• They are our primary customer
• Our primary function is to support the refining sector of our business
• Find technologies outside of Chevron and work with third parties to bring applicable technology into the system
ETD’s Relationship to Global Manufacturing

Probability of technical success?• Identify technical unknowns• Plan experimental program
to address largest uncertainty first
• Satisfactory IP position
Sufficient economicincentive?• Address a problem that is
worth solving
• Identify potential first user site(s)
Do we have a good partner?• Aligned Commercial
Interests• Adequate competency for
needed tasks• Experienced management
team
Successful Partnerships are built on high qualityTechnology, Business & Management elements

External Technology Development’s (ETD’s) mission is to rapidly identify, assess, develop and demonstrate technology from external sources
ETD Will…• Identify promising technologies at external companies (small, medium and large), and to a
lesser extent, government labs and universities• Assess the fit of the technology to the Downstream’s business challenges• Conduct due diligence on external parties’ technology (including IP) and management team• Help the external parties define their technology development efforts to meet our problem
specifications, when and if needed• Fund and provide oversight of pilot testing and prototype development by external parties• Facilitate the demonstration of technology in a Global Downstream Manufacturing facility• Negotiate and execute agreements with external parties including NDA’s, MTA’s, research
service agreements, license agreements, etc.• Focus efforts on technology that can be successfully demonstrated in 0-5 years.
