Audit Committee
Our audit committee assists the board of directors in its oversight of the integrity of financial statements and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and corporate policies and controls. It has sole authority to retain and terminate our independent registered public accounting firm, approve all auditing services and related fees and the terms thereof, and pre-approve any non-audit services to be rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Conflicts Committee
Our conflicts committee reviews specific matters that may involve conflicts of interest in accordance with the terms of our partnership agreement. The board of directors determines whether to refer a matter to the conflicts committee on a case-by-case basis. Members may not be officers or employees of our general partner or directors, officers or employees of its affiliates (including Chevron).
