     Securities offered by Chevron Funding Corporation will be unconditionally guaranteed by Chevron.

     Chevron or Chevron Funding Corporation may issue securities in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium or with an original issue discount. The securities may be offered through underwriters or agents, or directly to investors or dealers. At the issuer’s option and as described in the relevant prospectus supplement, the securities may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in any other currency.

     This prospectus describes generally the terms of the securities. A supplement or supplements to this prospectus will describe the specific terms of each issuance of debt securities. If any offering involves underwriters, dealers or agents, arrangements with them will be described in the prospectus supplement that relates to that offering.

     Investing in the debt securities of Chevron or Chevron Funding Corporation involves risks. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” in any accompanying prospectus supplement and in any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

     Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

     This prospectus is part of a “shelf” registration statement that Chevron and Chevron Funding Corporation have filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which we refer to herein as the Commission. By using a shelf registration statement, Chevron or Chevron Funding Corporation may sell debt securities in one or more offerings. This prospectus only provides a general description of the securities that may be offered. Each time Chevron or Chevron Funding Corporation sells securities under the shelf registration, a supplement to this prospectus containing specific information about the terms of the securities will be provided. Any prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. Before purchasing any securities, you should read carefully both this prospectus and any supplement, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

This prospectus does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement. Some information has been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. For further information, please refer to the registration statement and the exhibits and schedules filed with it.

     The Commission allows Chevron to “incorporate by reference” into this prospectus the information in documents that Chevron files with it. This means that Chevron can disclose important information to you by referring you to other documents which it has filed separately with the Commission. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this prospectus, and the information that Chevron files with the Commission after the date hereof will automatically update and may supersede this information. Chevron incorporates by reference the documents listed below and any future filings which Chevron makes with the Commission under sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, until the termination of the offering of securities by this prospectus.

     Chevron Funding Corporation, formerly ChevronTexaco Funding Corporation, is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron, incorporated on June 11, 2002 and organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located at 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road, San Ramon, California 94583 (telephone: (925) 842-1000). Its business activities consist primarily of providing funds to its sole stockholder, Chevron Australia Holdings Pty Ltd., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron, for general corporate purposes.

     Except as any accompanying prospectus supplement may state, the net proceeds from the sale of securities are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including refinancing a portion of the existing commercial paper borrowings or long-term or short-term debt of Chevron or its subsidiaries, or financing capital programs.

     This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement contains, or incorporates by reference, forward-looking statements relating to Chevron’s operations that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the petroleum, chemicals and other energy-related industries. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “projects,” “believes,” “seeks,” “schedules,” “estimates,” “budgets” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the company’s control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Unless legally required, Chevron undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

     Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: changing crude-oil and natural-gas prices; changing refining, marketing and chemical margins; actions of competitors or regulators; timing of exploration expenses; timing of crude-oil liftings; the competitiveness of alternate-energy sources or product substitutes; technological developments; the results of operations and financial condition of equity affiliates; the inability or failure of Chevron’s joint-venture partners to fund their share of operations and development activities; the potential failure to achieve expected net production from existing and future crude-oil and natural-gas development projects; potential delays in the development, construction or start-up of planned projects; the potential disruption or interruption of Chevron’s net production or manufacturing facilities or delivery/transportation networks due to war, accidents, political events, civil unrest, severe weather or crude-oil production quotas that might be imposed by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries; the potential liability for remedial actions or assessments under existing or future environmental regulations and litigation; significant investment or product changes under existing or future environmental statutes, regulations and litigation; the potential liability resulting from other pending or future litigation; Chevron’s future acquisition or disposition of assets and gains and losses from asset dispositions or impairments; government-mandated sales, divestitures, recapitalizations, industry-specific taxes, changes in fiscal terms or restrictions on scope of Chevron’s operations; foreign currency movements compared with the U.S. dollar; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in any accompanying prospectus supplement and in any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. In addition, such statements could be affected by general domestic and international economic and political conditions. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed in this prospectus or in any accompanying prospectus supplement or any documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus could also have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

     The following is a general description of the securities that may be offered by this prospectus. This summary is not meant to be a complete description of the securities. The accompanying prospectus supplement will contain the material terms and conditions of the securities offered by such prospectus supplement.

     Each series of securities will be issued under one of the following indentures:

     Each indenture provides for the issuance of securities without limitation as to aggregate principal amount. See “Description of the Indentures,” below.

     For each series of securities, the following terms will be described in the prospectus supplement applicable to that series:

     The following description of the indentures is only a summary. A copy of each indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We encourage you to read each indenture in its entirety.

     Chevron may issue securities from time to time under an Indenture dated as of June 15, 1995, as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 3, 2009, each being between Chevron and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor to The Bank of New York, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank, as successor to Chemical Bank), as trustee, and which are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the Chevron indenture. Chevron Funding Corporation may issue securities from time to time under an Indenture dated as of August 15, 2003 among Chevron, as guarantor, Chevron Funding Corporation and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (as successor to The Bank of New York, as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank), as trustee, and which is referred to in this prospectus as the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture. The Chevron Funding Corporation indenture, together with the Chevron indenture, are referred to collectively in this prospectus as the indentures.

     The following terms apply to securities issued under any of the indentures. Terms of the indentures which apply only to securities issued by Chevron Funding Corporation appear below, under “The Chevron Funding Corporation Indenture.”

     Capitalized terms used in the following description are defined terms. The definitions of these terms are located under “—Definitions applicable to covenants.”

     In each indenture, Chevron agrees that, so long as securities are outstanding under the indenture, Chevron will not sell substantially all of its assets, dissolve, or consolidate or merge with any corporation unless the purchaser of the assets or the surviving company in any merger or consolidation:

     In each indenture, Chevron agrees that prior to consummating any consolidation or merger that would subject any Principal Property to any mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien or other encumbrance, it will secure all securities outstanding under the indenture equally and ratably with the debt or other obligation secured by the encumbrance resulting from the consolidation or merger. Chevron may also secure, together with the securities issued under the indenture, any of its other indebtedness or any indebtedness it guarantees that ranks equally with securities issued under the indenture. This covenant does not apply to debts or obligations that Chevron or any Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred without securing securities issued under the indenture pursuant to the covenant “Limitation on liens,” described in this prospectus.

     In each indenture, Chevron agrees that it will not, and it will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee any debt secured by a mortgage, pledge or lien on any Property, without effectively providing that the securities outstanding under that indenture shall be equally and ratably secured. Chevron may also secure, together with the securities issued under that indenture, any of its other indebtedness or any indebtedness it guarantees that ranks equally with securities issued under that indenture. This covenant does not apply to debt secured by:

     For purposes of this covenant, the following types of transactions are deemed not to create debt secured by a lien:

     Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this covenant, Chevron may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee debt without equally and ratably securing the securities issued under the indenture, provided that the aggregate amount of that debt and Attributable Debt with respect to sale and leaseback arrangements does not exceed ten percent of Chevron’s Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets.

     In each indenture, Chevron agrees that it will not, and it will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any sale and leaseback arrangement unless either:

     This covenant does not apply to temporary leases for a term of not more that three years or sale or transfer and leaseback transactions involving the acquisition or improvement of Principal Properties, provided within one year before or after the sale or transfer, Chevron has applied or applies an amount equal to the greater of (a) the net proceeds of the sale of the leased property or (b) the fair value of the leased property at the time of the transaction to:

     Terms used in this description of Chevron’s covenants under the indentures have the following meanings:

     “Attributable Debt” for a sale-leaseback transaction means the lesser of

     “Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets” means the consolidated total assets of Chevron and its subsidiaries as reflected in Chevron’s most recent consolidated balance sheet prepared in accordance with Chevron’s accounting policies and generally accepted accounting principles, less

     “Principal Property” means any oil or gas producing property located in the United States of America, onshore or offshore, or any refinery or manufacturing plant located in the United States of America, in each case now owned or hereafter acquired by Chevron or a Restricted Subsidiary, except any oil or gas producing property, refinery or plant that in the opinion of the Board of Directors of Chevron is not of material importance to the total business conducted by Chevron and its consolidated Subsidiaries.

     “Property” means Principal Properties or any shares of stock of or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary.

     “Restricted Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary of Chevron that has substantially all of its assets located in the United States of America and owns a Principal Property, and in which Chevron’s direct or indirect capital investment, together with the outstanding balance of

exceeds $100 million.

     “Subsidiary” of Chevron means any corporation at least a majority of the outstanding securities of which having ordinary voting power (other than securities having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) is owned by Chevron or by one or more Subsidiaries or by Chevron and one or more Subsidiaries.

     Any additional covenants with respect to any particular series of securities issued under an indenture will be described in the relevant prospectus supplement. The indentures do not contain any covenants specifically designed to protect securityholders against a reduction in the creditworthiness of Chevron in the event of a highly leveraged transaction. The indentures do not limit the amount of additional indebtedness that Chevron, or any of its subsidiaries, may incur.

     The indentures define an event of default with respect to any particular series of securities as any one of the following events:

     An event of default with respect to one series of securities will not necessarily constitute an event of default with respect to any other series of securities. If an event of default with respect to the securities of any one or more series occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25 percent in principal amount of the securities of each such series may declare the principal amount of all of the securities of that series, together with any accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. In the case of any original issue discount securities, the terms of those securities will specify what portion of the principal amount the holders may declare due and payable upon a continuing event of default. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of that series may, under some circumstances, rescind and annul the acceleration.

     If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee under the applicable indenture may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal or any premium or interest on the securities of the series to which the default relates or to enforce the performance of any provision of that series of securities or the indenture under which the securities were issued.

     The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding securities of any series may waive any past event of default with respect to that series and its consequences, except a continuing default:

     Without the consent of any holder of securities, Chevron and the trustee, in the case of the Chevron indenture, or Chevron, Chevron Funding Corporation and the trustee, in the case of the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture, may enter into a supplemental indenture to amend the indenture or the securities issued under that indenture for any of the following purposes:

     Chevron and the trustee and, if applicable, Chevron Funding Corporation, may modify or amend the indenture and the rights and obligations of Chevron and, if applicable, Chevron Funding Corporation, or the rights of the holders of the securities at any time with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all series of securities then outstanding and affected by the proposed modification or amendment, voting as one class. However, without the consent of the holder of each affected outstanding security, no amendment or modification may, among other things:

     Each indenture provides that Chevron and, if applicable, Chevron Funding Corporation, may terminate and be fully discharged from their obligations with respect to any series of securities issued under that indenture if Chevron or Chevron Funding Corporation, as applicable, deposits in trust with the applicable trustee money, direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America sufficient to pay principal, premium and interest, if any, on that series of securities to the date of its redemption or maturity. In the case of securities issued in a currency other than U.S. currency, Chevron or Chevron Funding Corporation, as applicable, may instead deposit direct obligations of or obligations guaranteed by the government that issued that currency. In order to terminate their obligations in this manner, Chevron or Chevron Funding Corporation, as applicable, must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of that series of securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result.

     Chevron may also terminate its obligations to comply with covenants applicable to any outstanding securities, including the covenants described in “—Covenants of Chevron,” if it or Chevron Funding Corporation, as applicable, deposits in trust with the trustee money, direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations guaranteed by the United States of America sufficient to pay principal, premium and interest, if any, on that series of securities to the date of its redemption or maturity.

     The indentures and each security issued under the indentures are to be deemed to be contracts made under, and are to be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the trustee of the Chevron indenture and the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture. In certain instances, Chevron or the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding principal amount of the securities may remove a trustee and appoint a successor trustee. A trustee may become the owner or pledgee of any of the securities issued under an indenture with the same rights it would have if it were not the trustee. Each trustee and any successor trustee must be a corporation:

From time to time, a trustee may also serve as trustee under other indentures relating to securities issued by Chevron or affiliated companies and may engage in commercial transactions with Chevron and affiliated companies.

In addition to the general terms above, the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture includes the following terms.

     Under the terms of the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture, Chevron fully and unconditionally guarantees to the holders of the securities the full and prompt payment of the interest, principal and any redemption premium on the securities. Chevron’s guarantee will remain in effect until the entire principal amount, all interest and any premium on the securities has been paid in full or otherwise discharged in accordance with the terms of the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture. Chevron’s obligations under its guarantee contained in the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture are unconditional, irrespective of any invalidity, illegality, irregularity or unenforceability of any security or the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture. The trustee has the right to proceed first and directly against Chevron, without first proceeding against Chevron Funding Corporation or exhausting any other remedies it may have, in the event of a default in:

     All of the rights and obligations of Chevron Funding Corporation under the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture and the securities outstanding under the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture may be assigned and transferred to:

Provided that the requirements of this covenant have been met, upon the assignment or transfer, all of the obligations of Chevron Funding Corporation under the indenture and the securities issued under the indenture shall cease and Chevron Funding Corporation shall be released from its liability as obligor and from all other obligations under the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture. In connection with any assignment other than to Chevron, either

Any successor to Chevron Funding Corporation under the Chevron Funding Corporation indenture must be organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or one of the states of the United States of America. In the event Chevron Funding Corporation assigns all of its rights and obligations in respect of the indenture and any outstanding securities to Chevron, the covenants of Chevron described above under “—Covenants of Chevron” and any other covenants for the benefit of any series of securities issued under that indenture will remain in effect.

     Securities may be sold in any one or more of the following ways:

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

     All amounts reflected in the table below are estimated except the SEC registration fee.

     Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in which Chevron and Chevron Funding Corporation are incorporated, permits the indemnification of any person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding in which such person is made a party by reason of his or her being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or serving or having served, at the request of the corporation, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

     Article VIII of Chevron’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Chevron Certificate”) provides for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents and any person serving or having served, 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, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     As permitted by section 102 of General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Chevron Certificate eliminates the liability of a Chevron director for monetary damages to Chevron and its stockholders for any breach of the director’s fiduciary duty, except for liability under section 174 of General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or liability for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Chevron or its stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

     The directors and officers of Chevron and Chevron Funding Corporation are covered by policies of insurance under which they are insured, within limits and 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 or directors or officers of its subsidiaries under the applicable statutes and Chevron’s by-law provisions.
