Certain data in the financial statements and notes for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The income and cash flows for the periods ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the income or cash flows to be expected for the full year.


2. Accounting and Disclosure Changes


In January 2019, Occidental adopted the new lease standard Topic 842 - Leases (ASC 842). The new standard requires Occidental to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The new rules require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset (ROU) 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. Occidental has developed and implemented an internal software solution to support the identification, documentation, tracking, accounting and supplemental reporting of leases under ASC 842. Continued enhancements to the software solution through 2019 are expected to ensure manual processes are streamlined while maintaining control functionality surrounding completeness in population and reporting. See Note 13, Leases.


3. Revenue Recognition


Revenue from customers is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; this generally occurs with the delivery of oil, gas, natural gas liquids (NGL), chemicals or services such as transportation. 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. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, trade receivables, net, of $5.3 billion represent rights to payment for which Occidental has satisfied its obligations under a contract and its right to payment is conditioned only on the passage of time.


The following table shows a reconciliation of revenue from customers to total net sales (in millions):

6. 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 the 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.


As of March 31,June 30, 2019, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 146 sites. The following table presents Occidental’s current and non-current environmental remediation reserves as of March 31,June 30, 2019, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($120 million) and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities - environmental remediation reserves ($755764 million). The reserves are grouped as environmental remediation sites listed or proposed for listing by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the CERCLA National Priorities List (NPL) sites and three categories of non-NPL sites — third-party sites, Occidental-operated sites and closed or non-operated Occidental sites.

As of March 31,June 30, 2019, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million each at 16 of the 146 sites described above, and 91 of the sites had reserves from $0 to $1 million each. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately 4046 percent of the environmental reserves at the sites described above over the next three to four years and the balance at these sites over the subsequent 10 or more years. Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at these sites could be up to $1.1 billion. The status of Occidental's involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions, including those sites indemnified by Maxus Energy Corporation (Maxus), has not changed materially since December 31, 2018.





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 SeptemberJune 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 reserve 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 reserve does not consider any recoveries for indemnified costs. Occidental’s ultimate share of this liability may be higher or lower than the reserved amount, and is subject to final design plans and the resolution of Occidental's allocable share 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.


7. Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies


Legal Matters


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 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. In Note 6, Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures, Occidental has disclosed its reserve balances for environmental remediation matters that satisfy this criteria. Reserve balances for matters, other than environmental remediation, that satisfy this criteria as of March 31,June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, were not material to Occidental’s consolidated balance sheets.





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 percent 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 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.


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 (the DGCL). 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.

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 sheet. 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 United States federal income tax purposes have been audited by the United States 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 and subsequent years, 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.


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 March 31,June 30, 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.




8. Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans


The following table sets forth the components of the net periodic benefit costs for Occidental’s defined benefit plans for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018 (in millions):

Occidental contributed approximately zero and $1 million to the defined benefit pension plans in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018.2018, respectively, and approximately $1 million and $2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively.






9. 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 recognized at the end of each reporting period.


The following tables provide fair value measurement information for such assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 (in millions):

Fair Values — Nonrecurring


During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, Occidental did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During 2018, Occidental recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $416 million primarily related to Qatar Idd El Shargi North Dome (ISND) and Idd El Shargi South Dome proved properties and inventory. 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 percent. These inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As the end of the contract period for ISND approaches, significant changes to estimated future cash flows could result in additional impairment charges.
 
Other Financial Instruments


The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other on-balance-sheet financial instruments, other than long-term, fixed-rate debt, approximate fair value. The cost, if any, to terminate Occidental's off-balance-sheet financial instruments is not significant. 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 value of Occidental’s debt as of March 31,June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $10.8$10.7 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively. The remaining principal payments, less the discount on long-term debt, aggregated approximately $10.4 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.




10. Derivatives


Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts, including those designated as cash flow hedges, to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, transportation commitments, and to fix margins on the future sale of stored volumes of oil and natural gas. gas and interest-rate risks.

Where Occidental buys product for its own consumption or sells its production to a defined customer, Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales


exclusions. Occidental usually 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 to lock in margins. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes; however, the results of any transactions are immaterial to the marketing portfolio.


The financial instruments not designated as hedges will impact Occidental's earnings through mark-to-market until the offsetting future physical commodity is delivered. Physical inventory is carried at lower of cost or market on the consolidated condensed balance sheet.sheets. A substantial majority of Occidental's physical derivative contracts are index-based and carry no mark-to-market value in earnings. Net gains and losses associated with derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in net sales. Net gains and losses attributable to derivative instruments subject to 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.


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 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 would need to post. Occidental believes that if it had received a one-notch reduction in its credit ratings, it would not have resulted in a material change in its collateral-posting requirements as of March 31,June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.


Cash Flow Hedges


Occidental’s marketing operations store natural gas purchased from third parties at Occidental’s leased storage facilities. Derivative instruments are used to fix margins on the future sales of the stored volumes. As of March 31,June 30, 2019, Occidental had approximately 14 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas held in storage with no cash flow hedges currently associated with the stored volumes. As of December 31, 2018, Occidental had approximately 5 Bcf of natural gas held in storage, and had cash flow hedges for the forecast sales, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 4 Bcf of stored natural gas. The amount of cash flow hedges associated with stored natural gas, including the ineffective portion, was immaterial for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018.

In June 2019, in anticipation of issuing long-term debt in the third quarter of 2019 to partially finance the cash portion of the merger consideration with Anadarko, Occidental entered into a series of U.S. Treasury rate locks, designated as cash flow hedges, to hedge fluctuations in U.S. Treasury rates on the debt issuance date. The fair value of the U.S. Treasury rate locks is subject to changes in interest rates.


The following U.S. Treasury rate locks were outstanding as of June 30, 2019 (in millions):
Treasury tenor Notional value Weighted Average Fixed Rate Expiration Date Unrealized loss included in other comprehensive income

30-year $750
 2.59% September 30, 2019 $11
 $11
(a) The total $18 million liability is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement and is included in current liabilities - accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2019.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments


Forward unrealized instruments that are derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the income statementconsolidated condensed statements of operations and balance sheetsheets at fair value. The fair value represents an unrealized gain or loss between executed sales prices and market prices at the end of the period. The fair value does not reflect the realized or cash value of the instrument. Substantially all of the fair value of Occidental's derivative instruments not designated as hedges are used to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations and settle within three months at a weighted average contract price of $60.04$61.46 per barrel and $2.36$2.11 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, at March 31,June 30, 2019. The remaining fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges was immaterial. The weighted average contract price was $58.81 per barrel and $3.18 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

Initial margin is included in other current assets in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and has not been reflected in these derivative fair-value tables.

In July 2019, Occidental entered into three-way costless collar derivative instruments for 2020 and 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 maximum price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volume for a defined period of time. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that the Company will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum 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 ceiling price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volumes in 2020.

11. Industry Segments


Occidental conducts its operations through various subsidiaries and affiliates. Occidental's principal businesses consist of three segments: (1) oil and gas; (2) chemical; and (3) midstream and marketing.segments. The oil and gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, NGL and natural gas. The chemical segment mainly manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The midstream and marketing segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil, condensate, NGL, natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and power. It also trades around its assets, including transportation and storage capacity. Additionally, the midstream and marketing segment invests in entities that conduct similar activities.


Results of industry segments generally exclude income taxes, interest income, interest expense, environmental remediation expenses, unallocated corporate expenses and discontinued operations, but include gains and losses from dispositions of segment assets and income from the segments' equity investments. Intersegment sales eliminate upon consolidation and are generally made at prices approximating those that the selling entity would be able to obtain in third-party transactions.

13. Leases


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 including:


Leases that commenced before the effective date carried forward their historical lease classification.
Existing or expired land easements as of December 31, 2018 were not reassessed to determine whether or not they contained a lease.
Leases with a lease term of twelve12 months or less from lease commencement date are considered short-term leases and not recorded on the consolidated condensed balance sheet; however, the lease expenditures recognized are captured and reported as incurred.
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 drilling rigs considered long-term in nature, 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 an ROU asset and lease liability for all long-term leases. An 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. 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 below.



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 criteria under ASC 840. Adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of $772 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. There was no material impact to net income, cash flows or stockholders’ equity.


Nature of Leases


Occidental’s operating lease agreements include leases for oil and gas exploration and development equipment,
including drilling rigs, compressors and other field equipment, which are recorded gross on the consolidated condensed balance sheet and in the lease cost disclosures below. Actual expenditures are netted against joint interest recoveries on the income statement through the normal joint interest billing process. Occidental’s leases also include pipelines and other transportation equipment, rail cars, power plants, machinery, terminals, storage facilities, land, easements and residential and office space, which typically are not associated with joint interest recoveries.

14. Anadarko Acquisition and Other

On May 9, 2019, Occidental and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Baseball Merger Sub 1, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental (Merger Subsidiary), will merge with and into Anadarko (the merger), with Anadarko continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental. If the merger is completed, Anadarko stockholders will receive, in exchange for each share of Anadarko common stock, (1) $59.00 in cash and (2) 0.2934 of a share of Occidental common stock. The Anadarko Special Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled for August 8 and we expect to close the acquisition promptly thereafter.

On April 30, 2019, Occidental entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Berkshire Hathaway (the Berkshire Hathaway investment), pursuant to which Occidental agreed that in the event Occidental enters into and consummates the proposed acquisition of Anadarko, Occidental will issue and sell to Berkshire Hathaway, and Berkshire Hathaway agreed to purchase from Occidental for an aggregate purchase price of $10 billion in cash: (1) 100,000 shares of a new series of cumulative perpetual preferred stock of Occidental, having a face value of $100,000 per share (the Preferred Stock), and (2) a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase 80.0 million shares of Occidental’s common stock at an exercise price of $62.50 per share. 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 out of legally available funds. 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. The Warrant will be exercisable in whole or in part, until the first anniversary of the date on which no shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding; however, if any stockholder




approval is required for the issuance of Occidental common stock upon exercise of the Warrant, then unless and until such required approvals have been received, Berkshire Hathaway will not be permitted to exercise the Warrant for shares of Occidental common stock. The Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions in addition to the requirement that Occidental has consummated the proposed acquisition of Anadarko. See Occidental’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 3, 2019, for more information about the Securities Purchase Agreement.



On May 3, 2019, Occidental and TOTAL S.A. (Total) entered into a binding memorandum of understanding pursuant to which, contingent upon completion of the merger, Occidental agreed to sell to Total all of the assets, liabilities, businesses and operations of Anadarko in Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique and South Africa for $8.8 billion in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis (the Total transaction).

On May 9, 2019, Occidental entered into a second amended and restated debt commitment letter, pursuant to which certain financial institutions committed to provide, contingent upon completion of the merger, a 364-day senior unsecured bridge loan facility (the bridge facility) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $21.8 billion. Such commitments were subsequently reduced by $8.8 billion, to $13.0 billion, upon Occidental’s entry into the term loan credit agreement described below. Commitments in respect of the bridge facility will be further reduced to the extent that Occidental obtains certain other financing or financing commitments or completes certain securities issuances or asset sales.

On June 3, 2019, Occidental entered into an $8.8 billion term loan credit agreement (the term loan credit agreement) with Citibank, N.A., as agent, and certain other financial institutions party thereto, as lenders (the term loan lenders), pursuant to which the term loan lenders have committed to provide, contingent upon completion of the merger, (1) a 364-day senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.4 billion and (2) a two-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.4 billion (together, the term loan financing).

Each of the Berkshire Hathaway investment, the Total transaction and the term loan financing are subject to certain conditions, including, in each case, the completion of the merger.

On June 3, 2019, Occidental entered into an amendment to its existing $3.0 billion revolving credit facility pursuant to which, among other things, the commitments under the revolving credit facility will be increased by an additional $2.0 billion, to $5.0 billion, contingent upon completion of the merger.

There can be no assurance that the Total transaction, the Berkshire Hathaway investment, and the term loan financing described herein will be completed on the terms contemplated or proposed or at all. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part I Item 2 and Risk Factors in Part II Item 1A of this Form 10-Q for more information.

In the three months ended June 30, 2019, Occidental expensed $107 million in fees in connection with merger-related transaction costs and debt financing fees.

On July 31, 2019, Occidental and Ecopetrol entered into definitive agreements to form a joint venture to develop 97,000 net acres of Occidental’s Midland Basin properties in the Permian Basin. Ecopetrol will pay $750 million in cash at closing and $750 million of carried capital in exchange for a 49-percent interest in the new venture.  Occidental will own a 51-percent interest and operate the joint venture. During the carry period, Ecopetrol will pay 75-percent of Occidental’s share of capital expenditures. 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. This transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Selected Statements of Operations Items


Net sales increased for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to the same periodperiods in 2018, primarily as a result of higher marketing margins in the midstream and marketing segment and higher domestic crude oil sales volumes, and higher marketing margins due to improved crude oil spreads, partially offset by lower realized crude oil NGL and domestic natural gas prices and lower realized caustic soda prices in the chemical segment.


Cost of sales decreasedincreased slightly for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to the same periodperiods in 2018, mainly due to non-cash changes in the fair value of a long-term carbon dioxide (CO2) purchase contract, partially offset by higher production costs for surface operations and maintenance due to increased activity in the Permian Basin.

The increase in investments in unconsolidated entities at March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, is primarily due to capital contributions to equity investments.investments and equity income, which was partially offset by dividends.


The increase in property, plant and equipment, net, at March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, is due to capital expenditures of $1.3$2.5 billion, and oil and gas property acquisitions of $52 million, which were partially offset by DD&A of $955 million.$2.0 billion.


The increase in accounts payable at March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, is primarily the result of higher crude oil purchasesprices and prices.higher marketing volume.

Oil and Gas Segment
 
Oil and gas segment earnings were $484$726 million and $1.2 billion for the first quarter ofthree and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with segment earnings of $750$780 million and $1.5 billion for the first quartersame periods of 2018. The decrease in earnings primarily reflected lower realized crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. Both average WTI and Brent oil prices, decreased by 13 percent and 5 percent, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease was partially offset by higher crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales volumes and lower DD&A rates.

Oil and gas cash operating expenses per BOE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 11 percent and 8 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018 due to improved efficiencies on maintenance costs and lower energy costs.



The following tables set forth the total production and sales volumes for oil, NGL and natural gas per day for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018. The differences between the production and sales volumes per day are generally due to the timing of shipments at Occidental’s international locations, where the product is loaded onto tankers.

The increase in average daily production volumes is primarily due to Permian Resources, which increased by 86,000 BOE, or 46 percent, due to increased drilling and well productivity, and Al Hosn, which increased by 18,000 BOE, or 28 percent, from the successful debottlenecking and expansion of capacity and improved plant performance. International production is expected to decline in the third quarter of 2019, compared to the second quarter due to unplanned maintenance in Qatar.

On July 31, 2019, Occidental and Ecopetrol entered into definitive agreements to form a joint venture to develop 97,000 net acres of Occidental’s Midland Basin properties in the Permian Basin. Ecopetrol will pay $750 million in


cash at closing and $750 million of carried capital in exchange for a 49-percent interest in the new venture.  Occidental will own a 51-percent interest and operate the joint venture. During the carry period, Ecopetrol will pay 75-percent of Occidental’s share of capital expenditures. 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. This transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Chemical Segment


Chemical segment earnings for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, and 2018 were $265$208 million and $298$317 million, respectively. The declineChemical segment earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 were $473 million and $615 million, respectively. Compared to the same periods in 2018, the first quarter ofthree and six months ended June 30, 2019, resulted primarily fromreflected lower realized caustic soda prices partially offset by favorable feedstock costs. The six months earnings included fees received under a pipeline easement agreement that was executed during the same period. Production during the first quarter of 2019 was negatively impacted by a third-party tank farm fire in Deer Park, Texas, as various operations were temporarily curtailed. All OxyChem facilities have resumed safe operations.2019.


Midstream and Marketing Segment


Midstream and marketing earnings were $279$331 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared with earnings of $179$250 million for the same period of 2018. Midstream and marketing earnings were $610 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with earnings of $429 million for the same period of 2018. The improvement was attributable to higher marketing margins due to improved crude oil price spreads, partially offset by lower NGL prices impacting gas processing and lower pipeline income due to the sale of non-core domestic midstream assets in the third quarter of 2018.




Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At March 31,June 30, 2019, Occidental had $1.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents. With a continued focus on capital and operational efficiencies, Occidental expects to fund its liquidity needs, including future dividend payments, through cash on hand, cash generated from operations, monetization of non-core assets or investments, future borrowings, and, if necessary, proceeds from other forms of capital issuance.


Net cash provided by operating activities was $948 million$3.0 billion for the first threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2019, compared to $1.0$2.8 billion for the same period of 2018. The decreaseincrease in net cash provided by operating activities mainly reflected higherlower working capital use of cash asprimarily due to a result of higher stored inventory at March 31, 2019, and higher cash payments for capital expenditures accrued at the end of 2018. This decrease was partially offset by higher marketing margins in the first quarter of 2019, comparedreceivables due to the same period of 2018.lower commodity prices.
 
Occidental’s net cash used by investing activities was $1.4$2.7 billion for the first threesix months of 2019, compared to $971 million$2.3 billion for the same period of 2018. Capital expenditures for the first threesix months of 2019 were $1.3$2.5 billion, of which $1.2$2.3 billion was for the oil and gas segment, compared to $1.0$2.3 billion for the first threesix months of 2018, of which $940 million$2.1 billion was for the oil and gas segment. The first quarter of 2018 also reflected $275 million of cash received from the sale of assets and $177 million of cash paid for the purchase of assets.


Occidental’s net cash used by financing activities was $814 million$1.5 billion for the first threesix months of 2019, compared to $104$789 million for the same period of 2018. CashThe increase in cash used by financing activities for the first threesix months of 2019 reflected the paymentlower net proceeds and payments of $591 millionlong-term debt, higher treasury stock purchases and higher debt and preferred stock issuance costs. The six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 each included dividend payments of dividends and the purchase of $237 million of treasury stock.$1.2 billion.


As of March 31,June 30, 2019, Occidental was in compliance with all covenants of its financing agreements and had substantial capacity for additional unsecured borrowings, the payment of cash dividends and other distributions on, or acquisitions of, Occidental stock.


On April 30, 2019, Occidental entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Berkshire, pursuant to which Occidental agreed thatanticipates issuing long-term debt in the event Occidental enters into and consummates the proposed acquisitionthird quarter of Anadarko, Occidental will issue and sell2019 to Berkshire, and Berkshire agreed to purchase from Occidental for an aggregate purchase price of $10 billion in cash: (1) 100,000 shares of a new series of cumulative perpetual preferred stock of Occidental, having a face value of $100,000 per share (the Preferred Stock), and (2) a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase 80.0 million shares of Occidental’s common stock at an exercise price of $62.50 per share. 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 out of legally available funds. 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. The Warrant will be exercisable in whole or in part, until the first anniversary of the date on which no shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, however if any stockholder approval is required for the issuance of Occidental common stock upon exercise of the Warrant, then unless and until such required approvals have been received, Berkshire will not be permitted to exercise the Warrant for shares of Occidental common stock. The Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions in addition to the requirement that Occidental has consummated the proposed acquisition of Anadarko. See Occidental’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 3, 2019 for more information about the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Occidental has obtained financing commitments for proceeds of up to $21.8 billion to fundpartially finance the cash portion of the merger consideration with Anadarko, together with proceeds from the Berkshire Hathaway investment and the term loan financing described in Note 14, Anadarko Acquisition and Other, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. With a continued focus on capital and operational efficiencies following the closing of the merger, Occidental expects to fund its proposed acquisitionliquidity needs, including future dividend payments, through cash on hand, cash generated from operations, monetization of Anadarko. non-core assets or investments, future borrowings, and proceeds from other forms of capital issuance.

In July 2019, Occidental entered into three-way costless collar derivative instruments for 2020 and additional call options in 2021 to manage its near-term exposure to cash-flow variability from commodity-price risks. Occidental entered into the 2021 call options to substantially improve the ceiling price that it will receive for the contracted commodity volumes in 2020. See Note 10, Derivatives, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information about these arrangements.

Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures


Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations related to improving or maintaining environmental quality. Occidental’s environmental compliance costs have generally increased over time and are expected to rise in the future. Occidental factors environmental expenditures for its operations as an integral part of its business planning process.


The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including 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 of hazardous substances; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. These 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.


Refer to Note 6, Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures, in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q and to the Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding Occidental’s environmental expenditures.

PART II    OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.Legal Proceedings


For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 7, Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.


Item 1A.    Risk Factors

Our proposal to acquire Anadarko Petroleum Corporation may not be completed or completed on the terms and conditions contemplated, or with the anticipated benefits.

We are currently pursuing a proposal to acquire Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko). Anadarko has engaged with Occidental with respect to our proposal but the ultimate outcome of any possible transaction between Occidental and Anadarko remains uncertain, including the possibility that Anadarko will reject the proposed transaction with Occidental or that the terms of any definitive agreement with Anadarko will be materially different than those described herein. In addition, if a definitive agreement with Anadarko is signed, the conditions to the closing of the proposed acquisition may not be obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule or at all.


Occidental may be unable tonot achieve the expected synergiesintended benefits of the merger, and operating efficiencies within the expected time-framesmerger may disrupt its current plans or at all and may notoperations.

There can be no assurance that Occidental will be able to successfully integrate Anadarko’s operations with thoseassets or otherwise realize the expected benefits of Occidental.the potential transaction (including anticipated annual operating cost and capital synergies). Difficulties in integrating Anadarko into Occidental may alsoresult in the combined company performing differently than expected, in operational challenges or in the failure to realize anticipated synergies and efficiencies in the expected time frame or at all. The integration of the two companies may result in material challenges, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns; retaining key management and other employees; retaining existing business and operational relationships, including customers, suppliers and employees and other counterparties, and attracting new business and operational relationships; the possibility of faulty assumptions underlying expectations regarding the integration process and associated expenses; consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures and eliminating duplicative operations; coordinating geographically separate organizations; unanticipated issues in integrating information technology, communications and other systems; as well as unforeseen expenses or delays associated with the acquisition.

Occidental will incur a substantial amount of indebtedness and other payment obligations in connection with the financing for the merger.

Occidental expects to fund the cash portion of the consideration by incurring up to $21.8 billion of third-party indebtedness and issuing shares of series A preferred stock and a warrant to acquire common stock pursuant to the Berkshire Hathaway investment. In addition, Occidental expects to assume approximately $11.9 billion aggregate principal amount of Anadarko’s outstanding long-term debt, excluding finance lease liabilities, as well as approximately $7.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Western Midstream Operating, LP’s outstanding short- and long-term debt, non-recourse to Occidental, in the merger. Occidental cannot guarantee that it will be unableable to generate sufficient cash flowsflow to service and repay this indebtedness or to pay the substantial indebtedness Occidental expects to incur in connection with the proposed transaction with Anadarko and to service the increased dividends that Occidental may be required to be paid on the series A preferred stock, or that it will be able to refinance such indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all. The failure to so repay or refinance such indebtedness, or to pay in connection with the Preferred Stock. Any of the abovedividends on such series A preferred stock, could have a material adverse effect on ourOccidental’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or share price. If Occidental is unable to service such indebtedness and fund its operations, Occidental may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek additional capital, sell assets or refinance Occidental’s indebtedness. Any such action may not be successful and Occidental may be unable to service such indebtedness and its operations, which could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows.flows and/or share price. See Note 14, Anadarko Acquisition and Other, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information about the Berkshire Hathaway investment.

Occidental may not be able to obtain its preferred form of debt financing notes in connection with the merger on anticipated terms or at all.

Occidental expects to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the merger and the payment of fees and expenses related to the merger using the proceeds of long-term financing, which Occidental currently expects to include the issuance of debt securities through a public offering or in a private placement, in addition to borrowings under a new term loan facility and proceeds from the Berkshire Hathaway investment. However, there is a risk that market conditions will not be conducive to Occidental executing this financing plan with respect to the long-term financing, or that the long-term financing will not be available on favorable terms. As a result, Occidental may need to pursue


other options, including borrowings under the bridge facility, which may result in less favorable financing terms that could increase costs and/or adversely impact the operations of Occidental.

Occidental may not be able to consummate the sale to Total of the assets, liabilities, businesses and operations of Anadarko in Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique and South Africa or complete its planned divestitures of certain assets on favorable terms or at all.

The Total transaction is conditioned on the completion of the merger and the receipt of required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary closing conditions. Occidental may not be able to consummate the Total transaction or obtain the proceeds that could be realized from it, and those cash proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. In addition, although Occidental intends to complete $10 billion to $15 billion of divestitures of certain assets within 24 months after completion of the merger (including the Total transaction), Occidental may not be able to complete its planned divestitures on favorable terms or at all. Any difficulties with respect to the completion of the Total transaction or other 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 14, Anadarko Acquisition and Other, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information about the Total transaction.

The merger may not be accretive, and may be dilutive, to Occidental’s cash flow per share and free cash flow per share, which may negatively affect the market price of Occidental common stock.

Occidental currently expects the merger to be accretive to its cash flow per share (calculated as cash flow from operations before working capital, less distributions attributable to noncontrolling interest, divided by total common diluted shares outstanding) and free cash flow per share (calculated as cash flow from operations before working capital, less distributions attributable to non-controlling interest, capex, preferred dividends and common dividends, divided by total common diluted shares outstanding), within twelve months after the completion of the merger. This expectation, however, is based on preliminary estimates that may materially change. In addition, Occidental could fail to realize all the benefits anticipated in the transaction or experience delays or inefficiencies in realizing such benefits. Such factors could, when combined with the issuance of shares of Occidental common stock in the merger, result in the transaction being dilutive to Occidental’s cash flow per share and/or free cash flow per share, which could negatively affect the market price of shares of Occidental common stock.

Occidental's commodity-price risk-management and trading activities 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 commodity price risk-management 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 and trading activities may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which the following occur:
Occidental's production is less than the notional volume;
the counterparties to Occidental's hedging or other price risk management contracts fail to perform under those arrangements; and
a sudden unexpected event materially impacts oil, natural gas, or NGL prices.

Additional information concerning these and other risk factors related to the merger can be found in Occidental’s registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 11, 2019.
