In this report,Form 10-K, “Occidental” means, “we”, “our” and “the Company” refers to Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (OPC) incorporated in 1986, or OPCOccidental and one or more entities in which it owns a controlling interest (subsidiaries). Occidental conducts its operations through its various subsidiaries and affiliates. Occidental’s executive offices are located at 5 Greenway Plaza, Suite 110, Houston, Texas 77046; telephone (713) 215-7000.
On August 8, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 9, 2019, among Occidental, Baseball Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental (Merger Subsidiary), and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko), Occidental acquired all of the outstanding shares of Anadarko through a transaction in which Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Anadarko (the Acquisition), with Anadarko continuing as the surviving entity and as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental.
Occidental’s principal businesses consist of three reporting segments: oil and gas, chemical and marketingmidstream and midstream.marketing. The oil and gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL)(which includes condensate), NGL and natural gas. The chemical segment (OxyChem) mainlyprimarily manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The marketingmidstream and midstreammarketing segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil, condensate, NGL, natural gas, carbon dioxide (COCO2) and power. It also trades aroundoptimizes its assets, including transportation and storage capacity, and invests in entities that conduct similar activities, such as Western Midstream Partners, L.P. (WES).WES.
The marketingmidstream and midstreammarketing segment also includes Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV).OLCV. OLCV seeks to capitalizeleverage Occidental’s legacy of carbon management expertise to develop CCUS projects, including the commercialization of DAC technology, and invests in other low-carbon technologies intended to reduce GHG emissions from its operations and strategically partner with other industries to help reduce their emissions.
Occidental’s culture is built upon the following core values:
■Lead with Passion
■Outperform Expectations
■Deliver Results Responsibly
■Unleash Opportunities
■Commit to Good
Occidental’s human capital resources and programs are managed by its Human Resources department, with support from business leaders across the company. Occidental’s senior management team plays a key role in setting and monitoring Occidental’s culture, values and broader human capital management practices, with oversight by Occidental’s Board of Directors, the Sustainability and Shareholder Engagement Committee of the Board and the Environmental, Health & Safety Committee of the Board. The Sustainability and Shareholder Engagement Committee periodically receives briefings on Occidental’s human capital strategy and the Environmental, Health & Safety Committee receives briefings on employee and contractor health and safety statistics and related matters, including workforce health and safety initiatives. Senior management and the Board also engage regularly on workforce-related topics.
To enhance senior leadership’s engagement with employees, Occidental hosts quarterly executive virtual conversations where Occidental’s President and CEO, Vicki Hollub, and other executive officers review recent financial and operational performance as well as topics pertinent to employees. Occidental’s CEO also answers employee questions during these conversations. The quarterly executive virtual conversations form one piece of Occidental’s employee outreach and engagement, which consists of newsletters, focus groups and employee resource groups, among other channels and tools.
DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND BELONGING
The intent of Occidental’s DIB culture is to create an environment where employees’ differences are appreciated, celebrated and encouraged. Occidental conducted a robust survey across the organization, the results of which were reviewed by the Board and became a basis for Occidental’s core values.
The Company’s human capital resources extend across several regions. Occidental has attracted, and continues to recruit, a diverse workforce of exceptional talent, including employees from many nations. This diversity enriches Occidental’s culture, its employees' experiences on the job and contributes to an innovative and effective business model that encourages local communities to thrive. DIB powers Occidental’s innovation and spirit of excellence, as well as its knowledge and results. Embedding DIB into Occidental’s culture enhances collaboration, performance and growth and helps uphold its organizational values.
The DIB Advisory Board, which is chaired by Occidental’s President and CEO and includes members of senior leadership, provides DIB governance and oversight to ensure that Occidental’s integrated DIB strategy is executed and aligns with the Company’s mission, vision and strategic objectives. The DIB Ambassador Committee, which is chaired by Occidental’s Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion, consists of a diverse group of employee representatives from all
business segments, domestic and international. This committee leads company-wide initiatives to raise DIB awareness through educational resources and programs. Educational sessions are available to the entire workforce for continued growth and development on topics such as inclusive leadership, diversity advocacy, recognizing and addressing micro aggressions, overcoming unconscious bias and psychological safety at work.
Occidental’s senior management, together with the support of Occidental’s DIB Advisory Board and the DIB Ambassador Committee, works to leverage employees’ varied backgrounds, unique experiences and points of view to spark innovation, empower growth, outperform expectations and maximize results.
In October 2022, as part of Occidental’s integrated DIB strategy, the Human Resources department launched eight new Employee Resource Groups. An ERG is a group of employees who actively engage in communicating or gathering around a central purpose, mission, background or activity. ERGs can help advance inclusion and a sense of belonging of employees with a common set of interests and/or goals. The mission and goals of ERGs are fully aligned with Occidental’s expectation to be an employer, partner, and neighbor of choice. Each ERG is inclusive of all employees—everyone can benefit from and participate in an ERG, either as a member or an ally. Occidental’s ERGs are as follows:
•Allyship
•Black Employee Network
•Early Career Network
•FRIEND (Friends, Relatives and Individuals Empowering Neurodiversity)
•Hispanic Network
•Mental Health Matters
•Mosaic (Multicultural) Network
•Out (LGBT+) Network
•Veterans Network
•Women of Oxy Network
TALENT ATTRACTION AND RETENTION
Occidental recruits candidates through job fairs, professional societies and campus recruiting, including expanded recruiting at historically black colleges and universities.
In 2022, Occidental began to return to in-person interviews, and the university relations team worked with universities and their staff to ensure that any in-person interviews and events were conducted safely. In addition, all college internships were in-person with appropriate health and safety precautions as senior leadership continued to monitor federal, state and local guidance and public health data.
In response to employee feedback received by the Human Resources department, to attract and retain talent, Occidental implemented the Balanced Workplace Program in 2022 under which eligible office-based employees may opt to work three days in the office and two days at home each week. The program affords employees more flexibility and promotes increased balance. The Human Resources department solicited feedback from employees participating in the Balanced Workplace Program regarding their experience and to gauge interest in other work arrangements. Following review of such feedback, in June 2022, the Human Resources department began conducting a fully remote pilot program for employees in certain functions.
In 2021, Occidental implemented its global Strategic Technical Excellence Program to recruit, develop and retain highly skilled and valued geoscientists, engineers, scientists and other petrotechnical professionals who will collectively drive innovation, advance performance and inspire the future of energy. STEP is a highly valued program for technical contributors to focus and advance on a technical, non-managerial career path and provides a competitive advantage for Occidental through the optimum application of technology. The Chief Petrotechnical Officer leads all aspects of STEP and reports directly to Occidental’s President and CEO.
Occidental also offers employees development opportunities, competitive compensation and attractive benefits, as discussed further below.
DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING
Occidental employees have access to extensive development and training opportunities and programs to expand their personal and professional skills and knowledge. Occidental’s approach to education includes:
■Leadership/management training to develop leadership skills at all levels;
■Self-directed learning and development, including web-based and instructor-led training;
■An employee development library;
■Mentoring programs;
■Employee resource groups; and
■Educational assistance to support employees’ continuing education.
In January 2022, Occidental expanded its development and training opportunities and programs from 94 on-demand professional development classes to over 3,000 on-demand classes with over 26,000 types of learning materials (videos, audio books, etc.).
In May 2022, Occidental launched its new domestic mentoring program, EMPower. The purpose of this program is to provide an avenue for enhancing critical business skills, broadening employee networks, and engaging our employees. This program is available for all domestic employees. EMPower is intended to help employees reach their potential through training and empowerment, allowing employees to advance in their careers and develop critical skills.
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
In addition to prioritizing employee engagement and development, Occidental’s compensation and benefits program is designed to attract and retain the talent necessary to achieve its business strategy. The compensation and benefits program recognizes and rewards strong company and individual performance with competitive base salaries, an annual bonus program, recognition awards, long-term performance incentives and advancement opportunities. In 2022, Occidental awarded a one-time special bonus to recognize the innovative and dedicated work of the company’s employees and resulting strong operational and financial performance. The Company’s compensation and benefits program is routinely reviewed and benchmarked to ensure competitiveness and to provide the benefits that matter most to current and future employees.
Occidental strives to give employees the tools and resources they need to succeed both professionally and personally and to foster a safe and collaborative work environment. To that end, Occidental offers, and regularly evaluates, its comprehensive health, welfare and retirement and savings benefits plans, professional memberships and work/life balance benefits. It also provides programs to enhance and support employees’ overall well-being, including their physical, mental, social and financial health.
In January 2022, Occidental introduced a new benefit service provider that provides a health care concierge service to help families manage and navigate medical, in-home care, housing, and social/emotional support, for their own or their families’ complex care needs. Furthermore, to make the most of employees’ benefits, it is important employees are aware of all that the company has to offer to help employees live well and work well. In the fall of 2022, members of the company’s Employee Benefits department presented a Total Rewards Roadshow and traveled to numerous Occidental sites to connect with employees, answer questions and share valuable information about benefits.
MENTAL HEALTH
Addressing well-being is imperative to ensure that Occidental’s employees stay resilient, healthy and productive. In 2021, Occidental launched the global well-being campaign “Commit to You” to educate employees and leaders about how its benefits can support them under the four pillars of well-being: mental, physical, social and financial.
In 2022, Occidental prioritized the importance of mental health and well-being through manager and employee programs and events. One program, sponsored by OxyHealth and the Mental Health Matters ERG, was a "Talk Saves Lives" conversation with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to learn about common risk factors, how to spot warning signs in others, and how to keep employees, loved ones, and those in the community safe. Most recently, on January 1, 2023, the company launched an enhanced oil recovery (EOR)mental health benefit through Lyra Health. Lyra Health provides mental and emotional healthcare that is effective, convenient and personalized to all employees globally.
Occidental continues to be a member of One Mind at Work, an employer coalition dedicated to implementing a gold standard for workplace mental health by combating stigma, improving access to treatment and prevention services and fostering a psychologically safe culture. In 2022, Occidental’s CEO and the Chairman of One Mind at Work participated in a video broadcast for employees about breaking down the stigma around mental health challenges at work and what Occidental employees can expect as we transition into an organization where mental health is an accepted and visible part of its well-being.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The health and safety of Occidental’s workforce and communities is a top priority. In 2022, the Board approved updates to the company’s longstanding Health, Safety and Environmental Principles (as revised, the HSE and Sustainability Principles) that management recommended based on engagement with shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. The HSE and Sustainability Principles reinforce the alignment among Occidental’s core values, goals and strategies, underpin the operational management system, and help to guide Occidentals global workforce. Occidental endeavors to apply these principles to improve workplace and contractor safety, prevent and mitigate incidents, and safeguard people and the environment in the communities where it operates. In addition to complying with applicable HSE laws, regulations, policies and procedures, employees and contractors are empowered and expected to stop any job or activity if they observe conditions that may give rise to a safety or environmental incident, and they are often recognized for doing so.

GENERAL
Occidental’s oil and gas assets are located in some of the world’s highest-margin basins and are characterized by an advantaged mix of short- and long-cycle high-return development opportunities. Occidental primarily conducts its ongoing exploration and production activities in the United States, the Middle East and Latin America.North Africa. Within the United States, Occidental has operations primarily in Texas, New Mexico Colorado, Wyoming and Utah,Colorado, as well as offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico. Internationally, Occidental primarily conducts operations in the UAE, Oman United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar and Colombia.Algeria. Refer to the Oil and Gas Acreage section in Supplemental Oil and Gas Information - Oil and Gas Acreage under Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further disclosure of Occidental’s holdings of developed and undeveloped oil and gas acreage.In connection with the Acquisition, Occidental agreed to sell to TOTAL S.A. (Total) all of the assets, liabilities, businesses and operations of Anadarko’s operations in Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique and South Africa (collectively, the Africa Assets). Occidental completed the sale of Mozambique LNG assets for approximately $4.2 billion in September 2019. The remaining Africa Assets are classified as held-for-sale and not considered part of Occidental’s ongoing international operations as of December 31, 2019. In January 2020, Occidental completed the sale of South Africa assets to Total. The closing of the sale of the remaining Africa Assets is conditioned on the receipt of required regulatory and government approvals, as well as other customary closing conditions.
COMPETITION
As a producer of oil, condensate, NGL and natural gas, Occidental competes with numerous other domestic and international public, private and government producers. Oil, NGL and natural gas are sensitive to prevailing global and local current andmarket conditions, as well as anticipated market conditions. Occidental’s competitive strategy relies on producing hydrocarbons in a capital efficient manner through developing conventional and unconventional fields, and utilizing primary, secondary (waterflood) and tertiary (CO2 and steam flood) recovery techniques in areas where Occidental has a competitive advantage as a result of its successful operations or investments in shared infrastructure. Occidental also competes to develop and produce its worldwide oil and gas reserves safely, sustainably and cost-effectively, maintain a skilled workforce and use high quality service providers. Occidental believes that its core competencies in CO2 separation, transportation, use, recycling and storage in EOR provide a competitive advantage over its peers as the world transitions to a less carbon-intensive economy and seeks to remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

| MIDSTREAM AND MARKETING OPERATIONS |
GENERAL
Occidental’s midstream and marketing operations primarily support and enhance its oil and gas and chemical businesses. The midstream and marketing segment strives to optimize the use of its gathering, processing, transportation, storage and terminal commitments and to provide access to domestic and international markets. To generate returns, the segment evaluates opportunities across the value chain to provide services to Occidental subsidiaries, as well as third parties. The midstream and marketing segment operates or contracts for services on gathering systems, gas plants, co-generation facilities and storage facilities and invests in entities that conduct similar activities, such as WES and DEL, which are accounted for as equity method investments. WES owns gathering systems, plants and pipelines and earns revenue from fee-based and service-based contracts with Occidental and third parties. DEL owns and operates a pipeline that connects its gas processing and compression plant in Qatar and its receiving facilities in the UAE, and uses its network of DEL-owned and other existing leased pipelines to supply natural gas across the UAE and to Oman. The midstream segment includes Al Hosn Gas, a processing facility in the UAE that removes sulfur from natural gas and processes the natural gas and sulfur for sale. The midstream and marketing segment also includes OLCV businesses.
LOW-CARBON BUSINESS
Leveraging Occidental’s carbon management expertise, OLCV primarily focuses on advancing carbon removal and CCUS projects, including developing and commercializing DAC technology. OLCV also invests in third-party entities that are developing technologies that advance other low-carbon initiatives, including NET Power, a clean energy technology company.
COMPETITION
Occidental’s midstream and marketing businesses operate in competitive and highly regulated markets. Occidental competes for capacity and infrastructure for the gathering, processing, transportation, storage and delivery of its products, which are sold at current market prices or on a forward basis to refiners, end users and other market participants. Occidental’s competitive strategy relies on increasing production through developing conventional and unconventional fields, utilizing primary and EOR techniques and strategic acquisitions in areas where Occidental has a competitive advantage as a result of its successful operations or investments in shared infrastructure. Occidental also competes to develop and produce its worldwide oil and gas reserves safely and cost-effectively, maintain a skilled workforce and obtain quality services.

MARKETING AND MIDSTREAM OPERATIONS |
GENERAL
Occidental’s marketing and midstream operations primarily support and enhance its oil and gas and chemical businesses and also provide similar services for third parties. The marketing and midstream segment strives to maximize realized value by optimizing the use of its gathering, processing, transportation, storage and terminal commitments and by providing access to domestic and international markets. To generate returns, the segment evaluates opportunities across the value chain and uses its assets to provide services to Occidental subsidiaries, as well as third parties. The marketing and midstream segment operates gathering systems, gas plants, co-generation facilities and storage facilities and invests in entities that conduct similar activities. Also included in the marketing and midstream segment is OLCV.
Included in the marketing and midstream segment is Occidental’s equity method investment in WES. WES owns gathering systems, plants and pipelines and earns revenue from fee-based and service-based contracts with Occidental and third parties.
COMPETITION
Occidental’s marketing and midstream businesses operate in competitive and highly regulated markets. From the date of the Acquisition to December 31, 2019, WES was a consolidated subsidiary in Occidental’s financial statements. Occidental’s marketing business competes with other market participants on exchange platforms and through other bilateral transactions with direct counterparties. OLCV and its businesses and investees also face a broad range of competitors including state-owned enterprises; multinational companies in the energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, transportation, technology and financial sectors; and startup companies, with nascent markets for low-carbon products and CO2 removal credits that are subject to rapidly changing laws, regulations, policies and reporting and verification mechanisms that can significantly impact the financing, construction and operation of projects and the development of markets.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks related to Occidental’s business and operations
Volatile global and local commodity pricing strongly affect Occidental’s results of operations.
Occidental’s financial results correlate closely to the prices it obtains for its products, particularly oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas and NGL, and its chemical products.
Prices for oil, natural gas and NGL fluctuate widely. Historically, the markets for oil, natural gas and NGL have been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. If the prices of oil, natural gas, or NGL continue to be volatile or decline, Occidental’s operations, financial condition, cash flows, level of expendituresgovernment regulations and the quantity of estimated proved reserves that may be attributed to our properties may be materially and adversely affected. Prices are set by global and local market forces which are not in Occidental’s control. These factors include, among others:environment
| |
Ø | Worldwide and domestic supplies of, and demand for, oil, natural gas, NGL and refined products; |
| |
Ø | The cost of exploring for, developing, producing, refining and marketing oil, natural gas, NGL and refined products; |
| |
Ø | Operational impacts such as production disruptions, technological advances and regional market conditions, including available transportation capacity and infrastructure constraints in producing areas; |
| |
Ø | Changes in weather patterns and climate; |
| |
Ø | The impacts of the members of OPEC and other non-OPEC member-producing nations that may agree to and maintain production levels; |
| |
Ø | The worldwide military and political environment, including uncertainty or instability resulting from an escalation or outbreak of armed hostilities or acts of terrorism in the United States, or elsewhere; |
| |
Ø | The price and availability of alternative and competing fuels; |
| |
Ø | Technological advances affecting energy consumption and supply; |
| |
Ø | Domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes; |
| |
Ø | Shareholder activism or activities by non-governmental organizations to restrict the exploration, development and production of oil, natural gas and NGL; |
| |
Ø | Additional or increased nationalization and expropriation activities by foreign governments; |
| |
Ø | The impact and uncertainty of world health events; |
| |
Ø | Volatility in commodity futures markets; |
| |
Ø | The effect of energy conservation efforts; and |
| |
Ø | Global inventory levels and general economic conditions. |
The long-term effects of these and other conditions on the prices of oil, natural gas, NGL and refined products are uncertain, and there can be no assurance that the demand or pricing for Occidental’s products will follow historic patterns or recover meaningfully in the near term. Prolonged or substantial decline, or sustained market uncertainty, in these commodity prices may have the following effects on Occidental’s business:
| |
Ø | Adversely affect Occidental’s financial condition, liquidity, ability to reduce debt, pay dividends, finance planned capital expenditures, ability to repurchase shares and results of operations; |
| |
Ø | Reduce the amount of oil, natural gas and NGLs that Occidental can produce economically; |
| |
Ø | Cause Occidental to delay or postpone some of its capital projects; |
| |
Ø | Reduce Occidental’s revenues, operating income or cash flows; |
| |
Ø | Reduce the amounts of Occidental’s estimated proved oil, natural gas and NGL reserves; |
| |
Ø | Reduce the carrying value of Occidental’s oil and natural gas properties due to recognizing impairments of proved properties, unproved properties and exploration assets; |
| |
Ø | Reduce the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to oil, natural gas and NGL reserves; |
| |
Ø | Limit Occidental’s access to, or increase the cost of, sources of capital such as equity and long-term debt; and |
| |
Ø | Adversely affect the ability of Occidental’s partners to fund their working interest capital requirements.
|
Generally, Occidental’s historical practice has been to remain exposed to the market prices of commodities. In 2019, management elected to hedge a portion of Occidental’s expected 2020 oil production to enhance cash flow stability following the Acquisition. In the future, management may elect to hedge some of the risk of oil, natural gas and NGL price fluctuations. Past or future commodity price risk management activities may prevent us from fully benefiting from price increases and may expose us to regulatory and other risks.
The prices obtained for Occidental’s chemical products correlate to the health of the United States and global economies, as well as chemical industry expansion and contraction cycles. Occidental also depends on feedstocks and energy to produce chemicals, which are commodities subject to significant price fluctuations.
Occidental may experience delays, cost overruns, losses or other unrealized expectations in development efforts and exploration activities.
Oil, natural gas and NGL exploration and production activities are subject to numerous risks beyond our control, including the risk that drilling will not result in commercially viable oil, natural gas and NGL production. In its development and exploration activities, Occidental bears the risks of:
| |
Ø | Escalating costs or competition for services, materials, supplies or labor; |
| |
Ø | Property or border disputes; |
| |
Ø | Disappointing drilling results or reservoir performance; |
| |
Ø | Title problems and other associated risks that may affect its ability to profitably grow production, replace reserves and achieve its targeted returns; |
| |
Ø | Actions by third-party operators of our properties; |
| |
Ø | Delays and costs of drilling wells on lands subject to complex development terms and circumstances; and |
| |
Ø | Oil, natural gas or NGL gathering, transportation and processing availability, restrictions or limitations. |
Exploration is inherently risky and is subject to delays, misinterpretation of geologic or engineering data, unexpected geologic conditions or finding reserves of disappointing quality or quantity, which may result in significant losses.
Governmental actions and political instability may adversely affect Occidental’s businesses and results of operations.
Occidental’s businesses are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the actions and decisions of many federal, state, local and foreigninternational governments and political interests. As a result, Occidental faces risks of:
| |
Ø | New or amended laws and regulations, or new or different applications or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, including those related to drilling, manufacturing or production processes (including well stimulation techniques such as hydraulic fracturing and acidization), pipelines, labor and employment, taxes, royalty rates, permitted production rates, entitlements, import, export and use of raw materials, equipment or products, use or increased use of land, water and other natural resources, safety, the manufacturing of chemicals, asset integrity management, the marketing or export of commodities, security and environmental protection, all of which may restrict or prohibit activities of Occidental or its contractors, increase Occidental’s costs or reduce demand for Occidental’s products. In addition, violation of certain governmental laws and regulations may result in strict, joint and several liability and the imposition of significant civil and criminal fines and penalties; |
| |
Ø | ■New or amended laws and regulations, or new or different applications or interpretations of existing laws and regulations, including those related to drilling, manufacturing or production processes (including flaring and well stimulation techniques such as hydraulic fracturing and acidization), pipelines, labor and employment, taxes, royalty rates, permitted production rates, entitlements, import, export and use of raw materials, equipment or products, use or increased use of land, water and other natural resources, air emissions (including restrictions, taxes or fees on emissions of methane, CO2,or other substances), water recycling and disposal, waste minimization and disposal, public and occupational health and safety, the manufacturing of chemicals, asset integrity management, the marketing or export of commodities, security, environmental protection, and climate change-related and sustainability initiatives, all of which may restrict or prohibit activities of Occidental or its contractors or customers, increase Occidental’s costs or reduce demand for Occidental’s products. ■Violation of certain governmental laws and regulations, which may result in strict, joint and several liability and the imposition of significant administrative, civil or criminal fines and penalties and may also result in liability for remedial actions or assessments. Litigation, orders or other proceedings asserting strict, joint and several liability under such laws and regulations may seek to impose significant administrative, civil or criminal fines and penalties, damages or remedial actions or to require significant changes to, or even closure of, facilities or operations; ■Refusal of, or delay in, the extension or grant of exploration, development or production contracts; and |
| |
Ø | Development delays and cost overruns due to approval delays for, or denial of, drilling, construction, environmental and other regulatory approvals, permits and authorizations. |
As an example of local governmental actions, some counties in Colorado have amended their land use regulations to impose new requirements on oil and gas development while other local governments have entered memoranda of agreement with oil and gas producers to accomplish the same objective. Further, voters in Colorado have proposed or advanced ballot initiatives restricting or banning oil and gas development in Colorado. In the event that these ballot initiatives are adopted or the county-level regulations are implemented in areas where we conduct operations, we may incur significant costs to comply with such requirements or may experience delays or curtailment in the permitting or pursuit of exploration, development or production activities.contracts; and
■Development delays and cost overruns due to approval delays for, or denial of, drilling, construction, environmental and other regulatory approvals, permits and authorizations
.
In November 2021, Congress passed and President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act reinstated the federal Superfund excise taxes on various chemicals that OxyChem manufactures. These excise taxes could lead to higher costs and impact margins. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act also authorized the U.S. government to award grants for CCUS research, development and demonstration; carbon transport and storage infrastructure and permitting; carbon utilization and market development; and carbon removal. These grant programs were developed during 2022 and the awarding of grants in 2023 or future years could affect the selection and deployment of competing low-carbon technologies and the financing and market acceptance of proposed projects.
In August 2022, Congress passed and President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, which expanded policy support and incentives for deployment of DAC, CCUS, hydrogen and other low-carbon projects, including several enhancements to federal tax credits. The Inflation Reduction Act also established an escalating methane emissions fee that the EPA will impose on certain upstream and midstream oil and gas operations per metric ton of methane emissions above certain thresholds commencing in 2024. The impact of this fee on Occidental will depend on implementing regulations that are expected to be issued in 2023.
In November 2021, the U.S. Department of the Interior released its Report on the Federal Oil and Gas Leasing Program, recommending increasing royalty rates and rents for drilling programs on federal public lands and in federal offshore waters, in addition to prioritizing leasing in areas with known resource potential and in proximity to existing oil and gas infrastructure and avoiding leasing in areas with competing uses such as recreation, wildlife habitat, conservation and historical and cultural resources. If the U.S. Department of the Interior were to issue regulations implementing these recommendations, Occidental’s subsidiaries could incur increased federal royalties and face restrictions on future potential drilling sites or infrastructure on federal lands.
In January 2022, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia invalidated the results of the BOEM oil and gas lease sale 257 in the Gulf of Mexico, in which an Occidental subsidiary was the high bidder on 30 additional new blocks located nearby to its existing host platforms, ruling that the BOEM’s environmental analysis of GHG emissions was inadequate under NEPA. The U.S. Department of the Interior, which oversees federal oil and gas development, is currently reviewing the decision. In August 2022, Congress reinstated the lease sale in the IRA, and the Occidental subsidiary received the leases in October 2022. Motions to dismiss are pending in the legal challenge to the lease sale. The BOEM’s authorization to hold lease sales expired in July 2022. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has issued a proposed 2023-2028 Five-Year Program which is subject to environmental review and public comment, and must be approved before future lease sales can occur.
In June 2022, advocacy groups filed a petition in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the BLM seeking to invalidate numerous drilling permits for oil and gas wells on federal lands in New Mexico and Wyoming, and potentially other states, that were approved by the BLM during the Biden Administration, including certain permits obtained by Occidental subsidiaries. The plaintiffs allege that the BLM failed to comply with various statutes, including NEPA, the Endangered Species Act and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, by not adequately addressing GHG emissions
and climate change in the environmental documents underlying the approvals. Occidental, other producers and multiple trade associations have intervened and the BLM is preparing an administrative record. Similar cases challenge permits issued to other operators with respect to the BLM’s consideration of GHG and other air emissions under NEPA and other statutes.
In January 2023, the White House Council on Environmental Quality issued interim guidance to federal agencies for evaluating GHG emissions under NEPA that applies to certain federal actions such as oil and gas leasing and permitting on federal lands. The interim guidance, which is subject to public comment until March 2023, recommends that agencies quantify a project’s reasonably foreseeable direct and indirect GHG emissions and assign a monetary impact of the GHGs by applying a social cost of carbon selected by the government.
Although the foregoing BOEM proposed Five-Year Program for offshore leasing, the White House Council on Environmental Quality guidance and lawsuits do not affect Occidental’s existing production or planned 2023 drilling and completions activity, restrictions or uncertainty regarding federal lease sales and permits and associated royalty and regulatory requirements could impact the future ability to develop resources efficiently on federal lands and in federal waters.
Significant areas of the Permian Basin in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico are subject to current or proposed land use restrictions under the Endangered Species Act. In August 2022, in response to a lawsuit by advocacy groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed to decide before the end of June 2023 whether to add the Dunes Sagebrush Lizard to the list of threatened and endangered species. In November 2022, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published a final rule listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken as endangered. Although Occidental has entered into voluntary conservation agreements with respect to these and other species and their associated habitat in the Permian Basin, listing of such species may impose significant operational requirements and costs and increase the potential for litigation and enforcement actions.
In January 2021, the COGCC adopted new regulations that impose siting requirements or “setbacks” on certain oil and gas drilling locations based on the distance of a proposed well pad to occupied structures. Pursuant to the regulations, well pads cannot be located within 500 feet of an occupied structure without the consent of the property owner. As part of the permitting process, the COGCC will consider a series of siting requirements for all drilling locations located between 500 feet and 2,000 feet of an occupied structure. Alternatively, the operator may seek a waiver from each owner and tenant within the designated distance. Occidental has a dedicated, multidisciplinary stakeholder relations team that conducts regulatory and community outreach with respect to its permit applications and operations in Colorado. Under these new regulations and through thoughtful surface location planning, Occidental has obtained COGCC approval for five Oil and Gas Development Plans, inclusive of 12 well pad and facility locations and approximately 150 wells. In addition to the approximately 150 wells approved through the Oil and Gas Development Plan process, during the third quarter of 2022, Occidental became the first oil and gas operator in Colorado to obtain COGCC approval for the first Comprehensive Area Plan under the new COGCC rules. This comprehensive plan will support nine well pads and approximately 140 new wells and will provide for substantial future development in a geographically remote area on Colorado’s eastern plains. Oil and Gas Development Plans associated with the Comprehensive Area Plan will be submitted in 2023. While, as of December 31, 2022, Occidental is permitted, or had permit applications submitted to applicable regulatory agencies, for nearly all planned 2023 drilling and completions activity in the DJ Basin, any significant delays could result in changes to our development program in the DJ Basin and our ability to establish new proved undeveloped locations by meeting the SEC’s “reasonably certain” threshold for adding PUD reserves.
Texas and New Mexico have experienced an increase in seismic activity, with events measuring magnitude 3 or greater in each state. In the fourth quarter of 2021, both states issued new guidelines for operators to prevent or mitigate seismic activity, focused on produced water disposal wells. These guidelines also require operators to implement response plans for activities within agency-designated seismic response areas. These states have curtailed water disposal and suspended permits in seismic response areas, particularly in deep disposal wells. Occidental does not operate deep disposal wells in the seismic response areas established by the state agencies to date, and its shallow disposal wells have been authorized to operate at agency-approved volume limits. Occidental also has central water treatment and recycling facilities that reduce the need for disposal of produced water. While Occidental’s ability to drill and complete wells or to dispose of surplus produced water has not been impacted by these seismic guidelines to date, increased seismicity, or regulatory responses to seismic events, could impact the location, timing and cost of Occidental’s development program and existing operations in seismic response areas.
In 2016, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) was amended to expand the EPA’s authority to evaluate and regulate new and existing chemicals. The EPA is currently evaluating, or developing regulations with respect to, certain chemicals that OxyChem produces or uses in its chemical manufacturing operations. In April 2022, the EPA issued a proposed rule with respect to one chemical used in OxyChem’s manufacturing operations, but the EPA has not issued final regulations under the 2016 TSCA amendments with respect to any of these chemicals to date. Depending on the scope of any such final regulations, or of future TSCA regulations, OxyChem’s ability to use certain chemicals or to manufacture or sell certain of its products could be restricted and its costs could increase.
In addition, Occidental has experienced and may continue to experience adverse consequences, such as risk of loss or production limitations, because certain of its international operations are located in countries affected by political instability, nationalizations, corruption, armed conflict, terrorism, insurgency, civil unrest, security problems, labor unrest, OPEC production restrictions, equipment import restrictions and sanctions. Exposure to such risks may increase if a greater percentage of Occidental’s future oil and gas production or revenue comes from international sources.
Climate change and further regulation of GHG and other air emissions may adversely affect Occidental’s businesses and results of operations.
Continuing political, social and industry attention to climate change has resulted in both existing and pending international agreements and national, regional and local legislation and regulatory programs to reduce GHG emissions. The Biden Administration has identified climate change as a priority and has described a variety of avenues to prohibit or restrict oil and gas development activities in certain areas. In addition to the governmental actions described above, in February 2021, the Biden Administration established an Interagency Working Group to assign a price to the impact of each metric ton of GHG emissions that federal agencies could use to assess the benefits of more stringent GHG regulations and policy support for low-carbon projects. The Interagency Working Group set an interim value of $51 per metric ton of CO2 emissions at a 3% discount rate, and is expected to issue an updated value in April 2023.
In June 2021, Congress and President Biden reinstated the methane provisions of EPA’s 2012 and 2016 regulations, an action that Occidental supported. In November 2021, the White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy issued a U.S. Methane Emissions Reduction Action Plan that solicited public comment on the EPA’s proposed framework to expand federal regulation of methane and volatile organic compound emissions from a broader set of new upstream and midstream oil and gas operations, as well as various existing operations.
In November 2022, the EPA issued a supplemental proposal that would, through a combination of direct EPA regulation and state implementation plans, expand leak detection and repair programs, require rapid reporting and correction of larger emission sources, require emission controls for new and existing wells and facilities and certain types of activities, require replacement or conversion of certain emitting equipment such as pneumatic controllers, and encourage the use of advanced technologies to detect and measure methane emissions. Provisions applicable to emission sources built or modified after November 2021 would apply upon publication of the final rule, expected in 2023, provisions applicable to existing sources would take effect in 2028, and state plans to implement the rule would be due in 2025. The EPA has also requested public comments on the implementation of the IRA’s methane fee, and on the future expansion of the methane and volatile organic compound regulations to cover additional potential emission sources from abandoned but unplugged wells and certain pipeline and trucking activities. In November 2022, the BLM also proposed regulations to restrict venting and flaring from oil and gas operations on federal lands which are expected to be issued in 2023.
In June 2022, the EPA proposed to amend its GHG Reporting Rule to incorporate additional oil and gas sources and equipment, revise existing emissions estimation methodologies and calculations, and increase data collection, particularly for new or modified emissions sources. The EPA has proposed the amendments to apply to 2023 emissions that must be reported in the first quarter of 2024. These proposed amendments could increase Occidental’s reported estimated emissions from certain sources or types of equipment in its U.S. oil and gas operations. The EPA also proposed changes to the reporting that Occidental submits as a CO2 supplier and for the injection of CO2, as well as a new reporting category for sequestration of CO2 associated with enhanced oil recovery. The IRA also directed the EPA to update its GHG Reporting Rule to require greater use of measurements or empirical data, instead of emissions factors, by the third quarter of 2024.
Several state governments have also established rules aimed at reducing GHG emissions, some including GHG cap and trade programs and others directly regulating equipment that emits GHGs, including methane, and other compounds. Most of these cap and trade programs work by requiring major sources of emissions, such as electric power plants, or major producers of fuels, including refineries and natural gas processing plants, to acquire and surrender emission allowances. Other U.S. states where Occidental operates, including Colorado, New Mexico and Texas, adopted or proposed new regulations, policies or strategies in 2021 and 2022 that increase inspection, recordkeeping, reporting, enforcement and controls on flaring, venting and equipment that emit methane and other compounds at oil and gas facilities. In certain instances, these states anticipate tying the processing and active status of oil and gas permits, including drilling permits, to air emissions and compliance. For example, Colorado has established GHG intensity targets for DJ Basin operators in 2025, 2027 and 2030, which Occidental currently meets.
These and other governmental actions relating to GHG and other air emissions are expected to require Occidental to incur increased operating and maintenance costs including higher rates charged by service providers and costs to purchase, operate and maintain emissions control systems, acquire emission allowances, pay taxes or fees for methane or carbon emissions and comply with new regulatory or reporting requirements; and they could prevent Occidental from conducting oil and gas development activities in certain areas. They could also promote the use of alternative sources of energy and thereby decrease demand for oil, NGL and natural gas and other products that Occidental’s businesses produce, and could also materially impact OLCV’s current or future operations and strategy. Any such legislation or regulatory programs could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, oil, NGL, natural gas or other products produced by Occidental’s businesses and lower the value of its reserves. Consequently, governmental actions designed to reduce GHG emissions could have an adverse effect on Occidental’s businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reserves.
It is difficult to predict the timing, certainty and scope of such government actions and their ultimate effect on Occidental, which could depend on, among other things, the type and extent of GHG emissions reductions required, the availability and price of emission allowances or credits, the availability and price of alternative fuel sources, the energy sectors covered and
Occidental’s ability to recover the costs incurred through its operating agreements or the pricing of its oil, NGL, natural gas and other products and whether service providers are able to pass increased costs through to Occidental.
There also have been efforts in the investment community, including investment advisers, financial institutions and certain sovereign wealth, pension and endowment funds, as well as political actors and other stakeholders, promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities, reducing access to capital markets and pressuring lenders to limit funding or increase the cost of lending to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Additionally, institutional lenders who provide financing to oil and gas companies have become more attentive to sustainable lending practices, and some of them may substantially reduce, or elect not to provide, funding for oil and gas companies. Such environmental initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air emissions could adversely affect Occidental’s business activities, operations and ability to access capital, cause the market value of its securities to decrease or its cost of capital to increase, and adversely affect its reputation. Finally, increasing attention to climate change risks has resulted in an increased possibility of governmental investigations and additional private litigation against Occidental without regard to causation or its contribution to the asserted damage, which could increase its costs or otherwise adversely affect our businesses.
Compliance costs and liabilities associated with health, safety and environmental laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s or its subsidiaries’ businesses, financial condition and results of operations.
Occidental and its subsidiaries and their respective operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations relating to public and occupational health, safety and environmental protection, including those governing air and GHG emissions, water use and discharges, waste management and protection of wildlife and ecosystems. The requirements of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly complex, stringent and expensive to implement. Costs of compliance with these laws and regulations are significant and can be unpredictable. These laws sometimes provide for strict liability for events that pose an impact or threat to public health and safety or to the environment, including for funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged personal injury, property damage, natural resource damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs. Strict liability can render Occidental or its subsidiaries liable for damages without regard to their degree of care or fault. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of spills and releases of hazardous substances or materials, and, as a result, Occidental or its subsidiaries could be liable for the actions of others.
Occidental and its subsidiaries use and generate hazardous substances or materials in their respective operations. In addition, many of their current and former properties are, or have been, used for industrial purposes. Accordingly, Occidental or its subsidiaries have been, and could become, subject to significant liabilities relating to the investigation, assessment and remediation of potentially contaminated properties and to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of exposures to, or releases of, hazardous substances or materials. As of the date of this filing, Occidental believes its range of reasonably possibly additional losses of its subsidiaries beyond those amounts currently recorded for environmental remediation could be up to $2.7 billion on a consolidated basis. For additional discussion of some of these matters, see Note 12 – Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures and Note 13 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
In addition, stricter enforcement or changing interpretations of existing laws and regulations, the enactment of new laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new or increased requirements could require Occidental or its subsidiaries to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on their respective businesses, financial condition and results of operations.
Occidental’s businesses may experience catastrophic events.
The occurrence of severe weather events such as hurricanes, floods, freezes and heat waves, droughts, earthquakes or other acts of nature, pandemics, well blowouts, fires, explosions, pipeline ruptures, chemical releases, oil releases, including maritime releases, releases into navigable waters and groundwater contamination, material or mechanical failure, power outages, industrial accidents, physical or cyber attacks, abnormally pressured or structured formations and other events that cause operations to cease or be curtailed may negatively affect Occidental’s businesses and the communities in which it operates. Coastal operations are particularly susceptible to disruption from severe weather events. Any of these risks could adversely affect Occidental’s ability to conduct operations or result in substantial losses as a result of:
■Damage to and destruction of property and equipment, including property and equipment owned by third-parties which its operations rely upon;
■Damage to natural resources;
■Pollution and other environmental damage, including spillage or mishandling of recovered chemicals or fluids;
■Regulatory investigations, fines and penalties;
■Loss of well location, acreage, expected production and related reserves;
■Suspension or delay of its operations;
■Substantial liability claims; and
■Significant repair and remediation costs that increase its break-even economics.
Third-party insurance may not provide adequate coverage or Occidental or its subsidiaries may be self-insured with respect to the related losses. In addition, under certain circumstances, Occidental or its subsidiaries may be liable for environmental conditions on properties that they currently own, lease or operate that were caused by previous owners or operators of those properties. As a result, Occidental or its subsidiaries may incur substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities for environmental matters for which they do not have insurance coverage, which could reduce or eliminate funds available for exploration, development, acquisitions or other investments in their respective businesses, or cause them to incur losses.
The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting adverse economic conditions have had, and may continue to have, an adverse effect on Occidental’s businesses and operations and financial condition.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused, and any resurgence of the pandemic could again cause, disrupted global supply chains and significant volatility in the financial markets. Current crude oil, NGL and natural gas demand and prices could be negatively impacted by a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, slow vaccine distribution in certain large international economies or the recurrence or tightening of travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders. If reduced demand for and lower prices of crude oil, NGL and natural gas persist for a prolonged period, Occidental’s operations, financial condition, cash flows, level of expenditures and the quantity of estimated proved reserves that may be attributed to its properties may be materially and adversely affected. Occidental has not experienced any significant disruptions as a result of any new COVID-19 variants, and it continues to monitor national, state and local government directives where we have operations or offices. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects Occidental’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, many of which are outside of its control. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to adversely affect Occidental’s businesses, results of operations and financial condition, it may also have the effect of heightening the other risks described herein.
Risks related to Occidental’s businesses and operations
Volatile global and local commodity pricing strongly affect Occidental’s results of operations.
Occidental’s financial results correlate closely to the prices it obtains for its products, particularly oil and, to a lesser extent, NGL, natural gas and its chemical products.
Prices for oil, NGL and natural gas fluctuate widely. Historically, the markets for oil, NGL and natural gas have been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. If the prices of oil, NGL or natural gas continue to be volatile or decline, Occidental’s operations, financial condition, cash flows, level of expenditures and the quantity of estimated proved reserves that may be attributed to its properties may be materially and adversely affected. Prices are set by global and local market forces which are not in Occidental’s control. These factors include, among others:
■Worldwide and domestic supplies of, and demand for, oil, NGL, natural gas and refined products;
■The cost of exploring for, developing, producing, refining and marketing oil, NGL, natural gas and refined products;
■Operational impacts such as production disruptions, technological advances and regional market conditions, including available transportation capacity and infrastructure constraints in producing areas;
■Changes in weather patterns and climate;
■The impacts of the members of OPEC and other non-OPEC member-producing nations that may agree to and maintain production levels;
■The ongoing global impact of the Russia-Ukraine war;
■The worldwide military and political environment, including uncertainty or instability resulting from an escalation or outbreak of armed hostilities or acts of terrorism in the United States or elsewhere;
■The price and availability of and demand for alternative and competing fuels and emissions reducing technology;
■Technological advances affecting energy consumption and supply;
■Government policies and support and market demand for low-carbon technologies;
■Domestic and international governmental regulations and taxes, including those that restrict the export of hydrocarbons;
■Shareholder activism or activities by non-governmental organizations to restrict the exploration, development and production of oil, NGL and natural gas;
■Additional or increased nationalization and expropriation activities by international governments;
■The impact and uncertainty of world health events, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the spread of new variants;
■The effect of releases from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve;
■Volatility in commodity markets;
■The effect of energy conservation efforts; and
■Global inventory levels and general economic conditions.
The long-term effects of these and other conditions on the prices of oil, NGL, natural gas and chemical products are uncertain and there can be no assurance that the demand or pricing for Occidental’s products will follow historic patterns in
the near term. Prolonged or substantial decline, or sustained market uncertainty, in these commodity prices may have the following effects on Occidental’s business:
■Adversely affect Occidental’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, ability to reduce debt, access to and cost of capital, and ability to finance planned capital expenditures, pay dividends and repurchase shares;
■Reduce the amount of oil, NGL and natural gas that Occidental can produce economically;
■Cause Occidental to delay or postpone some of its capital projects;
■Reduce Occidental’s revenues, operating income or cash flows;
■Reduce the amounts of Occidental’s estimated proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves;
■Reduce the carrying value of Occidental’s oil and natural gas properties due to recognizing impairments of proved properties, unproved properties and exploration assets;
■Reduce the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows relating to oil, NGL and natural gas reserves; and
■Adversely affect the ability of Occidental’s partners to fund their working interest capital requirements.
Generally, Occidental’s historical practice has been to remain exposed to the market prices of commodities. As of December 31, 2022, there were no active commodity hedges in place. Management may choose to put hedges in place in the future for oil, NGL and natural gas commodities. Commodity price risk management activities may prevent Occidental from fully benefiting from price increases and may expose it to regulatory, counterparty credit and other risks.
The prices obtained for Occidental’s chemical products correlate to the strength of the United States and global economies, as well as chemical industry expansion and contraction cycles. Occidental also depends on feedstocks and energy to produce chemicals, which are commodities subject to significant price fluctuations.
Occidental may experience delays, cost overruns, losses or other unrealized expectations in development efforts and exploration activities.
Oil, NGL and natural gas exploration and production activities are subject to numerous risks beyond Occidental’s control, including the risk that drilling will not result in commercially viable oil, NGL and natural gas production. In its development and exploration activities, Occidental bears the risks of:
■Equipment failures;
■Construction delays;
■Escalating costs or competition for services, materials, supplies or labor;
■Increasing prices as a result of broad inflation
■Property or border disputes;
■Disappointing drilling results or reservoir performance;
■Title problems and other associated risks that may affect its ability to profitably grow production, replace reserves and achieve its targeted returns;
■Actions by third-party operators of its properties;
■Permit delays and costs of drilling wells on lands subject to complex development terms and circumstances; and
■Oil, NGL and natural gas gathering, transportation and processing availability, restrictions or limitations.
Exploration is inherently risky and is subject to delays, misinterpretation of geologic or engineering data, unexpected geologic conditions or finding reserves of disappointing quality or quantity, which may result in significant losses.
Claims, litigation, government investigations and other proceedings may adversely affect Occidental’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Occidental is subject to actual and threatened claims, litigation, reviews, investigations, and other proceedings, including proceedings by governments and regulatory authorities, involving a wide range of issues, including regarding our drilling, manufacturing or production processes, commercial disputes, environmental compliance, public health and safety and taxes. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. Determining legal reserves or possible losses from such matters involves judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes. Until the final resolution of such matters, Occidental may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. Should any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Disruptions in the political, regulatory, economic, and social environments of the countries in which Occidental operates could adversely affect its reputation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Occidental’s non-US operations accounted for approximately 15% of its consolidated revenue in 2022, 16% in 2021 and 19% in 2020. Instability and unforeseen changes in any of the markets in which Occidental operates could result in business disruptions or operational challenges that may adversely affect the demand for Occidental’s products and services, or its reputation, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
■ Uncertain or volatile political, social, and economic conditions;
■ Social unrest, acts of terrorism, war, or other armed conflict;
■ Public health crises and other catastrophic events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;
■ Confiscatory taxation or other adverse tax policies;
■ Theft of, or lack of sufficient legal protection for, proprietary technology and other intellectual property;
■ Unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements, including changes in interpretation or enforcement of existing laws;
■ Restrictions on the repatriation of income or capital;
■ Currency exchange controls;
■ Inflation; and
■ Currency exchange, rate fluctuations and devaluations.
Occidental’s oil and gas business operates in highly competitive environments, which affect, among other things, its ability to make acquisitions to growsource production and replace reserves.
Results of operations, reserves replacement and growth inthe level of oil and gas production depend, in part, on Occidental’s ability to profitably acquire additional reserves. Occidental has many competitors (including national oil companies), some of which: (i) are larger and better funded; (ii) may be willing to accept greater risks; (iii) have greater access to capital; (iv) have substantially larger staffs; or (v) have special competencies. Competition for access to reserves may make it more difficult to find attractive investment opportunities or require delay of reserve replacement efforts. Further, during periods of low product prices, any cash conservation efforts may delay production growth and reserve replacement efforts. Also, there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry. OurOccidental’s failure to acquire properties, potentially grow production, replace reserves and attract and retain qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on ourits cash flows and results of operations.
In addition, Occidental’s acquisition activities carry risks that it may: (i) not fully realize anticipated benefits due to less-than-expected reserves or production or changed circumstances, such as declines in oil, NGL and natural gas prices; (ii) bear unexpected integration costs or experience other integration difficulties; (iii) experience share price declines based on the market’s evaluation of the activity; or (iv) be subject to liabilities that are greater than anticipated.
Occidental’s oil and gas reserves are estimates based on professional judgments and may be subject to revision.
Reported oil and gas reserves are an estimate based on periodic review of reservoir characteristics and recoverability, including production decline rates, operating performance and economic feasibility at the prevailingprescribed weighted average commodity prices, assumptions concerning future oil and natural gas prices, future operating costs and capital expenditures, workover and remedial costs, assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies, the quantity, quality and interpretation of relevant data, taxes and availability of funds. The procedures and methods for estimating the reserves by ourOccidental’s internal engineers were reviewed by independent petroleum consultants; however, there are inherent uncertainties in estimating reserves. Actual production, revenues, expenditures, oil, NGL and natural gas prices and taxes with respect to ourOccidental’s reserves may vary from estimates and the variance may be material. Additional regulation around GHG emissions and future costs related to a less carbon-intensive economy could result in a shortened oil and gas reservoir reserve life as the underlying reserves become uneconomical. If Occidental were required to make significant negative reserve revisions, its results of operations and stock price could be adversely affected.
In addition, the discounted cash flows included in this Form 10-K should not be construed as the fair value of the reserves attributable to ourOccidental’s properties. The estimated discounted future net cash flows from proved reserves are based on an unweighted 12-montharithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month pricesprice for each month within the year in accordance with SEC regulations. Actual future prices and costs may differ materially from SEC regulation-compliant prices and costs used for purposes of estimating future discounted net cash flows from proved reserves. Also, actual future net cash flows may differ from these discounted net cash flows due to the amount and timing of actual production, availability of financing for capital expenditures necessary to develop ourOccidental’s undeveloped reserves, supply and demand for oil, NGL and natural gas, increases or decreases in consumption of oil, NGL and natural gas and NGL and changes in governmental regulations or taxation.
Climate change and further regulation of greenhouse gas emissions may adversely affect Occidental’s operations or results.
Continuing political and social attention to the issue of climate change has resulted in both existing and pending international agreements and national, regional and local legislation and regulatory programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In December 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determined that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and the environment because emissions of such gases are, according to the EPA, contributing to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere and other climatic changes. Based on these findings, the EPA began adopting and implementing regulations to restrict emissions of greenhouse gases under existing provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA). For example, the EPA issued rules restricting methane emissions from hydraulically fractured and refractured gas wells, compressors, pneumatic controls, storage vessels, and natural gas processing plants. In addition, in August 2019, the EPA issued the Affordable Clean Energy rule that designates heat rate improvement, or efficiency improvement, as the best system of emissions reduction for carbon dioxide from existing coal-fired electric utility generating units.
In the absence of federal legislation to significantly reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to date, many state governments have established rules aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including greenhouse gas cap and trade programs. Most of these cap and trade programs work by requiring major sources of emissions, such as electric power plants, or major producers of fuels, including refineries and natural gas processing plants, to acquire and surrender emission allowances. In the future, the United States may also choose to adhere to international agreements targeting greenhouse gas reductions. These and other government actions relating to greenhouse gas emissions could require Occidental to incur increased operating and maintenance costs, such as costs to purchase and operate emissions control systems, to acquire emissions allowances, pay carbon taxes, or comply with new regulatory or reporting requirements, or they could promote the use of alternative sources of energy and thereby decrease demand for oil, natural gas, NGL and other products that Occidental’s businesses produce. Any such legislation or regulatory programs could also increase the cost of consuming, and thereby reduce demand for, oil, natural gas, NGL and other products produced by Occidental’s businesses and lower the value of its reserves. Consequently, government actions designed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases could have an adverse effect on Occidental’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and reserves.
It is difficult to predict the timing and certainty of such government actions and their ultimate effect on Occidental, which could depend on, among other things, the type and extent of greenhouse gas reductions required, the availability and price of emissions allowances or credits, the availability and price of alternative fuel sources, the energy sectors covered, and Occidental’s ability to recover the costs incurred through its operating agreements or the pricing of its oil, natural gas, NGL and other products.
There also have been efforts in the investment community, including investment advisers and certain sovereign wealth, pension and endowment funds, as well as other stakeholders, promoting divestment of fossil fuel equities and pressuring lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the extraction of fossil fuel reserves. Such environmental activism and initiatives aimed at limiting climate change and reducing air pollution could interfere with our business activities, operations and ability to access capital. Such initiatives could cause the market value of our securities to decrease, our cost of capital to

Occidental’s results of operations depend on the extent to which it can execute new business strategies effectively relative to both the societal transition to a less carbon-intensive economy and laws, regulations and governmental and private actions regarding the environment and climate change. Occidental’s strategies seek to advance its goals of achieving net-zero emissions (i) from its operations and energy use before 2040, with an ambition to do so before 2035, and (ii) from its total carbon inventory, including the use of its sold products, with an ambition to do so before 2050. Occidental’s strategies and goals are subject to business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond its control. Additionally, Occidental may be forced to develop or implement new technologies at substantial costs to achieve its strategies. Effective execution of these goals may require substantial new capital, which might not be available to Occidental in the amounts or at the times expected. In addition, raising such capital may increase its leverage or overall costs of doing business. These uncertainties and adversely affectcosts could cause Occidental to not be able to fully implement or realize the anticipated results and benefits of its business strategies.
Certain of Occidental’s emissions goals are dependent upon the successful implementation of new and existing technologies on an industrial scale. These technologies are in various stages of development or implementation and may require more capital, or take longer to develop, than currently expected. Further, these carbon management technologies are in competition with technologies being developed by other companies. The carbon management solutions are not well established and, while Occidental believes it has access to the technologies and the expertise necessary to develop these solutions on an industrial scale, Occidental may not ultimately succeed in achieving its GHG emissions reduction and net-zero goals.
Occidental’s strategy to include carbon management in its product line is also dependent upon demand for carbon sequestration and related CO2 removal credits, offsets or other attributes. If this market does not develop, or if the regulatory environment does not support carbon management activities, Occidental may not be successful in entering this industry.
Occidental’s aspirations, goals and initiatives related to carbon management and overall sustainability expose it to numerous risks.
Occidental continues to develop new technologies and strategies to position it to meet its emissions reduction and net-zero goals. Occidental’s efforts to research, establish, accomplish and accurately report on our reputation. Finally, increasing attentionemissions goals, targets and strategies expose it to numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks. Occidental’s ability to reach our target emissions is subject to a multitude of factors and conditions, many of which are out of its control. Examples of such factors include evolving government regulation and voluntary protocols for reporting or verification of emissions, capture or sequestration, the pace of changes in technology, the successful development and deployment of existing or new technologies and business solutions on a commercial scale, the availability, timing and cost of equipment, manufactured goods and services, and the availability of requisite financing and federal and state incentive programs.
In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. There are multiple proposed or recently adopted changes to various GHG reporting regulations and protocols, including from the EPA, as noted earlier, as well as the SEC, the GHG Protocol and certain countries and states, as well as for additional controls, fees or taxes on emissions. In March 2022, for example, the SEC proposed climate disclosure rules that would require public companies to significantly increase disclosure of GHG emissions and strategies, targets, costs and risks associated with climate change risksand the energy transition. While Occidental has resulted in an increased possibilityreported voluntarily on its net-zero pathway and associated goals and targets, as well as GHG emissions estimates, the proposed rules would require both significant additional disclosure and integration of governmental investigationssuch disclosure directly into financial reporting processes. Occidental and additional private litigation against Occidental without regard to causation or our contributionnumerous other stakeholders submitted comments to the asserted damage, whichSEC on the proposed rules. The SEC is expected to issue final rules in 2023. Given the potential significance of these changes for estimation, reporting and verification of GHG emissions, establishing and reporting on goals targets, and estimating and disclosing costs of emissions reduction and the energy transition, Occidental may be required or elect to modify or update reported emissions and its current set of GHG goals and targets to reflect such new or changed regulations and protocols, although we currently expect to retain our overarching net-zero goals and to continue to implement emissions reduction plans that we believe will complement our investments in DAC, CCUS and other low-carbon technologies and infrastructure.
Occidental may face increased scrutiny from the investment community, customers, other stakeholders and the media related to its emissions reduction and net-zero goals and strategies. If Occidental’s emissions goals and strategies to achieve them do not meet evolving investor or other stakeholder expectations or standards, Occidental’s reputation, ability to attract and retain employees and attractiveness as an investment, business partner, supplier or acquirer could increase our costsbe negatively impacted. Similarly, Occidental’s failure or otherwise adversely affect our business. Occidental has been named in certain private litigation relatingperceived failure to fulfill its emissions goals and targets, to comply with ethical, health, safety, environmental, social, governance or other standards, regulations, or expectations, or to satisfy various reporting standards with respect to these matters.matters effectively could have the same negative impacts and further expose Occidental to government enforcement actions and private litigation. Even if Occidental achieves its goals, targets and objectives, it may not realize all of the benefits that it expected at the time the goals were established.
Occidental’s businesses may experience catastrophic events.The occurrence of events such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, earthquakes or other acts of nature, well blowouts, pandemics, fires, explosions, pipeline ruptures, chemical releases, oil releases, including maritime releases, releases into navigable waters, and groundwater contamination, material or mechanical failure, industrial accidents, physical attacks, abnormally pressured or structured formations and other events that cause operations to cease or be curtailed may negatively affect Occidental’s businesses and the communities in which it operates. Coastal operations are particularly susceptible to disruption from extreme weather events. Any of these risks could adversely affect our ability to conduct operations or result in substantial losses to us as a result of:

Occidental has previously recorded impairments of its proved and unproved oil and gas properties and will continue to assess further impairments in the future.
Occidental has recorded impairments of its proved and unproved oil and gas properties resulting from prolonged declines in oil and gas prices and may not provide adequate coveragerecord such impairments in the future.

If there is an adverse downturn of the macroeconomic conditions and if such downturn is expected to or does persist for a prolonged period of time, Occidental’s oil and gas properties may be self-insured with respectsubject to further testing for impairment, which could result in additional non-cash asset impairments. Such impairments could be material to the related losses. In addition, under certain circumstances, we may be liable for environmental damage caused by previous owners or operators of properties that we own, lease or operate. As a result, we may incur substantial liabilitiesfinancial statements.
Future costs associated with reducing emissions and carbon impacts, as well as impacts resulting from other risk factors described herein, could lead to third parties or governmental entities for environmental matters for which we do not have insurance coverage, which could reduce or eliminate funds available for exploration, development or acquisitions or cause us to incur losses.impairments in the future, if such costs significantly increase Occidental’s breakeven economics.
Occidental uses CO2 for its enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations, and itsEOR operations. Occidental’s production from these operations may decline if Occidental is not able to obtain sufficient amounts of CO2.
Occidental’s CO2 EOR operations are critical to Occidental’s long-term strategy. Oil production from Occidental’s CO2 EOR projects depends largely on having access to sufficient amounts of naturally occurring or anthropogenic (human-made) CO2. Occidental’s ability to produce oil from its CO2 EOR projects would be hindered if the supply of CO2 was limited due to, among other things, problems with current CO2 producing wells and facilities, including compression equipment, catastrophic pipeline failure or the ability to economically purchase naturally occurring or anthropogenic CO2. This could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Future oil production from its CO2 EOR operations is dependent on the timing, volumes and location of CO2 injectionsinjection and, in particular, Occidental’s ability to obtain sufficient volumes of CO2. Market conditions may cause the delay or cancellation of the development of naturally occurring CO2 sources or construction of plants that produce anthropogenic CO2 as a byproduct that can be purchased, thus limiting the amount of CO2 available for use in Occidental’s CO2 EOR operations.
Occidental is exposed to cyber-related risks.
The oil and gas industry is increasingly dependent on digital and industrial control technologies to conduct certain exploration, development and production activities. Occidental relies on digital and industrial control systems, related infrastructure, technologies and networks to run its business and to control and manage its oil and gas, chemicals, marketing and pipeline operations. Use of the internet, cloud services, mobile communication systems and other public networks exposes Occidental’s business and that of other third parties with whom Occidental does business to cyber-attacks. Cyber-attackscyber attacks. Cyber attacks on businesses have escalated in recent years.
Information and industrial control technology system failures, network disruptions and breaches of data security could disrupt our operations by causing delays, impeding processing of transactions and reporting financial results, resulting inleading to the unintentional disclosure of company, partner, customer or employee information or could damage our reputation. A cyber-attackcyber attack involving our information or industrial control systems and related infrastructure, or that of our business associates, could negatively impact our operations in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, the following:
■Unauthorized access to seismic data, reserves information, strategic information or other sensitive or proprietary information could have a negative impact on Occidental’s ability to compete for oil and natural gas resources;
■Data corruption, communication or systems interruption or other operational disruption during drilling activities could result in delays and failure to reach the intended target or cause a drilling incident;
■Data corruption, communication or systems interruption or operational disruptions of production-related infrastructure could result in a loss of production or accidental discharge;
■A cyber attack on OxyChem’s operations could result in a disruption of the manufacturing and marketing of its products or a potential HSE hazard;
■A cyber attack on a vendor or service provider could result in supply chain disruptions, which could delay or halt our construction and development projects;
■A cyber attack on third-party gathering, pipeline, processing, terminal or other infrastructure systems could delay or prevent Occidental from producing, transporting, processing and marketing its production;
■A cyber attack involving commodities exchanges or financial institutions could slow or halt commodities trading, thus preventing Occidental from marketing its production or engaging in hedging activities;
■A cyber attack that halts activities at a power generation facility or refinery using natural gas as feedstock could have a significant impact on the natural gas market;
■A cyber attack on a communications network or power grid could cause operational disruption;
■A cyber attack on Occidental’s automated and surveillance systems could cause a loss in production and potential HSE hazards;
■A deliberate corruption of Occidental’s financial or operating data could result in events of non-compliance which could then lead to regulatory fines or penalties; and
■A cyber attack resulting in the loss or disclosure of, or damage to, Occidental’s or any of its customer’s or supplier’s data or confidential information could harm its business by damaging its reputation, subjecting Occidental to

Even thoughAlthough Occidental has implemented controls and multiple layers of security that it believes are reasonable to mitigate the risks of a cyber-attack that it believes are reasonable,cyber attack, there can be no assurance that such cyber security measures will be sufficient to prevent security breaches of its systems from occurring, and if a breach occurs, it may remain undetected for an extended period of time. Further, Occidental has no control over the comparable systems of the third parties with whom it does business. While Occidental has experienced cyber-attackscyber attacks in the past, Occidental has not suffered any material losses. However, if in the future Occidental’s cyber security measures are compromised or prove insufficient, the potential consequences to Occidental’s businesses and the communities in which it operates could be significant. As cyber-attackscyber attacks continue to evolve in magnitude and sophistication, Occidental may be required to expend additional resources in order to continue to enhance Occidental’sits cyber security measures and to investigate and remediate any digital and operational systems, related infrastructure, technologies and network security vulnerabilities, which would increase ourits costs. A system failure or data security breach, or a series of such failures or breaches, could have a material adverse effect on ourOccidental’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Occidental’s oil and gas reserve additions may not continue at the same rate and a failure to replace reserves may negatively affect Occidental’s business.
Producing oil and natural gas reservoirs generally are characterized by declining production rates that vary depending upon reservoir characteristics and other factors. Unless Occidental conducts successful exploration or development activities, acquires properties containing proved reserves, or both, proved reserves will generally decline and negatively impact our business. The value of ourOccidental’s securities and ourits ability to raise capital will be adversely impacted if we areit is not able to replace reserves that are depleted by production or replace our declining production with new production. Managementproduction by successfully allocating annual capital to maintain our reserves and production base. Occidental expects infill development projects, extensions, discoveries and improved recovery extensions and discoveries to continue as main sources for reserve additions but factors such as geology, government regulations and permits, the effectiveness of development plans and the ability to make the necessary capital investments or acquire capital are partially or fully outside management’s control and could cause results to differ materially from expectations.
Occidental’s commodity-price risk management may prevent us from fully benefiting from price increases and may expose us to regulatory and other risks.
To the extent that we engage in activities to protect Occidental’s cash flows from commodity-price declines, we may be prevented from realizing the full benefits of price increases above the levels of the derivative instruments used to manage price risk. In addition, Occidental’s commodity-price risk management may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which the following occur:
| |
Ø | Occidental’s production is less than the notional volume; |
| |
Ø | The counterparties to Occidental’s hedging or other price risk management contracts fail to perform under those arrangements; or |
| |
Ø | A sudden, unexpected event materially impacts oil, natural gas or NGL prices. |
Occidental’s operations and financial results could be significantly negatively impacted by its offshore operations.
Occidental is vulnerable to risks associated with our offshore operations that could negatively impact ourits operations and financial results. Certain Occidental conductssubsidiaries conduct offshore operations primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and Ghana. Occidental’stheir operations and financial results could be significantly impacted by conditions in some of these areas and are also vulnerable to certain unique risks associated with operating offshore, including thoseconditions relating to the following:
Ø ■Hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions;
Ø ■Geological complexities and water depths associated with such operations;
Ø ■Limited number of partners available to participate in projects;
Ø ■Oilfield service costs and availability;
Ø ■Compliance with environmental, safety,HSE and other laws and regulations;
Ø ■Terrorist attacks or piracy;
Ø ■Remediation and other costs and regulatory changes resulting from oil spills, emissions or releases of hazardous substances or materials;
Ø ■Failure of equipment or facilities; and
Ø ■Response capabilities for personnel, equipment or environmental incidents.
In addition, certain Occidental conductssubsidiaries conduct some of itstheir exploration in deep waters (greater than 1,000 feet) where operations, support services and decommissioning activities are more difficult and costly than in shallower waters. The deep waters in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as international deepwaterdeep-water locations, lack the physical and oilfield service infrastructure present in shallower waters. As a result, deepwaterdeep-water operations may require significant time between a discovery and the time that Occidental can market its production, thereby increasing the risk involved with these operations.
Additional domestic and international deepwater drilling laws, regulations and other restrictions, delays in the processing and approval of drilling permits and exploration, development, oil spill response and decommissioning plans and other offshore-related developments may have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement have imposed more stringent permitting procedures and regulatory safety and performance requirements for new wells to be drilled in federal waters. In addition, these governmental agencies are continuing to evaluate, develop and implement new, more restrictive regulatory requirements, which could result in additional costs, delays, restrictions or obligations with respect to oil exploration and production operations conducted offshore. For example, the BOEM has considered, and may adopt, supplemental bonding procedures for the decommissioning of offshore wells, platforms, pipelines and other facilities, which may be material. Compliance with these more stringent regulatory requirements and with existing environmental and oil spill regulations, together with any uncertainties or inconsistencies in decisions and rulings by governmental agencies, delays in the processing and approval of drilling permits or exploration, development, oil spill-response and decommissioning plans, and possible additional regulatory initiatives could result in difficult and more costly actions and adversely affect or delay new drilling and ongoing development efforts.
Occidental’s indebtedness may make it more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse developments in its business. A downgrade in Occidental’s credit ratings or future increases in interest rates may negatively impact Occidental’s cost of and ability to access the capital markets.
Occidental incurred indebtedness and other payment obligations in connection with the Acquisition. Occidental’s higher level of indebtedness could increase Occidental’s vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, economic downturns and adverse developments in its business and/or limit Occidental’s flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in its business and the industries in which it operates. From time to time, Occidental has relied on access to the capital markets for funding, including in connection with the Acquisition. There can be no assurance that additional debt or equity financing will be available to Occidental in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. Occidental’s ability to obtain additional financing or refinancing will be subject to a number of factors, including general economic and market conditions, Occidental’s performance, investor sentiment and its existing debt compliance requirements. If Occidental is unable to generate sufficient funds from its operations to satisfy its capital requirements, including its existing debt obligations, or to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, Occidental’s business could be adversely affected. In addition, a downgrade in the credit rating of Occidental could negatively impact its cost of and ability to access capital and to effectively execute aspects of its strategy, and may require Occidental to provide collateral, letters of credit, or other forms of security under certain contractual agreements, which would increase Occidental’s operating costs. As a result, a downgrade below investment grade in Occidental’s credit ratings could have a material adverse impact on Occidental’s financial condition, operating results, or liquidity.
Further, a portion of Occidental’s indebtedness bears interest at fluctuating interest rates, some of which is tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR tends to fluctuate based on general interest rates, rates set by the Federal Reserve and other central banks, the supply of and demand for credit in the London interbank market and general economic conditions. In July 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to stop compelling banks
to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a newly created index, calculated based on repurchase agreements backed by treasury securities. It is not possible to predict the effect of these changes, other reforms or the establishment of alternative reference rates in the United Kingdom, the United States or elsewhere. These reforms and other pressures may cause LIBOR to disappear entirely or to perform differently than in the past. The consequences of these developments cannot be entirely predicted, but may include an increase in the cost of Occidental’s variable rate indebtedness, including floating rate notes and interest rate swaps, which may have an adverse effect on Occidental’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
Risks related to Occidental’s Acquisition of Anadarko
Occidental may not be able to integrate Anadarko successfully, and many of the anticipated benefits of combining Occidental and Anadarko may not be realized.
Occidental acquired Anadarko with the expectation that the Acquisition will result in various benefits, including, among other things, operating efficiencies. Achieving those anticipated benefits is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether Occidental can integrate the business of Anadarko in an efficient and effective manner. Occidental cannot ensure that those benefits will be realized as quickly as expected or at all. If Occidental does not achieve anticipated benefits, costs could increase, expected net income could decrease, the stock price could decline, and future business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could suffer.
The integration process could take longer than anticipated and involve unanticipated costs. Disruptions of each company’s ongoing businesses, processes and systems or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies and compensation arrangements could adversely affect the combined company. Occidental may also have difficulty addressing differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies and harmonizing other systems and business practices. Although Occidental expects that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two businesses, will over time offset the substantial incremental transaction and Acquisition-related costs, Occidental may not achieve this net benefit in the near term, or at all.
Moreover, even if the integration of Anadarko is successful, the integration process places a significant burden on Occidental’s management and internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention away from day-to-day business concerns and any difficulties encountered in the integration process could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Future results will be negatively impacted if Occidental does not effectively manage its expanded operations.
With completion of the Acquisition, the size of Occidental’s business has increased significantly. Occidental’s continued success depends, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which poses substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. Occidental cannot assure that it will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings and other benefits from the combination currently anticipated.
Anadarko’s Tronox settlement may not be deductible for income tax purposes, andpurposes; Occidental may be required to repay the tax refund Anadarko received in 2016 related to the deduction of the Tronox settlement payment, which may have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.
In April 2014, Anadarko and Kerr-McGee Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, Kerr-McGee) entered into a settlement agreement for $5.15$5.2 billion, resolving, among other things, all claims that were or could have been asserted in connection with the May 2009 lawsuit filed by Tronox against Anadarko and Kerr-McGee Corporation (and certain of its subsidiaries) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. After the settlement became effective in January 2015, Anadarko paid $5.2 billion and deducted this payment on its 2015 federal income tax return. Due
to the deduction, Anadarko had a net operating loss carryback for 2015, which resulted in a tentative tax refund of $881 million in 2016. Occidental’s consolidated financial statements include an uncertain tax position greater than the amount of the tentative tax refund received.
The IRS has audited Anadarko’s tax position regarding the deductibility of the payment and in September 2018 issued a statutory notice of deficiency rejecting Anadarko’s refund claim. Anadarko disagreed and filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court to dispute the disallowance in November 2018. ItIn December 2022, the parties filed competing motions for partial summary judgment. The motions are not fully briefed. Trial is possible thatset for May 2023. Occidental may not ultimately succeed in defending this deduction.expects to continue pursuing resolution. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740’s guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions, as of December 31, 2022, Occidental had recorded no tax benefit on the tentative cash tax refund. If the payment is ultimately determined not to be deductible, Occidental would be required to repay the tentative refund received plus interest totaling approximately $1.1$1.8 billion as of December 31, 2019,2022, which could have a material adverse effect on our statement of operations, liquidity and consolidated balance sheets. Occidental’s Consolidated Financial Statements include an uncertain tax position for the approximate repayment of $1.4 billion ($1.4 billion federal and $28 million in state taxes) plus accrued interest of approximately $415 million. This amount is not covered by insurance. For additional information on income taxes, see Note 1110 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Occidental may not be able to complete its planned divestitures of certain assets on favorable terms or at all.
Occidental announced a $15 billion divestiture program in connection with the Acquisition. The completion of these divestitures is subject to customary closing conditions, and certain of the divestitures are conditioned on the receipt of required government and regulatory approvals. Occidental may not be able to complete its planned divestitures on favorable terms, in a timely manner or at all. Any difficulties with respect to the completion of the planned divestitures could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or stock price. See Note 4 - Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other TransactionsIncome Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II Item 8 of this Form 10-K10-K.
Occidental’s indebtedness may make it more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse developments in its businesses. Downgrades in Occidental’s credit ratings or future increases in interest rates may negatively impact Occidental’s cost of capital, and ability to access capital markets.
Occidental’s level of indebtedness could increase its vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, economic downturns and adverse developments in its businesses or limit Occidental’s flexibility in planning for information aboutor reacting to changes in its business and the Total transaction.industries in which it operates. From time to time, Occidental has relied on access to capital markets for funding. Occidental’s ability to obtain additional financing or refinancing will be subject to a number of factors, including general economic and market conditions, Occidental’s performance, investor sentiment and its ability to meet existing debt compliance requirements. If Occidental is unable to generate sufficient funds from its operations to satisfy its capital requirements, including its existing debt obligations, or to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, Occidental’s business could be adversely affected. As of the date of this filing, Occidental’s long-term debt was rated BB+ by Fitch Ratings, Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service and BB+ by Standard and Poor’s.
One of Occidental’s subsidiaries acts as the general partner of WES, a publicly traded master limited partnership. Its general partner interest in WES may increase the possibility that it could be subject to claims of breach of duties owed to WES, including claims of conflict of interest. Any such claims could increase Occidental’s costs and any liability resulting from such claims could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONCURRENT BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND ANALYSIS | STRATEGY |
GENERAL
Occidental’s operations, financial condition, cash flows and levels of expenditures are highly dependent on oil prices and, to a lesser extent, NGL and natural gas prices, the Midland-to-Gulf-Coast oil spreads, chemical product prices and inflationary pressures in the macro-economic environment. In 2022, as compared to 2021, the average annual price per barrel of WTI crude increased to $94.23 from $67.91 and the average annual Brent price per barrel increased to $98.83 from $70.78. The return of oil demand to its pre-pandemic levels, the ongoing global impact of the Russia-Ukraine war and the limited increase in supply in 2022 have resulted in an increase in benchmark oil prices year-over-year. Occidental does not operate or own assets in either Russia or Ukraine. It is expected that the price of oil will be volatile for the foreseeable future given the current geopolitical risks, the ongoing global impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, and uncertainty around the global economy, oil demand in China as it emerges from its zero-COVID policy, production levels in OPEC and non-OPEC oil producing countries and further releases from or additions to the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Occidental works to manage inflation impacts by capitalizing on operational efficiencies, locking in pricing on longer term contracts and working closely with vendors to secure the supply of critical materials. As of December 31, 2022, substantially all of Occidental's outstanding debt is fixed rate.
STRATEGY
Occidental is focused on delivering a unique shareholder value proposition through continual enhancements towith its asset quality, organizational capabilityportfolio of oil and innovative technical applications that provide competitive advantages. Occidental’s integrated business provides conventionalgas, chemicals and unconventional opportunities through which to grow value.midstream and marketing assets and its ongoing development of carbon management and storage solutions and GHG emissions reduction efforts. Occidental conducts its operations with a priority on HSE, sustainability and social responsibility. Occidental aims to maximize shareholder returns through a combination of:
| |
Ø | Maintaining a sustainable and sector-leading dividend; |
| |
Ø | Allocating capital to high-return, short-cycle and long-cycle, cash-flow generating opportunities across its integrated business; |
| |
Ø | Generating free cash flow growth to reduce debt and return cash to shareholders; |
| |
Ø | Achieving production growth rates of up to 5% over the long-term; and |
| |
Ø | Maintaining a strong balance sheet to secure business and enhance shareholder value. |
Occidental conducts
■Returning capital to shareholders, while redeeming a portion of preferred equity to continue improving Occidental’s financial position;
■Enhancing its operationsexisting asset base with new investments in its core cash-generative oil and gas and chemical businesses as well as emerging low-carbon businesses with a focus on sustainability, health, safetyits net-zero pathway;
■Advancing technologies and environmentalbusiness solutions to help drive a sustainable low-carbon future; and social responsibility.
■Further reducing long-term financial leverage.
OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND CAPITAL EFFICIENCY
Occidental's operational priorities for 2022 were to maximize operational efficiencies by investing $4.5 billion in high return assets to generate long-term sustainable free cash flow that will provide cash flow stability throughout the commodity cycle. Occidental set new operational records and efficiency benchmarks in the Permian, Rockies, Gulf of Mexico, Oman and UAE. OxyChem generated record earnings, beating its previous record set in 2021. With the increase in commodity prices and Occidental’s focus on its operational efficiencies, Occidental’s higher cash flow allowed it to reduce its leverage and advance its shareholder return framework.
DEBT AND INTEREST RATE SWAPS
Strong cash flow in 2022 allowed Occidental to continue its deleveraging efforts. In 2022, Occidental reduced its debt principal by more than $10.5 billion, leaving less than $18.0 billion outstanding as of December 31, 2022, and meeting its near-term debt reduction goal. As of December 31, 2022, Occidental had debt maturities of approximately $22 million in 2023, $1.1 billion in 2024 and $1.2 billion in 2025. The current maturity of $22 million was paid in January 2023, leaving no debt maturing in 2023.
Occidental’s $673 million Zero Coupons can be put to Occidental in October of each year, in whole or in part, for the then accreted value of the outstanding Zero Coupons. The Zero Coupons can next be put to Occidental in October 2023, which, if put in whole, would require a payment of approximately $344 million at such date. Occidental currently has the intent and ability to meet this obligation, including, if necessary, using amounts available under the RCF should the put right be exercised.
In the year ended December 31, 2022, Occidental settled all outstanding interest rate swaps with $255 million in cash and the application of $144 million collateral, leaving none outstanding as of December 31, 2022.
DEBT RATINGS
As of the date of this filing, Occidental’s long-term debt was rated BB+ by Fitch Ratings, Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service and BB+ by Standard and Poor’s. Occidental believes the deleveraging performed to date may lead to future ratings upgrades, but cannot determine the timing of any potential ratings change. Any downgrade in credit ratings could impact Occidental's ability to access capital markets and increase its cost of capital. Occidental’s non-investment grade debt rating may require Occidental or its subsidiaries to provide financial assurance in the form of cash, letters of credit, surety bonds or other acceptable support under certain contractual arrangements.

| | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
SHAREHOLDER RETURN FRAMEWORK
Capital is employedreturned to operate all assetsshareholders through Occidental’s dividend and share repurchases. Occidental’s current dividend is $0.18 per share per quarter, or $0.72 on an annualized basis. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Occidental completed its $3.0 billion share repurchase program. In February 2023, the Board authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $3.0 billion of Occidental’s shares of common stock. Occidental anticipates that a higher percentage of excess free cash flow is expected to be allocated to shareholder returns in 2023 with the intention to begin redeeming the preferred stock. Occidental’s preferred stock includes a safe and environmentally sound manner. Price volatility is inherent inmandatory redemption provision that obligates Occidental to redeem the preferred at 110% of the par value on a dollar-for-dollar basis for every dollar distributed to common shareholders above $4.00 per share, on a trailing 12-month basis.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP STRATEGY
In 2020, Occidental was the first U.S. oil and gas business,company to announce goals to achieve net-zero GHG emissions for its total emissions inventory including use of sold products. These goals include achieving net-zero GHG emissions (i) from its operations and Occidental’s strategy isenergy use before 2040, with an ambition to positiondo so before 2035, and (ii) from its total carbon inventory, including the businessuse of its sold products, with an ambition to thrive in an up- or down-cycle commodity price environment.
On August 8, 2019,do so before 2050. In 2020, Occidental closed on its acquisition of Anadarko. The Acquisition added to Occidental’salso set various interim targets, including 2025 carbon and methane intensity targets, and Occidental was the first U.S. oil and gas portfolio, primarily incompany to endorse the Permian Basin, DJ BasinWorld Bank’s initiative for zero routine flaring by 2030. In 2022, the Board of Directors adopted Occidental’s updated HSE and GulfSustainability Principles, based on engagement with shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. The Principles reinforce the alignment among Occidental’s core values, goals and strategies, underpin our operational management system, and help to guide our workforce across our businesses.
Occidental seeks to meet its sustainability and environmental goals through its development and commercialization of Mexico, as well astechnologies that lower both GHG emissions from industrial processes and existing atmospheric concentrations of CO2. Occidental believes that carbon removal technologies, including DAC and CCUS, can, with incentives necessary for their development and deployment, provide essential CO2 reductions to assist the world’s transition to a significant economic interest in WES. Post-Acquisition, Occidental’s diversified portfolio provides numerous competitive advantages.less carbon-intensive economy. During 2022, Occidental is nowundertook the largestfollowing actions, among others, toward advancing its low-carbon strategy:
■Achieved zero routine flaring of gas across its U.S. oil and gas leaseholderoperations, 8 years ahead of the World Bank’s 2030 target;
■Reduced estimated methane emissions by 33% from the 2020 baseline;
■Began construction activities for DAC 1 in the United StatesPermian;
■Acquired interests in approximately 265,000 net acres of pore space access along the U.S. Gulf Coast; and
■Invested approximately $530 million in low-carbon businesses, technologies, and net-zero pathway advancements, including the aforementioned pore space.
The future costs associated with emissions reduction, carbon removal and CCUS to meet its long-term net-zero GHG goals may be substantial and execution of its plans and net-zero pathway depends on a net acreage basissecuring third-party capital investments. Occidental is pursuing multiple pathways to fund these projects including project financing, long-term carbon removal or CCUS agreements, and identifying business opportunities with ample opportunitiesstakeholders in the Permian Basin, DJ Basin, Powder River Basin and the Gulf of Mexico with the ability to selectively deploy capital in a way that optimizes capital intensity. As the acquired assets are integrated and developed, Occidental will utilize its subsurface and operating expertise to improve productivity and reduce full cycle costs.carbon-intensive industries
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Occidental seeks to meet its strategic goals by continually measuring its success against key performance metricsindicators that drive total stockholder return. In addition to efficient capital allocation and deployment discussed below in the section titled Oil and Gas Segment - Business Strategy,Occidental believes the following are its most significant metrics: | |
Ø | Health, safety and environmental and sustainability-related performance measures; |
| |
Ø | Achieving debt reduction targets; |
| |
Ø | Total shareholder return, including dividends; |
| |
Ø | Maintaining investment grade credit metrics; |
| |
Ø | Return on capital employed (ROCE) and cash return on capital employed (CROCE); |
| |
Ø | Specific measures such as earnings per share, per-unit profit, production cost, cash flow, finding and development costs and reserves replacement percentages; and |
| |
Ø | Acquisition-related synergy and divestiture targets. |
performance indicators are:
OPERATIONAL
■Total spend per barrel - In 2023, Occidental will continue to focus on controlling total costs from a per-barrel perspective. Total spend per barrel is the sum of capital spending, general and administrative expenses, other operating and non-operating expenses and oil and gas lease operating costs divided by global oil, NGL and natural gas sales volumes.
■Daily production - Occidental seeks to maximize field operability and minimize production down-time.
FINANCIAL
■CROCE - CROCE is calculated as (i) the cash flows from operating activities, before changes in working capital, plus distributions from WES classified as investing cash flows, divided by (ii) the average of the opening and closing balances of total equity plus total debt.
■Maintain and improve financial leverage to a level consistent with investment grade credit metrics.
SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
■Specific interim emissions reduction and emissions intensity targets to advance our goal of net-zero operational and energy use emissions before 2040, with an ambition to achieve before 2035.
■Milestones in specific carbon removal and CCUS projects that advance our net-zero total emissions inventory, including use of sold products, with an ambition to achieve before 2050.
■Facilitate deployment of carbon removal, CCUS and other solutions to advance total carbon impact past 2050.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
Occidental’s oil and gas segment focuses on long-term value creation and leadership in sustainability, health, safety and the environment. In each core operating area, Occidental’s operations benefit from scale, technical expertise, decades of high-margin inventory, environmental and safety leadership and commercial and governmental collaboration. These attributes allow Occidental to bring additional production quickly to market, extend the life of older fields at lower costs and provide low-cost returns-driven growth opportunities with advanced technology.
With the completionOccidental is one of the Acquisition, Occidental became the largest U.S. producerproducers of liquids, which includes oil and liquids in the second half of 2019,NGL, allowing Occidental to maximize cash margins on a BOEper barrel basis. Through the Acquisition, Occidental acquired modern 3D seismic data pertaining to approximately 450,000 square miles of core domestic development areas. This resulted in a 40% increase in Occidental’s Permian seismic inventory. The advantages that Occidental’s diversified portfolio provides, coupled with unmatchedits advanced subsurface characterization ability and the proven ability to execute, ensures thatposition Occidental is positioned for full-cycle success in the years ahead. The oil and gas segment continues to focus on integration of the newly acquired assets and efforts to realize synergies at an early stagemaximizes efficiencies to deliver lower breakeven costs and generate excess free cash flow.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | |
As a result of Occidental’s strategic positioning, Occidental’s assets provide current production and a future portfolio of projects that are flexible and have short-cycle investment paybacks. Together with Occidental’s technical capabilities, the The oil and gas segment strives to achieve low development and operating costs to maximize full-cycle value of the assets.
The oil and gas business implements Occidental’s strategy primarily by:
Ø
■Operating and developing areas where reserves are known to exist and optimizing capital intensity in core areas, primarily in the Permian Basin, DJ Basin, Gulf of Mexico, UAE, Oman Qatar and Colombia;Algeria;
Ø■Maintaining a disciplined and prudent approach to capital expenditures with a focus on high-return, short-cycle,short and mid-cycle, cash-flow-generating opportunities and an emphasis on creating value and further enhancing Occidental’s existing positions;
Ø■Focusing Occidental’s subsurface characterization and technical activities on unconventional opportunities, primarily in the Permian Basin;Basin and Rockies;
Ø■Using enhanced oilsecondary and tertiary recovery techniques such as CO2, water and steam floods in mature fields; and
Ø■Focusing on cost-reduction efficiencies and innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions.
In 2019,2022, oil and gas capital expenditures were approximately $5.5$3.8 billion and primarily focused on Occidental’s assets in the Permian Basin, the DJ Basin, Gulf of Mexico and Oman. In 2023, Occidental plans to spend $4.3 billion to $4.7 billion to develop its oil and gas assets.

In the next few years, growth within Occidental’s Permian Basin portfolio is expected to be focused in theThe Permian Resources unconventional assets. In 2019, Occidental spent approximately $3.8 billion of capital in the Permian Basin, of which over 85% was spentbusiness is focused on Permian Resources assets. In 2020, Occidental expectsdeveloping and producing unconventional reservoir targets using horizontal drilling technology. The development programs are designed to allocate approximately 40% of its worldwide capital budget to Permian Resources for development and approximately 8% to Permian EOR for the expansion of existing facilities to increase CO2 production and injection capacity.
In November 2019, Occidental and Ecopetrol formed a joint venture to explore and develop approximately 97,000 net acres of Occidental’s Midland sub-basin properties in the Permian Basin. Occidental owns a 51% interest in the joint venture and is the operator. In exchange for its 49% interest, Ecopetrol paid $750 million in cash to Occidental at closing and will carry 75% of Occidental’s share of capital expenditures, up to $750 million. The joint venture allows Occidental to accelerate its development plans in the Midland Basin, where it currently has minimal activity. Occidental will retain production and cash flow from its existing operations in the Midland Basin.

In 2022, Occidental produced approximately 277 Mboe/d net in the Rockies and Other Domestic locations. Production in the DJ Basin
Through the Acquisition, Occidental is Colorado’s top oil and gas producer with interest in approximately 650,000 net acres. Production is derived from 2,7002,000 operated vertical wells and 2,0002,400 operated horizontal wells primarily focused in 460,000 net acres in the Niobrara and Codell formations. The DJ Basin, including the North DJ Basin, comprises approximately 800,000 total net acres and provides competitive economics, low breakeven costs and free cash-flow generation.cash flow generation through Occidental’s contiguous acreage position and royalty uplift.
Occidental’s share of production fromIn the DJ Basin, was approximately 303 MBOE/d from the Acquisition date through December 31, 2019. Horizontalhorizontal drilling results in the field continue to be strong, with improved operational efficiencies in drilling and completions. In 2022, Occidental drilled 68 operated horizontal wells and completed 54 operated horizontal wells.
LicenseOccidental is focusing on obtaining the necessary state, local and federal permits required to construct facilities and drill and complete wells in the DJ Basin. In January 2021, the COGCC adopted new regulations that impose siting requirements, or “setbacks,” on certain oil and gas drilling locations based on the distance of a proposed well pad to occupied structures. Under these new regulations and through thoughtful surface location planning, Occidental obtained COGCC approval for five Oil and Gas Development Plans, inclusive of 12 well pad and facility locations and approximately 150 wells. In addition to the approximately 150 wells approved through the Oil and Gas Development Plan process, during the third quarter of 2022, Occidental became the first oil and gas operator in Colorado to obtain COGCC approval for the first Comprehensive Area Plan under the new COGCC rules. This comprehensive plan will support nine well pads and approximately 140 new wells and will provide for substantial future development in a geographically remote area on Colorado’s eastern plains. Oil and Gas Development Plans associated with the Comprehensive Area Plan will be submitted in 2023.
As of December 31, 2022, Occidental is permitted, or had permit applications submitted to applicable regulatory agencies, for nearly all planned 2023 drilling and completions activity in the DJ Basin. In 2023, Occidental plans to submit state and local permits with the goal of building operational inventory and maintaining its social license to operate continues to be a key focus moving into 2020.in Colorado.

Occidental maintains optionality by flexing resources betweenhas gained efficiencies in the permitting process and will continue to look for additional opportunities to do so. As discussed above, Occidental does not anticipate significant near-term changes to our development program in the DJ Basin based on these regulations. However, if Occidental is unable to obtain new drilling permits to develop a significant portion of the company’s undeveloped acreage in the DJ Basin, the company’s DJ Basin assets may be subject to testing for impairment, and another emerging high rate- of-return programif deemed to be impaired, such impairment could be material to our financial statements.
Occidental has interest in over 300,000 net acres in the Powder River Basin.
Powder River
In the southern Powder River Basin, Occidental acquired through the Acquisition approximately 400,000 net acres mainly located in Converse County and Campbell County, Wyoming. The field contains the Turner, Niobrara, Mowry and Parkman formations that hold both liquids and natural gas. In 2022, Occidental drilled 19 operated horizontal wells and completed 14 horizontal wells in the Powder River Basin. The company plans to run one continuous operated drilling rig in 2023 with targeted completion activity throughout the year.
Greater Natural Buttes
The Greater Natural Buttes area in eastern Utah is a tight-gas asset producing primarily from the Mesa Verde, Wasatch and Blackhawk formations. Occidental uses cryogenic and refrigeration processing facilities in this area to extract NGLs from the natural-gas stream. There was no development activity in this field during 2019 due to capital being allocated to higher-margin projects.

INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS
BUSINESS REVIEW
Occidental conducts its ongoing international operations in two sub-regions: the Middle East and Latin America.North Africa. Its activities include oil, NGL and natural gas and NGL production through direct working-interestworking-interests, PSAs and production sharing contracts (PSC).
Production Sharing Contracts
Occidental’s interest in Oman and Dolphin are subject to PSCs. Under such contracts,the PSCs, Occidental records a share of production and reserves to recover certain development and production costs and an additional share for profit. In addition, certain contracts in Colombia are subject to contractual arrangements similar to a PSC. These contracts do not transfer any right of ownership to Occidental and reserves reported from these arrangements are based on Occidental’s economic interest as defined in the contracts. Occidental’s share of production and reserves from these contracts decreases when product prices rise and increases when prices decline. Overall, Occidental’s net economic benefit from these contracts is greater when product prices are higher.
The following chart shows Approximately $0.5 billion of Occidental’s worldwide capital budget is expected to be allocated to its international production volumes for the last five years:

CHANGES IN PROVED RESERVES
Occidental’s total proved reserves from continuing operations increased 1,075 MMBOE in 2019, which was primarily driven by additions of 1,311 MMBOE primarily from the Acquisition and 356 MMBOE from Occidental’s development program. Changes in Occidental’s 2022 reserves were as follows:

| Total | | 1,075305 |
|
Occidental’s ability to add reserves, other than through purchases, depends on the success of infill development, extension, discovery and improved recovery extension and discovery projects, each of which depends on reservoir characteristics, technology improvements and oil and natural gas prices, as well as capital and operating costs. Many of these factors are outside management’s control and may negatively or positively affect Occidental’s reserves.
Purchases of Proved Reserves
In 2019, Occidental purchased proved reserves of 1,311 MMBOE primarily as part of the Acquisition, including proved reserves in the Permian Delaware Basin, the DJ Basin and Gulf of Mexico. As part of smaller asset purchases separate from the Acquisition, Occidental purchased proved reserves in Permian Resources New Mexico.
Revisions of Previous Estimates
Revisions can include upward or downward changes to previous proved reserve estimates for existing fields due to the evaluation or interpretation of geologic, production decline or operating performance data. In addition, product price changes affect proved reserves recorded by Occidental. For example, lower prices may decrease the economically recoverable reserves, particularly for domestic properties, because the reduced margin limits the expected life of the operations. Offsetting this effect, lower prices increase Occidental’s share of proved reserves under PSCs because more oil is required to recover costs. Conversely, when prices rise, Occidental’s share of proved reserves decreases for PSCs and economically recoverable reserves may increase for other operations. Reserve estimation rules require that estimated ultimate recoveries be much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease, as changes are made due to increased availability of technical data.

In 2019, Occidental had negative2022, Occidental’s revisions of 200 MMBOE,previous estimates of proved reserves were positive 474 MMboe. These revisions were primarily due to 335 MMboe of positive revisions related to additions associated with infill development projects, mainly in the Permian Basin (232 MMboe) and the DJ Basin (94 MMboe). An additional 136 MMboe of positive revisions were related price revisions. The positive price revisions were primarily associated with the Permian Basin (147 MMboe), the Gulf of Mexico (8 MMboe) and the DJ Basin (4 MMboe), which were partially offset by negative price revisions changes to development plans andof 29 MMboe on international PSCs.

These properties comprise both conventional projects, which are characterized by the deployment of EOR development methods, largely employing application of CO2flood, waterflood or steam flood, and unconventional projects.flood. These types of conventional EOR development methods can be applied through existing wells, though additional drilling is frequently required to fully optimize the development configuration. Waterflooding is the technique of injecting water into the formation to displace the oil to the offsetting oil production wells. The use of either CO2 or steam flooding depends on the geology of the formation, the evaluation of engineering data, availability and cost of either CO2 or steam and other economic factors. Both techniques work similarly to lower viscosity causing the oil to move more easily to the producing wells. Many of Occidental’s projects, including unconventional projects, rely on improving permeability to increase flow in the wells. In addition, someThe remaining improved recovery comes from drilling infill wells that allow recovery of reserves that would not be recoverable from existing wells.additions were due to secondary and tertiary projects for certain international assets.

Overall, Occidental plans to spend approximately $3.6$4.6 billion over the next five years to develop its proved undevelopedPUD reserves in the Permian Basin.
Occidental’s proved undevelopedPUD reserves are supported by a five-year detailed field-level development plan, which includes the timing, location and capital commitment of the wells to be drilled. Only PUD reserves which are reasonably certain to be drilled within five years of booking and are supported by a final investment decision to drill them are included in the development plan. A portion of the PUD reserves are expected to be developed beyond the five years and are tied to approved long-term development projects.
As of December 31, 2022, Occidental had 241 MMboe of pre-2018 PUD reserves that remained undeveloped. These PUD reserves relate to approved long-term development plans, 175 MMboe of which are primarily associated with international locationsdevelopment projects with physical limitations in existing gas processing capacity and 66 MMboe of which are related to approved long-term development plans for Permian EOR projects, also with physical limitations in existing gas processing capacity. Occidental remains committed to these projects and continues to actively progress the development of these volumes. In addition to the above, Occidental has 57 MMboe of PUD reserves that are scheduled to be developed more than five years from their initial date of booking. These PUD reserves are related to approved long-term development plans, 41 MMboe of which are associated with approved long-term international development projects and 16 MMboe with the Gulf of Mexico projects.
RESERVES EVALUATION AND REVIEW PROCESS
Occidental’s estimates of proved reserves and associated future net cash flows as of December 31, 2019,2022, were made by Occidental’s technical personnel and are the responsibility of management. The estimation of proved reserves is based on the requirement of reasonable certainty of economic producibility and funding commitments by Occidental to develop the reserves. This process involves reservoir engineers, geoscientists, planning engineers and financial analysts. As part of the proved reserves estimation process, all reserve volumes are estimated by a forecast of production rates, operating costs and capital expenditures. Price differentials between benchmark prices (the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the year) and realized prices and specifics of each operating agreement are then used to estimate the net reserves. Production rate forecasts are derived by a number of methods, including estimates from decline curve analysis, type curvewell profile analysis, computer simulation of the reservoir performance, volumetric analysis and material balance calculations that take into account the volumes of substances replacing the volumes produced and associated reservoir pressure changes supported by various technologies including seismic analysis and computer simulation of the reservoir performance.analysis. These reliable field-tested technologies have demonstrated reasonably certain results with consistency and repeatability in the formation being evaluated or in an analogous formation. Operating and capital costs are forecast using the current cost environment applied to expectations of future operating and development activities.
Net proved developed reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods for which the incremental cost of any additional required investment is relatively minor.
Net proved undevelopedPUD reserves are those volumes that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Proved undevelopedPUD reserves are supported by a five-year, detailed, field-level development plan, which includes the timing, location and capital commitment of the wells to be drilled. The development plan is reviewed and approved annually by senior management and technical personnel. Annually, a detailed review is performed by Occidental’s WorldwideCorporate Reserves Group and its technical personnel on a lease-by-lease basis to assess whether proved undevelopedPUD reserves are being converted on a timely basis within five years from the initial disclosure date. Any leases not showing timely transfers from proved undevelopedPUD reserves to proved developed reserves are reviewed by senior management to determine if the remaining reserves will be developed in a timely manner and have sufficient capital committed in the development plan. Only proved undevelopedPUD reserves that are reasonably certain to be drilled within five years of booking and are supported by a final investment decision to drill them are included in the development plan. A portion of the proved undevelopedPUD reserves associated with international operations are expected to be developed beyond the five years and are tied to approved long-term development plans.

Occidental has a Corporate Reserves Review Committee, (Reserves Committee), consisting of senior corporate officers, to review and approve Occidental’s oil and gas reserves. The Reserves Committee reports to the Audit Committee of Occidental’s Board of Directors during the year. Since 2003, Occidental has retained Ryder Scott, Company, L.P. (Ryder Scott), independent petroleum engineering consultants, to review its annual oil and gas reserve estimation processes. In addition, Occidental utilized Miller and Lents, Ltd. (M&L), independent petroleum engineering consultants who were previously retained by Anadarko, to review the annual oil and gas reserve estimation processes associated with the Anadarko reserves. For additional reserves information, see Supplemental Oil and Gas Information under Item 8 of this Form 10-K. In 2019, both2022, Ryder Scott and M&L conducted a process review of the methods and analytical procedures utilized by Occidental’s engineering and geological staff for estimating the proved reserves volumes, preparing the economic evaluations and determining the reserves classifications as of December 31, 2019,2022, in accordance with SEC regulatory standards. Ryder Scott and M&L reviewed the specific application of such methods and procedures for selected oil and gas properties considered to be a valid representation of Occidental’s 20192022 year-end total proved reserves portfolio. In 2019,2022, Ryder Scott reviewed approximately 20%42% of legacy Occidental’s proved oil and gas reserves. Since being engaged in 2003, Ryder Scott has reviewed the specific application of Occidental’s reserve estimation methods and procedures for approximately 80%92% of legacy Occidental’s existing proved oil and gas reserves. M&L reviewed approximately 90% of the Anadarko proved oil and gas reserves.
Management retained Ryder Scott and M&L to provide objective third-party input on its methods and procedures and to gather industry information applicable to Occidental’s reserve estimation and reporting process. Neither Ryder Scott nor M&L has not been engaged to render an opinion as to the reasonableness of reserves quantities reported by Occidental. Occidental has filed Ryder Scott’s and M&L’s independent reportsreport as exhibitsan exhibit to this Form 10-K.
Based on its reviews, including the data, technical processes and interpretations presented by Occidental, Ryder Scott and M&L havehas concluded that the overall procedures and methodologies Occidental utilized in estimating the proved reserves volumes, documenting the changes in reserves from prior estimates, preparing the economic evaluations and determining the reserves classifications for the reviewed properties are appropriate for the purpose thereof and comply with current SEC regulations.
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
The petroleumoil and gas exploration and production industry is highly competitive, andis subject to significant volatility due to various market conditions.conditions and operations are highly dependent on oil prices and, to a lesser extent, NGL and natural gas prices. Oil prices increased significantly in 2022. During 2022, as compared to 2021, the average annual $/Bbl of WTI crude increased to $94.23 from $67.91 and the average annual Brent oil price indexes increased throughout 2019 closing at $61.06 per barrel and $66.00 per barrel, respectively, as of December 31, 2019.increased to $98.83 from $70.78.
Oil prices will continue to be affected by: (i) global supply and demand, which are generally a function of global economic conditions, inventory levels, production or supply chain disruptions, technological advances, regional market conditions and the actions of OPEC, other significant producers and governments; (ii) transportation capacity, infrastructure constraints, and costs in producing areas; (iii) currency exchange rates and inflation rates; and (iv) the effect of changes in these variables on market perceptions. The ongoing global impact of the Russia-Ukraine war and whether the oil industry will be able to sustain a continued supply response have resulted in an increase in benchmark oil prices year-over-year. Occidental does not operate or own assets in either Russia or Ukraine. It is expected that the price of oil will be volatile for the foreseeable future given the current geopolitical risks, the ongoing global impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, the evolving macro-economic environment and supply activity (as a result of COVID-19) from OPEC and non-OPEC oil producing countries and the Biden Administration’s releases from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
NGL prices are related to the supply and demand for the components of products making up these liquids. Some of them more typically correlate to the price of oil while others are affected by natural gas prices as well as the demand for certain chemical products for which they are used as feedstock. In addition, infrastructure constraints magnify the pricing volatility from region to region.
Domestic natural gas prices and local differentials are strongly affected by local supply and demand fundamentals, as well as government regulations, global LNG demand and availability of transportation capacity from producing areas.
We expect that oil prices in the near term will continue to be influenced by the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting impact on oil and gas supply and demand.
These and other factors make it difficult to predict the future direction of oil, NGL and domestic gas prices reliably. For purposes of the current capital plan, Occidental will continue to focus on allocating capital to its highest-returnhigh return assets with the flexibility to adjust based on fluctuations in commodity prices. International gas prices are generally fixed under long-term contracts. Occidental continues to adjust capital expenditures in line with current economic conditions, such as supply chain constraints, rising interest rates, global logistics and high inflation, which has continued to disrupt global supply and demand balances, with the goal of keeping returns well above its cost of capital.

MARKETING AND MIDSTREAM SEGMENT |
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The marketingmidstream and midstreammarketing segment strives to maximize realized value by optimizing the use of its gathering, processing, transportation, storage and terminal commitments and by providing the oil and gas segment access to domestic and international markets. To generate returns, the segment evaluates opportunities across the value chain and uses its assets to provide services to Occidental’s subsidiaries, as well as third parties. The marketingmidstream and midstreammarketing segment operates or contracts for services on gathering systems, gas plants, co-generation facilities and storage facilities and invests in entities that conduct similar activities. From August 8, 2019, to December 31, 2019, WES’s operating results were consolidated in the marketing and midstream segment. As of December 31, 2019, Occidental will account for its ownership investment in WES under the equity method of accounting. See Note 16 - Investments and Related-Party Transactions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Also within the marketing and midstream segment is OLCV. OLCV seeks to capitalize on Occidental’s EOR leadership by developing carbon capture, utilization and storage projects that source anthropogenic CO2 and promote innovative technologies that drive cost efficiencies and economically grow Occidental’s business while reducing emissions.
This segment also seeks to minimize the costs of gas power and other commoditiespower used in Occidental’s various businesses. Capital is employed to sustain or expand assets to improve the competitiveness of Occidental’s businesses. In 2019,2022, capital expenditures related to the marketingmidstream and midstreammarketing segment totaled $461 million (including $365 million related$268 million.
Also included in the midstream and marketing segment is OLCV. OLCV seeks to WES).leverage Occidental’s carbon management expertise through the development of CCUS projects, and invests in emerging low-carbon technologies that are expected to reduce our carbon footprint and enable others to do the same.
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
MarketingMidstream and midstreammarketing segment earnings are affected by the performance of its various businesses, including its marketing, gathering and transportation, gas processing and power-generation assets. The marketing business aggregates, markets and stores Occidental and third-party volumes. Marketing performance is affected primarily by commodity price changes and margins in oil and gas transportation and storage programs. The marketing business results can experience significant volatility depending on commodity prices and the Midland-to-Gulf-Coast oil spreads. The Midland-to-Gulf-Coast oil spreads have decreased from an average of $0.48 per barrel in 2021 to $0.36 per barrel for the year ended December 31, 2022. A $0.25 change in the Midland-to-Gulf-Coast oil spreads impacts total year operating cash flows by approximately $65 million. Gas gathering, processing and transportation results are affected by fluctuations in commodity prices and the volumes that are processed and transported through the segment’s plants, as well as the margins obtained on related services from investments in which Occidental has an equity interest.
BUSINESS REVIEW
MARKETING
The marketing group markets substantially all of Occidental’s oil, NGL and natural gas production and optimizes its transportation and storage capacity. Occidental’s third-party marketing activities focus on purchasing oil, NGL and natural gas for resale from parties whose oil and gas supply is located near its transportation and storage capacity. These purchases allow Occidental to aggregate volumes to better utilize and optimize its assets. In 2022, compared to the prior year, marketing results were impacted by the timing of crude oil sales, partially offset by higher gas marketing margin from transportation capacity optimization.
DELIVERY AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITMENTS
Occidental has made long-term commitments to certain refineries and other buyers to deliver oil, NGL and natural gas. The total amount contracted to be delivered is approximately 80 MMbbl of oil through 2025, 567 MMbbl of NGL through 2029 and 845 Bcf of gas through 2029. The price for these deliveries is set at the time of delivery of the product.
Occidental has crude pipeline take-or-pay capacity of approximately 850 Mbbl/d to the Gulf Coast, leased crude storage capacity of approximately 10 MMbbl and capacity at the crude terminal of approximately 525 Mbbl/d. Certain of Occidental’s crude pipeline take-or-pay agreements expire in 2025 and take-or-pay commitments will reduce by two thirds by 2027.
PIPELINE
Occidental’s pipeline business mainly consists of its 24.5% ownership interest in DEL. DEL owns and operates a 230-mile-long, 48-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline, known as the Dolphin Pipeline, which transports dry natural gas from Qatar to the UAE and Oman. The Dolphin Pipeline has capacity to transport up to 3.2 Bcf/d and currently transports approximately 2.0 Bcf/d and up to 2.2 Bcf/d in the summer months.
GAS PROCESSING, GATHERING AND CO2
Occidental processes its own and third-party domestic wet gas to extract NGL and other gas byproducts, including CO2 and delivers dry gas to pipelines. Margins primarily result from the difference between inlet costs of wet gas and market prices for NGL.
As of December 31, 2022, Occidental owned all of the 2.3% non-voting general partner interest and 49.5% of the limited partner units in WES. On a combined basis, with its 2% non-voting limited partner interest in WES Operating, Occidental's total effective economic interest in WES and its subsidiaries was 51.7%.

| | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
Occidental’s equity method investment in WES. WES owns gathering systems, plants and pipelines and earns revenue from fee-based and service-based contracts with Occidental and third parties.
Occidental’s 40% participating interest in Al Hosn Gas also includes sour gas processing facilities that are designed to process 1.33 Bcf/d of natural gas and separate it into salable gas, condensate, NGL and sulfur. In 2022, the project produced 568 MMcf/d of natural gas, 88 Mbbl/d of NGL and condensate, and 10,700 tons/d of sulfur, of which Occidental’s net share was 227 MMcf/d of natural gas, 35 Mbbl/d of NGL and condensate and 4,280 tons/d of sulfur.
In 2022, compared to the prior year, gas processing, gathering and CO2 results increased primarily due to higher sulfur and NGL prices.
POWER GENERATION FACILITIES
Earnings from power and steam generation facilities are derived from sales to affiliates and third parties.
LOW-CARBON VENTURES
OLCV was formed to execute on Occidental’s vision to reduce global emissions and provide a more sustainable future through the development of low-carbon energy and products. OLCV capitalizes on Occidental’s extensive experience in utilizing CO2 in its development of CCUS projects and providing services to third parties to facilitate the implementation of their CCUS projects. Moreover, OLCV is fostering emerging technologies, including DAC and low-carbon power sources, and other business models with the potential to position Occidental as a leader in the production of low-carbon energy and products.
Occidental has developed standards and protocols recognized by the EPA for monitoring, reporting and verifying the amount, safety and permanence of CO2 stored through secure geologic sequestration. Occidental holds the nation’s first two EPA-approved monitoring, reporting and verification plans for geologic sequestration through EOR production and obtained a third monitoring, reporting and verification plan in 2021. In 2022, OLCV acquired approximately three hundred thousand acres of pore space. In 2022, Occidental also commenced EPA Class 6 permitting with the intention of developing five sequestration hubs.
OLCV commenced construction on the world’s largest DAC facility in 2022, which is expected to be online in 2025. OLCV is also currently conducting front-end engineering design work and feasibility studies on a number of projects to capture and sequester CO2, either from the atmosphere or from industrial point sources. In 2023, OLCV plans to invest between $100 million and $500 million, dependent upon potential partner participation, to pursue various projects.
The profitability of sequestration projects is dependent upon the costs of developing, building and operating sequestration infrastructure, demand for sequestration services from emitters and the availability of certain tax attributes and credits generated from the capture and storage of CO2.
In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act that contains, among other provisions, certain tax incentives related to climate change and clean energy. These incentives may attract more third-party investment of OLCV’s projects which may help accelerate certain projects. The ultimate impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on Occidental’s emerging low-carbon businesses and net-zero pathway will depend on a number of factors, interpretations and assumptions as well as additional regulatory guidance.
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Midstream and marketing segment results can experience volatility depending on commodity price changes, demand impacting export sales and the Midland to Gulf Coast spreads. In 2019, the Permian takeaway capacity increased as several new third-party pipelines were completed, which in turn reduced the Midland to Gulf CoastMidland-to-Gulf-Coast oil spreads. Gas gathering, processing and transportation results are affected by fluctuations in commodity prices and the volumes that are processed and transported through the segment’s plants, as well as the margins obtained on related services from investments in which Occidental has an equity interest. The 2019 declines
Throughout 2022, the U.S. experienced economy-wide cost increases, which could increase the cost of sequestration projects. Occidental saw increased interest from third parties in NGL pricesproviding sequestration services during the year. Additionally, grants, credits and sulfur prices negatively impactedother tax-advantaged low-carbon attributes continue to be actively discussed at both state and federal levels. These trends are expected to continue, which Occidental believes will enhance the gas processing business.economics of sequestration projects.
BUSINESS REVIEW
MARKETING
The marketing group markets substantially all of Occidental’s oil, NGL and natural gas production, as well as trades around its assets, including contracted transportation and storage capacity. Occidental’s third-party marketing activities focus on purchasing oil, NGL and gas for resale from parties whose oil and gas supply is located near its transportation and storage assets. These purchases allow Occidental to aggregate volumes to better utilize and optimize its assets. In 2019, compared to the prior year, marketing results were negatively impacted by the decline in the Midland-to-Gulf Coast spreads, as well as non-cash mark-to-market losses.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | |
PIPELINE
Occidental’s pipeline business mainly consists of its 24.5% ownership interest in Dolphin Energy. Dolphin Energy owns and operates a 230-mile-long, 48-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline (Dolphin Pipeline), which transports dry natural gas from Qatar to the UAE and Oman. The Dolphin Pipeline has capacity to transport up to 3.2 Bcf of natural gas per day and currently transports approximately 2.2 Bcf per day, and up to 2.5 Bcf per day in the summer months.
In 2019, compared to the prior year, pipeline income declined due to the 2018 sale of the Centurion Pipeline common carrier oil pipeline and storage system and the Ingleside Crude Terminal.
GAS PROCESSING, GATHERING AND CO2
Occidental processes its and third-party domestic wet gas to extract NGL and other gas byproducts, including CO2, and delivers dry gas to pipelines. Margins primarily result from the difference between inlet costs of wet gas and market prices for NGL.
As of December 31, 2019, Occidental has 54.5% of limited partner unit interest and a 2% non-voting general partner unit interest in WES. In addition, Occidental has a 2% non-voting limited partner interest in Western Midstream Operating, LP, a consolidated subsidiary of WES. Prior to December 31, 2019 Occidental consolidated WES. As of December 31, 2019, Occidental recognizes WES as an equity method investment. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. WES owns gathering systems, plants and pipelines and earns revenue from fee-based and service-based contracts with Occidental and third parties.Occidental also has a 40% participating interest in Al Hosn Gas which is designed to process 1.3 Bcf per day of natural gas and separate it into salable gas, condensate, NGL and sulfur. In 2019, the facilities produced approximately 11,500 metric tons per day of sulfur, of which approximately 4,600 metric tons was Occidental’s share. Al Hosn Gas facilities generate revenues from gas processing fees and the sale of sulfur.
In 2019, compared to the prior year, gas processing, gathering and CO2 results increased primarily due to income from WES partially offset by lower NGL prices and sulfur prices which negatively impacted the gas processing business.
POWER GENERATION FACILITIES
Earnings from power and steam generation facilities are derived from sales to affiliates and third parties.
LOW CARBON VENTURES
OLCV was formed to execute on Occidental’s vision to reduce global emissions and provide a more sustainable future through low carbon energy and products. OLCV capitalizes on Occidental’s extensive experience in utilizing CO2 for EOR by investing in technologies, developing projects and providing services to facilitate and accelerate the implementation of carbon capture, utilization and storage projects and opportunities for zero-carbon power. Moreover, OLCV is fostering new technologies and business models with the potential to position Occidental as a leader in the production of low-carbon oil and products.
INDUSTRY OUTLOOK
Marketing and midstream segment results can experience volatility depending on the Midland to Gulf Coast spreads and commodity price changes. The decline in the Midland to Gulf Coast spreads in the second half of 2019 has continued into the early part of 2020. If the spread remains at current levels or are lower for the rest of 2020, this could significantly reduce margins in the marketing business. To a lesser extent, declines in commodity prices, including NGL and sulfur prices, would reduce the results for the gas processing business.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | |
International oil and gas results, excluding significant items affecting comparability, decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to lower volumes from the expiration of the ISND contract and early termination of the ISSD contract as well as a decrease in realized oil prices in Latin America and the Middle East. International oil and gas results, excluding significant items affecting comparability, increased in 20182022 compared to 20172021 primarily due to higher oil prices.

Average daily production volumes from ongoing operations remained materially consistent in 2022 as compared to 2021. Production increased in 2019 compared to 2018 primarilythe Permian Basin due to 264 MBOE/dincreased development activity, which was partially offset by a decrease in acquired production, fromespecially natural gas, in the Acquisition, including 120 MBOE/d in DJ Basin 58 MBOE/d inreflecting reduced capital investment and the Gulfimpact of Mexico and 63 MBOE/d in the Delaware Basin, as well as an increaserising commodity prices that reduce Occidental's share of 78 MBOE/d in the legacy Occidental Permian Resources operations as a result of increased drilling and well productivity.production under international production sharing contracts.
Average daily production volumes from ongoing operations increased in 2018 compared to 2017 primarily due to higher Permian Resources production which increased by 52% from the prior year, due to developmental drilling activity and improved well performance.

Chemical segment results decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 due to lower realized caustic soda prices and lower domestic demand across many product lines partially offset by favorable feedstock costs. The 2019 earnings also reflected fees received under a pipeline easement agreement that was executed during the first quarter of 2019.
Chemical segment results increased in 20182022 compared to 20172021 due to significant improvements inimproved demand and stronger realized prices across most product lines, including caustic soda, pricing, strong margins and demand across many product lines and lower ethylene costs, slightlypartially offset by decreased caustic soda export volumes.

Occidental expects to realize the recorded deferred tax assets, net of any allowances, are expected to be realized through future operating income and reversal of temporary differences. The total deferred tax liabilities were $7.7 billion and $10.5 billion as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in net deferred tax liability in 2022 compared to 2021 was primarily driven by the legal entity reorganization that Occidental undertook in the first quarter of 2022.

In 2019,2022, Occidental’s worldwide effective tax rate was 373%6%, which was impacted by a tax benefit associated with Occidental's legal entity reorganization, as further described below.
In 2021, Occidental’s worldwide effective tax rate was 25%, which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due to higher tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which Occidental operates, partially offset by the tax impact of business credits, state tax revaluations and other domestic tax benefits.
In 2020, Occidental’s worldwide effective tax rate was 14%, which was largely a result of Acquisition-related coststhe impairment of the WES goodwill and charges associated with the loss of control of WEScertain international assets for which Occidental received no tax benefit. Excludingbenefit and higher-taxed international operations which generally caused Occidental’s tax rate to vary significantly from the U.S. corporate tax rate.
LEGAL ENTITY REORGANIZATION
To align Occidental’s legal entity structure with the nature of its business activities after completing the Anadarko Acquisition and subsequent large scale post-acquisition divestiture program, management undertook a legal entity reorganization that was completed in the first quarter of 2022.
As a result of this legal entity reorganization, management made an adjustment to the tax basis in a portion of its operating assets, thus reducing Occidental’s deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, in 2022, Occidental recorded a tax benefit of $2.7 billion in connection with this reorganization. The timing of any reduction in Occidental’s future cash taxes as a result of this legal entity reorganization will be dependent on a number of factors, including prevailing commodity prices, capital activity level and production mix. The legal entity reorganization transaction is currently under IRS review as part of the Company’s 2022 federal tax audit.
INFLATION REDUCTION ACT
In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act that contains, among other provisions, a corporate book minimum tax on financial statement income, an excise tax on stock buybacks, a methane emissions fee and certain tax incentives related to climate change and clean energy. Occidental is currently evaluating the provisions of this act. The ultimate impact of items affecting comparability, Occidental’s worldwide effective tax rate for 2019 wouldthe act is yet to be 36%.determined and will depend on additional regulatory guidance and interpretations.
The increase in worldwide effective tax rate from 2017 to 2018 was primarily due to the 2017 remeasurement of net deferred tax liabilities to the new federal corporate income tax rate.

On June 3, 2019, Occidental entered into an amendment to its existing $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (Occidental RCF) pursuant to which, among other things, the commitments under the Occidental RCF were increased to $5.0 billion at the closing of the Acquisition. Borrowings under the Occidental RCF bear interest at various benchmark rates, including London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin based on Occidental’s senior debt-ratings. The facility has similar terms to other debt agreements and does not contain material adverse change clauses or debt ratings triggers that could restrict Occidental’s ability to borrow, or that would permit lenders to terminate their commitments or accelerate debt repayment. The facility provides for the termination of loan commitments and requires immediate repayment of any outstanding amounts if certain events of default occur. Occidental has not drawn down any amounts under the Occidental RCF.non-cancellable commitments.

These agreements consist primarily of obligations to secure terminal, pipeline and processing capacity, purchase services used in the normal course of business including transporting and disposing of produced water, purchase goods used in the production of finished goods including certain chemical raw materials and power and agreements relating to equipment maintenance and service. The amounts that will be paid for additional unsecured borrowings,such outstanding off-balance sheet purchase obligations as of December 31, 2022 are $3.0 billion in 2023, $4.2 billion in 2024 and 2025, $2.5 billion in 2026 and 2027 and $2.2 billion in 2028 and thereafter.

Cash provided by operating activities increased in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to higher commodity prices, as average WTI and Brent prices increased by 39% and 40%, respectively and NYMEX natural gas prices increased by 76%. The chemical segment also are involved in proceedings under Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties and injunctive relief. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and have to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. Further, some lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third party or Occidental retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Occidental accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for matters, other than for environmental remediation, that satisfy this criteria as of December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, were not material to Occidental’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On May 30, 2019, a complaint was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware by purported Occidental stockholders High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP and Icahn Partners LP (the “Icahn Complainants”), captioned High River Ltd. P’ship v. Occidental Petroleum Corp., C.A. No. 2019-0403-JRS, seeking inspection of Occidental’s books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the complaint, the Icahn Complainants noted that they had accumulated over $1.6 billion of Occidental Common Stock. On June 14, 2019, Occidental filed an answer to the complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. A trial was held on September 20, 2019, and the court dismissed the Icahn Complaint. The Icahn Complainants appealed and oral arguments occurred in February 2020.
In 2016, Occidental received payments from the Republic of Ecuador of approximately $1.0 billion pursuant to a November 2015 arbitration award for Ecuador’s 2006 expropriation of Occidental’s Participation Contract for Block 15. The awarded amount represented a recovery of 60% of the value of Block 15. In 2017, Andes Petroleum Ecuador Ltd. (Andes) filed a demand for arbitration, claiming it is entitled to a 40% share of the judgment amount obtained by Occidental. Occidental contends that Andes is not entitled to any of the amounts paid under the 2015 arbitration award because Occidental’s recovery was limited to Occidental’s own 60% economic interest in the block. The merits hearing is scheduled for May 2020. Occidental intends to vigorously defend against this claim in arbitration.
The ultimate outcome and impact of outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings on Occidental cannot be predicted. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. If unfavorable outcomes of these matters were to occur, future results of operations orgenerated substantial operating cash flows largely due to higher prices for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Occidental’s estimates are based on information known about the legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Occidental reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.most chemical products, especially caustic soda, compared to 2021.
TAX MATTERSDuring the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. Taxable years through 2016 for U.S. federal income tax purposes have been audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program and subsequent taxable years are currently under review. Taxable years through 2009 have been audited for state income tax purposes. While a single foreign tax jurisdiction is open for 2002, all other significant audit matters in foreign jurisdictions have been resolved through 2010. During the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law. Occidental believes that the resolution of outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
For Anadarko, its taxable years through 2016 for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes have been audited by the IRS and respective state taxing authorities. There are outstanding significant audit matters in one foreign jurisdiction. During the course of the tax audit, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law. Other than the matter discussed below, Occidental believes that the resolution of these outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Anadarko received an $881 million tentative refund in 2016 related to its $5.2 billion Tronox settlement payment in 2015. In September 2018, Anadarko received a statutory notice of deficiency from the IRS disallowing the net operating loss carryback and rejecting Anadarko’s refund claim. As a result, Anadarko filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court to dispute the disallowances in November 2018. The case is currently in the IRS appeals process. If the matter is not resolved in the IRS appeals process, Occidental expects to continue pursuing resolution in the U.S. Tax Court.
While Occidental believes it is entitled to this refund, in accordance with ASC 740’s guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions, as of December 31, 2019, Occidental has recorded no tax benefit on the tentative cash tax refund of

Cash flows used by investing activities increased by $3.6 billion in 2022 compared to 2021. In 2022, Occidental increased capital spending as a result of increased activity in the Permian. Occidental acquired additional primarily producing assets in the Permian Basin for approximately $400 million and additional interests in emerging low-carbon businesses and net-zero pathway for approximately $350 million. Occidental sold certain strategic assets in the Permian Basin for approximately $190 million. See Note 5 - Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Transactions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II Item 8 of this Form 10-K for a listing of assets and equity investments acquired and sold in 2022, 2021 and 2020.

$881 million. As a result, should Occidental not ultimately prevail on the issue, there would be no additional tax expense recorded for financial statement purposes other than future interest. However, in that event Occidental would be required to repay approximately $925 million ($898 million federal and $27 million in state taxes) plus accrued interest of approximately $189 million. As a result, a liability for this amount has been recorded in deferred credits and other liabilities - other at December 31, 2019.
INDEMNITIES TO THIRD PARTIES
Occidental, its subsidiaries, or both, have indemnified various parties against specified liabilities those parties might incur in the future in connection with purchases and other transactions that they have entered into with Occidental. These indemnities usually are contingent upon the other party incurring liabilities that reach specified thresholds. As of December 31, 2019, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to indemnity claims that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES |
Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, local and international laws and regulations related to improving or maintaining environmental quality. The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and international laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. OPC or certain of its subsidiaries participate in or actively monitor a range of remedial activities and government or private proceedings under these laws with respect to alleged past practices at operating, closed and third-party sites. Remedial activities may include one or more of the following: investigation involving sampling, modeling, risk assessment or monitoring; cleanup measures including removal, treatment or disposal; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. The environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
As of December 31, 2019, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 177 sites, which included 36 sites assumed through the Acquisition. The following table presents Occidental’s current and non-current environmental remediation liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($162 million in 2019 and $120 million in 2018) and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities - environmental remediation liabilities ($1.04 billion in 2019 and $762 million in 2018). Occidental continues to evaluate the remediation obligations assumed through the Acquisition.
Occidental’s environmental remediation sites are grouped into four categories: National Priorities List (NPL) sites listed or proposed for listing by the EPA on the CERCLA NPL and three categories of non-NPL sites — third-party sites, Occidental-operated sites and closed or non-operated Occidental sites.

As of December 31, 2019, Occidental’s environmental remediation liabilities exceeded $10 million each at 20 of the 177 sites described above, and 101 of the sites had liabilities from $0 to $1 million each. As of December 31, 2019, three sites — the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site and a former chemical plant in Ohio (both of which are indemnified by Maxus Energy Corporation, as discussed further below) and a landfill in Western New York — accounted for 94 percent of its liabilities associated with NPL sites. Seventeen of the 36 NPL sites are indemnified by Maxus.
Six of the 74 third-party sites — a Maxus-indemnified chrome site in New Jersey, a former copper mining and smelting operation in Tennessee, a former oil field, a landfill and a chemical plant in California, and an active refinery in Louisiana where Occidental reimburses the current owner for certain remediation activities — accounted for 75 percent of Occidental’s liabilities associated with these sites. Nine of the 74 third-party sites are indemnified by Maxus.
Five sites — oil and gas operations in Colorado and chemical plants in Kansas, Louisiana, New York and Texas — accounted for 67 percent of the liabilities associated with the Occidental-operated sites.

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSIONENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND ANALYSIS | EXPENDITURES |
Six other sites — a landfill in Western New York, a former refinery in Oklahoma, former chemical plants in California, Tennessee and Washington, and a closed coal mine in Pennsylvania — accounted for 64 percent of the liabilities associated with closed or non-operated Occidental sites.
Environmental remediation liabilities vary over time depending on factors such as acquisitions or dispositions, identification of additional sites and remedy selection and implementation. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately 40 percent of the year end remediation balance over the next three to four years with the remainder over the subsequent 10 or more years. Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those amounts currently recorded for environmental remediation for all of its environmental sites could be up to $1.1 billion.
MAXUS ENVIRONMENTAL SITES
When Occidental acquired Diamond Shamrock Chemicals Company (DSCC) in 1986, Maxus, a subsidiary of YPF S.A. (YPF), agreed to indemnify Occidental for a number of environmental sites, including the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site (Site) along a portion of the Passaic River. On June 17, 2016, Maxus and several affiliated companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Federal District Court in the State of Delaware. Prior to filing for bankruptcy, Maxus defended and indemnified Occidental in connection with clean-up and other costs associated with the sites subject to the indemnity, including the Site.
In March 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) specifying remedial actions required for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River. The ROD does not address any potential remedial action for the upper nine miles of the Lower Passaic River or Newark Bay. During the third quarter of 2016, and following Maxus’s bankruptcy filing, Occidental and the EPA entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to complete the design of the proposed clean-up plan outlined in the ROD at an estimated cost of $165 million. The EPA announced that it will pursue similar agreements with other potentially responsible parties.
Occidental has accrued a remediation liability relating to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the design and the remediation called for in the AOC and the ROD, as well as for certain other Maxus-indemnified sites. Occidental’s accrued estimated environmental remediation liability does not consider any recoveries for indemnified costs. Occidental’s ultimate share of the estimated costs may be higher or lower than its accrued remediation liability, and is subject to final design plans and the resolution with other potentially responsible parties. Occidental continues to evaluate the costs to be incurred to comply with the AOC, the ROD and to perform remediation at other Maxus-indemnified sites in light of the Maxus bankruptcy and the share of ultimate liability of other potentially responsible parties. In June 2018, Occidental filed a complaint under CERCLA in Federal District Court in the State of New Jersey against numerous potentially responsible parties for reimbursement of amounts incurred or to be incurred to comply with the AOC, the ROD or to perform other remediation activities at the Site.
In June 2017, the court overseeing the Maxus bankruptcy approved a Plan of Liquidation (Plan) to liquidate Maxus and create a trust to pursue claims against YPF, Repsol and others to satisfy claims by Occidental and other creditors for past and future cleanup and other costs. In July 2017, the court-approved Plan became final and the trust became effective. Among other responsibilities, the trust will pursue claims against YPF, Repsol and others and distribute assets to Maxus’ creditors in accordance with the trust agreement and Plan. In June 2018, the trust filed its complaint against YPF and Repsol in Delaware bankruptcy court asserting claims based upon, among other things, fraudulent transfer and alter ego. On February 15, 2019, the bankruptcy court denied Repsol’s and YPF’s motions to dismiss the complaint.
ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
Environmental costs relate to the prevention, monitoring, control, treatment or abatement of waste, emissions or releases to air, water or land from operations of Occidental’s subsidiaries. These activities are generally integrated with ongoing operations or development projects, so the costs in this table include estimates. The environmental costs in the table do not include litigation-related costs, including fines, penalties or settlements, or Occidental’s investments in low-carbon ventures. Occidental’s environmental costs some of which include estimates, are presented below for each segment for each of the years ended December 31:

| CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES |
The process of preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesUnited States GAAP requires Occidental’s management to make informed estimates and judgments regarding certain items and transactions. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates and judgments and actual results may differ from these estimates upon settlement but generally not by material amounts. The selection and development of these policies and estimates have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Occidental considers the following to be its most critical accounting policies and estimates that involve management’s judgment.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
The carrying value of Occidental’s property, plant, and equipment (PP&E)PP&E represents the cost incurred to acquire or develop the asset, including any asset retirement obligations (AROs)AROs and capitalized interest, net of DD&A and any impairment charges. For assets acquired in a business combination, PP&E cost is based on fair values at the acquisition date. Asset retirement obligationsAROs and interest costs incurred in connection with qualifying capital expenditures are capitalized and amortized over the useful lives of the related assets.
Occidental uses the successful efforts method to account for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, Occidental capitalizes costs of acquiring properties, costs of drilling successful exploration wells and development costs. The costs of exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending a determination of whether proved reserves have been found. If proved reserves have been found, the costs of exploratory wells remain capitalized. For exploratory wells that find reserves that cannot be classified as proved when drilling is completed, costs continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory drilling costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to justify completion as a producing well and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the economic and operating viability of the project. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory drilling costs in light of ongoing exploration activities and in particular, whether Occidental is making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts or, in the case of discoveries requiring government sanctioning, analyzing whether development negotiations are underway and proceeding as planned. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory well costs are expensed.
Occidental expenses annual lease rentals, the costs of injectants used in production and geological geophysical and seismicgeophysical costs as incurred.incurred for exploration activities.
Occidental determines depreciation and depletion of oil and gas producing properties by the unit-of-production method. It amortizes leasehold acquisition costs over total proved reserves and capitalized development and successful exploration costs over proved developed reserves.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether
|
| | |
| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | |
deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Occidental has no proved oil and gas reserves for which the determination of economic producibility is subject to the completion of major additional capital expenditures.
Several factors could change Occidental’s proved oil and gas reserves. For example, Occidental receives a share of production from PSCs to recover its costs and generally an additional share for profit. Occidental’s share of production and reserves from these contracts decreases when product prices rise and increases when prices decline. Overall,Generally, Occidental’s net economic benefit from these contracts is greater at higher product prices. In other cases, particularly with long-lived properties, lower product prices may lead to a situation where production of a portion of proved reserves becomes uneconomical. For such properties, higher product prices typically result in additional reserves becoming economical. Estimation of future production and development costs is also subject to change partially due to factors beyond Occidental’s control, such as energy costs and inflation or deflation of oil field service costs. These factors, in turn, could lead to changes in the quantity of proved reserves. Additional factors that could result in a change of proved reserves include production decline rates and operating performance differing from those estimated when the proved reserves were initially recorded. Changes in the political and regulatory climate could lead to decreases in proved reserves as development horizons may be extended into the future.
Additionally, Occidental performs impairment tests with respect to its proved properties whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of property may not be recoverable. If there is an indication the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered due to significant and prolonged declines in current and forward prices, significant changes in reserve estimates, changes in management’s plans or other significant events, management will evaluate the property for impairment. Under the successful efforts method, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the proved property, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair value and reported as an impairment charge in the period. Individual proved properties are grouped for impairment purposes at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows.flows unless observable and comparable transactions are available. The fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by market participants. The impairment test incorporates a number of assumptions involving expectations of future cash flows which can change significantly over time. These assumptions include estimates of future production, product prices, contractual prices, estimates of risk-adjusted oil and gas proved and unproved reserves and estimates of
| | | | | | | | |
| | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
future operating and development costs. It is reasonably possible that prolonged declines in commodity prices, reduced capital spending in response to lower prices or increases in operating costs could result in additional impairments.
For impairment testing, unless prices are contractually fixed, Occidental uses observable forward strip prices for oil and natural gas prices when projecting future cash flows. Future operating and development costs are estimated using the current cost environment applied to expectations of future operating and development activities to develop and produce oil and gas reserves. Market prices for oil, NGL and natural gas and NGL have been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. Changes in global supply and demand, transportation capacity, currency exchange rates, and applicable laws and regulations and the effect of changes in these variables on market perceptions could impact current forecasts. Future fluctuations in commodity prices could result in estimates of future cash flows to vary significantly.
The most significant ongoing financial statement effect from a change in Occidental’s oil and gas reserves or impairment of its proved properties would be to the DD&A rate. For example, a 5% increase or decrease in the amount of oil and gas reserves would change the DD&A rate by approximately $1.15 per barrel, which would increase or decrease pre-tax income by approximately $415 million annually at current production rates.
A portion of the carrying value of Occidental’s oil and gas properties is attributable to unproved properties. Net capitalized costs attributable to unproved properties were $29.5$12.6 billion atas of December 31, 2019,2022, and $1.0$14.8 billion atas of December 31, 2018. The 2019 amount is primarily related to the Acquisition.2021. The unproved amounts are not subject to DD&A until they are classified as proved properties. Individually insignificant unproved properties are combined and amortized on a group basis based on factors such as lease terms, success rates and other factors. If the exploration efforts are unsuccessful,factors to provide for full amortization upon lease expiration or management decides not to pursue development of theseabandonment.
Significant unproved properties, primarily as a result of lower commodity prices, higher developmentthe Anadarko Acquisition, are assessed individually for impairment and operating costs, contractual conditionswhen events or other factors,circumstances indicate that the capitalized costscarrying value of the related properties wouldproperty may not be expensed. The timing of any writedowns of these unproved properties,recovered a valuation allowance is provided if warranted, depends upon management’s plans, the nature, timing and extent of future exploration and development activities and their results.an impairment is indicated. Occidental periodically reviews significant unproved properties for impairments; numerous factors are considered, including but not limited to, availability of funds for future exploration and development activities, current exploration and development plans, favorable or unfavorable exploration activity on the property or the adjacent property, geologists’ evaluation of the property, and the remaining lease term for the property. Management’s assessment of the availability of funds for future activities and the current and projected political and regulatory climate, contractual conditions and the remaining lease term for the properties. If an impairment is indicated, Occidental will first determine whether a comparable transaction for similar properties or implied acreage valuation derived from domestic onshore market participants is available and will adjust the carrying amount of the unproved property to its fair value using the market approach. In situations where the market approach is not observable and unproved reserves are available, undiscounted future net cash flows used in areas in whichthe impairment analysis are determined based on managements’ risk adjusted estimates of unproved reserves, future commodity prices and future costs to produce the reserves. If undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the future net cash flows are discounted and compared to the carrying value for determining the amount of the impairment loss to record. Occidental operates also impactsutilizes the timing of any impairment.same assumptions and methodology discussed above for cash flows associated with proved properties.
PROVED RESERVES
Occidental estimates its proved oil and gas reserves according to the definition of proved reserves provided by the SECSEC’s Rule 4-10 (a) of Regulation S-X and FASB. This definition includesFinancial Accounting Standards Board. Proved oil naturaland gas reserves are those quantities of oil and NGLs that geologicalgas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, demonstratecan be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible in future periodsproducible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations, etc. (at prices and costs asregulations—prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the date the estimates are made).estimation. Prices include consideration of price changes provided only by contractual arrangements and do not include adjustments based on expected future conditions. For reserves information, see the Supplemental Information on Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Activities under Item 8 of this Form 10-K. Engineering estimates of the quantities of proved reserves are inherently imprecise and represent only approximate amounts because of the judgments involved in developing such information. Occidental’s estimates of proved reserves are made using available geological and reservoir data as well as production performance data. The reliability of these estimates at any point in time depends on both the quality and quantity of the technical and economic data and the efficiency of extracting
|

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | |
and processing the hydrocarbons. These estimates are reviewed annually by internal reservoir engineers and revised, either upward or downward, as warranted by additional data. Revisions are necessary due to changes in, among other things, development plans, reservoir performance, prices, economic conditions and governmental restrictions as well as changes in the expected recovery associated with infill drilling. Decreases in prices, for example, may cause a reduction in some proved reserves due to reaching economic limits at an earlier projected date. A material adverse change in the estimated volume of proved reserves could have a negative impact on DD&A and could result in property impairments.
The most significant ongoing financial statement effect from a change in Occidental’s oil and gas reserves or impairment of its proved properties would be to the DD&A rate. For example, a 5% increase or decrease in the amount of oil and gas reserves would change the DD&A rate by approximately $0.60/Bbl, which would increase or decrease pre-tax income by approximately $270 million annually at current production rates.
FAIR VALUES
Occidental estimates fair-value of long-lived assets for impairment testing, assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination or exchanged in non-monetary transactions, pension plan assets and initial measurements of AROs.
Accounting for the acquisition of a business requires the allocation of the purchase price to the various assets and liabilities of the acquired business and recording deferred taxes for any differences between the allocated values and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Any excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to assets and liabilities is
| | | | | | | | |
| | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
recorded as goodwill. The purchase price allocation is accomplished by recording each asset and liability at its estimated fair value.
value, which may be determined using different methods of fair value measurements, largely based on the availability and quality of market information. Occidental primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements, maximizes its use of observable inputs and minimizes its use of unobservable inputs. When estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, Occidental must apply various assumptions.
FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Occidental utilizes the mid-point between bid and askpublished prices or counterparty statements for valuing the majority of its financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. In addition to using market data, Occidental makes assumptions in valuing its assets and liabilities, including assumptions about the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. For financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value, Occidental measures fair value using the following methods:
Ø ■Occidental values exchange-cleared commodity derivatives using closing prices provided by the exchange as of the balance sheet date. These derivatives are classified as Level 1.using quoted prices in active markets for the assets or liabilities (Level 1).

■Occidental values debt using market-observable information for debt instruments that are traded on secondary markets. For debt instruments that are not traded, the fair value is determined by interpolating the value based on debt with similar terms and credit risk.
NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Occidental uses market-observable prices for assets when comparable transactions can be identified that are similar to the asset being valued. When Occidental is required to measure fair value and there is not a market-observable price for the asset or for a similar asset then the cost or income approach is used depending on the quality of information available to support management’s assumptions. The cost approach is based on management’s best estimate of the current asset replacement cost. The income approach is based on management’s best assumptions regarding expectations of future net cash flows and the expected cash flows are discounted using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate. Such evaluations involve significant judgment, and thejudgment. The results are based on expected future events or conditions such as sales prices, estimates of future oil and gas production or throughput, development and operating costs and the timing thereof, economic and regulatory climates and other factors, most of which are often outside of management’s control. However, assumptions used reflect a market participant’s view of long-term prices, costs and other factors and are consistent with assumptions used in the Company’sOccidental’s business plans and investment decisions.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES
EnvironmentalCertain subsidiaries of Occidental incur environmental liabilities and expenditures that relate to current operations and are expensed or capitalized by such subsidiaries as appropriate. Occidental recordsCertain subsidiaries also incur environmental liabilities and expenditures with respect to remediation of existing conditions from alleged past practices at Third-Party, Currently Operated, and Closed or Non-operated Sites. Those environmental liabilities and related charges and expenses for estimated remediation costs that relate to existing conditions from past operations are recorded when environmental remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Occidental discloses such remediation liabilities on a consolidated basis. In determining the environmental remediation liability and the range of reasonably possible additional losses, Occidental refers to currently available information, including relevant past experience, remedial objectives, available technologies, applicable laws and regulations and cost-sharing arrangements. Occidental bases itsThese environmental remediation liabilities are based on management’s estimate of the most likely cost to be incurred, using the most cost-effective technology reasonably

| MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS | |
expected to achieve the remedial objective. Occidental periodically reviews itsthese environmental remediation liabilities and adjusts them as new information becomes available. Occidental records environmental remediation liabilities on a discounted basis when it deems the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments to be reliably determinable at the time the reserves are established. The reserve methodology with respect to discounting for a specific site is not modified once it is established. Presently none of its environmental remediation liabilities are recorded on a discounted basis. OccidentalOccidental’s subsidiaries generally recordsrecord reimbursements or recoveries of environmental remediation costs in income when received, or when receipt of recovery is highly probable.
Many factors could affect Occidental’s future remediation costs incurred by Occidental’s subsidiaries and result in adjustments to its environmental remediation liabilities and the range of reasonably possible additional losses. The most significant are: (1) cost estimates for remedial activities may vary from the initial estimate; (2) the length of time, type or amount of remediation necessary to achieve the remedial objective may change due to factors such as site conditions, the ability to identify and
| | | | | | | | |
| | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS |
control contaminant sources or the discovery of additional contamination; (3) a regulatory agency may ultimately reject or modify Occidental’s proposed remedial plan;plans; (4) improved or alternative remediation technologies may change remediation costs; (5) laws and regulations may change remediation requirements or affect cost sharing or allocation of liability; and (6) changes in allocation or cost-sharing arrangements may occur.
Certain sites involve multiple parties with various cost-sharing arrangements, which generally fall into the following three categories: (1) environmental proceedings that result in a negotiated or prescribed allocation of remediation costs among Occidentalthe affected Occidental’s subsidiary and other alleged potentially responsible parties; (2) oil and gas ventures in which each participant pays its proportionate share of remediation costs reflecting its working interest; or (3) contractual arrangements, typically relating to purchases and sales of properties, in which the parties to the transaction agree to methods of allocating remediation costs. In these circumstances, Occidentalthe affected subsidiary evaluates the financial viability of other parties with whom it is alleged to be jointly liable, the degree of their commitment to participate and the consequences to Occidentalsuch subsidiary of their failure to participate when estimating Occidental’sits ultimate share of liability. Occidental records itssubsidiaries record environmental remediation liabilities at itstheir expected net cost of remedial activities and, basedactivities. Based on these factors, believesexcept as otherwise disclosed in Note 12 - Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II Item 8 of this Form 10-K, Occidental’s subsidiaries believe that itthey will not be required to assume a share of liability of such other potentially responsible parties in an amount materially above amounts reserved. In addition to the costs of investigations and cleanupclean-up measures, which often take in excess of 10 years at CERCLA NPL sites, Occidental’sOccidental subsidiaries’ environmental remediation liabilities include management’s estimates of the costs to operate and maintain remedial systems. If remedial systems are modified over time in response to significant changes in site-specific data, laws, regulations, technologies or engineering estimates, Occidental reviewsOccidental’s subsidiaries review and adjusts itsadjust their environmental remediation liabilities accordingly.
If Occidental or its subsidiaries were to adjust the balance of itstheir environmental remediation liabilities based on the factors described above, the amount of the increase or decrease would be recognized in earnings. For example, if the balance were reduced by 10%, Occidental would record a pre-tax gainincrease to income of $120$105 million. If the balance were increased by 10%, Occidental would record an additional remediation expense of $120$105 million.
INCOME TAXES
Occidental filesand its subsidiaries file various U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns. The impact of changes in tax regulations are reflected when enacted. In general, deferred federal, state and foreign income taxes are provided on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Occidental routinely assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. If Occidental concludes that it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. Occidental recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recorded is equal to the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized through final settlement with a taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense (benefit). Occidental uses the flow-through method to account for its investment tax credits. See Note 1210 - Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements in Part II Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
LOSS CONTINGENCIES
Occidental isor certain of its subsidiaries are involved, in the normal course of business, in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings and audits. Occidental or its affected subsidiaries, as appropriate, accrues reserves for these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. In addition, Occidental discloses, in aggregate itson a consolidated basis, exposure to loss in excess of the amount recorded on the balance sheet for these matters if it is reasonably possible that an additional material loss may be incurred. Occidental reviews itssuch loss contingencies on an ongoing basis.
Loss contingencies are based on judgments made by management with respect to the likely outcome of these matters and are adjusted as appropriate. Management’s judgments could change based on new information, changes in, or interpretations of, laws or regulations, changes in management’s plans or intentions, opinions regarding the outcome of legal proceedings or other factors. See “Lawsuits,Note 13 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.

ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
GENERAL
Occidental’s results are sensitive to fluctuations in oil, NGL and natural gas prices. Price changes at current global prices and levels of production affect Occidental’s budgeted 2023 pre-tax annual income by approximately $260$200 million for a $1 per barrel change in oil prices and $90approximately $30 million for a $1 per barrel change in NGL prices. If domestic natural gas prices varied by $0.50$0.10 per Mcf, it would have an estimated annual effect on Occidental’s budgeted 2023 pre-tax income of approximately $185$30 million. These price-change sensitivities include the impact of PSC and similar contract volume changes on income. If production levels change in the future, the sensitivity of Occidental’s results to prices also will change. Marketing results are sensitive to price changes of oil, natural gas and, to a lesser degree, other commodities. These sensitivities are additionally dependent on marketing volumes and cannot be predicted reliably.A $0.25 change in the Midland-to-Gulf-Coast oil spreads impacts budgeted 2023 operating cash flows by approximately $65 million.
Occidental’s results are also sensitive to fluctuations in chemical prices. A variation in chlorine and caustic soda prices of $10 per ton would have a pre-tax annual effect on income of approximately $10 million and $30 million, respectively. A variation in PVC prices of $0.01 per lb. would have a pre-tax annual effect on income of approximately $30 million. Historically, over time, product price changes have tracked raw material and feedstock product price changes, somewhat mitigating the effect of price changes on margins.
Occidental uses derivative instruments, including a combination of short-term futures, forwards, options and swaps, to obtain the average prices for the relevant production month and to improve realized prices for oil and gas.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Occidental conducts its risk management activities for marketing and trading under the controls and governance of its risk control policies. The controls under these policies are implemented and enforced by a risk management group which monitors risk by providing an independent and separate evaluation and check. Members of the risk management group report to the Corporate Vice President and Treasurer. Controls for these activities include limits on value at risk, limits on credit, limits on total notional trade value, segregation of duties, delegation of authority, daily price verifications, reporting to senior management on various risk measures and a number of other policy and procedural controls.
FAIR VALUE OF MARKETING DERIVATIVE CONTRACTS
Occidental carries derivative contracts it enters into in connection with its marketing activities at fair value. Fair values for these contracts are derived from Level 1 and Level 2 sources. The fair values in future maturity periods are insignificant.
The following table shows the fair value of Occidental’s derivatives (excluding collateral), segregated by maturity periods and by methodology of fair value estimation:

| QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES | |
CASH-FLOW HEDGES
Occidental’s marketing operations, from time to time, store natural gas purchased from third parties at Occidental’s North American leased storage facilities. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, Occidental had approximately 6 Bcf and 5 Bcf of natural gas held in storage, respectively, and had cash-flow hedges for the forecast sales, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 3 Bcf and 4 Bcf of stored natural gas, respectively.
QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION
Occidental uses value at risk to estimate the potential effects of changes in fair values of commodity contracts used in trading activities. This measure determines the maximum potential negative one day change in fair value with a 95% level of confidence. Additionally, Occidental uses complementary trading limits including position and tenor limits and maintains liquid positions as a result of which market risk typically can be neutralized or mitigated on short notice. As a result of these controls, Occidental believes that the market risk of its trading activities is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its performance.
| | | | | | | | |
| | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES |
GENERAL
Occidental acquired interest rate swap contracts in the Acquisition. Occidental pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate indexed to three-month LIBOR. The swaps have an initial term of 30 years with mandatory termination dates in September 2020 through 2023 and a total notional amount of $1.475 billion as of December 31, 2019. In October 2019, $125 million of notional interest rate swaps were terminated. As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of the swaps of negative $1.4 billion net liability was offset by $104 million in posted cash collateral, resulting in a net $1.3 billion liability. A 25-basis point decrease in implied LIBOR rates over the term of the swaps would result in an additional liability of approximately $101 million on these swaps. In January and February 2020, Occidental extended September 2020 mandatory termination dates to September 2021 and September 2022 for swaps with a notional value of $500 million and $150 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2019,2022, Occidental had $4.5fixed rate debt with a fair value of $17.5 billion of variable-rate debt outstanding. A 25-basis point increase in LIBOR interest rates would increase gross interest expense approximately $11 million per year.
As of December 31, 2019, Occidental had $34.3 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding. A 25-basis point change in Treasury rates would change the fair value of the fixed-ratefixed rate debt approximately $680$295 million.

Occidental’s international operations have limited currency risk. Occidental manages its exposure primarily by balancing monetary assets and liabilities and limiting cash positions in foreign currencies to levels necessary for operating purposes. A vast majority of international oil sales are denominated in United States dollars. Additionally, all of Occidental’s consolidated international oil and gas subsidiaries have the United States dollar as the functional currency. As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of foreign currency derivatives used in the marketing operations was immaterial. The effect of exchange rates on transactions in foreign currencies is included in periodic income.
|
| | |
| QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES | |
The majority of Occidental’s counterparty credit risk is related to the physical delivery of energy commodities to its customers and theirany inability of these customers to meet their settlement commitments. Occidental manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with counterparties and by requiring collateral or other credit risk mitigants, as appropriate. Occidental actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. Occidental also enters into futurefutures contracts through regulated exchanges with select clearinghouses and brokers, which are subject to minimal credit risk, as a significant portion of these transactions settle on a daily margin basis.
Certain over-the-counter derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each party would need to post. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-contingent features for which a net liability position existed at December 31, 2019 was $787 million (net of $169 million collateral), primarily related to acquired interest-rate swaps, and $68 million (net of $1 million of collateral) existed at December 31, 2018.if any.
As of December 31, 2019,2022, the substantial majority of the credit exposures were with investment grade counterparties. Occidental believes its exposure to credit-related losses atas of December 31, 2019,2022, was not material and losses associated with credit risk have been insignificant for all years presented.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS HELD FOR NON-TRADING PURPOSES |
As of December 31, 2019, Occidental had derivative instruments in place to reduce the price risk associated with future oil production of 350 thousand barrels per day. As of December 31, 2019, these derivative instruments were at a $68 million net derivative liability position.
The following table shows a sensitivity analysis based on both a 5% and 10% change in commodity prices and their effect on the net derivative liability position of $68 million at December 31, 2019:

Evaluation of the environmental liability associated with the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River site
As discussed in Notes 1 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accrues a liability for estimated environmental remedial activities when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of remediation costs can be estimated. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s estimated environmental liabilities were $1.2 billion. The Company accrued a liability related to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the remedial activities required for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River site.
We identified the evaluation of the environmental liability associated with the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River site as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in applying and evaluating the results of our procedures. This is due to 1) possible changes to expected remedial activities to implement the proposed clean-up plan outlined in the Record of Decision (ROD) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and their estimated costs, and 2) possible changes to the Company’s estimated share of the remediation costs.
The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included the following. We tested certain internal controls over the Company’s environmental liability process to estimate the cost of remedial activities, and estimate the Company’s allocable share of the remediation costs. We evaluated the remedial activities and related cost assumptions used by the Company by comparing them against remedial activities and cost estimates provided by the EPA in the ROD. We compared certain design documentation provided by the Company to the EPA in order to identify potential differences between the design plan and the ROD and assessed the impact of any such differences on the remediation cost assumptions used by the Company to estimate the liability. We assessed the Company’s assumption for its allocable share of the remediation costs and analyzed publicly available data sources for information that might be contrary to the information used by the Company. We involved an environmental analysis professional with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in reading correspondence between the Company and the EPA related to the design phase for this site to assess the Company’s remediation cost assumptions.
Assessment of the estimated proved oil and gas reserves on the determination of depreciation and depletion expense related tofor proved oil and gas propertiesproperties.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company determines depreciation and depletion of oil and gas producing properties by the unit-of-production method. Under this method, capitalized costs are amortized over total estimated proved reserves. For the year ended December 31, 2019,2022, the Company recorded depreciation and depletion expense related to proved oil and gas properties of $5.0$6.2 billion.
We identified the assessment of the estimated proved oil and gas reserves on the determination of depreciation and depletion expense related to proved oil and gas properties as a critical audit matter. Complex auditor judgment was required to evaluateassess the Company’s estimate of total proved oil and gas reserves, which is a key input for the determination of depreciation and depletion expense. Estimating total proved oil and gas reserves requires the expertise of professional petroleum reservoir engineers. The estimate of proved oilkey assumptions included (1) estimated future production quantities, and gas reserves is dependent upon timing of future(2) estimated production, operating and capital cost assumptions and oil and gas prices inclusive of market differentials.costs.

The evaluation of market based transactions included determining which market transactions were most relevantour procedures due to possible changes to the Company’s acquisitionestimated allocable share of Anadarko’s oil and gas properties. In addition, the income approach utilized risk adjusted discounted cash flow models, which included several significant assumptions. remediation costs.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Assessment of and Report on Internal Control overOver Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

| NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
In this report, “Occidental” means Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (OPC), or OPC and one or more entities in which it owns a controlling interest (subsidiaries). Occidental conducts its operations through various subsidiaries and affiliates. On August 8, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 9, 2019 (the Merger Agreement), among Occidental, Baseball Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental (Merger Subsidiary), and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko), Occidental acquired all of the outstanding shares of Anadarko through a transaction in which Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Anadarko (the Acquisition), with Anadarko continuing as the surviving entity and as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental. See Note 3 - The Acquisition.Occidental’s principal businesses consist of 3three reporting segments: oil and gas, chemical and marketingmidstream and midstream.marketing. The oil and gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL)(which includes condensate), NGL and natural gas. The chemical segment (OxyChem) mainlyOxyChem primarily manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The marketingmidstream and midstreammarketing segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil condensate,(which includes condensate), NGL, natural gas, carbon dioxide (COCO2) and power. It also trades aroundoptimizes its assets, including transportation and storage capacity, and invests in entities that conduct similar activities. Included in theactivities, such as WES.
The midstream and marketing and midstream segment is Occidental’s equity method investment in Western Midstream Partners, L.P. (WES). WES owns gathering systems, plants and pipelines and earns revenue from fee-based and service-based contracts with Occidental and third parties. Also within the marketing and midstream segment is Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV).also includes OLCV. OLCV seeks to capitalize onleverage Occidental’s enhanced oil recovery (EOR) leadership by developinglegacy of carbon capture, utilizationmanagement expertise to develop CCUS projects, including the commercialization of DAC technology, and storage projects that source anthropogenic CO2invests in other low-carbon technologies intended to reduce GHG emissions from our operations and promote innovative technologies that drive cost efficiencies and economically grow Occidental’s business while reducingstrategically partner with other industries to help reduce their emissions.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)GAAP and include the accounts of OPC,Occidental, its subsidiaries, variable interest entities (VIE) for which Occidental is the primary beneficiary, and its undivided interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures.ventures and, previously, variable interest entities, for which Occidental was the primary beneficiary. Occidental accounts for its share of oil and gas exploration and production ventures, in which it has a direct working interest, by reporting its proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and cash flows within the relevant lines on the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows.
The Acquisition introduced different revenue and expense streams to Occidental’s legacy operations. As a result, changes were made to the structure of certain financial statements, notes and supplementary data to provide clarity and Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
WES INVESTMENT
WES is a publicly traded limited partnership with its common units traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “WES.” WES owns the entire non-economic general partner interest and a 98% limited partner interest in Western Midstream Operating, LP (WES Operating), a Delaware limited partnership formed by Anadarko in 2007 to acquire, own, develop and operate midstream assets. WES maintains its own capital structure that is separate from Occidental, consisting of its own debt instruments and publicly traded common units.
From the Acquisition date through December 31, 2019, WES was determined to be a VIE, and Occidental, through its ownership of the general partner interest in WES, had the power to direct the activities that significantly affected the economic performance of WES and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to WES. As such, Occidental was considered the primary beneficiary and consolidated WES and its consolidated subsidiaries from the date of the Acquisition to December 31, 2019. All intercompany transactions were eliminated during the consolidated period. Revenues of $1.1 billion, cost of sales of $500 million and operating cash flows of $498 million from the date of the Acquisition to December 31, 2019 are attributable to WES and are included in Occidental’s consolidated financial statements. Net income from noncontrolling interest for the same period relates to the 44.6% limited partner interest of WES owned by the public.

FOOTNOTES

On December 31, 2019, Occidental and WES executed several agreements to allow WES to operate as an independent midstream company to support its ongoing pursuit of third-party growth opportunities. The executed agreements include amendments to the partnership agreement that significantly expand the unaffiliated limited partner unitholders’ rights. The significant amendments to the partnership agreement included:
Ø Providing for a simple majority of the unaffiliated unitholders to remove and elect a new general partner;
Ø Allowing for 20% of the unaffiliated unitholders to call a special meeting to vote to remove the general partner;
Ø Eliminating ownership thresholds that could have prevented unaffiliated unitholders from voting;
Ø Limiting Occidental’s voting percentage to 45% for certain unitholder matters until Occidental owns less than 40% of the limited partner units for twelve consecutive months; and
Ø Transferring 2% of Occidental’s limited partner interest to the general partner to provide a 2% economic interest to the general partner.
In addition to the partnership agreement amendments, in December 2019, the WES management team’s employment was transferred from Occidental to WES, and WES-dedicated personnel were seconded to WES from Occidental. The seconded employees’ employment is contractually obligated to be transferred to WES during 2020 once employee benefit plans are established. Additionally, as of December 31, 2019, Occidental employees no longer comprise a majority of the board of directors of WES’s general partner.
As a result of the partnership agreement amendments and other related agreements, WES no longer met the criteria to be considered a VIE. Accordingly, Occidental evaluated WES under the voting interest model and determined, because Occidental did not control the power to appoint or remove a successor general partner, it should no longer consolidate WES.
As a result of the loss of control, Occidental derecognized all assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interest that were previously consolidated. Occidental recognized, at fair value, an equity method investment of $5.1 billion based on the closing market price of WES as of December 31, 2019 and recognized a loss of approximately $1 billion that is included in asset impairments and other charges on the Statement of Operations. In future periods, Occidental will recognize equity method earnings and dividends received for its economic interest in WES.
As of December 31, 2019, Occidental has a 55.4% unit ownership in WES, which consists of a 2% non-voting general partner unit interest and 54.5% of limited partner unit interest. In addition, Occidental has a 2% non-voting limited partner interest in WES Operating, which brings Occidental’s total effective economic interest in WES and its subsidiaries to 56.3%. During 2020, Occidental intends to reduce its limited partner ownership interest in WES to below 50%. Occidental’s historical pro rata interest in the net assets of WES was $1.9 billion, resulting in a basis difference of $3.2 billion primarily associated with WES’s equity method investments, PP&E, equity method goodwill and intangible assets - customer relationships and subject to amortization over their estimated average useful life.
INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
Occidental’s percentage interest in the underlying net assets of affiliates for which it exercises significant influence without having a controlling interest (excluding oil and gas ventures in which Occidental holds an undivided interest) are accounted for under the equity method. Occidental reviews equity-method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The amount of impairment, if any, is based on quoted market prices, when available, or other valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Occidental evaluates the facts and circumstances of any distributions in excess of its carrying amount in the investment to determine the appropriate accounting, including the source of the proceeds and any implicit or explicit commitments to fund the affiliate. If there is no implicit or explicit commitment the distribution is treated as a gain. If an implicit or explicit commitment exists to possibly fund the affiliate at a future date the distribution is recorded against the equity-method investment. See Note 4 - Investments and Related-Party Transactions for further discussion regarding investments in unconsolidated entities.
WES INVESTMENT
WES is a publicly traded limited partnership with its common units traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “WES.” WES owns the entire non-economic general partner interest and a 98% limited partner interest in WES Operating.
In connection with the Acquisition,July 2022, Occidental agreed to sell to TOTAL S.A. (Total)sold 10.0 million limited partner units of WES for proceeds of approximately $250 million, resulting in a gain of $62 million.
As of December 31, 2022, Occidental owned all of the 2.3% non-voting general partner interest and 49.5% of the limited partner units in WES. On a combined basis, with its 2% non-voting limited partner interest in WES Operating, Occidental's total effective economic interest in WES and its subsidiaries was 51.7% and Occidental’s carrying value of WES was approximately $2.0 billion, which exceeds Occidental’s pro-rata interest in the net assets liabilities, businesses,of WES by $390 million. This basis difference is primarily associated with WES' PP&E and operations of Anadarko’s operations in Algeria, Ghana, Mozambiqueequity investments and South Africa (collectively, the Africa Assets) for $8.8 billion,is subject to certain purchase price adjustments. In August 2019, a purchase and sale agreement was executed for these Africa Assets. This transaction is conditioned on the receipt of required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary closing conditions. In September 2019, Occidental completed the sale of Mozambique LNG assets to Total for $4.2 billion. The assets and liabilities for Algeria, Ghana and South Africa are presented as held for sale at December 31, 2019. The results of operations of the Africa Assets are presented as discontinued operations, seeamortization over their estimated average lives. See Note 4 - Acquisitions, DispositionsInvestment and OtherRelated-Party Transactions. for further information.
BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY OWNERSHIP
Berkshire Hathaway is a related party of Occidental due to its level of ownership of Occidental's common stock. During the third quarter of 2022, Berkshire Hathaway increased its ownership in Occidental to approximately 194 million shares of common stock. Occidental has, from time to time, contracted with Berkshire Hathaway for the provision of electricity, rail and insurance. In January 2020, Occidental completed the sale of South Africa assets to Total.addition, certain Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries purchase various chemicals from our chemical segment.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The process of preparing consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires Occidental’s management to make informed estimates and judgments regarding certain types of financial statement balances and disclosures. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and judgments on expected outcomes as well as the materiality of transactions and balances. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information relating to such transactions and events may result in revised estimates and judgments and actual results may differ from estimates upon settlement. Management believes that these estimates and judgments provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of Occidental’s financial statements. Occidental establishes a valuation allowance against net operating losses and other deferred tax assets to the extent it believes the future benefit from these assets will not be realized in the statutory carryforward periods. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon Occidental generating sufficient future taxable income and reversal of temporary differences in jurisdictions where such assets originate.
The accompanying consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements include assets of approximately $14.9$7.7 billion as of December 31, 2019,2022 and net sales of approximately $4.6$5.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019,2022, relating to Occidental’s operations in countries outside North America. Occidental operates somehas experienced and may continue to experience adverse consequences, such as risk of loss or production limitations, because certain of its oil and gas businessinternational operations are located in countries that have experiencedaffected by political instability, nationalizations, corruption, armed conflict, terrorism, insurgency, civil unrest, security problems, labor unrest, OPEC production restrictions, equipment import restrictions and sanctions, allsanctions. Exposure to such risks may increase if a greater percentage of which increase Occidental’s risk of loss, delayed or restrictedfuture oil and gas production or may result in other adverse consequences.revenue comes from international sources. Occidental attempts to conduct its affairs so as to mitigate its exposure to such risks and would seek compensation in the event of nationalization.
Because Occidental’s major products are commodities, significant changes in the prices of oil, andNGL, natural gas and chemical products may have a significant impact on Occidental’s results of operations. Also, see “Property,Property, Plant and Equipment”Equipment section below.
CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH EQUIVALENTS
Occidental considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents or restricted cash equivalents. The cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents balance at December 31, 2019, included investments in government money market funds in which the carrying value approximates fair value.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as reported at the end of the period in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 to the line items within the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019. There was no restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents at December 31, 2018.

INVENTORIES
Materials and supplies are valued at weighted-average cost and are reviewed periodically for obsolescence. Oil, NGL and natural gas inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.
For the chemical segment, Occidental’s finished goods inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. For most of its domestic inventories, other than materials and supplies, the chemical segment uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO)LIFO method as it better matches current costs and current revenue. For other countries, Occidental uses the first-in, first-out method (if the costs of goods are specifically identifiable) or the average-cost method (if the costs of goods are not specifically identifiable).
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
OIL AND GAS
The carrying value of Occidental’s property, plant and equipment (PP&E)PP&E represents the cost incurred to acquire or develop the asset, including any asset retirement obligationsAROs and capitalized interest, net of accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A)DD&A and any impairment charges. For assets acquired, PP&E cost is based on fair values at the acquisition date. Asset retirement obligationsAROs and interest costs incurred in connection with qualifying capital expenditures are capitalized and amortized over the lives of the related assets.
Occidental uses the successful efforts method to account for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, Occidental capitalizes costs of acquiring properties, costs of drilling successful exploration wells and development costs. The costs of exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending a determination of whether proved reserves have been found. If proved reserves have been found, the costs of exploratory wells remain capitalized. For exploratory wells that find reserves that cannot be classified as proved when drilling is completed, costs continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory drilling costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to justify completion as a producing well and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory drilling costs in light of ongoing exploration activities, in

particular, whether Occidental is making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts or, in the case of discoveries requiring government sanctioning, analyzing whether development negotiations are underway and proceeding as planned. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory well costs are expensed.

Occidental expenses annual lease rentals, the costs of injectants used in production and geological geophysical and seismicgeophysical costs as incurred.
Occidental determines depreciation and depletion of oil and gas producing properties by the unit-of-production method. It amortizes leasehold costs over total proved reserves and capitalized development and successful exploration costs over proved developed reserves.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible-fromproducible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations-priorregulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Proved reserves include PUD reserves. PUD reserves are supported by a management-approved, detailed, field-level development plan where sufficient capital has been committed to develop those reserves. Only PUD reserves which are reasonably certain to be drilled within five years of booking and are supported by a final investment decision to drill them are included in the development plan. A portion of the PUD reserves associated with international operations are expected to be developed beyond the five years and are tied to approved long-term development projects.

Occidental performs impairment tests with respect to its proved properties whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of property may not be recoverable. If there is an indication the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered due to significant and prolonged declines in current and forward prices, significant changes in reserve estimates, changes in management’s plans, or other significant events, management will evaluate the property for impairment. Under the successful efforts method, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the proved property, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair value and reported as an impairment charge in the period. Individual proved properties are grouped for impairment purposes at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows.flows unless observable and comparable transactions are available. The fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by market participants. The impairment test incorporates a number of assumptions involving expectations of future cash flows which can change significantly over time. These assumptions include future production and timing of production, estimates of future production, product prices, contractual prices, estimates of risk-adjusted oil and gas proved and unproved reserves and estimates of future operating and development costs. It is reasonably possible that prolonged declines in commodity prices, reduced capital spending in response to lower prices or increases in operating costs could result in additional impairments. See Note 179 - Fair Value Measurements and below for further discussion of asset impairments. A portion of the carrying value of Occidental’s oil and gas properties is attributable to unproved properties. Net capitalized costs attributable to unproved properties were $29.5$12.6 billion atas of December 31, 20192022 and $1.0$14.8 billion as of December 31, 2018.2021. The unproved amounts are not subject to DD&A until they are classified as proved properties. Individually insignificant unproved properties are combined and amortized on a group basis based on factors such as lease terms, success rates and other factors. If the exploration efforts are unsuccessful,factors to provide for full amortization upon lease expiration or management decides not to pursue development of theseabandonment.

The timing of any writedowns of these unproved properties,recovered a valuation allowance is provided if warranted, depends upon management’s plans, the nature, timing and extent of future exploration and development activities and their results.an impairment is indicated. Occidental periodically reviews significant unproved properties for impairments; numerous factors are considered, including but not limited to, availability of funds for future exploration and development activities, current exploration and development plans, favorable or unfavorable exploration activity on the property or the adjacent property, geologists’ evaluation of the property, and the remaining lease term for the property. Management’s assessment of the availability of funds for future activities and the current and projected political and regulatory climate, contractual conditions and the remaining lease term for the properties. If an impairment is indicated, Occidental will first determine whether a comparable transaction for similar properties or implied acreage valuation derived from domestic onshore market participants is available and will adjust the carrying amount of the unproved property to its fair value using the market approach. In situations where the market approach is not observable and unproved reserves are available,

CHEMICAL
Occidental’s chemical assets are depreciated using either the unit-of-production or the straight-line method, based upon the estimated useful lives of the facilities. The estimated useful lives of Occidental’s chemical assets, which range from three years to 50 years, are also used for impairment tests. The estimated useful lives for the chemical facilities are based on the assumption that Occidental will provide an appropriate level of annual expenditures to ensure productive capacity is sustained. Such expenditures consist of ongoing routine repairs and maintenance, as well as planned major maintenance activities (PMMA).activities. Ongoing routine repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. PMMAPlanned major maintenance activities costs are capitalized and amortized over the period until the next planned overhaul. Additionally, Occidental incurs capital expenditures that extend the remaining useful lives of existing assets, increase their capacity or operating efficiency beyond the original specification or add value through modification for a different use. These capital expenditures are not considered in the initial determination of the useful lives of these assets at the time they are placed into service. The resulting revision, if any, of the asset’s estimated useful life is measured and accounted for prospectively.
Without these continued expenditures, the useful lives of these assets could decrease significantly. Other factors that could change the estimated useful lives of Occidental’s chemical assets include sustained higher or lower product prices, which are affected by domestic and international competition, demand, feedstock costs, energy prices, environmental regulations and technological changes.
Occidental performs impairment tests on its chemical assets whenever events or changes in circumstances lead to a reduction in the estimated useful lives or estimated future cash flows that would indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, or when management’s plans change with respect to those assets. Any impairment loss would be calculated as the excess of the asset’s net book value over its estimated fair value.

GOODWILL
Occidental recognized goodwill of $5.8 billion associated with the Acquisition. The goodwill was based on WES’s publicly traded units and was primarily associated with the relationship between Occidental and WES as well as Occidental’s tax basis in WES. Upon loss of control and application of the equity method of accounting, $4.6 billion of goodwill was derecognized. The remaining $1.2 billion in goodwill is assigned to the marketing and midstream segment and is attributable to the deferred tax liability associated with the investment in WES.
Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing every October. Occidental’s goodwill impairment test first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether goodwill is likely impaired. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount including goodwill, Occidental will then perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Changes in goodwill may result from, among other things, impairments, future acquisitions, or future divestitures.
IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES
During 2019,2021, Occidental’s Oiloil and Gasgas segment recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $285$282 million primarily related to domestic undeveloped leases that either expired or were set to expire in the near term,near-term, where Occidental had no plans to pursue exploration activities and, $39 million related to Occidental’s mutually agreed early terminationa lesser extent, impairments of its Qatar Idd El Shargi South Dome (ISSD) contract.oil and gas materials and supplies inventories.

The fair value of the proved properties was measured based on the income approach, which incorporated a number of assumptions involving expectations of future cash flows. These assumptions included estimates of future product prices, which Occidental based on forward price curves, estimates of oil and gas reserves, estimates of future expected operating and capital costs and a risk-adjusted discount rate of 10%. These inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair-value hierarchy.
Also in 2018, the marketing and midstream segment incurred approximately $100 million of charges primarily for lower of cost or market adjustments on its crude inventory and line fill.
In 2017, Occidental recorded netrecognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $397 million$1.2 billion related to provedgoodwill associated with Occidental’s ownership in WES. Significant declines in the market value of WES’ publicly traded units resulted in management’s determination that, more likely than not, the fair value of the reporting unit was significantly less than its carrying value and unproved non-core Permian acreage and $120 million related to idled marketing and midstream facilities.the entire balance was fully impaired. The market value of WES’ publicly traded units is considered a Level 1 input.
It is reasonably possible that prolongedProlonged declines in commodity prices, reduced capital spending in response to lower prices or increases in operating costs could result in additional impairments.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the inputs to the valuation techniques: Level 1 – using quoted prices in active markets for the assets or liabilities; Level 2 – using observable inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 – using unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels, if any, are reported at the end of each reporting period.

FAIR VALUES - RECURRING
Occidental primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements, maximizes its use of observable inputs and minimizes its use of unobservable inputs. Occidental utilizes the mid-point between bid and ask prices for valuing the majority of its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. In addition to using market data, Occidental makes assumptions in valuing its assets and liabilities, including assumptions about the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. For assets and liabilities carried at fair value, Occidental measures fair value using the following methods:

NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Occidental uses market-observable prices for assets when comparable transactions can be identified that are similar to the asset being valued. When Occidental is required to measure fair value and there is not a market-observable price for the asset or for a similar asset then the cost or income approach is used depending on the quality of information available to support management’s assumptions. The cost approach is based on management’s best estimate of the current asset replacement cost. The income approach is based on management’s best assumptions regarding expectations of future net cash flows, and theflows. The expected cash flows are discounted using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate. Such evaluations involve significant judgment, and the results are based on expected future events or conditions such as sales prices, estimates of future oil and gas production or throughput, development and operating costs and the timing thereof, economic and regulatory climates and other factors, most of which are often outside of management’s control. However, assumptions used reflect a market participant’s view of long-term prices, costs and other factors and are consistent with assumptions used in the Company’sOccidental’s business plans and investment decisions.
ACCRUED LIABILITIES - CURRENT
Accrued liabilities - current included accrued payroll, commissions and related expenses of $1.2 billion$582 million and $428$677 million atas of December 31, 2019,2022 and 2018,2021, respectively, and taxes other than on income of $544 million and $445 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Dividends payable, also included in accrued liabilities - current, were $884$289 million and $600$188 million atas of December 31, 2019,2022, and 2018,2021, respectively. Derivate financial instruments, also included in accrued liabilities - current, were $641 million and $134 million at December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES
EnvironmentalCertain subsidiaries of Occidental incur environmental liabilities and expenditures that relate to current operations and are expensed or capitalized by such subsidiaries as appropriate. Occidental recordsCertain subsidiaries also incur environmental liabilities and expenditures with respect to remediation of existing conditions from alleged past practices at Currently Operated, Closed or Non-Operated, and Third-Party Sites, which categories may include NPL sites. Those environmental liabilities and related charges and expenses for estimated remediation costs that relate to existing conditions from past operations are recorded when environmental remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Occidental discloses such remediation liabilities on a consolidated basis. In determining the environmental remediation liability and the range of reasonably possible additional losses, Occidental refers to currently available information, including relevant past experience, remedial objectives, available technologies, applicable laws and regulations and cost-sharing arrangements. Occidental bases itsThese environmental remediation liabilities are based on management’s estimate of the most likely cost to be incurred, using the most cost-effective technology reasonably expected to achieve the remedial objective. Occidental periodically reviews itsthese environmental remediation liabilities and adjusts them as new information becomes available. Occidental records environmental remediation liabilities on a discounted basis when it deems the aggregate amount and timing of cash payments to be reliably determinable at the time the reserves are established. The reserve methodology with respect to discounting for a specific site is not modified once it is established. Presently none of its environmental remediation liabilities are recorded on a discounted basis. OccidentalOccidental’s subsidiaries generally recordsrecord reimbursements or recoveries of environmental remediation costs in income when received, or when receipt of recovery is highly probable.
Many factors could affect Occidental’s future remediation costs incurred by Occidental’s subsidiaries and result in adjustments to its environmental remediation liabilities and the range of reasonably possible additional losses. The most significant are: (1)
| | | | | | | | |
| | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
cost estimates for remedial activities may vary from the initial estimate; (2) the length of time, type or amount of remediation necessary to achieve the remedial objective may change due to factors such as site conditions, the ability to identify and control contaminant sources or the discovery of additional contamination; (3) a regulatory agency may ultimately reject or modify Occidental’s proposed remedial plan; (4) improved or alternative remediation technologies may change remediation costs; (5) laws and regulations may change remediation requirements or affect cost sharing or allocation of liability; and (6) changes in allocation or cost-sharing arrangements may occur.
Certain sites involve multiple parties with various cost-sharing arrangements, which fall into the following three categories: (1) environmental proceedings that result in a negotiated or prescribed allocation of remediation costs among the affected Occidental subsidiary and other alleged potentially responsible parties; (2) oil and gas ventures in which each participant pays its proportionate share of remediation costs reflecting its working interest; or (3) contractual arrangements, typically relating to purchases and sales of properties, in which the parties to the transaction agree to methods of allocating remediation costs. In these circumstances, Occidentalthe affected subsidiary evaluates the financial viability of other parties with whom it is alleged to be jointly liable, the degree of their commitment to participate and the consequences to Occidentalsuch subsidiary of their failure to participate when estimating Occidental’sits ultimate share of liability. Occidental records its environmental remediation liabilities at its expected net cost of remedial activities and, based on these factors, believes that it will not be required to assume a share of liability of such other potentially responsible parties in an amount materially above amounts reserved.
In addition to the costs of investigations and cleanupclean-up measures, which often take in excess of 10 years at Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) National Priorities List (NPL)CERCLA NPL sites, Occidental’s environmental remediation liabilities include management’s estimates of the costs to operate and maintain remedial systems. If remedial systems are modified over time in response to significant changes in site-specific data, laws, regulations, technologies or engineering estimates, Occidental reviews and adjusts its environmental remediation liabilities accordingly.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
Occidental recognizes the fair value of asset retirement obligationsAROs in the period in which a determination is made that a legal obligation exists to dismantle an asset and reclaim or remediate the property at the end of its useful life and the cost of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. The liability amounts are based on future retirement cost estimates and incorporate many assumptions such as time to abandonment, future inflation rates and the risk-adjusted discount rate. When the liability is initially recorded, Occidental capitalizes the cost by increasing the related PP&E balances. If the estimated future cost of the asset retirement obligationsAROs changes, Occidental records an adjustment to both the asset retirement obligationsAROs and PP&E. Over time, the liability is increased, and expense is recognized for accretion and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.
The majority of Occidental’s asset retirement obligationsAROs relate to the plugging of wells and the related abandonment of oil and gas properties. Revisions in estimated liabilities during the period primarily relate to liabilities acquired in the Acquisition and include, but are not limited to, changes in estimates of asset retirement costs, revisions of estimated inflation rates, changes in property lives, and the expected timing of settlements.
At a certain number of its facilities, Occidental has identified conditional asset retirement obligationsAROs that are related mainly to plant decommissioning. Occidental does not know or cannot estimate when it may settle these obligations. Therefore, Occidental cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of these liabilities. Occidental will recognize these conditional asset retirement obligationsAROs in the periods in which sufficient information becomes available to reasonably estimate their fair values.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. Occidental applies hedge accounting when transactions meet specified criteria for cash-flowcash flow hedge treatment and management elects and documents such treatment. Otherwise, any fair value gains or losses are recognized in earnings in the current period. For cash-flowcash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the effective portion of the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI)OCI with an offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the item being hedged. Realized gains or losses from cash-flowcash flow hedges, and any ineffective portion, are recorded as a component of net sales in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations. Ineffectiveness is primarily created by a lack of correlation between the hedged item and the hedging instrument due to location, quality, grade or changes in the expected quantity of the hedged item. Gains and losses

| | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
from derivative instruments are reported net in the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of operations.Operations. There were no fair value hedges as of and during the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182022, 2021 and 2017.2020.
A hedge is regarded as highly effective such that it qualifies for hedge accounting if, at inception and throughout its life, it is expected that changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item will be offset by 80% to 125% of the changes in the fair value or cash flows, respectively, of the hedging instrument. In the case of hedging a forecast transaction, the transaction must be probable and must present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income or loss. Occidental discontinues hedge accounting when it determines that a derivative has ceased to be highly effective as a hedge; when the hedged item matures or is sold or repaid; or when a forecast transaction is no longer deemed probable.

STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS
Occidental has established several stockholder-approved stock-based incentive plans for certain employees and directors (Plans)the Plan that areis more fully described in Note 1415 - Stock-Based Incentive Plans. A summary of Occidental’s accounting policy for awards issued under the PlansPlan is as follows. For cash- and stock-settled restricted stock units or incentive award shares (RSU), cash return on capital employed incentiveRSUs and CROCEI awards, (CROCEI), return on capital employed incentive awards (ROCEI) and return on assets incentive awards (ROAI), compensation value is initially measured on the grant date using the quoted market price of Occidental’s common stock and the estimated payout aton the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black Scholes model. For total shareholder return incentiveTSRI awards, (TSRI), compensation value is initially measured on the grant date using estimated payout levelsthe fair value derived from a Monte Carlo valuation model. Compensation expense for RSUs, CROCEIs, ROCEIs, ROAIs and TSRIsall awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally over the awards’ respective vesting or performance periods. The stock-settled awards are expensed using the initially measured compensation value. The liability resulting from cash settled awards and accrued dividends are remeasured at each reporting period. Dividends accrued on unvested awards are adjusted quarterly for any changes in the number of share equivalents expected to be paid based on the relevant performance and market criteria, if applicable. All such performance or stock-price-related changes are recognized in periodic compensation expense. The stock-settled portion of these awards is expensed using the initially measured compensation value. The liability resulting from the cash settled portion of these awards and accrued dividends are remeasured at each reporting period.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Occidental’s instruments containing rights to nonforfeitable dividends granted in stock-based awards are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, have been deducted from earnings in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.
Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock, net of income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including vested but unissued shares and share units. The computation of diluted EPS reflects the additional dilutive effect of stock options and unvested stock awards.
RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
Occidental’s defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations are actuarially determined based on various assumptions and discount rates. The discount rate assumptions used are meant to reflect the interest rate at which the obligations could effectively be settled on the measurement date. Occidental estimates the rate of return on assets with regard to current market factors but within the context of historical returns. Occidental funds and expenses negotiated pension increases for domestic union employees over the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreements.
Pension and any postretirement plan assets are measured at fair value. Common stock, preferred stock, publicly registered mutual funds, U.S. government securities and corporate bonds are valued using quoted market prices in active markets when available. When quoted market prices are not available, these investments are valued using pricing models with observable inputs from both active and non-active markets. Common and collective trusts are valued at the fund units’ net asset value (NAV)NAV provided by the issuer, which represents the quoted price in a non-active market. Short-term investment funds are valued at the fund units’ NAV provided by the issuer.

CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH EQUIVALENTS
Occidental considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents or restricted cash equivalents.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The functional currency applicable to all of Occidental’s international oil and gas operations is the U.S. dollar since cash flows are denominated principally in U.S. dollars. In Occidental’s other operations, Occidental’s use of non-United States dollar functional currencies was not material for all years presented. The effect of exchange rates on transactions in foreign currencies is included in periodic income. Occidental reports the exchange rate differences arising from translating foreign-currency-denominated balance sheet accounts to the United States dollar as of the reporting date in other comprehensive income.OCI. Exchange-rate gains and losses for continuing operations were not material for all years presented.
INCOME TAXES
Occidental files various U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns. The impact of changes in tax regulations are reflected when enacted. In general, deferred federal, state and foreign income taxes are provided on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Occidental routinely assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. If Occidental concludes that it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. Occidental recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recorded is equal to the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized through final settlement with a taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense (benefit). Occidental uses the flow-through method to account for its investment tax credits. See Note 1210 - Income Taxes. for more information.
OTHER LOSS CONTINGENCIES
Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries are involved, in the normal course of business, in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries also are involved in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and international environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties and injunctive relief. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and have to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. Further, some lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third-partythird party or Occidental or its subsidiaries retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE CHANGES |
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE CHANGES
In January 2019, Occidental adopted the new lease standard Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 - Leases (ASC 842). The new standard requires Occidental to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet. The new rules require lessees to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Occidental adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach, including adopting several optional practical expedients. See Note 8 - Lease Commitments.In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released standards that allow the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects resulting from changes to U.S. federal tax law from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Reform) enacted in December 2017. Occidental early adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018, resulting in the reclassification of $58 million in stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings.
In January 2018, Occidental adopted the new revenue recognition standard Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related updates (ASC 606). The new standard requires more detailed disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Occidental adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. The cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption was not material. See Note 5 - Revenue.In January 2017, FASB issued new guidance clarifying the definition of a business under the topic Business Combinations. The rules became effective in the first quarter of 2018, and did not have a material impact to Occidental’s financial statements upon adoption.

On May 9, 2019, Occidental entered into the Acquisition Agreement with Anadarko. On August 8, 2019, Anadarko’s stockholders voted to approve the Acquisition and it was made effective the same day. The Acquisition added to Occidental’s oil and gas portfolio, primarily in the Permian Basin, DJ Basin and Gulf of Mexico, and a controlling interest in WES.
In exchange for each share of Anadarko common stock, Anadarko stockholders received $59.00 in cash and 0.2934 of a share of Occidental common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share of Occidental common stock that otherwise would have been issued, based on the average price of $46.31 per share of Occidental common stock on the NYSE on August 8, 2019.
In connection with the Acquisition, Occidental issued $13.0 billion of new senior unsecured notes, $8.8 billion of term loans (the Term Loans) and 100,000 shares of series A preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) with a warrant to purchase 80 million shares of Occidental common stock at an exercise price of $62.50 (the Warrant) for $10 billion. In addition, Occidental increased its existing $3.0 billion revolving credit facility by an additional $2.0 billion in commitments. See Note 7 - Long-term Debt and Note 13 - Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.The Acquisition constitutes a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the major categories of WES assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition date as well as the noncontrolling interest, which primarily consists of the 44.6% limited partner interest in WES owned by the public. The fair value of Occidental’s controlling interest in WES is calculated based on the market capitalization value at the Acquisition date.

The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets and liabilities acquired based upon their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the Acquisition. The valuation of certain assets, including property and intangible assets, are based on preliminary appraisals. The majority of measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, other than debt, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of acquired properties and equipment is based on both available market data and a cost approach.
Onshore undeveloped oil and gas properties were valued primarily using a market approach based on comparable transactions for similar properties while the income approach was utilized for developed oil and gas properties based on underlying reserve projections at the Acquisition date. For the acquired Gulf of Mexico offshore properties, an income approach was used as the primary valuation method based on underlying reserve projections. Income approaches are considered level 3 fair value estimates and include significant assumptions of future production, commodity prices, and operating and capital cost estimates, discounted using weighted average cost of capital for industry peers, and risk adjustment factors based on reserve category. Price assumptions were based on a combination of market information and published industry resources adjusted for historical differentials. Cost estimates were based on current observable costs inflated based on historical and expected future inflation. Taxes were based on current statutory rates.
The fair value of WES investments in unconsolidated entities were valued using an income approach for each investment, with significant inputs being forecasted distributions, an anticipated growth rate and an estimated discount rate. Acquired WES property, plant and equipment primarily consisted of gathering systems and processing and treating facilities and were primarily valued using a replacement cost approach. Intangible assets primarily consist of relationships with third-party customers, the fair value of which was determined using an income approach, including significant assumptions related to estimated cash flows from third-party customers less a contributory asset charge, a customer retention rate and an estimated discount rate. Customer relationships are amortized over 30 years. Goodwill is attributable to the difference in WES market capitalization value and the net assets acquired and primarily relates to the relationship between Occidental and WES that is not recognized as a separate asset, due to Occidental consolidating WES as of the Acquisition date.
Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences in the tax basis and acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement of debt instruments was based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market and are primarily Level 1; approximately $2.5 billion of the assumed Anadarko debt is considered Level 2, while approximately $730 million of the WES debt is considered Level 2. The value of derivative instruments was based on observable inputs, primarily forward commodity-price and interest-rate curves and is considered Level 2.

With the completion of the Acquisition, Occidental acquired proved and unproved properties of approximately $19.1 billion and $27.4 billion, respectively, primarily associated with the Permian Basin, DJ Basin, Gulf of Mexico and Powder River Basin. The remaining $2.5 billion in PP&E which consists of non-oil and gas mineral interests and other real estate assets.
From the date of the Acquisition through December 31, 2019, revenues and the net loss attributable to common stockholders associated with the operations acquired through the Acquisition totaled $4.2 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, which includes a charge as a result of recording Occidental’s investment in WES at fair value as of December 31, 2019 upon the loss of control.

The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Acquisition been completed at January 1, 2018, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma information for 2019 and 2018 is a result of combining the statements of operations of Occidental with the pre-Acquisition results from January 1, 2019, and 2018 of Anadarko and included adjustments for revenues and direct expenses. The pro forma results exclude results from the Africa Assets, any cost savings anticipated as a result of the Acquisition and the impact of any Acquisition-related costs. The pro forma results include adjustments to DD&A (depreciation, depletion and amortization) based on the purchase price allocated to property, plant, and equipment and the estimated useful lives as well as adjustments to interest expense. The pro forma adjustments include estimates and assumptions based on currently available information. Management believes the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and the relative effects of the Acquisition are properly reflected.
ANADARKO ACQUISITION-RELATED COSTS
The following table summarizes the Acquisition-related costs incurred for the year ended December 31:
|
| | | | |

|
| Employee severance and related employee cost | | $ | 1,033 |
|
| Licensing fees for critical seismic data | | 401 |
|
| Bank, legal, consulting and other | | 213 |
|
| Total | | $ | 1,647 |
|
Employee severance and related employee cost primarily relates to one-time severance costs and the accelerated vesting of certain Anadarko share-based awards for former Anadarko employees based on the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and existing change of control provisions within the former Anadarko employment agreements. In addition, employee severance and related employee cost included expenses for a voluntary separation program for eligible employees. Occidental initiated this program to align the size and composition of its workforce with its expected future operating and capital plans. Employee notifications related to the voluntary separation program were ongoing at December 31, 2019, with additional expenses associated with the program expected to be incurred through most of 2020. Employees may revoke their participation in the voluntary severance program up to their separation date.
The seismic licensing fees relate to relicensing of critical seismic data related to the Gulf of Mexico, Permian Basin and DJ Basin that Anadarko had licensed from third-party vendors. The third-party vendors who own the seismic data require a transfer fee in order for Occidental to use the data.

OTHER TRANSACTIONS
2019
In December 2019, Occidental disposed of real estate assets for $565 million. Occidental utilized net proceeds to pay down a portion of the Term Loans. Concurrent with the sale, Occidental entered a thirteen-year lease for part of the real estate assets. Based on the terms of the lease, Occidental treated this as a failed sale-leaseback, retained the related book value in property, plant and equipment and recognized a finance lease of approximately $300 million based on the discounted future minimum lease payments.
In November 2019, Occidental and Ecopetrol closed on the joint venture to develop approximately 97,000 net acres of Occidental’s Midland Basin unproved properties in the Permian Basin. Ecopetrol paid $750 million in cash at closing and up to $750 million of carried capital in exchange for a 49% interest in the new venture. Occidental recognized a gain of $563 million on the sale. Following the close, Occidental owned a 51% interest and operates the joint venture. During the carry period, Ecopetrol will pay 75% of Occidental’s share of capital expenditures, up to $750 million. The joint venture allows Occidental to accelerate its development plans in the Midland Basin, where it currently has minimal activity. Occidental will retain production and cash flow from its existing operations in the Midland Basin. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the Term Loans.
In September 2019, Occidental sold its remaining equity investment in Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (together, Plains) for net proceeds of $646 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $114 million. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the Term Loans.
2018
In September 2018, Occidental divested non-core domestic midstream assets for total consideration of $2.6 billion, of which approximately $2.4 billion was received at closing, resulting in a pre-tax net gain of $907 million. These assets include the Centurion common carrier oil pipeline and storage system, Southeast New Mexico oil gathering system, and Ingleside Crude Terminal. Following the transactions, Occidental retained its long-term flow assurance, pipeline takeaway and export capacity through its retained marketing business.
In July 2018, Occidental acquired a previously leased power and steam cogeneration facility for $443 million.
In March 2018, Occidental divested non-core midstream assets for approximately $150 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $43 million.
2017
In the third quarter of 2017, Occidental closed on 2 divestitures of non-core acreage in the Permian Basin for proceeds of approximately $0.6 billion, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $81 million. Concurrently, Occidental purchased additional ownership interests and assumed operatorship in CO2 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) properties located in the Seminole-San Andres Unit for approximately $0.6 billion, which was primarily allocated to proved property. In the fourth quarter of 2017, Occidental sold other non-core proved and unproved acreage in the Permian Basin for approximately $90 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of approximately $55 million. Occidental also classified approximately $0.5 billion in non-core proved and unproved Permian acreage to assets held for sale at December 31, 2017.
In April 2017, Occidental completed the sale of its South Texas operations for net proceeds of $0.5 billion resulting in pre-tax gain of $0.5 billion.

FOOTNOTES

Revenue from customers is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied; this generally occurs with the delivery of oil, NGL, gas, NGL, chemicals or services such as transportation. Revenue from customers is measured as the amount of consideration Occidental expects to receive in exchange for the delivery of goods or services. Contracts may last from one month to one year or more and may have renewal terms that extend indefinitely at the option of either party. Price is typically based on market indexes. Volumes fluctuate due to production and, in certain cases, customer demand and transportation availability. Occidental records revenue net of certain taxes, such as sales taxes, that are assessed by governmental authorities on Occidental’s customers.
Occidental does not incur significant costs to obtain contracts. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expenses. Sales of hydrocarbons and chemicals to customers are invoiced and settled on a monthly basis. Occidental is not usually subject to obligations for warranties, rebates, returns or refunds except in the case of customer incentive payments as discussed for the chemical segment below. Occidental does not typically receive payment in advance of satisfying its obligations under the terms of its sales contracts with customers; therefore, liabilities related to such payment are immaterial to Occidental. Occidental does not disclose consideration for remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less or for variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations.
OIL AND GAS SEGMENT
Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized when production is delivered and control passes to the customer. Revenues from the production of oil and gas properties in which Occidental has an interest with other producers are recognized on the basis of Occidental’s net revenue interest.
CHEMICALSCHEMICAL SEGMENT
Revenue from chemical product sales is recognized when control passes to the customer. Certain incentive programs may provide for payments or credits to be made to customers based on the volume of product purchased over a defined period. Customer incentives are estimated and recorded as a reduction to revenue ratably over the contract period. Such estimates are evaluated and revised as warranted. Revenue from exchange contracts is excluded from revenue from customers.
MARKETINGMIDSTREAM AND MIDSTREAMMARKETING SEGMENT
Revenue from pipeline and gas processing is recognized upon the completion of the transportation or processing service. Revenue from power sales is recognized upon delivery. Net marketing revenue is included in net sales, but excluded from revenue from customers in the table below. Net marketing revenue is recognized upon completion of contract terms that are a prerequisite to payment and upon title transfer for physical deliveries. Unless the normal purchases and sales exception has been elected, net marketing revenue is classified as a derivative, reported on a net basis, recorded at fair value and changesvalue. Changes in fair value are reflected in net sales.

The Zero Coupons have an aggregate principal amount due at the 2036 maturity of approximately $673 million. The Zero Coupons can be put to Occidental in October of each year, in whole or in part, for the then-accreted value of the outstanding Zero Coupons. The Zero Coupons can next be put to Occidental in October 2023, which, if put in whole, would be $344 million at such date. Occidental currently has the ability to meet this obligation and may use available capacity under the RCF to satisfy the put should it be exercised.
FAIR VALUE OF DEBT
Occidental estimates the fair value of fixed-rate debt based on the quoted market prices for those instruments or on quoted market yields for similarly rated debt instruments, taking into account such instruments’ maturities. The estimated fair values of Occidental’s debt as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the majority of which were classified as Level 1, were approximately $17.6 billion and $31.1 billion, respectively. Occidental’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to its variable-rate, long-term debt obligations, and is not material. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, variable-rate debt constituted approximately 0.4% and 0.2% of Occidental’s total debt, respectively.
DEBT RATINGS
As of December 31, 2022, Occidental’s long-term debt was rated BB+ by Fitch Ratings, Ba1 by Moody’s Investors Service and BB+ by Standard and Poor’s. Any downgrade in credit ratings could impact Occidental's ability to access capital markets and increase its cost of capital. In addition, given that Occidental’s current debt ratings are non-investment grade, Occidental may be requested, and in some cases required, to provide collateral in the form of cash, letters of credit, surety bonds or other acceptable support as financial assurance of its performance and payment obligations under certain contractual arrangements such as pipeline transportation contracts, environmental remediation obligations, oil and gas purchase contracts and certain derivative instruments.
As of the date of this filing, Occidental had provided required financial assurances through a combination of cash, letters of credit and surety bonds and had not issued any letters of credit under the RCF or other committed facilities. For additional information, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item IA of this Form 10-K.

DEBT ISSUED AND ASSUMED
On August 8, 2019, Occidental issued $13.0 billion of new senior unsecured notes, consisting of both floating and fixed rate debt. Occidental also borrowed under the Term Loans, which consist of: (1) a 364-day senior unsecured variable-rate term loan tranche of $4.4 billion and (2) a two-year senior unsecured variable-rate term loan tranche of $4.4 billion. In total, the $21.8 billion in debt issued was used to finance part of the cash portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition.
In the Acquisition, Occidental assumed Anadarko debt with an outstanding principal balance of $11.9 billion. In September 2019, Occidental completed its offers to exchange the Anadarko senior notes and debentures assumed as part of the Acquisition for notes of a corresponding series issued by Occidental and cash, and related solicitation of consents. Of the approximately $11.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of Anadarko senior notes and debentures offered in the exchange, 97%, or approximately $11.5 billion, were tendered and accepted in the exchange offers. The portion not exchanged, approximately $400 million, remains outstanding with the original terms.
DEBT REPAYMENT
In 2019, Occidental paid approximately $7.0 billion of long-term debt including a majority of the Term Loans using proceeds from assets sales and available cash.
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
On June 3, 2019,In December 2021, Occidental entered into an amendmentthe Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in which the total committed borrowing capacity of $4.0 billion is based on a SOFR benchmark. The interest rate margin and the facility fee rates are subject to adjustments based on Occidental’s performance on specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to absolute reductions in GHG emissions from its existing $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (Occidental RCF) pursuant to which, among other things, the commitments under the Occidentalworldwide operated assets. The RCF were increased to $5.0 billion at the closing of the Acquisition. maturity date is June 30, 2025.
Borrowings under the Occidental RCF bear interest at variousSOFR benchmark rates, including LIBOR, plus a margin based on Occidental’s senior debt ratings. The facility has similar terms to other debt agreements and does not contain material adverse change clauses or debt ratings triggers that could restrict Occidental’s ability to borrow, or that would permit lenders to terminate their commitments or accelerate debt repayment. The facility provides for the termination of loan commitments and requires immediate repayment of any outstanding amounts if certain events of default occur. As of the date of this filing, Occidental has nothad no drawn down any amounts under the Occidental RCF. In 2019,2022, Occidental paid average annual facility fees of 0.11%0.302% on the total commitment amount.
ZERO COUPON NOTES DUE 2036RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION FACILITY
In December 2021, Occidental amended and extended its existing receivables securitization facility to December 2024. As of December 31, 2022, the facility had $400 million of available borrowing capacity and no drawn amounts. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, but before the date of this filing, Occidental amended the facility to expand its available borrowing capacity to $600 million. The Zero Coupon senior notes due 2036 (Zero Coupons) have an aggregate principal amount due at maturity of approximately $2.3 billion, reflecting an accretion rate of 5.24%. The Zero Coupons can be put to Occidentalamended facility includes adjustments based on the same specified sustainability target thresholds as contained in October of each year, in whole or in part, for the then-accreted value of the outstanding Zero Coupons. The Zero Coupons can next be put to Occidental in October 2020, which, if put in whole, would be $992 million at such date. Occidental has the ability and intent to refinance these obligations using long-term debt should a put be exercised.

DEBT GUARANTEES
As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, Occidental had provided limited recourse guarantees on approximately $242 million and $244 million, respectively, of Dolphin Energy’s debt, which are limited to certain political and other events.
FAIR VALUE OF DEBT
Occidental estimates the fair value of fixed-rate debt based on the quoted market prices for those instruments or on quoted market yields for similarly rated debt instruments, taking into account such instruments’ maturities. The estimated fair values of Occidental’s debt at December 31, 2019, and 2018, substantially all of which were classified as Level 1, were approximately $38.8 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively. Occidental’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to its variable-rate, long-term debt obligations, and is not material. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, variable-rate debt constituted approximately 12% and 1% of Occidental’s total debt, respectively.
DEBT MATURITIES
At December 31, 2019, future principal payments on long-term debt aggregated approximately $37.4 billion, of which, $6.4 billion is due in 2021, $4.7 billion is due in 2022, $1.2 billion is due in 2023, and $25.1 billion is due in 2024 and thereafter.

NOTE 8 - LEASE COMMITMENTS |
On January 1, 2019, Occidental adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach, which provided a method for recording existing leases at adoption and did not require restatement of prior year amounts and disclosures, which continue to be reflected in accordance with ASC 840. Occidental elected certain practical expedients as follows:
Ø Leases that commenced before the effective date carried forward their historical lease classification.
| |
Ø | Existing or expired land easements as of December 31, 2018, were not reassessed to determine whether or not they contained a lease. |
| |
Ø | Leases with a lease term of 12 months or less from lease commencement date are considered short-term leases and not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet; however, the lease expenditures recognized are captured and reported as incurred. |
| |
Ø | For asset classes, except long-term drilling rigs, Occidental elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component as the non-lease portions were not significant to separate in determining the lease liability. For long-term drilling rig contracts, Occidental bifurcated the lease and non-lease components using relative fair value as a stand-alone selling price between the asset rental and the services obtained. |
ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for all long-term leases. A ROU asset represents Occidental’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the associated lease liability represents the discounted obligation of future minimum lease payments. Occidental identifies leases through its accounts payable and contract monitoring process. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The ROU assets include the discounted obligation in addition to any upfront payments or costs incurred during the contract execution of the lease and amortized on a straight-line basis over the course of the lease term. Except for leases with explicitly defined contract terms, Occidental utilizes judgment to assess likelihood of renewals, terminations and purchase options, in order to determine the lease term. Occidental uses the incremental borrowing rate at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate equates to the rate of interest that Occidental would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain leases include variable lease payments which are over and above the minimum lease liability used to derive the ROU asset and lease liability and are based on the underlying asset’s operations. These variable lease costs are reported in the lease cost classification table.
Recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The criteria for distinguishing between finance and operating leases are substantially similar to the criteria under ASC 840. For Occidental operations, adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of $772 million as of January 1, 2019. There was no material impact to net income, cash flows, or stockholders’ equity.
ACQUISITION IMPACT
ASC 805 Business Combinations requires lease-related assets and liabilities acquired to be measured as if the lease were new at the acquisition date. Occidental measured the Anadarko lease agreements using Occidental’s incremental borrowing rates. This resulted in Anadarko assets and lease liabilities of $503 million and $574 million, respectively, excluding the Africa Assets at the Acquisition date, being evaluated and adjusted, as necessary, for above- or below -market impacts. For the leases acquired through the Acquisition, Occidental will retain the previous lease classification.

NATURE OF LEASES
Occidental’s operating lease agreements include leases for oil and gas exploration and development equipment, including offshore and onshore drilling rigs of $217 million, compressors of $162 million and other field equipment of $389 million, which are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and in the lease cost disclosures below. Contract expiration terms generally range from 2 to 9 years. Further, actual expenditures are netted against joint-interest recoveries on the statement of operations through the normal joint-interest billing process. Occidental’s leases also include pipelines, rail cars, storage facilities, easements and real estate of $659 million, which typically are not associated with joint-interest recoveries. Real estate leases have contract expiration terms ranging from 1 to 14 years.
Occidental’s finance lease agreements include leases for oil and gas exploration and development equipment, as well as real estate offices, compressors, and field equipment of approximately $398 million.

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity-price fluctuations, interest rate risks, transportation commitments, and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are purchased or sold to a customer. Occidental occasionally applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecasted sales of its natural gas storage volumes, and at times for other strategies, such as to lock rates on forecasted debt issuances. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for Occidental’s accounting policy on derivatives.
DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
As of December 31, 2019, Occidental’s derivatives not designated as hedges consist of three-way oil collars and call options, interest rate swaps, marketing derivatives and the Warrant.
Derivative instruments that are derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value will impact Occidental’s earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled. The fair value does not reflect the realized or cash value of the instrument.
THREE-WAY OIL COLLARS AND CALL OPTIONS
In 2019, Occidental entered into three-way costless collar derivative instruments for 2020 along with additional call options in 2021 to manage its near-term exposure to cash-flow variability from commodity price risks. A three-way collar is a combination of three options: a sold call, a purchased put and a sold put. The sold call establishes the ceiling price that Occidental will receive for the contracted commodity volume for a defined period of time. The purchased put establishes the floor price that Occidental will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the floor price equals the reference price plus the difference between the purchased put strike price and the sold put strike price for a defined period of time. Occidental entered into the 2021 call options to substantially improve the terms for the ceiling price that Occidental will receive for the contracted commodity volumes in 2020. Net gains and losses associated with collars and calls are recognized currently in net sales.

|
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
Occidental acquired interest rate swap contracts in the Acquisition. The contracts lock in a fixed interest rate in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) throughout the reference period. Occidental also acquired interest rate swap contracts held by WES, which were settled as of December 31, 2019. Net gains and losses associated with interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in gains (losses) on interest rate swaps and warrants, net.

| | | September 2017 - 2047 | | September 2023 | | 6.445 | % |
Depending on market conditions, liability management actions or other factors, Occidental may enter into offsetting interest rate swap positions or settle or amend certain or all of the currently outstanding interest rate swaps. Occidental settled interest rate swaps with a notional value of $125 million in October 2019. In January and February 2020, Occidental extended September 2020 mandatory termination dates to September 2021 and September 2022 for swaps with a notional value of $500 million and $150 million, respectively.
Derivative settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from operating activities unless the derivatives contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case the settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from financing activities. Due to the liability position of the interest rate derivatives at the date of the Acquisition, the interest rate derivatives in Occidental’s portfolio contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, and therefore, any settlements, collateralization or cash payments related to interest rate derivatives are classified as cash flow from financing activities. Net cash receipts related to settlements, and collateralization of interest rate swap agreements were $120 million during the period from August 8, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
MARKETING DERIVATIVES
Occidental’s marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedges are physical and financial forward contracts which typically settle within three months. A substantial majority of Occidental’s physically settled derivative contracts are index-based and carry no mark-to-market valuation in earnings. These instruments settle at a weighted-average contract price of $60.60 per barrel and $2.17 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for oil and natural gas, respectively, at December 31, 2019. The weighted-average contract price was $58.81 per barrel and $3.18 per Mcf for oil and natural gas, respectively, at December 31, 2018. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in net sales.

THE WARRANT
The Warrant issued with the Preferred Stock in connection with the Acquisition is exercisable at the holder’s option, in whole or in part, until the first anniversary of the date on which no shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding at which point the Warrant expires. The holder of the Warrant may require net cash settlement if certain shareholder and regulatory approvals to issue Occidental common stock are not obtained on a timely basis. The initial fair value of the Warrant, $188 million, was measured at the date of the Acquisition using the Black Scholes option model. The following inputs were used in the Black Scholes option model: the expected life is based on the estimated term of the Warrant, the volatility factor is based on historical volatilities of Occidental common stock, and the call option price for Occidental common stock at $62.50. The fair value of the Warrant is remeasured each reporting period based on changes in the inputs above.
DERIVATIVES DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
Net gains and losses attributable to derivative instruments subject to cash flow hedge accounting reside in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified to earnings as the transactions to which the derivatives relate are recognized in earnings.

CASH FLOW HEDGES
Occidental’s marketing operations store natural gas purchased from third parties at Occidental’s leased storage facilities. Occidental occasionally elects cash flow hedge accounting for derivative instruments which are used to fix margins on the future sales of the stored volumes. The amount of cash flow hedges related to stored gas, including the ineffective portion, was immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2019, and 2018.
In June 2019, in anticipation of issuing debt in the third quarter to partially finance the cash portion of the Acquisition consideration, Occidental entered into a series of U.S. treasury locks which were designated as cash flow hedges. In August 2019, the U.S. treasury locks were unwound with the issuance of the $13.0 billion new senior unsecured notes, and the resulting after-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss of $125 million will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying senior notes.
FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES
Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the inputs to the valuation techniques: Level 1 – using quoted prices in active markets for the assets or liabilities; Level 2 – using observable inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 – using unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels, if any, are reported at the end of each reporting period. The following table presents the fair values of Occidental’s outstanding derivatives. Fair values are presented at gross amounts below, including when derivatives are subject to netting arrangements, and are presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

CREDIT RISK
The majority of Occidental’s counterparty credit risk is related to the physical delivery of energy commodities to its customers and their inability to meet their settlement commitments. Occidental manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with counterparties and by requiring collateral or other credit risk mitigants, as appropriate. Occidental actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits, and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. Occidental also enters into future contracts through regulated exchanges with select clearinghouses and brokers, which are subject to minimal credit risk as a significant portion of these transactions settle on a daily margin basis.
Certain of Occidental’s OTC derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each party would need to post. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-contingent features for which a net liability position existed at December 31, 2019 was $787 million (net of $169 million collateral), primarily related to acquired interest-rate swaps, and $68 million (net of $1 million of collateral) existed at December 31, 2018.

NOTE 107 - ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURESLEASE COMMITMENTS |
Occidental identifies leases through its accounts payable and contract monitoring processes. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease assets include the lease liability, upfront payments and costs incurred to execute the lease and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Occidental assesses the likelihood of exercising renewal, termination and purchase options to determine the lease term. Occidental uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that Occidental would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term on a collateralized basis in a similar economic environment. Certain leases include variable lease payments based on the underlying asset’s operations that are not included in the lease asset and liability.
Occidental has operating leases for oil and gas exploration and development equipment, including office space of $352 million, offshore and onshore drilling rigs of $169 million, compressors of $113 million and $60 million consisting of storage facilities and other field equipment. Operating lease terms generally range from one to eight years. Operating leases also include pipelines, rail cars, easements, aircraft and real estate of $236 million. These operating leases have contract expiration terms ranging from one to 10 years.
Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, localfinance leases include compressors of $378 million, real estate offices of $266 million and international laws$45 million consisting of drilling rigs, vehicles and regulations related to improving or maintaining environmental quality. aircraft leases.
The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including CERCLAfollowing table presents lease balances and similar federal, state, local and international laws, may apply retroactively and regardlesstheir classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. OPC or certain of its subsidiaries participate in or actively monitor a range of remedial activities and government or private proceedings under these laws with respect to alleged past practices at operating, closed and third-party sites. Remedial activities may include one or more of the following: investigation involving sampling, modeling, risk assessment or monitoring; cleanup measures including removal, treatment or disposal; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. The environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs.December 31:

(b)Included short-term lease cost of December 31, 2019, Occidental’s environmental liabilities exceeded $10 million each at 20 of the 177 sites described above, and 101 of the sites had liabilities from $0 to $1 million each. As of December 31, 2019, 3 sites — the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site and a former chemical plant in Ohio (both of which are indemnified by Maxus Energy Corporation, as discussed further below), and a landfill in Western New York — accounted for 94 percent of its liabilities associated with NPL sites. NaN of the 36 NPL sites are indemnified by Maxus.
NaN of the 74 third-party sites — a Maxus-indemnified chrome site in New Jersey, a former copper mining and smelting operation in Tennessee, a former oil field, a landfill and a chemical plant in California, and an active refinery in Louisiana where Occidental reimburses the current owner for certain remediation activities — accounted for 75 percent of Occidental’s liabilities associated with these sites. NaN of the 74 third-party sites are indemnified by Maxus.
NaN sites — oil and gas operations in Colorado and chemical plants in Kansas, Louisiana, New York and Texas — accounted for 67 percent of the liabilities associated with the Occidental-operated sites.
NaN other sites — a landfill in Western New York, a former refinery in Oklahoma, former chemical plants in California, Tennessee and Washington, and a closed coal mine in Pennsylvania — accounted for 64 percent of the liabilities associated with closed or non-operated Occidental sites.
Environmental remediation liabilities vary over time depending on factors such as acquisitions or dispositions, identification of additional sites and remedy selection and implementation. Occidental recorded environmental remediation expenses of $112 million, $47$184 million and $39$238 million and variable lease cost of $101 million and $120 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 20182022 and 2017,2021, respectively. Environmental remediation expenses primarily relate to changes to existing conditions from past operations. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately 40 percent of the year-end remediation balance over the next three to four years with the remainder over the subsequent 10 or more years. Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those amounts currently recorded
The following tables present Occidental’s total cash paid for environmental remediation for all of its environmental sites could be up to $1.1 billion.
MAXUS ENVIRONMENTAL SITES
When Occidental acquired Diamond Shamrock Chemicals Company (DSCC) in 1986, Maxus, a subsidiary of YPF S.A. (YPF), agreed to indemnify Occidental for a number of environmental sites, including the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site (Site) along a portion of the Passaic River. On June 17, 2016, Maxusoperating and several affiliated companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Federal District Court in the State of Delaware. Prior to filing for bankruptcy, Maxus defended and indemnified Occidental in connection with clean-up and other costs associated with the sites subject to the indemnity, including the Site.
In March 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) specifying remedial actions requiredfinance lease liabilities for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River. The ROD does not address any potential remedial action for the upper 9 miles of the Lower Passaic River or Newark Bay. During the third quarter of 2016, and following Maxus’s bankruptcy filing, Occidental and the EPA entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to complete the design of the proposed clean-up plan outlined in the ROD at an estimated cost of $165 million. The EPA announced that it will pursue similar agreements with other potentially responsible parties.years ended December 31
Occidental has accrued a remediation liability relating to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the design and the remediation called for in the AOC and the ROD, as well as for certain other Maxus-indemnified sites. Occidental’s accrued estimated environmental remediation liability does not consider any recoveries for indemnified costs. Occidental’s ultimate share of the estimated costs may be higher or lower than its accrued remediation liability, and is subject to final design plans and the resolution with other potentially responsible parties. Occidental continues to evaluate the costs to be incurred to comply with the AOC, the ROD and to perform remediation at other Maxus-indemnified sites in light of the Maxus bankruptcy and the share of ultimate liability of other potentially responsible parties. In June 2018, Occidental filed a complaint under CERCLA in Federal District Court in the State of New Jersey against numerous potentially responsible parties for reimbursement of amounts incurred or to be incurred to comply with the AOC, the ROD or to perform other remediation activities at the Site.
In June 2017, the court overseeing the Maxus bankruptcy approved a Plan of Liquidation (Plan) to liquidate Maxus and create a trust to pursue claims against YPF, Repsol and others to satisfy claims by Occidental and other creditors for past and future cleanup and other costs. In July 2017, the court-approved Plan became final and the trust became effective. Among other responsibilities, the trust will pursue claims against YPF, Repsol and others and distribute assets to Maxus’ creditors in accordance with the trust agreement and Plan. In June 2018, the trust filed its complaint against YPF and Repsol in Delaware bankruptcy court asserting claims based upon, among other things, fraudulent transfer and alter ego. On February 15, 2019, the bankruptcy court denied Repsol’s and YPF’s motions to dismiss the complaint.

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, transportation commitments and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty.
Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are purchased or sold to a customer. Occidental occasionally applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecasted sales of its natural gas storage volumes. The value of cash flow hedges was insignificant for all periods presented. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for Occidental’s accounting policy on derivatives.
DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
As of December 31, 2022, Occidental’s derivatives not designated as hedges consisted of marketing derivatives. All interest rate swaps were settled prior to December 31, 2022.
Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value will impact Occidental’s earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled.
MARKETING DERIVATIVES
Occidental’s marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedges are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. A substantial majority of Occidental’s physically settled derivative contracts are index-based and carry no mark-to-market valuation in earnings. As of December 31, 2022, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was $81.37/Bbl and $7.89/Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was $74.85/Bbl and $4.61/Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in net sales.
The following table summarizes net short volumes associated with the outstanding marketing commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of December 31:

| Volume (Bcf) | | (112) | | | (136) | |
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
Occidental retired all remaining outstanding interest rate swaps in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022. Occidental's interest rate swap contracts locked in a fixed interest rate in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR throughout the reference period. Net gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps and warrants, were recognized currently in gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Interest rate swaps and collateralization are classified as cash flows from financing activities. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the interest rate swaps were terminated through the application of $144 million of collateral and cash payments of $255 million. Prior to termination, Occidental paid $35 million of periodic settlements and $179 million of collateral was returned.
FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES
Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the inputs to the valuation techniques: Level 1 – using quoted prices in active markets for the assets or liabilities; Level 2 – using observable inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 – using unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels, if any, are reported at the end of each reporting period. The following table presents the fair values of Occidental’s outstanding derivatives. Fair values are presented at gross amounts below, including when derivatives are subject to netting arrangements, and are presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

LEGAL MATTERS
(a)These amounts do not include collateral. As of December 31, 2021, $323 million of collateral related to interest rate swaps had been netted against derivative liabilities. Occidental or certainnetted $15 million and $110 million of its subsidiaries are involved, in the normal course of business, in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries also are involved in proceedings under Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties and injunctive relief. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and havecollateral deposited with brokers against derivative liabilities related to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. Further, some lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third party or Occidental retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Occidental accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for matters, other than for environmental remediation, that satisfy this criteriamarketing derivatives as of December 31, 2019,2022, and December 31, 2018, were not material2021, respectively.

CREDIT RISK
The majority of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In the complaint, the Icahn Complainants noted that they had accumulated over $1.6 billion of Occidental Common Stock. On June 14, 2019, Occidental filed an answerOccidental’s counterparty credit risk is related to the complaint inphysical delivery of energy commodities to its customers and their inability to meet their settlement commitments. Occidental manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with counterparties and by requiring collateral or other credit risk mitigants, as appropriate. Occidental actively evaluates the Courtcreditworthiness of Chancery of the State of Delaware. A trial was held on September 20, 2019,its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits and the court dismissed the Icahn Complaint. The Icahn Complainants appealedmonitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. Occidental also enters into futures contracts through regulated exchanges with select clearinghouses and oral arguments occurred in February 2020.brokers, which are subject to minimal credit risk, if any.
In 2016, Occidental received payments from the Republic of Ecuador of approximately $1.0 billion pursuant to a November 2015 arbitration award for Ecuador’s 2006 expropriationCertain of Occidental’s Participation ContractOTC derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Block 15.Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each party would need to post. The awarded amount represented a recovery of 60 percent of theaggregate fair value of Block 15. In 2017, Andes Petroleum Ecuador Ltd. (Andes) filedderivative instruments with credit-risk-contingent features for which a demand for arbitration, claiming it is entitled to a 40 percent share of the judgment amount obtained by Occidental. Occidental contends that Andes is not entitled to any of the amounts paid under the 2015 arbitration award because Occidental’s recovery was limited to Occidental’s own 60 percent economic interest in the block. The merits hearing is scheduled for May 2020. Occidental intends to vigorously defend against this claim in arbitration.
The ultimate outcome and impact of outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings on Occidental cannot be predicted. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. If unfavorable outcomes of these matters were to occur, future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Occidental’s estimates are based on information known about the legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Occidental reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.
TAX MATTERS
During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. Taxable years through 2016 for U.S. federal income tax purposes have been audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program and subsequent taxable years are currently under review. Taxable years through 2009 have been audited for state income tax purposes. While a single foreign tax jurisdiction is open for 2002, all other significant audit matters in foreign jurisdictions have been resolved through 2010. During the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law. Occidental believes that the resolution of outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financialnet liability position or results of operations.
For Anadarko, its taxable years through 2016 for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes have been audited by the IRS and respective state taxing authorities. There are outstanding significant audit matters in one foreign jurisdiction. During the course of the tax audit, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law. Other than the matter discussed below, Occidental believes that the resolution of these outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Anadarko received an $881 million tentative refund in 2016 related to its $5.2 billion Tronox settlement payment in 2015. In September 2018, Anadarko received a statutory notice of deficiency from the IRS disallowing the net operating loss carryback and rejecting Anadarko’s refund claim. As a result, Anadarko filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court to dispute the disallowances in November 2018. The case is currently in the IRS appeals process. If the matter is not resolved in the IRS appeals process, Occidental expects to continue pursuing resolution in the U.S. Tax Court.
While Occidental believes it is entitled to this refund, in accordance with ASC 740’s guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions,existed as of December 31, 2019, Occidental has recorded no tax benefit on the tentative cash tax refund2022 was $18 million. The aggregate fair value of

FAIR VALUES – NONRECURRING
There were no significant non-recurring fair value measurements during the year ended December 31, 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Occidental recorded pre-tax impairments of $276 million related to undeveloped leases that either expired or were set to expire in the near-term, where Occidental had no plans to pursue exploration activities.
The table below summarizes the significant impairments and other charges incurred to measure assets to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis throughout the year ended December 31, 2020:

GOODWILL
In the first quarter of 2020, Occidental impaired $1.2 billion in goodwill related to Occidental’s ownership in WES, which was previously included in long-term receivables and other assets, net. The market value of WES’ publicly traded units is considered a Level 1 input.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
In the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the expected prolonged period of lower commodity prices brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on oil demand, Occidental tested substantially all of its oil and gas assets for impairment. Occidental recognized total pre-tax impairments to its oil and gas proved and unproved properties of $8.6 billion, of which $6.4 billion was included in oil and gas segment results and $2.2 billion ($1.4 billion net of tax) related to Ghana was included in discontinued operations.
In the second quarter of 2020, Occidental recorded proved property pre-tax impairments of $1.2 billion primarily related to certain assets for its domestic onshore and Gulf of Mexico assets and $0.9 billion to adjust the Algeria oil and gas proved properties to their fair value. The fair value of the proved properties was measured based on the income approach.
Unproved property pre-tax impairments of $4.3 billion were primarily related to domestic onshore unproved acreage. The fair value of this acreage was measured based on a market approach using an implied acreage valuation derived from domestic onshore market participants excluding the fair value assigned to proved properties.
Income approaches are considered Level 3 fair value estimates and include significant assumptions of future production and timing of production, commodity price assumptions and operating and capital cost estimates, discounted using a 10 percent weighted average cost of capital. Taxes were based on current statutory rates. Future production and timing of production is based on internal reserves estimates and internal economic models for a specific oil and gas asset. Internal reserve estimates consist of proved reserves and unproved reserves, the latter adjusted for uncertainty based on reserve category. Price assumptions were based on a combination of market information and published industry resources adjusted for historical differentials. Price assumptions ranged from approximately $40 per barrel of oil in 2020 increasing to approximately $70 per barrel of oil in 2034, with an unweighted arithmetic average price of $59.17 and $62.42 for WTI and Brent indexed assets for the 15 year period, respectively. Natural gas prices ranged from approximately $2.00 per Mcf in 2020 to approximately $3.60 per Mcf in 2034, with an unweighted arithmetic average price of $3.13 for NYMEX based assets for the 15 year period. Both oil and natural gas commodity prices were held flat after 2034 and were adjusted for location and quality differentials. Operating and capital cost estimates were based on current observable costs and were further escalated 1 percent in every period where commodity prices exceeded $50 per barrel and 2 percent in every period where commodity prices exceeded $60 per barrel. The weighted average cost of capital is calculated based on industry peers and best approximates the cost of capital an external market participant would expect to obtain.
In the first quarter of 2020, Occidental's oil and gas segment recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $581 million primarily related to both proved and unproved oil and gas properties and a lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment for crude inventory. Occidental recorded proved property impairments of $293 million related to certain international assets and the Gulf of Mexico. Occidental recorded unproved property impairments, of approximately $241 million, primarily related to domestic onshore undeveloped leases and offshore Gulf of Mexico where Occidental no

If there is an adverse downturn of the macroeconomic conditions and if such downturn is expected to or does persist for a prolonged period of time, Occidental’s oil and gas properties may be subject to further testing for impairment, which could result in additional non-cash asset impairments. Such impairments could be material to the financial statements.
$881 million.
WES EQUITY INVESTMENT
At the end of the third quarter of 2020, Occidental recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of $2.7 billion, as the fair value of Occidental’s investment in WES had remained significantly lower than its book value for the majority of the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Occidental concluded that the difference between the fair value and book value of WES was not temporary, primarily given both the magnitude and the duration that the fair value was below its book value. This other-than-temporary impairment was calculated based on the closing market price of WES as of September 30, 2020. The market value of WES’ publicly traded common units is considered a Level 1 input.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and other on-balance sheet financial instruments, other than fixed-rate debt, approximate fair value. See Note 6 - Long-Term Debt for the fair value of long-term debt.
LEGAL ENTITY REORGANIZATION
To align Occidental’s legal entity structure with the nature of its business activities after completing the acquisition of Anadarko and subsequent large scale post-acquisition divestiture program, management undertook a legal entity reorganization that was completed in the first quarter of 2022.
As a result shouldof this legal entity reorganization, management made an adjustment to the tax basis in a portion of its operating assets, thus reducing Occidental’s deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, in 2022, Occidental not ultimately prevail on the issue, there would be no additionalrecorded a tax expense recorded for financial statement purposes other than future interest. However, in that event Occidental would be required to repay approximately $925 million ($898 million federal and $27 million in state taxes) plus accrued interestbenefit of approximately $189 million. As a result, a liability for this amount has been recorded in deferred credits and other liabilities - other at December 31, 2019.
INDEMNITIES TO THIRD PARTIES
Occidental, its subsidiaries, or both, have indemnified various parties against specified liabilities those parties might incur in the future$2.7 billion in connection with purchasesthis reorganization. The timing of any reduction in Occidental’s future cash taxes as a result of this legal entity reorganization will be dependent on a number of factors, including prevailing commodity prices, capital activity level and production mix. The legal entity reorganization transaction is currently under IRS review as part of the Company’s 2022 federal tax audit.
INFLATION REDUCTION ACT
In August 2022, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act that contains, among other transactions that they have entered into with Occidental. These indemnities usually are contingent upon the other party incurring liabilities that reach specified thresholds. As of December 31, 2019,provisions, a corporate book minimum tax on financial statement income, an excise tax on stock buybacks, a methane emissions fee and certain tax incentives related to climate change and clean energy. Occidental is not awarecurrently evaluating the provisions of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expectedthis act. The ultimate impact of the Inflation Reduction Act to lead to indemnity claims that would result in payments materially in excessOccidental will depend on a number of reserves.
PURCHASE OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
Occidental, its subsidiaries, or both, have entered into agreements providing forfactors including future payments to secure terminalcommodity prices, interpretations and pipeline capacity, drilling rigs and services, electrical power, steam and certain chemical raw materials. Occidental has certain other commitments under contracts, guarantees and joint ventures, including purchase commitments for goods and services at market-related prices and certain other contingent liabilities. At December 31, 2019, total purchase obligations were $20.7 billion, which included approximately $3.3 billion in 2020, $5.7 billion in 2021 and 2022, $4.7 billion in 2023 and 2024, and $7.1 billion in 2025 and thereafter.

The December 31, 20192022 balance of unrecognized tax benefits of $2.2$2.0 billion included potential benefits of $2.0 billion of which, if recognized, $1.7$1.5 billion would affect the effective tax rate on income. Also included arewere benefits of $131$45 million related to tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but the timing of such deductibility is uncertain. Unrecognized tax benefits are included in deferred credits and other liabilities - other. Occidental records estimated potential interest and penalties related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits in the provisions for domestic and foreign income taxes. The Company accrued approximately $199 million of interest related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019. During 2019,2022, Occidental recorded interest related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $30 million.$95 million, for a cumulative accrued interest related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $416 million as of December 31, 2022. There were 0 interest andno penalties associated with liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits recorded for the years ended December 31, 20182022 and 2017.2021. Over the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by $100$50 million to $110$60 million due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapselapses in statutes of limitation.

NOTE 1311 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITYRETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS |
Occidental has various defined contribution and defined benefit plans for its salaried, domestic union and nonunion hourly and certain foreign national employees. In addition, Occidental also provides medical and other benefits for certain active, retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents.
In 2021, Occidental settled a significant portion of retiree liability through an annuity purchase. This annuity purchase applied to participants in certain defined benefit plans. The followingimpact of this settlement transaction was approximately $109 million and is reflected in the December 31, 2021 projected benefit obligation.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
All domestic employees and certain foreign national employees are eligible to participate in one or more of the defined contribution retirement or savings plans that provide for periodic contributions by Occidental based on plan-specific criteria, such as base pay, level and employee contributions. Certain salaried employees participate in a summarysupplemental retirement plan that restores benefits lost due to governmental limitations on qualified retirement benefits. The accrued liabilities for the supplemental retirement plan were $288 million and $249 million as of common stock issuances:December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Occidental expensed $202 million in 2022, $166 million in 2021 and $192 million in 2020 under the provisions of these defined contribution and supplemental retirement plans.
DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
Participation in defined benefit plans is limited. Approximately 400 domestic and 300 foreign national employees, mainly union, nonunion hourly and certain employees that joined Occidental from acquired operations with grandfathered benefits, are currently accruing benefits under these plans.
Pension costs for Occidental’s defined benefit pension plans, determined by independent actuarial valuations, are generally funded by payments to trust funds, which are administered by independent trustees.
POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
Occidental provides medical and dental benefits and life insurance coverage for certain active, retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents. Occidental generally funds the benefits as they are paid during the year. These benefit costs, including the postretirement costs for the years ended December 31, were $211 million in 2022, $211 million in 2021 and $235 million in 2020.

TREASURY STOCK
The total number of shares authorized for Occidental’s share repurchase program is 185 million shares of which 44.2 million may yet be purchased under the repurchase program. However, the program does not obligate Occidental to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. In 2019, 2.7 million shares were purchased at an average price of $66.94 under the program and in 2018, 16.9 million shares were purchased at an average price of $74.92. NaN shares were purchased under the program in 2017. Additionally, Occidental purchased shares from the trustee of its defined contribution savings plan during each year. As of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, treasury stock shares numbered 150.3 million, 145.7 million, and 128.4 million, respectively.
PREFERRED STOCK
Occidental has authorized 50 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share. On August 8, 2019, in connection with the Acquisition, Occidental issued 100,000 shares of series A preferred stock (the Preferred Stock), having a face value of $100,000 per share and a liquidation preference of $105,000 per share plus unpaid accrued dividends. In connection with the preferred stock issuance, Occidental also issued the Warrant. The holder of the Warrant and the Preferred Stock may redeem the Preferred Stock as payment for the exercise price of the Warrant in lieu of cash payment upon exercise. The Preferred Stock is redeemable at Occidental’s option after the 10th anniversary of issuance. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue on the face value at a rate per annum of 8 percent, but will be paid only when, as, and if declared by Occidental’s Board of Directors. At any time, when such dividends have not been paid in full, the unpaid amounts will accrue dividends, compounded quarterly, at a rate per annum of 9 percent. Following the payment in full of any accrued but unpaid dividends, the dividend rate will remain at 9 percent per annum. In January 2020, Occidental paid $200 million in Preferred Stock dividends. At December 31, 2019, Occidental had 100,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, and none were outstanding in 2018 and 2017.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The following table sets forth the weighted-average assumptions used to determine Occidental’s benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost for domestic plans for the years ended December 31:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | Pension Benefits | | Postretirement Benefits |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2022 | | 2021 |
| Benefit Obligation Assumptions: | | | | | | | | |
| Discount rate | | 5.27 | % | | 2.67 | % | | 5.43 | % | | 2.94 | % |
| Rate of increase in compensation levels | | 3.95 | % | | 3.98 | % | | — | | | — | |
| Net Periodic Benefit Cost Assumptions: | | | | | | | | |
| Discount rate | | 2.65 | % | | 2.19 | % | | 2.94 | % | | 3.05 | % |
| Rate of increase in compensation levels | | 3.98 | % | | 5.07 | % | | — | | | — | |
| Assumed long-term rate of return on assets | | 4.36 | % | | 4.92 | % | | — | | | — | |
For domestic pension plans and postretirement benefit plans, Occidental based the discount rate on a AA-AAA Universe yield curve in 2022 and 2021. The assumed long-term rate of return on assets is estimated with regard to current market factors but within the context of historical returns for the asset mix that exists at year end. Assumed rates of compensation increases for active participants in certain plans and vary by age group.
| | | | | | | | |
| | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
In 2021, Occidental adopted the Society of Actuaries Pri-2012 Private Retirement Plans Mortality Tables with MP-2021 Mortality Improvement Scale, which updated the mortality assumptions that private defined-benefit plans in the United States use in the actuarial valuations that determine a plan sponsor’s pension obligations. The new mortality assumption reflects additional data that the Social Security Administration has released since the previous mortality tables and improvement scales were released.
The postretirement benefit obligation was determined by application of the terms of medical and dental benefits and life insurance coverage, including the effect of established maximums on covered costs, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates. Health care cost trend rates for medicare advantaged prescription drug plans of 9.2% starting in 2022, then grading down to 4.5% in 2028 and beyond. Health care cost trend rates used for non-medicare advantaged prescription drug plans are 6.0% to 6.5% in 2022, then grading down to 4.5% in 2028 and beyond.
The actuarial assumptions used could change in the near-term as a result of changes in expected future trends and other factors that, depending on the nature of the changes, could cause increases or decreases in the plan assets and liabilities.
FAIR VALUE OF PENSION PLAN ASSETS
Qualified defined benefit plan assets are monitored by Occidental’s Pension and Retirement Trust and Investment Committee in its role as a fiduciary. The Investment Committee selects and employs various external professional investment management firms to manage specific investments across the spectrum of asset classes. The Investment Committee employs a liability driven investment approach that uses a diversified blend of investments (equity securities, fixed-income securities, and alternative investments) along a glide path to optimize the long-term return of plan assets relative to plan liabilities, at a prudent level of risk. Equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as differing styles and market capitalizations. Investment performance is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio and manager guideline compliance reviews, annual liability measurements and periodic studies.
The fair values of Occidental’s pension plan assets by asset category were as follows:

As of December 31, 2019, approximately 52.5 million shares were available for grants2022, certain Occidental subsidiaries participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 162 sites. The following table presents the current and non-current environmental remediation liabilities of future awards. The plan requires each share covered by an award (other than options) to be countedsuch subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as if 3 shares were issued in determiningof December 31, 2022 and 2021, the number of shares that are available for future awards. Accordingly, the number of shares available for future awards may be less than 52.5 million depending on the type of award granted, and shares available for future awards may increase by the number of shares that are forfeited, canceled, or correspond to thecurrent portion of any stock-based awards settledwhich is included in cash, including awards that were issued under a previous plan that remain outstanding. Current outstanding awards include RSUs, stock options, CROCEIs, and TSRIs.
During 2019, non-employee directors were granted awards for 41,752 shares of common stock. Compensation expense for these awards was measured using the closing quoted market price of Occidental’s common stock on the grant date and was fully recognized at that time.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, Occidental incurred expenses of $208 million related to stock-based incentive plans, of which $31 million was related to the Acquisition. For the years ended December 31, 2018, and 2017, expense related to stock-based incentive plans was $180 million, and $150 million, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with this expense was $43 million, $47 million, and $32accrued liabilities ($141 million in 2022 and $155 million in 2021) and the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,remainder in deferred credits and 2017, respectively.other liabilities - environmental remediation liabilities ($0.9 billion in 2022 and $0.9 billion in 2021).

RSUs
Certain employees are awarded the right to receive RSUs, some of which have performance criteria, and are in the form of, or equivalent in value to, actual shares2022, environmental remediation liabilities of Occidental common stock. Depending on their terms, RSUs may be settled in stock or may be cash settled liabilities.

TSRIs
Certain executives are awarded TSRIs that vest at the end of a three-year period following the grant date. Payout is based upon Occidental’s absolute total shareholder return and performance relative to its peers. TSRIs have payouts that range from 0% to 200% of the target award and settle in stock once certified. Dividend equivalents for TSRIs are accumulated and paid upon certification of the award. The fair value of TSRIs settled in shares during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $4 million, $12 million, and $5 million, respectively.

The fair valuesconsolidated estimate of TSRIs are initially determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on Occidental’s assumptions, notedenvironmental remediation liabilities in the following table above varies over time depending on factors such as acquisitions or divestitures, identification of additional sites, remedy selection and the volatility from corresponding peer group companies. The expected life is based on the vesting period (Term). The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on zero coupon T-notes (U.S. Treasury Strip) at the time of grant with a remaining term equal to the Term. The dividend yield is the expected annual dividend yield over the Term, expressed as a percentage of the stock price on the grant date. Estimates of fair value may not accurately predict the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive the awards, and the ultimate value may not be indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by Occidental.

STOCK OPTIONS
Certain employees have been granted options that are settled in stock. Exercise pricesapplicable laws or regulations, among other factors. Occidental’s subsidiaries recorded environmental remediation expenses of the options were equal to the quoted market value of Occidental’s stock on the grant date. NaN options were granted, vested or forfeited in 2019. The intrinsic value of options exercised during$65 million, $28 million and $36 million for the years ended December 31, 2019,2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, on a consolidated basis. Environmental remediation expenses primarily relate to changes to existing conditions from past operations. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects its subsidiaries to expend funds corresponding to approximately 40% of the year-end remediation balance over the next three to four years with the remainder over the subsequent 10 or more years.
Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional losses of its subsidiaries beyond those amounts currently recorded for environmental remediation for the 162 environmental sites in the table above could be up to $2.7 billion.
MAXUS ENVIRONMENTAL SITES
A significant portion of aggregate estimates of environmental remediation liabilities and reasonably possible additional losses described above relates to the former Diamond Alkali Chemicals Company (DSCC). When OxyChem acquired DSCC in 1986, Maxus agreed to indemnify OxyChem for a number of environmental sites, including the DASS. In June 2016, Maxus and several affiliated companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Prior to filing for bankruptcy, Maxus defended and indemnified OxyChem in connection with remediation costs and other liabilities associated with the sites subject to the indemnity. Any additional recovery of indemnified costs would come from the proceeds of litigation brought by the Maxus Liquidating Trust. For additional information on the Maxus Liquidating Trust, see Note 13 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies.
DIAMOND ALKALI SUPERFUND SITE
The EPA has organized the DASS into four Operable Units (OUs) for evaluating, selecting and implementing remediation under CERCLA. OxyChem’s current activities in each OU are summarized below, many of which are performed on OxyChem’s behalf by Glenn Springs Holdings, Inc.
OU1 – The Former Diamond Alkali Plant at 80-120 Lister Avenue in Newark: Maxus and its affiliates implemented an interim remedy of OU1 pursuant to a 1990 Consent Decree, for which OxyChem currently performs maintenance and monitoring. The EPA is conducting a periodic evaluation of the interim remedy for OU1.
OU2 – The Lower 8.3 Miles of the Lower Passaic River: In March 2016, the EPA issued a Record of Decision (ROD) specifying remedial actions required for OU2. During the third quarter of 2016, and following Maxus’s bankruptcy filing, OxyChem and the EPA entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to complete the design of the remedy selected in the ROD. At that time, the EPA sent notice letters to approximately 100 parties notifying them that they were potentially responsible to pay the costs to implement the remedy in OU2 and announced that it would pursue similar agreements with other potentially responsible parties. In June 2018, OxyChem filed a complaint under CERCLA in Federal District Court in the State of New Jersey against numerous potentially responsible parties seeking contribution and 2017cost recovery of amounts incurred or to be incurred to comply with the AOC and the OU2 ROD, or to perform other remediation activities related to the DASS. That action remains pending and the District Court has not adjudicated OxyChem’s relative share of responsibility for those costs. The EPA has estimated the cost to remediate OU2 to be approximately $1.4 billion.
OU3 – Newark Bay Study Area, including Newark Bay and Portions of the Hackensack River, Arthur Kill, and Kill van Kull: Maxus and its affiliates initiated a remedial investigation and feasibility study of OU3 pursuant to a 2004 AOC which was insignificant. Asamended in 2010. OxyChem is currently performing feasibility study activities in OU3.
OU4 – The 17-mile Lower Passaic River Study Area, comprising OU2 and the Upper 9 Miles of December 31, 2019, there were 530,000 fully vested options outstanding withthe Lower Passaic River: In September 2021, the EPA issued a ROD selecting an exercise priceinterim remedy for the portion of $79.98 per shareOU4 that excludes OU2, and is located upstream from the Lister Avenue Plant site for which OxyChem inherited legal responsibility. The EPA had estimated the cost to remediate OU4 to be approximately $440 million. At this time, OxyChem's role or responsibilities under the OU4 ROD, and those of other potentially responsible parties, have not been adjudicated. To provide continued, efficient remediation progress, in January 2022, OxyChem offered to design and implement the interim remedy for OU4 subject to certain conditions, including a remaining lifecondition that the EPA would not seek to bar OxyChem’s right to seek contribution or cost recovery from any other parties that are potentially responsible to pay for the OU4 interim remedy. In March 2022, the EPA sent a notice letter to OxyChem and other parties requesting good faith offers to implement the selected remedies at OU2 and OU4. OxyChem submitted a good faith offer in June 2022, reaffirming the offer to design the remedy for OU4 and offering to enter into additional sequential agreements to remediate OU2 and OU4, subject to similar conditions, including that the EPA not seek to bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution or cost recovery from other responsible parties. The EPA did not accept OxyChem's June 2022 offer and, as such, OxyChem believes that the EPA may issue a Unilateral Administrative Order or commence CERCLA litigation against it, and potentially other parties, to require further design and/or implementation activities of 2.1 years.
CROCEI, ROCEI and ROAI
Certain executives are awarded CROCEI, ROCEI or ROAI awards that vestthe EPA’s selected remedies at the end of a three-year period if performance targets based on cash return on capital employed, return on capital employed, or return on assets are certified as being met. These awards are settled in stock upon certification of the performance target, with payouts that range from 0% to 200% of the target award. Dividend equivalents are accumulated and paid upon certification of the award.DASS.

ALDEN LEEDS LITIGATION
In December 2022, the EPA and the DOJ filed a proposed Consent Decree in the Alden Leeds litigation seeking court approval to settle with 85 parties for a total of $150 million and release them from liability for remediation costs in DASS OU2 and OU4, which OxyChem believes is based on a disproportionate allocation of responsibility to OxyChem despite overwhelming evidence regarding the responsibility of others, and, among other infirmities, is contrary to site-specific sampling and other relevant evidence concerning the liability of the settling parties. The EPA and DOJ also seek entry of an order that would bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution against those parties for remediation costs OxyChem had incurred or may incur in the future to design and implement the remedies in OU2 and OU4.
OxyChem intends to challenge the proposed settlement vigorously in the Alden Leeds litigation and to seek contribution and cost recovery from other potentially responsible parties for remediation costs it had incurred or may incur at the DASS. If OxyChem is denied leave to intervene in the Alden Leeds litigation, its anticipated settlement objections are overruled by the Court or in any subsequent appeals, or the proposed settlement is approved by the Court and not overturned on appeal, then, notwithstanding OxyChem’s vigorous, good faith effort to contest the settlement proposed in the Alden Leeds litigation, the EPA could attempt to compel OxyChem to bear substantially all of the estimated cost to design and implement the OU2 and OU4 remedies, which would have a material adverse impact on OxyChem and Occidental’s consolidated results of operations in the period recorded. While the remedies for OU2 and OU4 are expected to take over ten years to complete, the EPA may seek to require OxyChem to provide financial assurance to secure its performance. The amount of financial assurance is not subject to estimation at this time, as it is uncertain when or to what extent the EPA may take action to compel OxyChem to perform further remediation in OU2 or OU4 or the amount of assurance OxyChem would be required to post if the EPA takes such actions before the proposed settlement at issue in Alden Leeds is resolved. For further information on the Alden Leeds litigation, see Note 13 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies.
OTHER INFORMATION
For the DASS, OxyChem has accrued a reserve relating to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the maintenance and monitoring required in the OU1 Consent Decree, the design and implementation of remedies selected in the OU2 ROD and AOC and the OU4 ROD, and the remedial investigation and feasibility study required in the OU3.
OxyChem’s accrued environmental remediation reserve does not reflect the potential for additional remediation costs or natural resource damages for the DASS that OxyChem believes are not reasonably estimable. OxyChem’s ultimate liability at the DASS may be higher or lower than the reserved amount and the reasonably possible additional losses, and is subject to final design plans, further action by the EPA and natural resource trustees, and the resolution of OxyChem's allocable share with other potentially responsible parties, among other factors.
OxyChem continues to evaluate the estimated costs currently recorded for remediation at the DASS and other Maxus-indemnified sites, as well as the range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those amounts currently recorded. Given the complexity and extent of the remediation efforts, estimates of the remediation costs may increase or decrease over time as new information becomes available.

NOTE 1513 - RETIREMENTLAWSUITS, CLAIMS, COMMITMENTS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANSCONTINGENCIES |
Occidental has various benefit plansor certain of its subsidiaries are involved, in the normal course of business, in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Occidental or certain of its salaried, domestic unionsubsidiaries also are involved in proceedings under CERCLA and nonunion hourly,similar federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, local and certain foreign national employees.international environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, natural resource damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and have to date been successful in sharing remediation costs with other financially sound companies. Further, some lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third party or Occidental or its subsidiary retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.
In conjunctionaccordance with applicable accounting guidance, Occidental or its subsidiaries accrue reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the Acquisition, Occidental acquired certain Anadarko contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, which include both qualified and supplemental plans, and plansliability can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for matters, other than for the arbitration award (disclosed below), tax matters or environmental remediation, that provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The Anadarko pension and postretirement obligations were remeasured as of the Acquisition date. The remeasurement resulted in an increase to the benefit obligation of $193 million. The disclosures below exclude the plans related to the Africa Assets classified as held for salesatisfy these criteria as of December 31, 2019.
During the third quarter of 2018, Occidental adopted a postretirement benefit plan design change, which replaced the previous self-insured benefit with a Medicare Advantage PPA plan for Medicare-eligible retirees. As a result of this change, the postretirement benefit obligation was remeasured as of August 31, 2018. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease2022 and 2021, were not material to the benefit obligation of $178 million with a corresponding offset to accumulated other comprehensive income.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
All domestic employees and certain foreign national employees are eligible to participate in one or more of the defined contribution retirement or savings plans that provide for periodic contributions by Occidental based on plan-specific criteria, such as base pay, level and employee contributions. Certain salaried employees participate in a supplemental retirement plan that restores benefits lost due to governmental limitations on qualified retirement benefits. The accrued liabilities for the supplemental retirement plan were $279 million and $201 million as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and Occidental expensed $211 million in 2019, $152 million in 2018 and $130 million in 2017 under the provisions of these defined contribution and supplemental retirement plans.
DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
Participation in defined benefit plans is limited. Approximately 4,000 domestic and 600 foreign national employees, mainly union, nonunion hourly and certain employees that joined Occidental from acquired operations with grandfathered benefits, are currently accruing benefits under these plans.
Pension costs for Occidental’s defined benefit pension plans, determined by independent actuarial valuations, are generally funded by payments to trust funds, which are administered by independent trustees.
POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
Occidental provides medical and dental benefits and life insurance coverage for certain active, retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents. Occidental generally funds the benefits as they are paid during the year. These benefit costs, including the postretirement costs, were approximately $220 million in 2019, $182 million in 2018 and $181 million in 2017.

If unfavorable outcomes of these matters were to occur, future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Occidental’s estimates are based on information known about the legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Occidental reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.
ANDES ARBITRATION
In 2016, Occidental received payments from the Republic of Ecuador of approximately $1.0 billion pursuant to a November 2015 arbitration award for Ecuador’s 2006 expropriation of Occidental’s Participation Contract for Block 15. The awarded amount represented a recovery of Occidental’s 60% of the value of Block 15. In 2017, Andes commenced an arbitration, against OEPC, claiming it is entitled to a 40% share of the judgment amount obtained by Occidental. Occidental contended that Andes is not entitled to any of the amounts paid under the 2015 arbitration award because Occidental’s recovery was limited to Occidental’s own 60% economic interest in the block. On March 26, 2021, the arbitration tribunal issued an award in favor of Andes and against OEPC in the amount of $391 million plus interest. In June 2021, OEPC filed a motion to vacate the award due to concerns regarding the validity of the award. In December 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed the arbitration award, plus prejudgment interest, in the aggregate amount of $558 million. OEPC has appealed the judgment. Oral argument with respect to OEPC’s appeal occurred on February 2, 2023, and a ruling is expected later this year. Andes has filed state court claims in New York and Delaware against OEPC, OPC, and OXY USA to attempt to recover on its judgment against OEPC during the pendency of the appeal. All Occidental entities are vigorously defending against these actions. In addition, OEPC commenced an arbitration against Andes to recover significant additional claims not addressed by the prior arbitration tribunal relating to Andes' 40% share of costs, liabilities, losses and expenses due under the parties’ agreements. A hearing on these claims occurred in December 2022. A ruling from the arbitration tribunal is expected in the first half of 2023.
ALDEN LEEDS LITIGATION
In December 2022, the EPA and the DOJ filed a proposed Consent Decree with the Federal District Court in New Jersey in the Alden Leeds litigation seeking court approval of a proposed settlement in which the EPA seeks to release 85 potentially responsible parties from all remediation costs in OU2 and OU4 of the DASS for approximately $150 million. OxyChem believes the proposed settlement relies, improperly, on an allocation report prepared by an EPA contractor in which the contractor purports to assign a disproportionate share of the responsibility for remediation costs in OU2 and OU4 to OxyChem. In the proposed settlement, the EPA also seeks to bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution claims against the 85 settling parties for remediation costs in OU2 and OU4. The settlement does not address the liability of any party with respect to OU3 or natural resource damages. OxyChem intends to contest the proposed settlement vigorously.
The proposed EPA settlement is subject to a public comment process that closes in March 2023. OxyChem believes the proposed settlement exceeds the EPA’s statutory authority and is based on a flawed allocation process. OxyChem also believes that process was unreasonably limited in scope and unreliably based on voluntary reporting by the settling parties, instead of sworn evidence, publicly available sampling results, and historical documents reflecting the operating history and disposal practices of the 85 parties that the EPA proposes to release as part of this settlement. OxyChem expects to show that the EPA’s proposed settlement does not fairly and reasonably reflect the settling parties’ contribution of hazardous substances to the DASS, and, among other things, incorrectly attributes to OxyChem substances that were contributed by one or more of the 85 settling parties.
OxyChem has sought to intervene in the Alden Leeds proceeding to protect its rights under federal law to challenge the proposed settlement, seek contribution and cost recovery from potentially responsible parties, and obtain a judicial allocation of responsibility under CERCLA. It is unclear when the Court will rule on OxyChem’s request to intervene or will address whether the underlying settlement will be approved. In the related CERCLA litigation, OxyChem also intends to defend and prosecute vigorously its right to seek contribution and cost recovery from all potentially responsible parties to pay remediation costs in the DASS. As the Alden Leeds case is in its early stages, OxyChem is unable to estimate the timing of the Court’s decision, its outcome, or the outcome of any appeals from the Court’s decision.
MAXUS LIQUIDATING TRUST
As described in Note 12 – Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures, Maxus was contractually obligated to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OxyChem against environmental liabilities arising from the former operations of DSCC. In June 2016, Maxus filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In June 2017, the Bankruptcy Court approved a Plan of Liquidation to liquidate Maxus and create the Trust for the benefit of Maxus’ creditors, including OxyChem, to pursue claims against Maxus’ current and former parents, YPF and Repsol, certain of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, and others to satisfy claims by OxyChem and other creditors for past and future remediation and other costs. In July 2017, the court-approved Plan of Liquidation became final and the Trust became effective. Pursuant to the Plan, the Trust is governed by an independent trustee and is not controlled by OxyChem. The Plan authorizes the Trust to distribute any assets it recovers from such litigation claims to the Trust’s beneficiaries, which include OxyChem and other creditors, in accordance with the Plan and governing Trust Agreement.
| | | | | | | | |
| | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
In June 2018, the trust filed its complaint against YPF and Repsol in Delaware Bankruptcy Court asserting claims based upon, among other things, fraudulent transfer and alter ego. During 2019, the Bankruptcy Court denied Repsol's and YPF's motions to dismiss the complaint as well as their motions to move the case to a different court. These rulings were upheld on appeal. The Trust, YPF, and Repsol each filed motions for summary judgment, and the Bankruptcy Court denied all but one motion in the second quarter of 2022. The Bankruptcy Court’s summary judgment decision indicated that, at trial, the Trust must establish a causal link between its claimed damages and the alter ego conduct of Repsol and YPF. OxyChem is currently uncertain what amount of recovery it will ultimately obtain from the Trust. Trial is scheduled for March and April 2023.
TAX MATTERS
During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and international tax jurisdictions. Tax years through 2020 for U.S. federal income tax purposes have been audited by the IRS pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program and subsequent taxable years are currently under review. Tax years through 2014 have been audited for state income tax purposes. Significant audit matters in international jurisdictions have been resolved through 2010. During the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.
For Anadarko, its taxable years through 2014 and tax year 2016 for U.S. federal tax purposes have been audited by the IRS. Tax years through 2010 have been audited for state income tax purposes. There is one outstanding significant tax matter in an international jurisdiction related to a discontinued operation. As stated above, during the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.
Other than the matter discussed below, Occidental believes that the resolution of these outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Anadarko received an $881 million tentative refund in 2016 related to its $5.2 billion Tronox Adversary Proceeding settlement payment in 2015. In September 2018, Anadarko received a statutory notice of deficiency from the IRS disallowing the net operating loss carryback and rejecting Anadarko’s refund claim. As a result, Anadarko filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court to dispute the disallowances in November 2018. In December 2022, the parties filed competing motions for partial summary judgment. The motions are not fully briefed. Trial is set for May 2023. Occidental expects to continue pursuing resolution.
In accordance with ASC 740’s guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions, Occidental has recorded no tax benefit on the tentative cash tax refund of $881 million. As a result, should Occidental not ultimately prevail on the issue, there would be no additional tax expense recorded relative to this position for financial statement purposes other than future interest. However, in that event, Occidental would be required to repay approximately $1.4 billion in federal taxes, $28 million in state taxes and accrued interest of $415 million. A liability for this amount plus interest is included in deferred credits and other liabilities - other.
INDEMNITIES TO THIRD PARTIES
Occidental, its subsidiaries, or both, have indemnified various parties against specified liabilities those parties might incur in the future in connection with purchases and other transactions that they have entered into with Occidental or its subsidiaries. These indemnities usually are contingent upon the other party incurring liabilities that reach specified thresholds. As of December 31, 2022, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to indemnity claims that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.
PURCHASE OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
Occidental, its subsidiaries, or both, have entered into agreements providing for future payments, primarily to secure terminal and pipeline capacity, and also for drilling rigs and services, electrical power, steam and certain chemical raw materials. Occidental has certain other commitments under contracts, guarantees and joint ventures, including purchase commitments for goods and services at market-related prices and certain other contingent liabilities. The amounts that will be paid for such outstanding off-balance sheet purchase obligations as of December 31, 2022 are $3.0 billion in 2023, $4.2 billion in 2024 and 2025, $2.5 billion in 2026 and 2027 and $2.2 billion in 2028 and thereafter.

(a) Approximately $280 million of cash was received as a result of the exercise of common stock warrants and options.
(b) Consisted of issuances for the 2015 long-term incentive plan, the OPC savings plan, dividend reinvestment plan and Anadarko restricted stock awards.
(c) Included purchases of 1,640,719 shares from the trustee of Occidental's defined contribution savings plan that are not part of publicly announced plans or programs.
(d) As of December 31, 2022, Occidental had 104 million outstanding warrants with a strike of $22 per share and 83.9 million of warrants with a strike of $59.62 per share.
TREASURY STOCK
Under the share repurchase program announced and completed in 2022, Occidental purchased 47.7 million shares for $3.0 billion. Additionally, Occidental purchased shares from the trustee of its defined contribution savings plan in 2022, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, treasury stock shares numbered 198.7 million, 149.3 million and 149.1 million, respectively.
PREFERRED STOCK
In connection with the Anadarko Acquisition, Occidental issued 100,000 shares of series A preferred stock, having a face value of $100,000 per share and a liquidation preference of $105,000 per share plus unpaid accrued dividends. The agreement includes a mandatory redemption provision that obligates Occidental to redeem the preferred at 110% of the par value on a dollar-for-dollar basis for every dollar distributed to common shareholders above $4.00 per share, on a trailing 12-month basis. Occidental cannot voluntarily redeem the preferred shares before August 2029. After August 2029, Occidental can voluntarily redeem the preferred shares at a 5% premium at par. Dividends on the preferred stock will accrue on the face value at a rate per annum of 8%, but will be paid only when, as and if declared by Occidental’s Board of Directors. At any time, when such dividends have not been paid in full, the unpaid amounts will accrue dividends, compounded quarterly, at a rate per annum of 9%. Following the payment in full of any accrued but unpaid dividends, the dividend rate will remain at 9% per annum. If preferred dividends are not paid in full, Occidental is prohibited from paying dividends on common stock. Occidental paid $200 million in preferred stock dividends in each quarter of 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, Occidental had 100,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
BERKSHIRE WARRANT
In connection with the preferred stock issuance, Occidental also issued the Berkshire Warrant. The Berkshire Warrant is exercisable at the holder’s option, in whole or in part, until the first anniversary of the date on which no shares of preferred stock remain outstanding, at which time the Berkshire Warrant expires. The holder of the Berkshire Warrant and the preferred stock may redeem the preferred stock as payment for the exercise price of the Warrant in lieu of cash payment upon exercise. As of December 31, 2022, the Berkshire warrant would result in the issuance of 83.9 million shares of Occidental common stock, if exercised in full for its current strike price of $59.624 per share of Occidental common stock.
COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
On June 26, 2020, the Board of Directors declared Common Stock Warrants, at a rate of 0.125 warrants per share of Occidental common stock. Occidental issued approximately 116 million Common Stock Warrants on August 3, 2020 to holders of record of outstanding shares of Occidental’s common stock as of the close of business on July 6, 2020, and pursuant to Occidental’s outstanding equity-based incentive awards in connection with anti-dilution adjustments resulting from such distribution. The Common Stock Warrants have an exercise price of $22.00 per share and will expire on August 3, 2027. The Common Stock Warrants are listed on the NYSE and trade under the symbol "OXY WS".

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Occidental’s instruments containing rights to nonforfeitable dividends granted in stock-based awards are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, have been deducted from earnings in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.
Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock, net of income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including vested but unissued shares and share units. The computation of diluted EPS reflects the additional dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and unvested stock awards.

The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in selling, general and administrative, oil and gas operating expense, chemical and midstream costs, and exploration expense on Occidental’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. All other components of net periodic benefit cost are included in other operating and non-operating expense.
The estimated net loss and prior service cost for the defined benefit pension plans that will be amortized from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $3 million and 0, respectively. The estimated net loss and prior service credit for the defined benefit postretirement plans that will be amortized from AOCI into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $12 million and $(8) million, respectively.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The following table sets forth the weighted-average assumptions used to determine Occidental’s benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost for domestic plans for the years ended December 31:

| Discount rate for January 1 - August 31 expense | | 3.21 | % | | 3.45 | % | | 3.41 | % | | 3.61 | % |
| Discount rate for September 1 - December 31 expense | | 3.21 | % | | 3.45 | % | | 3.41 | % | | 4.14 | % |
| Assumed long-term rate of return on assets | | 6.50 | % | | 6.50 | % | | — |
| | — |
|
| Rates of increase in compensation levels | | 5.44 | % | | — |
| | — |
| | — |
|
For domestic pension plans and postretirement benefit plans, Occidental based the discount rate on AA-AAA Universe yield curve in 2019 and 2018. The assumed long-term rate of return on assets is estimated with regard to current market factors but within the context of historical returns for the asset mix that exists at year end. Assumed rates of compensation increases for active participants in certain plans and vary by age group.
In 2019, Occidental adopted the Society of Actuaries 2019 Pri-2012 Private Retirement Plans Mortality Tables with Mortality Improvement Scale, which updated the mortality assumptions that private defined-benefit plans in the United States use in the actuarial valuations that determine a plan sponsor’s pension obligations. The new mortality assumption reflects additional data that the Social Security Administration has released since the previous mortality tables and improvement scales were released. This additional data shows a lower degree of mortality improvement than previously reflected. The changes in the mortality assumption results in a decrease of $15 million and $9 million in the pension and postretirement benefit obligation, respectively, at December 31, 2019.
For pension plans outside the United States, Occidental based its discount rate on rates indicative of government or investment grade corporate debt in the applicable country, taking into account hyperinflationary environments when necessary. The discount rates used for the foreign pension plans ranged from 1.0% to 8.8% at December 31, 2019 and from 1.0% to 8.9% at December 31, 2018. The average rate of increase in future compensation levels ranged from 1.0% to 8.0% in 2019, depending on local economic conditions.
The postretirement benefit obligation was determined by application of the terms of medical and dental benefits and life insurance coverage, including the effect of established maximums on covered costs, together with relevant actuarial

assumptions and health care cost trend rates. Health care cost trend rates for Medicare advantaged prescription drug (MAPD) plans of 4.3% to 21.5% in 2019, between (7.7)% and (6.2)% in 2020, 9.6% in 2021, then grading down to 4.5% in 2028 and beyond. The negative trend rates for the MAPD plans reflect the repeal of the Health Insurer Fee effective in 2021. Health care cost trend rates used for non-MAPD plans are 6.7% to 7.5% in 2019, then grading down to 4.5% in 2028 and beyond.
A 1% increase or a 1% decrease in these assumed health care cost trend rates would result in an increase of $131 million or a reduction of $103 million, respectively, in the postretirement benefit obligation and increase of $13 million or a reduction of $9 million in the annual service and interest costs as of December 31, 2019.
The actuarial assumptions used could change in the near term as a result of changes in expected future trends and other factors that, depending on the nature of the changes, could cause increases or decreases in the plan assets and liabilities.
FAIR VALUE OF PENSION PLAN ASSETS
Pension plan assets are monitored by Occidental’s Pension and Retirement Trust and Investment Committee or by the Investment Subcommittee of the Anadarko Petroleum Corporation Administrative & Investment Committee (collectively, the Investment Committees), in their roles as fiduciaries. The Investment Committees select and employ various external professional investment management firms to manage specific investments across the spectrum of asset classes. The Investment Committees employ a total return investment approach that uses a diversified blend of investments across several categories (equity securities, fixed-income securities, real estate, hedge funds, and private equity) to optimize the long-term return of plan assets at a prudent level of risk. Equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as differing styles and market capitalizations. Investment performance is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio and manager guideline compliance reviews, annual liability measurements and periodic studies.
The fair values of Occidental’s pension plan assets by asset category were as follows:

As of December 31, 2018, Occidental’s significant equity investments consisted of investments in Plains, OxyChem Ingleside Facility and Dolphin Energy Limited. In September 2019, Occidental sold its equity investment in Plains, which consisted of an 11 percent interest in the general partner that owned approximately 40 percent in Plains Pipeline. See Note 4 - Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Other Transactions for additional information.As part of the Acquisition, Occidental acquired equity investments in certain oil and gas properties and gathering and processing assets and assumed an associated notes payable which Occidental has the legal right of setoff and intends to net settle with its ownership interest in the equity investments. The notes payable can be net settled starting in 2022. The carrying value of the investment and note payable was $2.8 billion and $2.8 billion at December 31, 2019, respectively. Accordingly, the equity investments and the related notes payable are presented net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Dividends received from equity investments were $422 million, $329 million, and $297 million to Occidental in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, cumulative undistributed earnings of equity-method investees since they were acquired was immaterial. As of December 31, 2019, Occidental’s investments in equity investees exceeded the underlying equity in net assets by approximately $3.6 billion, of which $1.5 billion represented goodwill and the remainder comprised intangibles amortized over their estimated useful lives.

NOTE 1715 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTSSTOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS |
FAIR VALUES – RECURRING
In January 2012, Occidental entered into a long-term contractissues stock-based awards to purchase CO2. This contract contains a price adjustment clauseemployees in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as amended and restated. An aggregate of 133 million shares of Occidental common stock were authorized for issuance and approximately 16.1 million shares had been reserved for issuance for employee awards through December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 57.0 million shares were available for grants of future awards. The plan requires each share covered by an award (other than options) to be counted as if three shares were issued in determining the number of shares that is linkedare available for future awards. Accordingly, the number of shares available for future awards may be less than 57.0 million depending on the type of award granted, and shares available for future awards may increase by the number of shares that are forfeited, canceled, or correspond to changes in NYMEX oil prices. Occidental determined that the portion of this contract linked to NYMEX oil prices is not clearlyany stock-based awards settled in cash, including awards that were issued under a previous plan that remain outstanding. Current outstanding awards include RSUs, stock options, CROCEI awards and closelyTSRI awards.
During 2022, non-employee directors were granted awards for 33,575 shares of common stock. Compensation expense for these awards was measured using the closing quoted market price of Occidental’s common stock on the grant date and was fully recognized at that time.
Occidental incurred expenses of $258 million, $287 million and $202 million related to stock-based incentive plans in the host contract,years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and Occidental therefore bifurcated2020, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with this embedded pricing feature from its host contractexpense was $54 million, $60 million and $42 million in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense for all unvested stock-based incentive awards was $236 million. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. Occidental accounts for it atforfeitures as they occur.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Certain employees are awarded the right to receive RSUs, some of which have performance criteria, and are in the form of, or equivalent in value to, actual shares of Occidental common stock. Depending on their terms, RSUs may be settled in stock or may be cash settled liabilities. These awards vest from one to three years following the grant date. For certain RSUs, dividend equivalents are paid during the vesting period.
CASH-SETTLED RSU LIABILITY AWARDS
The weighted-average, grant-date fair values of cash-settled RSUs granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $47.41, $25.83 and $40.86 per share, respectively. Cash-settled RSUs resulted in payments of $203 million, $4 million and $3 million, during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
STOCK-SETTLED RSU EQUITY AWARDS
The weighted-average, grant-date fair values of the stock-settled RSUs granted in 2022, 2021, and 2020 were $45.14, $25.45 and $41.60, respectively. The fair value of RSUs settled in shares during the consolidated financial statements.years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was $160 million, $70 million and $62 million, respectively.

TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN INCENTIVE AWARDS
Certain executives are awarded TSRIs that vest at the end of a three-year period following the grant date. Payout is based upon Occidental’s absolute total shareholder return and performance relative to its peers. TSRIs have payouts that range from 0% to 200% of the target award and settle in stock once certified. Dividend equivalents for TSRIs are accumulated and paid upon certification of the award. The fair value of TSRIs settled in shares during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was zero, $4 million and $9 million, respectively.

| | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
The fair values of TSRIs are initially determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on Occidental’s assumptions, noted in the following table, and the volatility from corresponding peer group companies. The expected life is based on the Term. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on zero coupon Treasury notes at the time of grant with a remaining term equal to the Term. The dividend yield is the expected annual dividend yield over the Term, expressed as a percentage of the stock price on the grant date. Estimates of fair value may not accurately predict the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive the awards, and the ultimate value may not be indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by Occidental.
The grant-date assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation models for the estimated payout level of TSRIs were as follows:

The chief operating decision maker analyzes each segment’s operating results to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance as well as Occidental’s overall performance.

OIL AND GAS RESERVES
The following tables set forth Occidental’s net interests in quantities of proved developed and undeveloped reserves of oil, (including condensate), NGL and natural gas and changes in such quantities. Proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves were estimated using the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the year, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements. Oil, NGL and natural gas prices used for this purpose were based on posted benchmark prices and adjusted for price differentials including gravity, quality and transportation costs. The following table shows the pricing used in the reserve analysis for the periods presented:
|
| | | | | | |
| | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2017 |
| Average WTI oil price (per barrel) | | $55.69 | | $65.56 | | $51.34 |
| Average Brent price (per barrel) | | $63.03 | | $72.20 | | $54.93 |
| Average Henry Hub natural gas price (per MMBtu) | | $2.58 | | $3.10 | | $2.98 |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2022 | | 2021 | | 2020 |
| Average WTI Oil ($/Bbl) | | $ | 93.67 | | | $ | 66.56 | | | $ | 39.57 | |
| Average Brent Oil ($/Bbl) | | $ | 97.77 | | | $ | 69.24 | | | $ | 43.41 | |
| Average Henry Hub Natural Gas ($/MMbtu) | | $ | 6.36 | | | $ | 3.60 | | | $ | 1.98 | |
| Average Mt. Belvieu NGL ($/Bbl) | | $ | 47.81 | | | $ | 44.22 | | | $ | 18.74 | |
Reserves are stated net of applicable royalties. Estimated reserves include Occidental’s economic interests under production-sharing contracts (PSCs)PSCs and other similar economic arrangements. In addition, discussions of oil and gas production or volumes, in general, refer to sales volumes unless the context requires or it is indicated otherwise.
Prices for oil, NGL and natural gas and NGL fluctuate widely. Historically, the markets for oil, NGL and natural gas NGL and refined products have been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. Prolonged or further declines in oil, NGL and natural gas and NGL prices would continue to reduce Occidental’s operating results and cash flows and could impact its future rate of growth and further impact the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets.
Proved undeveloped reserves in the Permian Basin are supported by a five-year detailed field-level development plan, which includes the timing, location and capital commitment of the wells to be drilled. Only proved undeveloped reserves which are reasonably certain to be drilled within five years of booking and are supported by a final investment decision to drill them are included in the development plan. A portion of the proved undeveloped reserves associated with international operations are expected to be developed beyond the five years and are tied to approved long-term development plans.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE, INCLUDING YEAR-TO-YEAR CHANGES THEREIN, OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS
For purposes of the following disclosures, future cash flows were computed by applying to Occidental’s proved oil and gas reserves the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018,2022, 2021 and 2017,2020, respectively, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements, and exclude escalations based upon future conditions. The realized prices used to calculate future cash flows vary by producing area and market conditions. Future operating and capital costs were forecast using the current cost environment applied to expectations of future operating and development activities to develop and produce proved reserves at year end.

| | | | | | |
| | | 2019 | | 2018 | | 2017 |
| Average WTI oil price (per barrel) | | $55.69 | | $65.56 | | $51.34 |
| Average Brent price (per barrel) | | $63.03 | | $72.20 | | $54.93 |
| Average Henry Hub natural gas price (per MMBtu) | | $2.58 | | $3.10 | | $2.98 |
Future income tax expenses were computed by applying, generally, year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for permanent differences, tax credits, allowances and foreign income repatriation considerations) to the estimated net future pre-tax cash flows. The discount was computed by application of a 10% discount factor. The calculations assumed the continuation of existing economic, operating and contractual conditions atas of December 31, 2019, 2018,2022, 2021 and 2017.2020. Such assumptions, which are required by regulation, have not always proven accurate in the past. Other valid assumptions would give rise to substantially different results.

(a)Wells suspended or waiting on completion include exploration and development wells where drilling has occurred, but the wells are awaiting the completion of hydraulic fracturing or other completion activities or the resumption of drilling in the future. There were 42 MMboe of PUD reserves primarily assigned to U.S. onshore development wells suspended or waiting on completion as of December 31, 2022. Occidental expects to convert all of these PUD reserves to developed status within five years of their initial disclosure.
As of December 31, 2022, Occidental was participating in 135 and 37 gross pressure-maintenance projects in the United States and Internationally, respectively. In the United States, these projects primarily consisted of waterfloods and CO2 floods, and in the Middle East and North Africa, these projects consisted mostly of waterfloods.

(e)
| Occidental’s fee mineral acreage is primarily undeveloped. |
Occidental’s investment in developed and undeveloped acreage comprises numerous concessions, blocks and leases. Work programs are designed to ensure that the exploration potential of any property is fully evaluated before the contractual expiration date. In some instances, Occidental may elect to relinquish acreage in advance of the contractual expiration date if the evaluation process is complete and there is not a business basis for extension. In cases where additional time may be required to fully evaluate acreage, Occidental has generally been successful in obtaining extensions. Scheduled lease and concession expirations for undeveloped acreage over the next three years are not expected to have a material adverse impact on Occidental.

OIL, NGL AND NATURAL GAS SALES VOLUMES PER DAY
The following tables set forth the sales volumes from ongoing operations of oil, NGL and natural gas per day for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019.2022. The differences between the sales and production volumes per day are negligible and are generally due to the timing of shipments at Occidental’s international locations where product is loaded onto tankers. Natural gas volumes have been converted to BOEBoe based on energy content of six Mcf of gas to one barrel of oil.

| MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL ASSESSMENT OF AND REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING |
The management of Occidental Petroleum Corporation and its subsidiaries (Occidental) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Occidental’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.GAAP. Occidental’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositionsdivestitures of Occidental’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,GAAP and that Occidental’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Occidental’s management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Occidental’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of Occidental’s internal control system as of December 31, 2019,2022, based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2019,2022, Occidental’s system of internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Occidental’s independent auditors, KPMG LLP, have issued an audit report on Occidental’s internal control over financial reporting.
|
| |
| DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Occidental’s President and Chief Executive Officer and its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer supervised and participated in Occidental’s evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, Occidental’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Occidental’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 20192022.
.
Except as described below, there has been no change in Occidental’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter of 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Occidental’s internal control over financial reporting. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting is set forth in Item 8.
In the third quarter of 2019, Occidental started the process of integrating Anadarko into its operations and internal control processes, resulting in some of Anadarko’s historical internal controls being superseded by Occidental’s internal controls. Management will continue to integrate Anadarko’s historical internal controls over financial reporting with Occidental’s internal controls over financial reporting. This integration may lead to changes in Occidental’s or Anadarko’s historical internal controls over financial reporting in future fiscal periods. Occidental is also in the process of implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system which was implemented in January 2020. Occidental intends to integrate Anadarko’s internal control processes into Occidental’s internal control processes in conjunction with implementation of the ERP system. Management expects the integration process to be completed during 2021.
