Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisition of PDC Energy, Inc. | Acquisition of PDC Energy, Inc. On August 7, 2023, the company acquired PDC Energy, Inc. (PDC), an independent exploration and production company with operations in the Denver-Julesburg Basin in Colorado and the Delaware Basin in west Texas. The aggregate purchase price of PDC was $6.5 billion, with approximately 41 million shares of Chevron common stock issued as consideration in the transaction. The shares represented approximately 2 percent of shares of Chevron common stock outstanding immediately after the transaction closed on August 7, 2023. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair value. Provisional fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the date of acquisition, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow approach that incorporated internally generated price assumptions and production profiles together with appropriate operating cost and development cost assumptions. Debt assumed in the acquisition was valued based on observable market prices for PDC’s debt. As a result of measuring the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at fair value, there was no goodwill or bargain purchase recognized. The following table summarizes the provisional fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

Current assets |  |  | $ | 630 |
