is developed to manage the prioritized gaps. Plans are incorporated directly into business plans, and accountabilities are assigned. Organizations should: • Develop OE metrics, targets and action plans with completion dates and milestones, and incorporate these into business plans. • Identify and allocate resources to successfully complete the OE action plans. • Communicate metrics, targets and action plans. • Assign accountabilities, and develop necessary performance agree- ments. Implementation Planned actions are implemented along with other business plan activities. OE networks are engaged to share lessons learned and to seek out best practices and processes that can be adopted to achieve plan objectives. Organizations should: • Execute plans along with other business plan activities. • Maintain contacts with OE networks to share lessons learned and to seek out best practices and processes that can be adopted to achieve plan objectives. • Monitor plan progress and OE performance at least monthly, and ad- just plans as necessary. • Identify and manage new, unplanned actions not included in current business plans. Review An annual review of all OEMS activity is conducted to evaluate progress on performance and to identify necessary adjustments to plans to achieve world-class results. Organizations should: • Review progress against OE plans to determine whether they are ef- fective and that performance is on track to achieve world-class levels. • Evaluate the organization’s Management System Process activity for improvement. • Identify possible plan adjustments based on emerging issues and changing business conditions. • Consider results of external reviews. External reviews include peer as- sists as well as corporate audits conducted every three to five years. Achieving World-Class Performance Success in operational excellence requires discipline in both the planning and execu- tion of work necessary to manage safety, health, environment, reliability and efficien- cy with world-class results. The MSP is a systematic approach used to drive progress toward world-class per- formance and integrate operational excel- lence into business plans. The MSP also provides a systematic means to manage and administer the many processes and standards a unit has in place for opera- tional excellence. Driven by leadership, the MSP is used to establish or validate the OE vision and set objectives and tar- gets for world-class performance. Using risk-based assessment and prioritization processes, gaps to achieving world-class results are identified. Plans to close gaps are incorporated into the three-year busi- ness plan, implemented and monitored to a successful conclusion. OE processes and standards necessary to meet OEMS requirements are identified, developed, implemented and continually improved as fit for purpose. Annually, overall OE per- formance and progress are reviewed and necessary plan adjustments are made.
- 10. OE Expectations Element 1: Security of Personnel and Assets Provide a physical and cyber security environment in which business operations may be successfully conducted. 1.1 A process is in place to actively engage the workforce in security awareness and vigilance to the security environ- ment. 1.2 Risk-based security management plans are developed, implemented and maintained to address potential security threats to the business. 1.3 A process is in place to integrate security management plans with related plans for emergency management, busi- ness continuity and information protection. Element 2: Facilities Design and Construction Design and construct facilities to prevent injury, illness and incidents and to operate reliably and efficiently and in an environmentally sound manner. 2.1 The Chevron Project Development and Execution Process (CPDEP), applicable tools and sub-processes — such as Project Execution Planning, Project Assurance, Op- erations Assurance, Systems Completion and Turnover Process, Decision Analysis and technical codes and stan- dards — are used to reliably and consistently incorporate OEMS requirements in the design and construction of all new and modified facilities. 2.2 Consider reliability, operability, maintainability and total life-cycle cost trade-offs in making incremental capital in- vestment decisions. This trade-off analysis should use the criteria found in the Corporate Investment Analysis Manual. 2.3 A process is in place to comprehensively assess and evaluate safety, health, and environmental, asset integrity and reliability risks; potential business and community im- pacts; and to develop associated mitigation plans for new and modified facilities. Assessments conducted in early project phases shall be re-evaluated during final detailed design to determine whether mitigation plans have been implemented. 2.4 Conduct pre-startup reviews on all new, modified or previously idled facilities prior to startup and after shutdown to confirm they meet applicable regulatory and corporate re- quirements. Pre-startup reviews may include a Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR) and an Operational Readiness Re- view (ORR). OE Expectations are organized under 13 elements and spell out specific requirements for the management of safety, health, environment, reliability and efficiency. The OE Expectations are met through processes and stan- dards put in place by local management. Standards spe- cify requirements to satisfy OE Expectations. In addition to specifying requirements, processes also specify a sys- tematic approach regarding how to manage the require- ments. (See sidebar entitled, “The Process Approach,” on the following page.) Leaders are responsible for ensuring that processes and standards are established and working effectively to sa- tisfy all expectations. Several expectations are sup- ported by Chevron corporate required processes or standards and/or operating company required processes or standards.
- 11. Element 3: Safe Operations Operate and maintain facilities to prevent injuries, illness and incidents. 3.1 An HES risk management process is in place to periodically identify, assess and mitigate the safety and health risks related to facility operations and modifications. 3.2 A comprehensive safety program is in place for each location. Core elements of the program shall include: • Written safe work practices. Safe work practices may include: permit to work, hot work, confined space entry, equipment isolation (lockout/tagout), opening equipment, excavation, working at heights, electrical work, simul- taneous operations (SIMOPS), bypassing critical protections, lifting and rigging, and other applicable practices identified through risk assessment of local operations. • A written job or task safety analysis process (JSA) to identify, eliminate or mitigate potential hazards prior to conducting work. • Stop-work authority. • A repetitive stress injury (RSI) prevention process. • A comprehensive road safety management process to minimize risk and promote motor vehicle safety. • A hazardous materials communication (HAZCOM) process to manage and communicate hazards. • A behavior-based safety process to provide for observation and commen- tary on worker behaviors, tracking and analysis of observations, and a process for identifying and implementing actions for improvement. 3.3 An occupational health program is in place for each location. Core elements shall include: • Occupational hygiene and medical surveillance processes appropriate for the location that include procedures for identification and control of workplace exposures, including infectious disease, and ongoing monitoring and surveillance of affected personnel. • A process to determine whether members of the workforce are safely able to perform the essential physical, psychological and cognitive requirements of their job without risk to self, others or the environment and are not im- paired by drugs, alcohol, disabling medical conditions or fatigue. • A health education process to reinforce personal and facility hygiene to control workplace exposure and transmission of infectious diseases. 3.4 A process is in place to develop and maintain operating and maintenance procedures and process safety information. The process shall help ensure that documents, procedures, records and other information are accurate, reflective of current operating practices and accessible to appropriate members of the workforce. Procedures for document control, including confidentiality and re- tention, shall also be included. 3.5 A process is in place to enable the workforce to develop the skills and knowledge to perform their jobs competently, in a manner to prevent incidents, and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, company policies and requirements. The process shall include: • Identification of training needs for leaders, supervisors and other members of the workforce. • Initial, ongoing and regular refresher training. • Worker awareness of their roles and responsibilities in achieving conformity with the requirements of the OEMS and the potential consequences of departing from specific procedures. • Documentation and assessment of training effectiveness. The Process Approach Well-designed and effectively implemented processes and standards are necessary to de- liver world-class results in operational excel- lence. Where a systematic approach for manag- ing requirements is appropriate, each unit iden- tifies, develops, implements and continually im- proves OE processes as necessary to meet the requirements of the OEMS. For processes to be effective, they must be do- cumented and must incorporate in their design and operation the following five- component model: • Purpose, Scope and Objectives – defines the process boundaries and interfaces with other processes along with purpose and ex- pected results. • Procedures – describes the steps necessary to be performed and how they are to be accomplished. • Resources, Roles and Responsibilities – defines who is responsible for doing the work and for administering and maintaining the process. • Measurement and Verification – confirms that the objectives and results are being achieved and that the critical components of the process are adequately designed and are being executed. • Continual Improvement – uses measure- ment and verification results and other input to evaluate how to improve the process and helps ensure actions are taken to improve process design and effectiveness. The design and rigor of each process should be based on the risks associated with the unit’s unique operations. A complex operation with many possible hazards or an operation in a sensitive environment might have a more rigor- ous process in place than a less complex oper- ation in another location. Corporate OE Audits include an assessment of both the design and effectiveness of processes that a unit has in place to meet the OEMS re- quirements. Audit teams assess each organiza- tion’s processes independently and rate each process after evaluating local risks. Note: For the OE Expectations section of the OEMS Overview, the term “process” loosely refers to suitable mitigation at the appropriate level of the corporation. To satisfy one or more expectations, a process, standard or tool may exist at the enterprise, segment, operating company or unit level.

Navigating the OEMS Defining Areas of Focus: . Process Safety Appropriately designing, constructing, operating and maintaining facilities that process or handle potentially hazard- ous materials or energy; to prevent re- leases of flammable or toxic fluids or energy. Personal Safety & Health Eliminating personal safety and health hazards to prevent or mitigate injuries, illness and fatalities. Environmental Stewardship Continually improving environmental performance and reducing impacts from operations. Reliability Operating and maintaining wells and facilities to ensure asset integrity and prevent incidents. Efficiency Maximizing efficiency of operations and conserving natural resources. The areas of focus link to multiple objectives and are united by the OE governance structure, Management System Process and leader behaviors.

Dri- ven by leadership behaviors and a defined structure, methodology, set of procedures and activities, leaders shape OE policy and run the OEMS at the enterprise, segment, operating company and unit le- vels. Key OE governance roles include: Elected by stockholders, the ultimate decision- making body of the Corpo- ration except with respect to those matters reserved to the stockholders. Senior leaders responsible for carrying out company strategies and policies in managing Chevron’s busi- ness.

Role Description Key Activities
- 19. OEMS Implementation and Compliance Assurance OE Compliance Assurance Reporting units have developed implementation plans approved by their reporting officer and the Vice President of Corporate HES to manage the transition from existing OE compliance assurance processes to the OE Compliance Assurance Corpo- rate Required Process. The OE Compliance Assurance Corpo- rate Required Process applies to both legal and policy OE requirements. Process Requirements Key Process requirements are contained in a four-step workflow. Step 1. Identify applicable OE Requirements (such as HES legal requirements, OEMS Expectations, and corporate and op- co process requirements). The requirements must be docu- mented in registers that are independently validated at least every three years. Units may complete this step in the most efficient manner for their business. It is recommended that higher risk requirements are identified initially to enable more timely implementation of the remaining workflow steps. Step 2. Identify and implement controls to make sure that OE requirements are met. Controls may include automated systems or compliance tasks assigned through work order systems, checklists or other methods. Step 3. Assess and verify compliance with OE requirements. In addition to the Corporate OE Audit program, a second more comprehensive internal audit program must be in place to verify that controls are effective. Step 4. Address identified instances of potential noncom- pliance. Instances of potential noncompliance must be reported in a timely fashion and corrective actions tracked to closure. A program must be in place for anonymous reporting, which pro- tects individuals from retribution and provides for timely follow- up of allegations. OE Compliance Assurance Corporate OE Audits play an integral part in OEMS implementa- tion and OE compliance assurance. They provide an independent inspection of OE processes, standards and regulatory require- ments associated with prioritized HES focus areas to assist in preventing and detecting compliance violations. They help unit operations verify the effectiveness of their OE compliance pro- gram and also communicate this status to executive leadership. The audits also provide feedback to unit leadership on their efforts to sustain and build a culture that encourages organizational commitment to policy and regulatory compliance. OE Audit Team Staffing Corporate OE Audits are conducted through the coordination and oversight of the OE Audit group that reports independently to the Vice President of Corporate HES. Team members are selected and assigned to audits based on their subject matter expertise in OE processes and standards and their independence from the unit being audited. The OE Audit Process The Corporate OE Audit process is documented in a five- component model. The process contains four procedures: Long Term Audit Planning, Pre-Audit Planning, Audit Execution (on- site), and Post-Audit Follow-up. Action Plan Tracking and Validation OE Audits use the Audit Tracking System (ATS) to help ensure timely and effective closure of unit action plans in response to corporate OE Audit findings. Units submit action plans via ATS for approval by the opco president. Units complete the required progress updates in ATS each year by July 1 and January 1 until action plans are closed. The OE Audit group provides analysis of action plan progress and conducts independent validation and ve- rification of OE Audit action plan closure.

Tenets are a code of conduct used by the workforce as a tool to guide daily decisions. Leaders play an important role in setting expectations and reinforcing behaviors consistent with the tenets. The Tenets of Operation are based on two key principles: 1. Do it safely or not at all. 2. There is always time to do it right. Each organization will deploy the Tenets of Operation to provide a foundation for establishing a culture of operational ex- cellence at Chevron. Always: 1. Operate within design and environmental limits. 2. Operate in a safe and controlled condition. 3. Ensure safety devices are in place and functioning. 4. Follow safe work practices and procedures. 5. Meet or exceed customer’s requirements. 6. Maintain integrity of dedicated systems. 7. Comply with all applicable rules and regulations. 8. Address abnormal conditions. 9. Follow written procedures for high-risk or unusual situations. 10. Involve the right people in decisions that affect procedures and equipment.
