     SAN RAMON, Calif., May 9, 2005 – In a move to present a clear, strong and unified presence in the global marketplace, ChevronTexaco Corporation is changing its name to Chevron Corporation, effective immediately.

To convey a clear, strong and unified presence across the 180 markets where we do business, we are adopting a single corporate identity.”
