It is the application of innovative technology and our approach to technology that give Chevron its competitive edge. Today, we are creating and analyzing sophisticated 3-D reservoir images, such as the one shown here, to help recover crude oil and natural gas from remote and increasingly complex fields. We are using proprietary technology to turn even the lowest-value crude oils into high-value consumer products. And we are working to develop next-generation energy resources. Our technology organization is based on alliances with leading institutions that complement our strengths, technology transfers and targeted venture capital investments. The organization is fully integrated across our main businesses, enabling us to share expertise and create efficiencies.
