                       of Vice Chairman Glenn F. Tilton


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2, 2002 - ChevronTexaco today expressed its appreciation
to Vice Chairman of the Board Glenn F. Tilton, who is leaving the company to
become Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of UAL Corporation, the
parent company of United Airlines.
        "For more than three decades, Glenn Tilton provided outstanding
leadership at Texaco and most recently at ChevronTexaco," said David J.
O'Reilly, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ChevronTexaco.  "He has
played a major role in our successful merger and deserves considerable credit
for the progress we've made so far.  On a personal note, Glenn is an individual
of exceptional integrity, and his experience and wisdom have been invaluable to
me and to our entire leadership team.  I know all of our colleagues join me in
wishing him the best in his new role."
Tilton said, "Although I'm very eager to take on this new opportunity, my
excitement is tempered by the realization that I'll be leaving the great
company where I have spent my entire career.  Fortunately, I can leave with
complete confidence that the men and women of ChevronTexaco, under Dave
O'Reilly's leadership, are well positioned to take full advantage of the
company's tremendous potential.  Dave and his leadership team have provided a
clear vision of what the combined company can accomplish, and it has been a
