The change in the fair value of the embedded option relates to the debentures exchangeable into shares of Chevron Corporation common stock. These expenses were caused primarily by increases in the price of Chevron Corporation’s common stock.
 
In 2005, we recognized a $39 million loss on certain oil derivative financial instruments that no longer qualified for hedge accounting because the hedged production exceeded actual and projected production under these contracts. The lower than expected production was caused primarily by hurricanes that affected offshore production in the Gulf of Mexico.
