         Texaco Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Peter I. Bijur stated, "Our
1999  earnings  benefited  significantly  from the  dramatic  rise in crude  oil
prices,  but these increases  could not be fully  recovered in the  marketplace.
After starting the year at very low levels, crude oil prices jumped in March and
continued to climb  throughout the year.  Benchmark WTI crude oil ended the year
at nearly $26 per barrel and  continued  to climb in 2000.  Much of the earnings
benefit from higher crude oil prices was reduced by lower refining and marketing
margins around the world.  Excess refining  capacity has created chronic refined
product oversupply in all areas,  limiting the amount of crude costs that can be
recovered in the market.  The oversupply  situation was  exacerbated by economic
weakness in the Caltex areas and parts of Latin America  which  reduced  product
demand."
         Bijur added, "Operationally, we continued to reduce our exposure to the
refining business through Equilon's sale of its El Dorado, Kansas refinery.  Our
recently  announced  Agbami  exploration  discovery  in the  deepwater  offshore
Nigeria  reflects  the  success of our  upstream  strategy  shift from  multiple
incremental  projects to select high margin,  high impact projects.  We achieved
over $700  million in expense  reductions  and synergy  capture,  exceeding  our
year-end 2000 target of $650 million a

full year ahead of schedule.  Fourth quarter exploration expenses were higher as
we wrote off  investments  in  Thailand,  and in the Gulf of Mexico where fourth
quarter appraisal drilling determined certain prospects to be non-commercial."

standard,  SOP 98-5,  resulting in a change in accounting  for start-up costs at
its Thailand  refinery.  Texaco's  first  quarter  1998  results  included a $25
million charge associated with this accounting change.

         U.S. Exploration and Production earnings for this year's fourth quarter
and year were above last year's  levels due to higher  crude oil and natural gas
prices.  Crude oil prices  continued to rise in the

fourth quarter and more than doubled in 1999, in response to production cutbacks
by OPEC and  several  non-OPEC  countries  which led to a decline  in  worldwide
inventory  levels.  Average realized crude oil prices for the fourth quarter and
year 1999 were $20.50 and $14.70 per barrel,  110 percent and 39 percent  higher
than last year. For the fourth quarter and year 1999, average natural gas prices
were $2.43 and $2.18 per MCF, 27 percent and nine percent above last year.
         Production  decreased  seven  percent  for the fourth  quarter  and ten
percent for the year.  This  decrease was due to natural field  declines,  asset
sales and reduced investment consistent with our focus on capital efficiency.
         Operating expenses were ten percent lower this year as a result of cost
savings  from  the  restructuring  of  our  worldwide   upstream   organization.
Exploratory  expenses for the fourth quarter were $130 million before taxes, $68
million higher than last year. This year's quarter  included a $100 million ($65
million after tax) write-off of  investments in the Fuji and McKinley  prospects
in the Gulf of Mexico.  These prospects were initially  drilled between 1995 and
1998  and  appraisal  drilling  in the  fourth  quarter  determined  them  to be
non-commercial.  Exploratory expenses for the year 1999 were $234 million before
taxes, $23 million below last year.
         Results for 1999 included net special charges of $14 million  comprised
of an $11 million charge for employee separation costs, a $30 million charge for
the settlement of crude oil royalty  valuation  issues on federal lands,  an $18
million  gain on asset  sales in  California  and a $9  million  production  tax
refund.  Special charges of $35 million in the fourth quarter included the above
referenced crude oil royalty settlement.
         Special charges for 1998 included  fourth quarter asset  write-downs of
$51 million and employee separation costs of $29 million.

gas prices were $1.30 and $1.34 per MCF,  27 percent  and 18 percent  below last
year.
         Daily production in the fourth quarter and year was slightly below last
year's  levels  due to the  decline in volumes  in  Indonesia  as higher  prices
reduced our lifting  entitlements for cost recovery.  Fourth quarter  production
increases  in the  Partitioned  Neutral  Zone  and  further  development  of our
Karachaganak  field in the  Republic  of  Kazakhstan  almost  offset  the  lower
Indonesian  entitlements.  Production  increases for the year in the Partitioned
Neutral Zone and  Karachaganak  nearly offset  decreased  production in the U.K.
North Sea and Indonesia, and lower gas production in Latin America.
         Operating expenses were three percent lower for the year as a result of
cost savings from the  restructuring  of our  worldwide  upstream  organization.
Exploratory  expenses for the fourth quarter were $89 million before taxes,  $14
million higher than last year.  This year's fourth quarter  included $30 million
($20  million  after  tax) of prior  year  drilling  expenditures  in  Thailand.
Exploratory  expenses for the year were $267 million  before taxes,  $63 million
higher than last year.
         Results for 1999 included special charges of $26 million, including $24
million in the fourth  quarter for prior  years' tax issues in the U.K.  Special
charges in 1998 included $42 million for U.K. asset  impairments and $10 million
for employee separation costs.

         U.S.  Refining,  Marketing and  Distribution  fourth  quarter  earnings
before special items were lower than last year and slightly higher for the year.
U.S.  downstream  activities are primarily conducted through Equilon Enterprises
LLC,  Texaco's western alliance with Shell Oil Company,  and Motiva  Enterprises
LLC, Texaco's eastern alliance with Shell Oil Company and Saudi Refining, Inc.
         Equilon's  earnings for the year  benefited  from  improved  West Coast
refining  margins as a result of industry  refinery  outages earlier in the year
and improved  utilization at the Martinez refinery.  Operational problems at the
Puget  Sound  refinery  earlier  this year had a  negative  impact on  earnings.
Transportation  results  benefited from higher throughput during the quarter and
the  year.  Marketing

margins were weak for the quarter and the year as pump prices  lagged  increases
in gasoline spot prices. During the fourth quarter,  Equilon recorded additional
supply  costs which  related to  operations  during the first nine months of the
year. These costs negatively impacted our fourth quarter results by $16 million.
         Motiva's results for the fourth quarter and year were  affected by weak
refining and  marketing  margins on the East and Gulf Coasts due to rising crude
costs and high  industry-wide  refined product inventory  levels.  These effects
were partially mitigated by improved refinery reliability for the year.
         The fourth  quarter and year also  benefited  from the  realization  of
synergies  for  Equilon  and  Motiva.  These  included  re-engineering  of  work
processes,  leveraging  economies of scale to reduce supply costs,  sharing best
practices and  capitalizing on logistical and trading  opportunities,  including
higher utilization of proprietary pipelines and other assets.
         The year 1999 included  special charges of $79 million mainly for asset
write-downs  of $76 million for the El Dorado and Wood River  refineries  during
the second  quarter.  Equilon  completed  the sale of El Dorado to Frontier  Oil
Company  during the fourth quarter and is seeking a purchaser for the Wood River
refinery. Other special items in 1999 included an inventory valuation benefit of
$8 million and  reorganization,  restructuring and employee  separation costs of
$11 million associated with the alliance formation.
         Results for 1998  included  $55 million of net special  charges.  These
included a charge of $21 million related to the formation of our U.S.  alliances
and  inventory  valuation  charges of $34  million.  For the fourth  quarter net
special charges of $48 million consisted of inventory valuation  adjustments and
U.S. alliance  formation  charges.  Formation charges included asset write-downs
and  reorganization,  restructuring  and employee  separation  costs, as well as
gains on Federal Trade Commission mandated asset sales.

         International  Refining and Marketing results for the year declined due
to escalating crude costs that outpaced  product price increases.  This pressure
on refining margins impacted all major operating areas in Europe,  Latin America
and the Caltex  Asia-Pacific  region. The economic downturn and related

currency  devaluation in Brazil also adversely  impacted  marketing  margins and
volumes in Latin America.  However,  marketing revenues improved in West Africa,
Central  America and the  Caribbean as a result of  increased  high margin sales
volumes.  In  the  Caltex  region,   results  benefited  from  reduced  currency
volatility  linked  to  improved  economic  conditions,  gains  from the sale of
marketable securities and an inventory drawdown benefit. These benefits were not
sufficient to offset the combined forces of higher crude costs and an oversupply
of product in the Caltex region,  where refining and marketing margins were down
from the prior year.
         Operating  results for the fourth  quarter were down  slightly from the
prior year.  Results in Europe and Latin America decreased due to lower margins.
Comparative results in the Caltex region were higher due to significant currency
losses last year and an inventory drawdown benefit of $25 million this year.
         Results for 1999  included net special  benefits of $32 million.  These
included  inventory  valuation  benefits of $144 million and tax benefits of $54
million  for a Korean tax  revaluation.  The year also  included a charge of $80
million  relating  to Caltex'  sale of its  interest in Koa Oil  Company,  asset
write-downs of $23 million in Caltex and Europe,  restructuring,  reorganization
and employee  separation  costs of $41 million and prior year tax charges of $22
million.  Of these amounts,  $52 million of special charges were included in the
fourth quarter. These included $23 million in asset write-downs,  $22 million in
prior year tax charges and $7 million for Caltex restructuring charges.
         The year 1998 included  special  charges of $171 million  consisting of
inventory  valuation charges of $108 million and  restructuring,  reorganization
and employee  separation costs of $63 million.  The fourth quarter 1998 included
special charges of $128 million consisting of the inventory valuation charges of
$108 million and employee separation costs of $20 million.

single senior executive, creating the Global Gas and Power segment. Prior period
information has been restated to reflect this change.
         Operating  results for the fourth  quarter and year  benefited from the
continued  improvement  of natural  gas  liquids  margins,  higher  gasification
licensing revenues and higher  cogeneration  income.  There were also gains from
the  sale of  several  assets,  including  our  interest  in a U.K.  retail  gas
marketing operation and a U.S. gas gathering pipeline.
         Results for 1999 included  special charges of $35 million for gas plant
impairments in the fourth quarter of $32 million and employee  separation  costs
of $3 million  recorded earlier in the year. Net special benefits of $17 million
were recorded in 1998,  including $20 million in the second quarter for the sale
of a partial interest in a pipeline and $3 million for employee separation costs
recorded in the fourth quarter.

         Non-operating   results  for  the  fourth  quarter  and  twelve  months
reflected  higher net  interest  expense due to higher debt levels and  interest
rates.  Expenses were low during the fourth quarter 1998 due to higher  interest
income and lower tax expense.
         Results for 1999  included net special  benefits of $85 million.  These
included $89 million of favorable  prior years' income tax  adjustments  and tax
benefits of $40 million  attributable to the sale of an interest in a subsidiary
recorded in the fourth  quarter.  Also recorded in the fourth quarter were asset
write-downs of $26 million and charges for environmental  issues of $12 million.
In addition to these items,  a $6 million charge for employee  separation  costs
was recorded  earlier in the year.  Net special  benefits in 1998 of $50 million
included  tax  benefits  of $24  million and  employee  separation  costs of $18
million in the  fourth  quarter.  Earlier in the year we  recorded a gain of $19
million  attributable  to the sale of an interest in a subsidiary  and other tax
benefits of $25 million.

CAPITAL AND EXPLORATORY EXPENDITURES
         Capital and  exploratory  expenditures were $3,893 million for the year
1999,  compared to $4,019 million in 1998.
         In the  United  States  upstream,  expenditures  decreased  39  percent
compared to 1998.  Internationally,  spending rose 54 percent during 1999 due to
the acquisition of a 45 percent  ownership  interest in the Malampaya Deep Water
Natural Gas project and increasing our ownership in the Venezuelan  Hamaca joint
venture.  Additionally,  international spending increased for lease acquisitions
in Brazil and Nigeria.  These changes reflect the effects of our switch in focus
to higher impact international projects.
         In the  downstream,  capital  expenditures  decreased  due to depressed
global industry  conditions.  Also, there were refinery  project  completions in
1998 and the slowing of  re-imaging  and  branding  initiatives  in the U.S. and
Caltex areas of operation.
         Global  Gas  and  Power   reflected  an  increase  in  investment   for
cogeneration  and  gasification  projects  principally in California and the Far
East,  while  spending  for  natural  gas  projects  decreased  due to  pipeline
completions last year.
