OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2011

1.	General

	In these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, "Occidental" means Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (OPC), and/or one or more entities in which it owns a majority voting interest (subsidiaries). Occidental has made its disclosures in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles as they apply to interim reporting, and condensed or omitted, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements and the notes. The consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Occidental’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

	In the opinion of Occidental’s management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present Occidental’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2011, and the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, as applicable. The income and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the income or cash flows to be expected for the full year.

	Certain financial statement balances and notes for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.

2.	Asset Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transactions

	During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Occidental paid approximately $3.4 billion for domestic acquisitions, which included oil and gas properties in South Texas, California and the Permian Basin.

	In the first quarter of 2011, Occidental acquired a 40-percent participating interest in Al Hosn, the high sulfur gas development project of the Shah Field in Abu Dhabi. Occidental partnered with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in a 30-year joint venture agreement for the $10 billion project, of which Occidental’s portion is approximately $4 billion. In May 2011, Occidental paid approximately $500 million for its share of development expenditures incurred by the project prior to the date the final agreement was signed.

	In March 2011, Occidental redeemed all of its $1.0 billion 7-percent senior notes due 2013 and all of its $368 million 6.75-percent senior notes due 2012. Occidental recorded a $163 million pre-tax charge related to this redemption in the first quarter of 2011.

	In March 2011, Occidental borrowed $1.0 billion for short-term cash needs, all of which was repaid in April 2011. In June 2011, Occidental borrowed $500 million for short-term cash needs, all of which was repaid in July 2011.

	In December 2010, Occidental executed an agreement with a subsidiary of China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) to sell its Argentine oil and gas operations for after-tax proceeds of approximately $2.6 billion. Occidental recorded a pre-tax gain of $225 million when the sale closed in February 2011. Net revenues and pre-tax income for discontinued operations related to Argentina were $97 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, while there were no revenues and pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net revenues and pre-tax losses for such discontinued operations were respectively $158 million and $17 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and $313 million and $60 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the assets of discontinued operations related to Argentina were $0 and $2.9 billion, respectively, which were mainly comprised of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the liabilities of discontinued operations were $513 million, which mainly comprised deferred tax liabilities and accrued liabilities.

	Occidental has ceased its exploration activity in Libya due to the ongoing political unrest there and sanctions imposed by the United States government in February 2011. As a result, Occidental wrote off the entire amount of the capitalized and suspended exploration costs incurred to date, including lease acquisition costs, of approximately $35 million in the first quarter of 2011. The producing fields in Libya are operated by Libyan companies and the impact of the current situation on those operations is uncertain at this time. Further, United States sanctions currently prevent Occidental from participating in those operations. The net book value of Occidental’s Libyan producing properties as of June 30, 2011 was $847 million. At December 31, 2010, these properties had net proved reserves estimated at 57 million barrels, approximately 2 percent of Occidental’s total proved reserves. Occidental Libya’s 2010 sales and production volumes were 13,000 BOE per day, representing less than 2 percent of Occidental’s worldwide volumes. Going forward, Occidental will not report any production from Libya until permitted. Occidental’s Libyan operations, excluding exploration costs, had $25 million and $31 million of after-tax income and cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

3.	Accounting and Disclosure Changes

	Occidental has not made any significant accounting and disclosure changes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

4.	Comprehensive Income

	The following table presents Occidental’s comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

	Periods ended June 30
	Three months					Six months
	2011		2010			2011			2010
Net income attributable to common stock	$	1,817	$	1,063		$	3,366		$	2,127
Other comprehensive income items:
Foreign currency translation adjustments		7		(1	)		13			(4	)
Pension and postretirement adjustments		7		6			14			13
Unrealized gains (losses) on derivatives		21		37			(4	)		60
Reclassification of realized losses on derivatives and other		35		23			49			44

Comprehensive income attributable to common stock	$	1,887	$	1,128		$	3,438		$	2,240

	There were no other comprehensive income items related to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

5.	Supplemental Cash Flow Information

	Occidental paid U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes for continuing operations of approximately $1.6 billion and $1.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Additionally, net payments for income taxes related to discontinued operations were $0 and $46 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest paid totaled approximately $236 million (including $154 million for early extinguishment premium) and $83 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

6.	Inventories

	A portion of inventories is valued under the LIFO method. The valuation of LIFO inventory for interim periods is based on Occidental’s estimates of year-end inventory levels and costs. Inventories as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following (in millions):

	2011				2010
Raw materials		$	69			$	63
Materials and supplies			433				414
Finished goods			772				636
			1,274				1,113
LIFO reserve			(72	)			(72	)
Total		$	1,202			$	1,041

7.	Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures

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

	The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and foreign 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 June 30, 2011, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 168 sites. The following table presents Occidental’s environmental remediation reserves as of June 30, 2011, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($78 million) and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities – other ($285 million). The reserves are grouped as environmental remediation sites listed or proposed for listing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 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.

	Number of Sites		Reserve Balance (in millions)
NPL sites		38		$	55
Third-party sites		80			97
Occidental-operated sites		21			117
Closed or non-operated Occidental sites		29			94
Total		168		$	363

	As of June 30, 2011, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million at 11 of the 168 sites described above, and 119 of the sites had reserves from $0 to $1 million each. Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately half of the current environmental reserves over the next four years and the balance over the subsequent ten or more years. Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional loss beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at the sites described above could be up to $375 million. The status of Occidental’s involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions have not changed materially since December 31, 2010. For management’s opinion with respect to environmental matters, refer to Note 8.

8.	Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters

	OPC or certain of its subsidiaries are named, 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, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. OPC or certain of its subsidiaries also have been named 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; however, Occidental is usually one of many companies in these proceedings and has to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. The ultimate amount of losses and the timing of any such losses that Occidental may incur resulting from currently outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be determined reliably at this time. Occidental accrues reserves for all of these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reserve balances as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were not material to Occidental's consolidated balance sheets. Occidental also evaluates the amount of reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur as a result of the matters mentioned above. Occidental has disclosed its range of reasonably possible losses for sites where it is a participant in environmental remediation. Occidental believes that other reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur in excess of reserves accrued on the balance sheet would not be material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

	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. While the audits of corporate tax returns for taxable years through 2008 have concluded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the 2009 through 2011 taxable years are currently under review by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program. Taxable years from 2000 through the current year remain subject to examination by foreign and state government tax authorities in certain jurisdictions. In certain of these jurisdictions, tax authorities are in various stages of auditing Occidental’s income taxes. 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.

	Occidental has indemnified various parties against specified liabilities that 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 June 30, 2011, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to future indemnity claims against it in connection with these transactions that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.

9.	Retirement Plans and Postretirement Benefits

	The following table sets forth the components of the net periodic benefit costs for Occidental’s defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

	Occidental contributed $2 million and $3 million in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $4 million and $5 million in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plans.

10.	Fair Value Measurements

	Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation techniques, in a three-level fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – using observable inputs other than quoted prices; and Level 3 – using unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized 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 price 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:

		Trading securities – Quoted prices in active markets exist and are used to provide fair values for these instruments. These securities are classified as Level 1.

		Commodity derivatives – 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. Over-the-Counter (OTC) financial commodity contracts, options and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts are generally valued using quotations provided by brokers or industry-standard models that consider various inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, credit risk and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable prices at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Occidental classifies these measurements as Level 2.

	Occidental generally uses an income approach to measure fair value when there is not a market-observable price for an identical or similar asset or liability. This approach utilizes management’s assumptions regarding expectations of projected cash flows, and discounts the expected cash flows using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate.

	The following tables provide fair value measurement information for such assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in millions):

	Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2011 Using
Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Netting and Collateral		(a)	Total Fair Value

(a)

Represents the impact of netting assets, liabilities and collateral when a legal right of offset exists.

	Fair Values - Nonrecurring
	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, Occidental did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

	Other Financial Instruments
	The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other on-balance-sheet financial instruments, other than fixed-rate debt, approximate fair value. The cost, if any, to terminate 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 similar instruments’ maturities. The estimated fair values of Occidental’s debt, as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were approximately $4.5 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, compared to carrying values of $4.2 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively.

11.	Derivatives

	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 such treatment and management elects to do so. If a derivative does not qualify or is not designated and documented as a cash-flow hedge, any fair value gains or losses are recognized in earnings in the current period.

	Through its marketing and trading activities and within its established policy controls and procedures, Occidental uses derivative instruments, including a combination of short-term futures, forwards, options and swaps, to improve realized prices for its crude oil, gas and natural gas liquids (NGL). Additionally, Occidental, through its Phibro trading unit, engages in trading activities using derivatives for the purpose of generating profits mainly from market price changes of commodities. Occidental has also used derivatives to reduce its exposure to price volatility on a small portion of its crude oil and gas production.

	Cash-Flow Hedges
	As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental held a series of collar agreements that qualify as cash-flow hedges for the sale of approximately 3 percent of its crude oil production. These agreements are for existing domestic production and continue to the end of 2011. The following table presents the daily quantities and weighted-average strike prices of Occidental's collar positions as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Crude Oil – Collars	Daily Volume (barrels)	Average Floor	Average Cap
July 2011 –
December 2011 (a)	12,000	$32.92	$46.27

(a)

At December 31, 2010, these contracts were outstanding with the same daily volumes and terms indicated and also covered the period from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011.

In 2009, Occidental entered into financial swap agreements related to the sale of a portion of its natural gas production from the Rocky Mountain region of the United States that qualify as cash-flow hedges. The following table presents the daily quantities and weighted-average prices that will be received by Occidental as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

	Natural Gas – Swaps		Daily Volume (cubic feet)		Average Price
	July 2011 – March 2012 ( a)		50 million		$6.07

(a)

At December 31, 2010, these contracts were outstanding with the same daily volumes and terms indicated and also covered the period from January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011.

	Occidental’s marketing and trading operations store natural gas purchased from third parties at Occidental’s North American leased storage facilities. Derivative instruments are used to fix margins on the future sales of the stored volumes. These agreements continue through March 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental had approximately 11 billion cubic feet and 28 billion cubic feet of natural gas held in storage, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental had cash-flow hedges for the forecasted sale, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 5 billion cubic feet and 24 billion cubic feet of this natural gas held in storage, respectively.

	The following table presents the pre-tax gains and losses recognized in, and reclassified from, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and recognized in income (net sales), including any hedge ineffectiveness, for derivative instruments classified as cash-flow hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

	Periods ended June 30
	Three Months					Six Months
Commodity Contracts		2011		2010			2011			2010
Unrealized gains (losses) recognized in AOCI – effective portion	$	34	$	58		$	(6	)	$	95
Amount of losses reclassified from AOCI into income – effective portion	$	54	$	30		$	76		$	62
Gains (losses) recognized in income – ineffective portion	$	1	$	(3	)	$	―		$	(1	)

The following table summarizes net after-tax derivative activity recorded in AOCI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

	Periods ended June 30
	Three Months						Six Months
		2011			2010			2011			2010
Beginning balance – AOCI	$	(122	)	$	(183	)	$	(111	)	$	(227	)
Gains (losses) from changes in cash-flow hedges		21			37			(4	)		60
Losses reclassified to income		35			19			49			40
Ending balance – AOCI	$	(66	)	$	(127	)	$	(66	)	$	(127	)

	During the next twelve months, Occidental expects that approximately $53 million of net after-tax derivative losses included in AOCI, based on their valuation as of June 30, 2011, will be reclassified into income.

	Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
	Occidental’s third-party marketing and trading activities focus on purchasing crude oil, natural gas and NGL for resale from partners, producers and third parties whose supply is located near midstream and marketing assets, such as pipelines, processing plants and storage facilities, that are owned or leased by Occidental. These purchases allow Occidental to aggregate volumes to maximize prices received for Occidental’s production. The third-party marketing and trading purchase and sales contracts generally approximate each other with respect to aggregate volumes and terms. In addition, Occidental’s Phibro trading unit uses derivative instruments, including forwards, futures, swaps and options, some of which may be for physical delivery, in its strategy to profit from market price changes.

The following table presents gross volumes of Occidental’s commodity derivatives contracts not designated as hedging instruments as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

	Volumes
Commodity	2011	2010
Sales contracts related to Occidental’s production
Crude oil (million barrels)	9	8

Third-party marketing and trading activities
Purchase contracts
Crude oil (million barrels)	205	136
Natural gas (billion cubic feet)	888	833
Precious metals (million troy ounces)	1	13

Sales contracts
Crude oil (million barrels)	191	144
Natural gas (billion cubic feet)	998	1,156
Precious metals (million troy ounces)	1	1

	In addition, Occidental has certain other commodity trading contracts, including agricultural products, metals and electricity, as well as foreign exchange contracts, which were not material to Occidental as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

	Occidental has crude oil sales contracts representing a small portion of Occidental’s domestic crude oil production. Additionally, for third-party marketing and trading activities, a substantial portion of the sales contracts that exist at the end of a reporting period are typically fulfilled by existing purchase contracts with substantially identical terms. For a substantial portion of the natural gas sales commitments not satisfied by such contracts as of June 30, 2011, Occidental has entered into offsetting contracts after June 30, 2011. The remaining portion is not material to Occidental.

	Approximately $200 million and $67 million of net gains from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were recognized in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Approximately $189 million and $44 million of net gains from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were recognized in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

	Fair Value of Derivatives
	The following table presents the gross fair value of Occidental’s outstanding derivatives as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (in millions):

	Asset Derivatives				Liability Derivatives

	(a)	The above fair values are presented at gross amounts, including when the derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the consolidated balance sheet.
	(b)	As of June 30, 2011, collateral received of $45 million has been netted against derivative assets and collateral paid of $74 million has been netted against derivative liabilities.
	(c)	As of December 31, 2010, collateral received of $39 million has been netted against derivative assets and collateral paid of $95 million has been netted against derivative liabilities.

See Note 10 for fair value measurement disclosures on derivatives.

	Credit Risk
	A majority of Occidental’s derivative transaction volume is executed through exchange-traded contracts, which are subject to nominal credit risk as a significant portion of these transactions are executed on a daily margin basis. Collateral of $64 million and $154 million deposited by Occidental for such contracts with clearing houses and brokers , which has not been reflected in the derivative fair value tables, is included in the marketing and trading assets and other balance as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

	In addition, Occidental executes a portion of its derivative transactions in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. Occidental is subject to counterparty credit risk to the extent the counterparty to the derivatives is unable to meet its settlement commitments. Occidental manages this credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by spreading the credit risk among many such counterparties, by entering into master netting arrangements with the counterparties and by requiring collateral, as appropriate. Occidental actively monitors the creditworthiness of each counterparty and records valuation adjustments to reflect counterparty risk, if necessary. 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 would need to post. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental had a net liability of $66 million and $234 million, respectively, for which the amount of collateral posted was $35 million and $10 million, respectively. 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 June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

12.	Industry Segments

	Occidental conducts its continuing operations through three segments: (1) oil and gas; (2) chemical; and (3) midstream, marketing and other (midstream and marketing). The oil and gas segment explores for, develops, produces and markets crude oil, NGL and condensate (collectively “liquids”), and natural gas. The chemical segment manufactures and markets basic chemicals, vinyls and other chemicals. The midstream and marketing segment gathers, treats, processes, transports, stores, purchases and markets liquids, natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and power. It also trades around its assets, including pipelines and storage capacity, and trades oil and gas, other commodities and commodity-related securities.

	Earnings 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 segment equity investments.

The following table presents Occidental’s industry segment and corporate disclosures (in millions):

	(b)	Includes net interest expense (including the early debt extinguishment costs of $163 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011), administration expense, environmental remediation and other pre-tax items.
	(c)	Includes all foreign and domestic income taxes from continuing operations.
	(d)	Reflects the after-tax gain from the sale of the Argentine operations.

13.	Earnings Per Share

	Occidental’s instruments containing rights to nonforfeitable dividends granted in share-based payment transactions are considered participating securities prior to vesting, and, therefore, have been included in the earnings allocations 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 attributable to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, net of treasury shares and including vested but unissued shares and share units. The computation of diluted EPS further reflected the dilutive effect of stock options and unvested stock awards.

	The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:

	Periods Ended June 30

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Consolidated Results of Operations

Occidental (which means Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OPC) and/or one or more entities in which it owns a majority voting interest) reported net income of $1.8 billion for the second quarter of 2011 on net sales of $6.2 billion, compared to net income of $1.1 billion on net sales of $4.6 billion for the same period of 2010. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.23 for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $1.31 for the same period of 2010. Occidental reported net income of $3.4 billion for the first six months of 2011 on net sales of $11.9 billion, compared to net income of $2.1 billion on net sales of $9.2 billion for the same period of 2010. Diluted EPS were $4.13 and $2.61 for the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods of 2010, reflected higher worldwide crude oil and NGL prices, higher margins and volumes across most chemical products and higher margins in the marketing business, while the increase for the six months also reflected higher margins in the trading business.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 included net after-tax charges of $46 million. These items included pre-tax gains of $225 million from the sale of the Argentine operations and $22 million from the sale of an interest in a Colombian pipeline. Pre-tax charges included $163 million related to the early redemption of $1.4 billion face value of debt, a $35 million write-off of the entire accumulated cost of exploration properties in Libya and non-recurring charges for state and foreign taxes of $62 million.

Unless indicated otherwise, net income and EPS reflect net income attributable to common stock.

Selected Income Statement Items

The increase in net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, reflected higher prices and margins in all segments as well as higher chemical volumes. The increase in net sales for the six-month periods also included higher oil and gas sales volumes.

The increase in cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, reflected higher oil and gas operating costs, including workovers and maintenance activity and higher support costs. The increase in interest and debt expense, net, for the six-month periods was mainly due to the $163 million early debt extinguishment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2011.

The increase in provision for domestic and foreign income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with the same periods of 2010, reflected higher pre-tax income, partially offset by lower effective tax rates. The lower tax rates are due to higher proportionate domestic income in 2011, compared to 2010. The income from discontinued operations, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily reflected the $144 million after-tax gain recorded from the sale of the Argentine operations.

Selected Analysis of Financial Position

See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for discussion about the change in cash and cash equivalents.

The increase in trade receivables, net, reflected higher oil and NGL sales prices in the second quarter of 2011, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in assets of discontinued operations was due to the sale of Occidental’s Argentine operations, which closed in February 2011. The increase in inventories reflected 2011 production which had not been lifted as of the end of the second quarter and higher third-party marketing activity. The decrease in prepaid expenses and other reflected the closing of the South Texas acquisition in January 2011, for which a deposit was made in 2010. The increase in property, plant and equipment, net, reflected capital expenditures of approximately $3 billion and acquisitions of $4.1 billion, partially offset by DD&A.

The increase in short-term borrowings reflected $500 million net borrowings for short-term needs, all of which have been repaid. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to the increase in the price of crude oil and higher capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2011, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease in accrued liabilities was primarily due to mark-to-market activity for derivative financial instruments. The decrease in liabilities of discontinued operations was due to the sale of Occidental’s Argentine operations. The decrease in long-term debt, net, reflected the first quarter 2011 early redemption of $1.4 billion of senior notes. The increase in deferred and other domestic and foreign income taxes was due to higher capital expenditures. The increase in stockholder’s equity reflected net income for the first six months of 2011, partially offset by dividend payments.

Segment Operations

Occidental conducts its continuing operations through three segments: (1) oil and gas; (2) chemical; and (3) midstream and marketing. The oil and gas segment explores for, develops, produces and markets crude oil, NGL and condensate (collectively “liquids”), and natural gas. The chemical segment manufactures and markets basic chemicals, vinyls and other chemicals. The midstream and marketing segment gathers, treats, processes, transports, stores, purchases and markets liquids, natural gas, CO 2 and power. It also trades around its assets, including pipelines and storage capacity, and trades oil and gas, other commodities and commodity-related securities.

The following table sets forth the sales and earnings of each operating segment and corporate items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

Oil and Gas Segment

The following tables set forth the sales and production volumes of crude oil, NGL and natural gas per day for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The differences between the sales volumes and production per day are generally due to the timing of shipments at Occidental’s international locations where product is loaded onto tankers. In addition, Occidental has not had a lifting in Iraq as of June 30, 2011, but expects to have a lifting in the third quarter of 2011.

(a)	Includes volumes per day of 4 mbbl and 5 mbbl for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, related to the noncontrolling interest in a Colombian subsidiary. On December 31, 2010, Occidental restructured its Colombian operations to take a direct working interest in the related assets. As a result, the 2011 volumes exclude noncontrolling interest volumes.
(b)	For all periods presented, excludes volumes from the Argentine operations sold in February 2011.
(c)	Natural gas volumes have been converted to barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) based on energy content of 6,000 cubic feet (one thousand cubic feet is referred to as “Mcf”) of gas to one barrel of oil. Barrels of oil equivalence does not necessarily result in price equivalence. The price of natural gas on a barrel of oil equivalent basis has been substantially lower than the corresponding price for crude oil over the recent past.

Oil and gas segment earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, were $2.6 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively, compared to $1.9 billion and $3.7 billion for the same periods of 2010. The increase in oil and gas segment earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the same periods of 2010, reflected higher crude oil and NGL prices, partially offset by higher operating costs, while the increase for the six months also reflected higher sales volumes.

In the second quarter of 2011, the average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price was $102.56 per barrel and the average New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) price for natural gas was $4.23 per million British Thermal Units (BTUs), compared to $78.03 per barrel and $4.18 per million BTUs, respectively, for the second quarter of 2010. The realized worldwide crude oil price for the second quarter of 2011, $103.12, was 101 percent of the average WTI price for that period. Based on the current levels of production and prices, a $1.00 per barrel change in crude oil and NGL prices would have an estimated effect on quarterly pre-tax income of approximately $37 million and $7 million, respectively. A $0.50 per million BTU change in domestic natural gas prices would have an estimated effect on quarterly pre-tax income of approximately $34 million. If production levels change, the sensitivity of Occidental’s results to oil, NGL and gas prices also would change.

Oil and gas production in the second quarter of 2011 was 715,000 BOE per day, compared with 701,000 BOE per day (net of noncontrolling interest) for the same period of 2010. As a result of higher year-over-year average oil prices and other factors affecting production sharing and similar contracts, production was reduced in the Middle East/North Africa and Colombia by 11,000 BOE per day, with another 1,000 BOE per day reduction in Long Beach. The second quarter 2011 production volume increase was a result of 42,000 BOE per day higher domestic volumes partially offset by reduced Middle East/North Africa production. The domestic increase was mainly from the new acquisitions in South Texas and the Williston Basin in North Dakota. The Middle East/North Africa production was lower primarily due to the lack of production in Libya, price impacts and other factors affecting production sharing contracts and planned maintenance and mechanical issues in Qatar, partially offset by production from Iraq coming on line in 2011 and higher volumes from the Mukhaizna field in Oman. Daily sales volumes were flat at 705,000 BOE per day in the second quarter of 2011, compared with the second quarter of 2010 (net of noncontrolling interest). Sales volumes generally differ from production volumes due to the timing of liftings in Occidental’s international operations.

Oil and gas production volumes for the first six months were 723,000 BOE per day for 2011, compared with 701,000 BOE per day (net of noncontrolling interest) for the 2010 period. Higher year-over-year average oil prices and other factors affecting production sharing and similar contracts lowered the Middle East/North Africa, Long Beach and Colombia production by 14,000 BOE per day. Domestic BOE volumes increased primarily due

to new operations in South Texas and the Williston Basin, partially offset by lower gas volumes in California. The Middle East/North Africa’s BOE production declined due to price impacts and other factors affecting production sharing contracts, lower production in Libya and planned maintenance in Dolphin. Partially offsetting these declines were increases from the new production in Iraq and higher production in the Mukhaizna field in Oman. Daily sales volumes were 717,000 BOE per day in the first six months of 2011, compared with 695,000 BOE per day (net of noncontrolling interest) for 2010. An increase in oil prices of $5.00 per barrel from the second quarter 2011 levels would result in approximately 3,500 BOE per day lower production due to the impact of higher prices affecting Occidental’s production sharing and similar contracts.

Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production and property taxes, increased from $10.19 per BOE for the total year 2010 to $11.88 per BOE for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase for the six months of 2011 reflected increased workovers and maintenance activity and higher support costs. Taxes other than on income, which are directly related to product prices, were $2.36 per BOE for the first six months of 2011, compared to $1.83 per BOE for the total year 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2011, Occidental paid approximately $3.4 billion for domestic acquisitions, which included oil and gas properties in South Texas, California and the Permian Basin.

In the first quarter of 2011, Occidental acquired a 40-percent participating interest in Al Hosn, the high sulfur gas development project of the Shah Field in Abu Dhabi. Occidental partnered with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in a 30-year joint venture agreement for the $10 billion project, of which Occidental’s portion is approximately $4 billion. In May 2011, Occidental paid approximately $500 million for its share of development expenditures incurred by the project prior to the date the final agreement was signed.

In December 2010, Occidental executed an agreement with a subsidiary of China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) to sell its Argentine oil and gas operations for after-tax proceeds of approximately $2.6 billion. Occidental recorded a pre-tax gain of $225 million when the sale closed in February 2011.

Occidental has ceased its exploration activity in Libya due to the ongoing political unrest there and sanctions imposed by the United States government in February 2011. As a result, Occidental wrote off the entire amount of the capitalized and suspended exploration costs incurred to date, including lease acquisition costs, of approximately $35 million in the first quarter of 2011. The producing fields in Libya are operated by Libyan companies and the impact of the current situation on those operations is uncertain at this time. Further, United States sanctions currently prevent Occidental from participating in those operations. The net book value of Occidental’s Libyan producing properties as of June 30, 2011 was $847 million. At December 31, 2010, these properties had net proved reserves estimated at 57 million barrels, approximately 2 percent of Occidental’s total proved reserves. Occidental Libya’s 2010 sales and production volumes were 13,000 BOE per day, representing less than 2 percent of Occidental’s worldwide volumes. Going forward, Occidental will not report any production from Libya until permitted. Occidental’s Libyan operations, excluding exploration costs, had $25 million and $31 million of after-tax income and cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Chemical Segment

Chemical segment earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, were $253 million and $472 million, respectively, compared to $108 million and $138 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2010. The three- and six-month results reflect continued strong export sales demand and higher margins resulting from improved supply and demand balances across most products.

Midstream, Marketing and Other Segment

Midstream and marketing segment earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $187 million and $13 million, respectively. Higher earnings for the second quarter of 2011 were primarily due to higher margins in the marketing business and improved earnings in the pipeline businesses.

Midstream and marketing segment earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $301 million and $107 million, respectively. Earnings for the first six months of 2011 reflect higher margins in the marketing and trading business and improved results in the pipeline businesses.

Corporate

In March 2011, Occidental redeemed all of its $1.0 billion 7-percent senior notes due 2013 and all of its $368 million 6.75-percent senior notes due 2012. Occidental recorded a $163 million pre-tax charge related to this redemption in the first quarter of 2011. In March 2011, Occidental borrowed $1.0 billion for short-term cash needs, all of which was repaid in April 2011. In June 2011, Occidental borrowed $500 million for short-term cash needs, all of which was repaid in July 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2011 , Occidental had approximately $2.0 billion in cash on hand. Available but unused lines of committed bank credit totaled approximately $1.0 billion at June 30, 2011 . Income and cash flows are largely dependent on crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices and sales volumes, all of which increased in the first six months of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, except domestic natural gas prices. Occidental believes that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its operating needs and planned capital expenditures, dividends and any debt payments.

Occidental’s cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $5.6 billion, compared to $4.3 billion for the same period in 2010. The most important sources of the increase in operating cash flow in 2011, compared to 2010, were higher worldwide crude oil and NGL prices, as well as higher oil, NGL and gas sales volumes. In the first six months of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, Occidental's average worldwide realized prices for crude oil and NGL were 31 and 21 percent higher, respectively, while the average realized natural gas price decreased 13 percent in the U.S., where approximately 63 percent of Occidental’s natural gas was produced. The overall impact of the chemical and midstream and marketing segments’ margins on cash flow was less significant than the increases in oil and gas segment cash flow because the chemical and midstream and marketing segments are significantly smaller.

Occidental’s net cash used by investing activities was $4.3 billion for the first six months of 2011, compared to $2.4 billion for the same period of 2010. The 2011 amount included payments of $3.9 billion for acquisitions of various interests in domestic oil and gas properties and the Shah Field Development Project and $2.6 billion of cash received from the sale of the Argentine discontinued operations. The 2010 amount included payments of $460 million for acquisitions of various interests in domestic oil and gas properties and approximately $200 million for foreign contracts. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2011 were $3.0 billion, including $2.5 billion for oil and gas. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2010 were $1.6 billion, including $1.2 billion for oil and gas.

Occidental’s net cash used by financing activities was $1.9 billion in the first six months of 2011, compared to net cash used by financing activities of $836 million for the same period of 2010. The 2011 amount included the early repayment of $1.5 billion of Occidental’s debt, net short-term borrowings of $500 million, dividend payments of $685 million and $121 million of distributions paid to a noncontrolling interest partner. The 2010 amount included the repayment of $299 million of Occidental’s debt and dividend payments of $538 million.

As of June 30, 2011, under the most restrictive covenants of its financing agreements, Occidental had substantial capacity for additional unsecured borrowings, the payment of cash dividends and other distributions on, or acquisitions of, Occidental stock.

Occidental’s capital spending estimate for 2011 is approximately $6.8 billion and Occidental will focus on the goal of keeping Occidental’s returns well above its cost of capital.

Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures

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

The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and foreign 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 June 30, 2011, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 168 sites. The following table presents Occidental’s environmental remediation reserves as of June 30, 2011, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($78 million) and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities — other ($285 million). The reserves are grouped as environmental remediation sites listed or proposed for listing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 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.

			Reserve Balance
	Number of Sites		(in millions)
NPL sites		38		$	55
Third-party sites		80			97
Occidental-operated sites		21			117
Closed or non-operated Occidental sites		29			94
Total		168		$	363

As of June 30, 2011, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million at 11 of the 168 sites described above, and 119 of the sites had reserves from $0 to $1 million each. Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to about half of the current environmental reserves over the next four years and the balance over the subsequent ten or more years. Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional loss beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at the sites described above could be up to $375 million. The status of Occidental’s involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions have not changed materially since December 31, 2010.

Refer to the “Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Occidental’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information regarding Occidental’s environmental expenditures.

Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters

OPC or certain of its subsidiaries are named, 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, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. OPC or certain of its subsidiaries also have been named 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; however, Occidental is usually one of many companies in these proceedings and has to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. The ultimate amount of losses and the timing of any such losses that Occidental may incur resulting from currently outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be determined reliably at this time. Occidental accrues reserves for all of these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reserve balances as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were not material to Occidental's consolidated balance sheets. Occidental also evaluates the amount of reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur as a result of the matters mentioned above. Occidental has disclosed its range of reasonably possible losses for sites where it is a participant in environmental remediation. Occidental believes that other reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur in excess of reserves accrued on the balance sheet would not be material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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. While the audits of corporate tax returns for taxable years through 2008 have concluded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the 2009 through 2011 taxable years are currently under review by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program. Taxable years from 2000 through the current year remain subject to examination by foreign and state government tax authorities in certain jurisdictions. In certain of these jurisdictions, tax authorities are in various stages of auditing Occidental’s income taxes. 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.

Occidental has indemnified various parties against specified liabilities that 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 June 30, 2011, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to future indemnity claims against it in connection with these transactions that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.

Controls and Procedures

Occidental's President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, Occidental's President and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Occidental's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the second quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Occidental's internal control over financial reporting.
