OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 20182019


1.Note 1 - General


Nature of Operations
In these unaudited, consolidated, condensed financial statements,this report, "Occidental" means Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (OPC), or OPC and one or more entities in which it owns a controlling interest (subsidiaries). Occidental conducts its operations through various subsidiaries and affiliates. On August 8, 2019, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 9, 2019 (the Merger Agreement), among Occidental, Baseball Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental (Merger Subsidiary), and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko), Occidental acquired all of the outstanding shares of Anadarko through a transaction in which Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Anadarko (the Merger), with Anadarko continuing as the surviving entity and as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental. See Note 3 - The Merger.

Occidental's principal businesses consist of 4 reporting segments: Oil and Gas, Chemical, Marketing and Other Midstream, and WES Midstream, which includes the operations of Western Midstream Partners, LP (WES), a publicly traded limited partnership and a consolidated subsidiary of OPC. The Oil and Gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL) and natural gas. The Chemical segment (OxyChem) mainly manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The Marketing and Other Midstream 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, and invests in entities that conduct similar activities. Also within the Marketing and Other Midstream segment is Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV). OLCV seeks to capitalize on Occidental’s enhanced oil recovery (EOR) leadership by developing carbon capture, utilization and storage projects that source anthropogenic carbon dioxide and promote innovative technologies that drive cost efficiencies and grow Occidental’s business while reducing emissions. The WES Midstream segment owns gathering systems, plants and pipelines and earns revenue from fee-based and service-based contracts with Occidental and third parties. WES is a variable interest entity (VIE) to Occidental.

Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of OPC, its subsidiaries, VIEs for which Occidental is the primary beneficiary, and its undivided interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures. Occidental has made its disclosures in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)GAAP as they apply to interim reporting, and condensed or omitted, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’sCommission's rules and regulations, certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements and the notes. These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Occidental’sOccidental's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 (the 2018 Form 10-K).

The Merger, including the addition of WES Midstream as a new reporting segment, introduced different revenue and expense streams to Occidental's legacy operations. As a result, changes were made to the structure of certain financial statements, notes and supplementary data to provide clarity and to conform to the current presentation.

Variable Interest Entities
Occidental, through its ownership of the general partner interest in WES, has the power to direct the activities that significantly affect the economic performance of WES and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to WES; therefore, Occidental is considered the primary beneficiary and consolidates WES and all of its consolidated subsidiaries. WES maintains its own capital structure that is separate from Occidental, consisting of its own debt instruments and publicly traded common units. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The assets of WES and its subsidiaries cannot be used by Occidental for general corporate purposes and are included in and disclosed parenthetically on Occidental's consolidated condensed balance sheets, if material. The carrying amount of liabilities related to WES for which the creditors do not have recourse to Occidental's assets are also included in and disclosed parenthetically on Occidental's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, if material.


In the opinion of Occidental’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present Occidental’s consolidated financial position as of
All outstanding debt for WES at September 30, 20182019, including any borrowings under the WES revolving credit facility (WES RCF) and WES Term Loan Facility, is recourse to the general partner of Western Midstream Operating, LP (WES Operating), which in turn has been indemnified in certain circumstances by certain indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Occidental for such liabilities. See Note 9 - Long-Term Debt.

WES's sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, cash flows generated from operations, interest income from a note receivable from Anadarko, borrowings under the WES RCF, the issuance of additional partnership units, and debt offerings.

Concurrent with the closing of its May 2008 initial public offering, WES Operating loaned Anadarko $260 million in exchange for a 30-year note bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 6.50%, payable quarterly. The note receivable and related interest income are eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling Interest
WES is a publicly traded limited partnership with its common units traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol "WES." WES also owns the entire non-economic general partner interest and a 98% limited partner interest in WES Operating, a Delaware limited partnership formed by Anadarko in 2007 to acquire, own, develop and operate midstream assets. In addition, Occidental has a 2% limited partner interest in WES Operating and its ownership is held through the investment in WES.

At September 30, 2019, Occidental’s ownership interest in WES consisted of the entire non-economic general partner interest and a 55.4% limited partner interest. The noncontrolling interest primarily consists of the 44.6% limited partner interest of WES owned by the public.

Discontinued Operations
In connection with the Merger, Occidental agreed to sell to TOTAL S.A. (Total) all of the assets, liabilities, businesses, and operations of Anadarko's operations in Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique and South Africa (collectively, the Africa Assets) for $8.8 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. In August 2019, a purchase and sale agreement was executed for these Africa Assets. This transaction is conditioned on the receipt of required regulatory approvals, as well as other customary closing conditions. On September 27, 2019, Occidental completed the sale of Anadarko’s Mozambique LNG assets to Total for $4.2 billion. The assets and liabilities for Algeria, Ghana and South Africa, are presented as held for sale at September 30, 2019. The results of operations of the Africa Assets are presented as discontinued operations, see Note 4 - Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Other.

Unless otherwise indicated, information presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements relates only to Occidental's continuing operations. Information related to discontinued operations is included in Note 4 - Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Other, and in some instances, where appropriate, is included as a separate disclosure within the consolidated statementsindividual Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill resulting from the Merger was assigned to WES Midstream and represents the excess of operations, comprehensivethe purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is subject to annual impairment testing. Changes in goodwill may result from, among other things, finalization of preliminary purchase price allocations, impairments, additional acquisitions, or divestitures. See Note 3 - The Merger.

Other intangible assets represent contractual rights obtained in connection with the Merger that had favorable contractual terms relative to market terms as well as customer-related intangible assets, including customer relationships. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are assessed for impairment with the associated long-lived asset group whenever impairment indicators are present. See Note 3 - The Merger.



Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Occidental paid international and domestic state income fortaxes of $751 million and $838 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Occidental received domestic state tax refunds of $2 million in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2017,2018. NaN federal income tax payments were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018. Interest paid totaled $610 million and $298 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents
Occidental considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash flowsequivalents or restricted cash equivalents. The cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents balance at September 30, 2019, includes investments in government money market funds in which the carrying value approximates fair value.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as reported at the end of the period in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017. Certain data in the financial statements and notes for prior periods have been reclassified to conform2019 to the current presentation. The income and cash flows forline items within the periods ended Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2018, and 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the income or cash flows to be expected for the full year.

2. Asset Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other

In September 2018, Occidental divested non-core domestic midstream assets for total consideration of $2.6 billion, of which approximately $2.4 billion2019. There was received at closing, resulting in a pre-tax net gain of $902 million. These assets include the Centurion common carrier oil pipeline and storage system, Southeast New Mexico oil gathering system, and Ingleside Crude Terminal. Following the transaction, Occidental retained its long-term flow assurance, pipeline takeaway and export capacity through its retained marketing business.

In July 2018, Occidental acquired the previously leased power and steam cogeneration facility in Louisiana for $443 million, with one payment of approximately $60 million remaining to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2018.

In March 2018, Occidental divested non-core midstream assets for approximately $150 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $43 million.

In March 2018, Occidental issued $1.0 billion of 4.2-percent senior notes due 2048. Occidental received net proceeds of approximately $985 million. Interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears in March and September of each year, beginning on September 15, 2018. The proceeds were used to refinance the repayment of the $500 million aggregate principal amount of Occidental's 1.5-percent senior notes due in February 2018, with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes.

In January 2018, Occidental entered into a new five-year, $3.0 billion revolving credit facility (2018 Credit Facility), replacing the previous credit facility that was scheduled to expire in August 2019. The 2018 Credit Facility has similar terms to the previous credit facility and does not contain material adverse change clauses or debt ratings triggers that could restrict Occidental's ability to borrow under the facility.

3. Accounting and Disclosure Changes

In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released standards that allow the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of stranded tax effects resulting from changes to U.S. federal tax law from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017. Occidental early adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2018, resulting in the reclassification of $58 million in stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.



In the first quarter of 2018, Occidental adopted the new revenue recognition standard Topic 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and related updates (ASC 606). The new standard requires more detailed disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Occidental adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. The cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption was not material. See Note 4 Revenue Recognition.

In March 2017, FASB issued guidance related to presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The rules became effective in the first quarter of 2018. These rules did not have a material impact to Occidental's financial statements upon adoption.

In January 2017, FASB issued new guidance clarifying the definition of a business under the topic Business Combinations. The rules became effective in the first quarter of 2018, and did not have a material impact to Occidental's financial statements upon adoption.

In November 2016, FASB issued new guidance related to the cash flow classification and presentation of the changes inno restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The rules became effective in the first quarter of 2018 and must be applied retrospectively. Occidental did not haveor restricted cash as ofequivalents at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017.2018.

Total restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are primarily associated with a benefits trust for former Anadarko employees that was funded as part of the Merger, payments of future hard-minerals royalties conveyed, and a judicially-controlled account related to a Brazilian tax dispute.

Note 2 - Accounting and Disclosure Changes

In January 2019, Occidental adopted the classification of certain cash receipts and payments on the statement of cash flows.new lease standard Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 - Leases (ASC 842). The rules were adopted for the first quarter of 2018 and resulted in the retrospective reclassification of $135 million of cash receipts from operating cash flows to investing cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, within the Statement of Cash Flows.

In February 2016, FASB issued rules which requirenew standard requires Occidental to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the balance sheet. The new rules require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset (ROU) and lease liability for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The lease liability representsOccidental adopted the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments. The corresponding right-of-use asset includesstandard using the discounted obligation in addition to any upfront payment or cost incurred during contract execution of the lease. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. Occidental is the lessee under various agreements for real estate, equipment, plants and facilities, aircraft and information technology hardware that are currently accounted for as operating leases. As a result, these new rules will increase reported assets and liabilities. Occidental will not be an early adopter of this standard. Occidental will apply the revised lease rules for its interim and annual reporting periods starting January 1, 2019, using a modified retrospective approach, including adopting several optional practical expedients related to leases that commenced before the effective date. Occidental is currently evaluating the effect of these rules on its financial statements, training employees, working with third-party consultants and has developed an internal interim software solution for the identification, documentation, tracking and accounting of leases as a means of an adoption plan based on Occidental's population of leases under the revised definition of leases. Occidental is currently in the test phase and continues to evaluate existing and new lease contracts for compliance, including performing various procedures to assess completeness in population and evaluating right-of-way contract structures under the new guidance to determine future impacts from adoption. The quantitative impacts of the new standard are dependent on the leases in force at the time of adoption. As a result, the evaluation of the effect of the new standard is ongoing.expedients. See Note 10 - Lease Commitments.

Note 3 - The Merger

On January 1, 2018,May 9, 2019, Occidental adopted ASC 606entered into the Merger Agreement with Anadarko. On August 8, 2019, Anadarko’s stockholders voted to approve the Merger and it was made effective the same day. The Merger added to Occidental's oil and gas portfolio, primarily in the Permian Basin, DJ Basin and Gulf of Mexico, and a controlling interest in WES.

In exchange for each share of Anadarko common stock, Anadarko stockholders received $59.00 in cash and 0.2934 of a share of Occidental common stock, plus cash in lieu of any fractional share of Occidental common stock that otherwise would have been issued, based on the average price of $46.31 per share of Occidental common stock on the NYSE on August 8, 2019.

In connection with the Merger, Occidental issued $13.0 billion of new senior unsecured notes, $8.8 billion of term loans (the Term Loans) and 100,000 shares of series A preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) with a warrant to purchase 80 million shares of Occidental common stock at an exercise price of $62.50 (the Warrant) for $10 billion. In addition, Occidental increased its existing $3.0 billion revolving credit facility by an additional $2.0 billion in commitments. See Note 9 - Long-term DebtandNote 14 - Stockholders' Equity for additional information.

The Merger constitutes a business combination and was accounted for using the modified retrospective method. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted.

The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets and liabilities acquired based upon their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the Merger. The valuation of certain assets, including property and intangible assets, are based on preliminary appraisals. The majority of measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, other than debt, are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of acquired properties and equipment is based on both available market data and a cost approach. Oil and natural gas properties were valued using either available market data based on the nature of the properties and the location or an income approach. Intangible assets primarily consist of third-party customer contracts, the fair value of which was determined using an income approach. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences in the tax basis and merger-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The measurement of debt instruments was based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market and are primarily Level 1; approximately $6.1 billion of the assumed debt is considered Level 2. The value of derivative instruments was based on observable inputs, primarily forward commodity-price and interest-rate curves and is considered Level 2.



The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired totaled $6.1 billion in goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the difference in the WES Midstream market capitalization value at the date of the Merger and the WES Midstream net assets acquired, and primarily represents the intrinsic value of the customer relationship between WES Midstream and Occidental.

With the completion of the Merger, Occidental acquired proved and unproved properties of approximately $18.2 billion and $26.0 billion, respectively, primarily associated with the Permian Basin, DJ Basin, Gulf of Mexico and Powder River Basin. The remaining $5.0 billion is related to land, mineral interests and corporate properties.

Other intangible assets of $2.4 billion primarily relate to customer contracts associated with the WES Midstream segment. These contracts are amortized over 25 years. The annual aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets is expected to be $108 million.

From the date of the Merger through September 30, 2019, revenues and net loss attributable to common stockholders associated with Anadarko assets totaled $1.5 billion and $400 million, respectively.

The following summarizes the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of Occidental as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2018:

The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Merger been completed at January 1, 2018, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma information for 2019 and 2018 is a result of combining the three and nine months statements of operations of Occidental with the pre-merger results from January 1, 2019, and 2018 of Anadarko and includes adjustments for revenues and direct expenses. The pro forma results exclude results from the Africa Assets and the impact of any merger-related costs. The pro forma results include adjustments to DD&A (Depreciation, depletion and amortization) based on the purchase price allocated to property, plant, and equipment and intangibles and the estimated useful lives as well as adjustments to interest expense. The pro forma adjustments include estimates and assumptions based on currently available information. Management believes the estimates and assumptions are reasonable, and the relative effects of the Merger are properly reflected. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect any cost savings anticipated as a result of the Merger or any merger-related costs.



Anadarko Merger-Related Costs
The following table summarizes the merger-related costs incurred:
millions Three months ended September 30, 2019 Nine months ended September 30, 2019
Employee severance and related cost $459

$459
Licensing fees for critical seismic data 329

354
Bank, legal and consulting fees 136

161
Total $924

$974
     


Employee severance and related cost primarily relates to one-time severance costs and the accelerated vesting of certain Anadarko share-based awards for former Anadarko employees based on the terms of the Merger Agreement and existing change of control provisions within the former Anadarko employment agreements. In addition, employee severance and related cost includes expenses for a voluntary separation program for eligible employees. Occidental initiated this program to align the size and composition of its workforce with its expected future operating and capital plans. Employee notifications related to the voluntary separation program were ongoing at September 30, 2019, with additional expenses associated with the program expected to be incurred throughout the remainder of 2019 and through most of 2020.

The seismic licensing fees relate to relicensing of critical seismic data related to the Gulf of Mexico, Permian Basin and DJ Basin that Anadarko had licensed from third-party vendors. The third-party vendors who own the seismic data require a transfer fee in order for Occidental to use the data.

Occidental Stock-based Incentive Plans
On the date of the Merger, Occidental issued restricted share awards covering 1.7 million shares of common stock in exchange for Anadarko stock-based incentive shares to the former Anadarko employees. These restricted shares vest in periods ranging from one month to 3.5 years and are conditioned solely on the employees' continued service, with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $47.13 and a weighted-average remaining life of 1.3 years. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, these restricted share awards would be subject to accelerated vesting based on a qualifying termination event.





Note 4 - Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transactions

On September 27, 2019, Occidental completed the sale of Anadarko’s Mozambique LNG assets to Total for $4.2 billion, with proceeds used to pay down a portion of the Term Loans. Occidental and Total continue to work toward completing the sales of the remaining Africa Assets. Occidental anticipates that the remaining sales will be completed before June 2020. The carrying amount of the remaining Africa Assets will be adjusted in future periods based on changes in fair value. The results of the Africa Assets are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Cash Flows.

The following table presents the amounts reported in discontinued operations, net of income taxes, related to the Africa Assets subsequent to the Merger closing date through September 30, 2019:

Sale of Plains Investment
On September 23, 2019, Occidental sold its remaining equity investment in Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. and Plains GP Holdings, L.P. (together, Plains) for net proceeds of $646 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $111 million. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the Term Loans.

Ecopetrol Joint Venture
On July 31, 2019, Occidental and Ecopetrol entered into definitive agreements to form a joint venture to develop approximately 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, up to $750 million. The joint venture allows Occidental to accelerate its development plans in the Midland Basin, where it currently has minimal activity. Occidental will retain production and cash flow from its existing operations in the Midland Basin. This transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.



Note 5 - Revenue Recognition

Revenue from customers is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customercustomers are satisfied; this generally occurs with the delivery of oil, gas, natural gas liquids ("NGL"),NGL, chemicals or services, such as transportation. Revenue from customers is measured as the amount of consideration Occidental expects to receive in exchange for the delivery of goods or services. Contracts may last from one month to one year or more, and may have renewal terms that extend indefinitely at the option of either party. Price is typically based on market indexes. Volumes fluctuate due to production and, in certain cases, customer demand and transportation availability. Occidental


records revenue net of certain taxes, such as sales taxes, that are assessed by governmental authorities on Occidental's customers. Occidental has elected a practical expedient under ASC 606 and will not disclose revenue recognizable in future periods for unsatisfied performance obligations because the consideration related to those performance obligations is based on volume or market prices, which are variable.

Occidental does not incur significant costs to obtain contracts. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Sales of hydrocarbons and chemicals to customers are invoiced and settled on a monthly basis. Occidental is not usually subject to obligations for warranties, returns or refunds except in the case of customer incentive payments as discussed for the chemical segment below. Occidental does not typically receive payment in advance of satisfying its obligations under the terms of its sales contracts with customers; therefore, liabilities related to such payment are immaterial to Occidental. As of September 30, 2018,2019, trade receivables, net, of $6.0$5.9 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.

Oil and Gas Segment

Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized when it is delivered and control passes to the customer. Revenues from the production of oil and gas properties in which Occidental has an interest with other producers are recognized on the basis of Occidental’s net revenue interest.

Chemical Segment

Revenue from chemical product sales is recognized when control passes to the customer. Certain incentive programs may provide for payments or credits to be made to customers based on the volume of product purchased over a defined period. Customer incentives are estimated and recorded as a reduction to revenue ratably over the contract period. Such estimates are evaluated and revised as warranted. Revenue from exchange contracts is excluded from revenue from customers.

Midstream and Marketing Segment

Revenue from pipeline and gas processing is recognized upon the completion of the transportation or processing service. Revenue from power sales is recognized upon delivery. Net marketing margin is included in net sales, but excluded from revenue from customers. Net marketing margin is recognized upon completion of contract terms that are a prerequisite to payment and upon title transfer for physical deliveries. Unless normal sales treatment has been elected, net marketing margin is classified as a derivative, reported on a net basis, recorded at fair value and changes in fair value are reflected in net sales.


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

Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities relate to WES fees and capital reimbursements that are charged to customers for only a portion of the contract term and must be recognized as revenues over the expected period of benefit, fixed and variable fees that are received from customers but revenue recognition is deferred under midstream cost of service contracts, and hard-minerals bonus payments received from customers that must be recognized as revenue over the expected period of benefit.

The following table summarizes current period activity related to contract liabilities from contracts with customers:

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
Revenue expected to be recognized from certain performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of September 30, 2019, is reflected in the table below. Occidental applies the optional exemptions in Topic 606 and does not disclose consideration for remaining performance obligations with an original expected duration of one year or less or for variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations. As a result, the following table represents a small portion of Occidental's expected future consolidated revenues, as future revenue from the sale of most products and services is dependent on future production or variable customer volume and variable commodity prices for that volume:

Note 7 - Derivative Instruments

Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity-price fluctuations and transportation commitments, to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes and interest rate risks. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are purchased or sold to a customer. Occidental occasionally applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecasted sales of its natural gas storage volumes, and at times for other strategies, such as to lock rates on forecasted debt issuances. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty.


5. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
As of September 30, 2019, Occidental's derivatives not designated as hedges consist of three-way oil collars and call options, interest rate swaps, marketing derivatives and the Warrant.

Derivative instruments that are derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the statement of operations and balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value will impact Occidental's earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled. The fair value does not reflect the realized or cash value of the instrument.

Three-way Oil Collars and Call Options
In 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 ceiling price that Occidental will receive for the contracted commodity volume for a defined period of time. The purchased put establishes the floor price that Occidental will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the floor price equals the reference price plus the difference between the purchased put strike price and the sold put strike price for a defined period of time. Occidental entered into the 2021 call options to substantially improve the ceiling price that Occidental will receive for the contracted commodity volumes in 2020. In the Merger, Occidental also assumed three-way costless collars that expire throughout the rest of 2019. Net gains and losses associated with collars and calls are recognized currently in net sales. Hedge accounting was not elected for these contracts.

Occidental had the following collars and calls outstanding at September 30, 2019:
Collars and Calls, not designated as hedges

Three-way collars (Oil MMBL)  8.0
 Average price per barrel (NYMEX/Brent oil pricing)

Call Options sold (Oil MMBL)  109.5
 Average price per barrel (Brent oil pricing)   
  Ceiling sold price (call)  $74.09


Occidental Interest Rate Swaps (Excluding WES Midstream)
Occidental acquired interest rate swap contracts in the Merger. The contracts lock in a fixed interest rate in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) throughout the reference period. Net gains and losses associated with interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in losses on interest rate swaps and warrants, net.



Occidental paid foreignhad the following outstanding interest rate swaps at September 30, 2019:
millions except percentages   Mandatory Weighted-Average

Depending on market conditions, liability-management actions or other factors, Occidental may enter into offsetting interest rate swap positions or settle or amend certain or all of the currently outstanding interest rate swaps.

Derivative settlements and domestic state income taxescollateralization are classified as cash flows from operating activities unless the derivatives contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case the settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from financing activities. As a result of $838 millionprior extensions of reference-period start dates without settlement of the related interest rate derivative obligations, the interest rate derivatives in Occidental's portfolio contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, and $553therefore, any settlements, collateralization or cash payments for amendments related to these extended interest rate derivatives are classified as cash flows from financing activities. Net cash payments related to settlements and amendments of interest rate swap agreements were $43 million during the period from August 8, 2019, through September 30, 2019. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, Occidental settled interest rate swaps that had a mandatory termination date of October 11, 2019, and a notional value of $125 million.

WES Interest Rate Swaps
In the Merger, Occidental also acquired interest rate swap contracts held by WES. WES exchanged a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR for a fixed interest rate. Net gains and losses associated with these interest rate derivative instruments are recognized currently in losses on interest rate swaps and warrants, net. The following interest rate swaps were outstanding at September 30, 2019:
millions except percentages   Mandatory Weighted-Average
Notional Principal Amount Reference Period Termination Date Interest Rate
$375
  December 2019 - 2024 December 2019 2.662%

$375
  December 2019 - 2049 December 2019 2.885%

Depending on market conditions, liability-management actions, or other factors, WES may settle or amend certain or all of the currently outstanding interest rate swaps.
Marketing Derivatives
Occidental's marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedges are physical and financial forward contracts which typically settle within three months. A substantial majority of Occidental's physically settled derivative contracts are index-based and carry no mark-to-market valuation in earnings. These instruments settle at a weighted-average contract price of $58.39 per barrel and $2.22 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, at September 30, 2019. 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. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in net sales.

The following table summarizes net long/(short) volumes associated with the outstanding marketing commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

The Warrant
The Warrant issued with the Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger is exercisable at the holder's option, in whole or in part, until the first anniversary of the date on which no shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding at which point the Warrant expires. The holder of the Warrant may require net cash settlement if certain shareholder and regulatory approvals to issue Occidental common stock are not obtained on a timely basis. The initial fair value of the Warrant, $188 million, was measured at the date of the Merger using the Black Scholes option model. The following inputs were used in the Black Scholes option model; the expected life is based on the estimated term of the Warrant, the volatility factor is based on historical volatilities of Occidental common stock, and the call option price for Occidental common stock at $62.50. The fair value of the Warrant is remeasured each reporting period based on changes in the inputs above.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Net gains and losses attributable to derivative instruments subject to cash flow hedge accounting reside in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are reclassified to earnings as the transactions to which the derivatives relate are recognized in earnings.

Cash Flow Hedges
Occidental’s marketing operations store natural gas purchased from third parties at Occidental’s leased storage facilities. Derivative instruments are used to fix margins on the future sales of the stored volumes. As of September 30, 2019, Occidental had approximately 5 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas held in storage, and had cash flow hedges for the forecast sales, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 3 Bcf of stored natural gas. As of December 31, 2018, Occidental had approximately 5 Bcf of natural gas held in storage, and had cash flow hedges for the forecasted sales, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 4 Bcf of stored natural gas. The fair value of the cash flow hedges associated with stored natural gas was immaterial at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The ineffective portion recognized through earnings was immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018.

In June 2019, in anticipation of issuing debt in the third quarter to partially finance the cash portion of the Merger consideration, Occidental entered into a series of U.S. treasury locks which were designated as cash flow hedges. In August 2019, the U.S. treasury locks were unwound with the issuance of the $13.0 billion new senior unsecured notes, and the resulting after-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss of $125 million will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying senior notes.

Credit Risk
Occidental's counterparty credit risk related to the physical delivery of energy commodities results from its customers' potential 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 over-the-counter derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each party would need to post. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features for which a net liability position existed at September 30, 2019 was $1.6 billion (net of $0.3 billion collateral), primarily related to acquired interest-rate swaps, and $68 million (net of $1 million of collateral) existed at December 31, 2018.



Note 8 - Fair-Value Measurements

Occidental has categorized its assets and $756 million duringliabilities 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.

Fair Values — Recurring
In January 2012, Occidental entered into a long-term contract to purchase CO2. This contract contains a price adjustment clause that is linked to changes in NYMEX crude oil prices. Occidental determined that the portion of this contract linked to NYMEX oil prices is not clearly and closely related to the host contract, and Occidental therefore bifurcated this embedded pricing feature from its host contract and accounts for it at fair value in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
The following tables provide fair-value measurement information for embedded derivatives that are measured on a recurring basis:

Fair-Values — Nonrecurring
During the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, Occidental measured assets and 2017, respectively. Interest paid totaled $298 millionliabilities at merger-date fair value on a nonrecurring basis related to the Merger. See Note 3 - The Merger for more detail.

During the three and $266 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Occidental's Oil and Gas segment recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $285 million related to domestic undeveloped leases that were set to expire in the near term, where Occidental had no plans to pursue exploration activities, and $40 million related to Occidental's mutually agreed early termination of its Qatar Idd El Shargi South Dome (ISSD) contract.

During 2018, Occidental recognized pre-tax impairment and 2017, respectively.related charges of $416 million primarily related to Idd El Shargi North Dome (ISND) and ISSD 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.

Other Financial Instruments
6. InventoriesThe 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. 


Finished goods primarily represents crude oil, caustic soda and vinyl products. InventoriesThe estimated fair value of Occidental’s debt as of September 30, 2019, was $47.8 billion, which included $7.6 billion in debt related to WES. The majority of Occidental's debt is classified as Level 1, with $12.5 billion classified as Level 2. At December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of Occidental's debt was $10.3 billion.

Debt Issued
On August 8, 2019, Occidental issued $13.0 billion of new senior unsecured notes, consisting of both floating and fixed rate debt. Occidental also borrowed under the Term Loans, which consist of: (1) a 364-day senior unsecured variable-rate term loan tranche of $4.4 billion and (2) a two-year senior unsecured variable-rate term loan tranche of $4.4 billion. In total, the $21.8 billion in debt issued was used to finance part of the cash portion of the purchase price for the Merger.

Debt Assumed as Part of the Merger
In the Merger, Occidental assumed Anadarko and WES debt with an outstanding principal balance of $11.9 billion and $4.6 billion, respectively. In addition, WES had borrowings of $2.9 billion under an RCF and term loan facilities at the Merger date. Debt assumed from Anadarko and WES was recorded at fair value at the Merger date, refer to Note 3 - The Merger. In September 2019, Occidental completed its offers to exchange the Anadarko senior notes and debentures assumed as part of the Merger for notes of a corresponding series issued by Occidental and cash, and related solicitation of consents. Of the approximately $11.9 billion in aggregate principal amount of Anadarko senior notes and debentures offered in the exchange, 97 percent, or approximately $11.5 billion, were tendered and accepted in the exchange offers. The portion not exchanged, approximately $400 million, remains outstanding with the original terms.

Debt Repayment
In September 2019, Occidental paid down $4.8 billion on the Term Loans, primarily using proceeds from the sales of both the Anadarko Mozambique LNG asset and Occidental's equity investment in Plains.

WES Debt
Debt related to WES included $4.6 billion in senior unsecured notes, $3.0 billion under the WES Term Loan Facility due December 2020, and $160 million drawn against the WES RCF at September 30, 2019. The WES Term Loan Facility has a maturity date of December 31, 2020 and requires that net cash proceeds received from future asset sales and debt or equity offerings must be used to repay amounts outstanding under the facility, with a $1.0 billion exclusion for debt offering proceeds. The WES RCF has a maturity date of February 2024 and a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion. In September 2019, WES borrowed $1.0 billion under the WES Term Loan Facility and used the funds to repay borrowings under the WES RCF.

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

Zero Coupon Notes Due 2036
The Zero Coupon senior notes due 2036 (Zero Coupons) have an aggregate principal amount due at maturity of approximately $2.3 billion, reflecting an accretion rate of 5.24%. The Zero Coupons can be put to Occidental in October of each year, in whole or in part, for the then-accreted value of the outstanding Zero Coupons. None of the Zero Coupons were put to Occidental in October 2019. The Zero Coupons can next be put to Occidental in October 2020, which, if put in whole, would be $992 million at such date. Occidental has the ability and intent to refinance these obligations using long-term debt should a put be exercised.


Note 10 - Lease Commitments

On January 1, 2019, Occidental adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach, which provided a method for recording existing leases at adoption and did not require restatement of prior year amounts and disclosures, which continue to be reflected in accordance with ASC 840. Occidental elected certain practical expedients as follows:

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 12 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 long-term drilling rig contracts, Occidental bifurcated the lease and non-lease components using relative fair value as a stand-alone selling price between the asset rental and the services obtained.

ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for all long-term leases. A ROU asset represents Occidental’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the associated lease liability represents the discounted obligation of future minimum lease payments. Occidental identifies leases through its accounts payable and contract monitoring process. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The ROU assets include the discounted obligation in addition to any upfront payments or costs incurred during the contract execution of the lease and amortized on a straight-line basis over the course of the lease term. Except for leases with explicitly defined contract terms, Occidental utilizes judgment to assess likelihood of renewals, terminations and purchase options, in order to determine the lease term. Occidental uses the incremental borrowing rate at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate equates to the rate of interest that Occidental would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain leases include variable lease payments which are over and above the minimum lease liability used to derive the ROU asset and lease liability and are based on the underlying asset’s operations. These variable lease costs are reported in the lease cost classification table.

Recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. The criteria for distinguishing between finance and operating leases are substantially similar to the criteria under ASC 840. For Occidental operations, adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recording of net lease assets and lease liabilities of $772 million as of January 1, 2019. There was no material impact to net income, cash flows, or stockholders’ equity.

Merger Impact
ASC 805 Business Combinations requires lease-related assets and liabilities acquired to be measured as if the lease were new at the merger date. Occidental measured the Anadarko legacy lease agreements using an updated incremental borrowing rate curve. This resulted in legacy Anadarko assets and liabilities of $498 million and $574 million, respectively, excluding the Africa Assets at the Merger date. These agreements are still under further review for above-or below-market impacts.



The following table reconciles the undiscounted cash flows related to the operating and finance lease liabilities assumed in the Merger and recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at the Merger date:

Additionally, Occidental has elected short-term lease treatment for those acquired lease contracts which, at the Merger date, have a remaining lease term of 12 months or less. For the leases acquired through the Merger, Occidental will retain the previous lease classification.

Nature of Leases
Occidental’s operating lease agreements include leases for oil and gas exploration and development equipment, including offshore and onshore drilling rigs of $186 million, compressors of $174 million and other field equipment of $97 million, which are recorded gross on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet and in the lease cost disclosures below. Contract expiration terms generally range from two to seven years. Further, 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, rail cars, storage facilities, easements and real estate of $682 million, which typically are not associated with joint-interest recoveries. Real estate leases have contract expiration terms ranging from 1 to 16 years.

Occidental’s finance lease agreements include leases for oil and gas exploration and development equipment, as well as real estate offices, compressors, and field equipment of approximately $100 million.

Note 11 - 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 Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties and injunctive relief. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and have to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. Further, some lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third party or Occidental retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Occidental accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. In Note 12 - 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 September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2017, consisted2018, were not material to Occidental’s Consolidated Condensed 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 following (in millions):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. In the complaint, the Icahn Complainants noted that they had accumulated over $1.6 billion of Occidental Common Stock. On June 14, 2019, Occidental filed an answer to the complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. A trial was held on September 20, 2019, and the parties are awaiting a ruling.

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 Condensed Balance Sheets. If unfavorable outcomes of these matters were to occur, future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Occidental’s estimates are based on information known about the legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Occidental reassesses the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.

Tax Matters
During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions. With the Merger, Occidental maintains 2 separate federal consolidated groups. For the legacy Occidental group, 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.



For Anadarko, taxable years through 2016 for United States federal and state income tax purposes have been audited by the IRS and respective state taxing authorities. While the local country audit of a single foreign tax jurisdiction is open for tax years 2011 through 2013, there are no outstanding significant audit matters in foreign jurisdictions. 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.

The tax deduction for the Tronox Adversary Proceeding (Tronox) settlement payment contributed to a net operating loss reported on Anadarko’s 2015 federal income tax return that was subsequently carried back to previous years and resulted in a tentative cash refund of $881 million of prior taxes paid, which was received in 2016. While Occidental believes it is entitled to this refund, in accordance with ASC 740's guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions, as of September 30, 2019, Occidental has recorded no tax benefit on the tentative cash tax refund of prior federal taxes paid of $881 million. As a result, should Occidental not ultimately prevail on the issue, there would be no tax expense recorded for financial statement purposes other than future interest. However, in that event Occidental would be required to repay approximately $917 million ($898 million federal and $19 million in state taxes) plus accrued interest of approximately $171 million.  

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 September 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.

Purchase Obligations and Commitments
Occidental, its subsidiaries, or both, have entered into agreements providing for future payments to secure terminal and pipeline capacity, drilling rigs and services, electrical power, steam and certain chemical raw materials. Occidental has certain other commitments under contracts, guarantees and joint ventures, including purchase commitments for goods and services at market-related prices and certain other contingent liabilities.

As of September 30, 2019, there were no material changes to Occidental's legacy purchase obligations since disclosure in the 2018 Form 10-K. In the Merger, Occidental assumed purchase obligations of approximately $5.2 billion, which included approximately $315 million, $1.0 billion, $907 million, $735 million, $589 million and $1.6 billion that will be paid for the remainder of 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 and thereafter, respectively. These amounts were discounted at 3.88%. These purchase obligations are related to long-term and work-related commitments for drilling wells, obtaining and processing seismic data, and fulfilling rig commitments, as well as various processing, transportation, storage, and purchase agreements to access markets and provide flexibility to sell its oil, natural gas, and NGL in certain areas.

7.Note 12 - Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures


Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, local, and foreigninternational 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)CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and foreigninternational laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. OPCOccidental 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;disposal; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. TheseThe 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 September 30, 2018,2019, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 146185 sites. The following table presents Occidental’s current and non-current environmental remediation reserves as of September 30, 2018, which were2019. The current portion, $149 million, is included in currentaccrued liabilities ($136 million) and the non-current portion, $905 million, in deferred credits and other liabilities - environmental remediation reserves ($740 million).reserves. 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)(NPL) sites and three3 categories of non-NPL sites — third-party sites, Occidental-operated sites and closed or non-operated Occidental sites. Occidental continues to evaluate environmental liabilities assumed through the Merger with an initial determination that it will participate in or monitor remedial activities or proceedings at 42 sites. The underlying reserve balance for the environmental sites assumed through the Merger will change as more site-specific information and clean-up measures becomes available.

As of September 30, 2018,2019, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million each at 1619 of the 146185 sites described above, and 90112 of the sites each had reserves offrom zero to $1 million or less.each. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately 5040 percent of the environmental reserves at the sites described above over the next three to four years and the remaining balance at these sites over the subsequent 10 or more


years. Occidental believes its estimable amountrange of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at these sites could rangebe up to $1.1$1.2 billion. TheOther than the sites assumed through the Merger, 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, 2017.2018.


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 September 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 nine9 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 SeptemberJune 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.


8. 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 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. Occidental intends to vigorously defend against this claim in arbitration.

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 7, 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 September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, were not material to Occidental’s consolidated balance sheets.

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. Although taxable years through 2012 for United States federal income tax purposes have been audited by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program, subsequent taxable years are currently under review.  Taxable years from 2002 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.

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 September 30, 2018, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to indemnity claims that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.

Purchase Obligations and Commitments

Occidental has entered into agreements providing for future payments to secure terminal and pipeline capacity, drilling rigs and services, electrical power, steam and certain chemical raw materials. Occidental has certain other commitments under contracts, guarantees and joint ventures, including purchase commitments for goods and services at market-related prices and certain other contingent liabilities. In the third quarter of 2018, Occidental secured approximately $2 billion of additional long-term commitments related to pipeline and terminal capacity that extend over the next ten years.



9.13 - Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans


Occidental has various defined benefit pension plans for certain domestic union, non-union hourly and foreign national employees. In addition, Occidental also provides medical and other benefits for certain active, retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents.

In conjunction with the Merger, Occidental acquired certain Anadarko contributory and non-contributory defined benefit pension plans, which include both qualified and supplemental plans, and plans that provide health care and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The following tables set forth the componentsAnadarko pension and postretirement obligations were remeasured as of the Merger date. The disclosures below exclude the Africa Assets classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2019.

The remeasurement resulted in an increase to the benefit obligation of $193 million. Accumulated other comprehensive income balances of $390 million were eliminated in purchase price accounting.

Net periodic benefit costs related to pension benefits included a curtailment gain of $34 million and a $10 million cost of special termination benefits for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The curtailment gain and cost of special termination benefits for 2019 relate to the separation program initiated in conjunction with the Merger. Excluding these items, net periodic benefit costs for Occidental’s defined benefit plansrelated to pension benefits were $15 million and $19 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively, compared to $2 million and 2017 (in millions):$4 million for the same periods in 2018.

Occidental contributed approximately $2$7 million and $1$2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, and 2017,respectively, and approximately $4$8 million and $3$4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018, and 2017,respectively, to its defined benefit plans.

During the third quarter of 2018, Occidental adopted a postretirement benefit plan design change, which replaced the previous self-insured benefit with a Medicare Advantage PPO plan for Medicare-eligible retirees. As a result of this change, the postretirement benefit obligation was remeasured as of August 31, 2018. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease to the benefit obligation of $178 million, with a corresponding offset to accumulated other comprehensive income.


10. Fair Value MeasurementsNote 14 - Stockholders' Equity

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 September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 (in millions):

Fair Values — Nonrecurring

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, Occidental recognized pre-tax impairment charges of $196 million on proved oil and gas properties and inventory as a result of Qatar Petroleum’s decision to take over operatorship and ownership of the Idd El-Shargi North Dome offshore field in Qatar following the contract expiration in October 2019. 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. These inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As the end of the contract period approaches, significant changes to estimated future cash flows could result in additional impairment charges. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Occidental recognized pre-tax impairment charges of $42 million related to non-core proved Permian acreage and an investment in gas processing facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2017, Occidental recognized pre-tax impairment charges of $397 million primarily related to held-for-sale, non-core, proved and unproved Permian acreage.

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 September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, was $10.4 billion. The remaining principal payments, less the discount on long-term debt, aggregated approximately $10.4 billion and $9.9 billion as of September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.

11. 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. Where Occidental buys product for its own consumption or sells its production to a defined customer, Occidental elects normal purchases and normal sales exclusions. Occidental usually applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecast 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. For GAAP purposes, any physical inventory is carried at lower of cost or market on the balance sheet. 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 any potential 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 September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017.

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 September 30, 2018, Occidental had approximately 6 billion cubic feet (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. As of December 31, 2017, Occidental had approximately 7 Bcf of natural gas held in storage, and had cash flow hedges for the forecast sales, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 7 Bcf of stored natural gas. The amount of cash flow hedges, including the ineffective portion, was immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and the year ended December 31, 2017.

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 statement and balance sheet 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 $69.98 and $2.67 for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, at September 30, 2018. The remaining fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges was immaterial. The weighted average contract price was $57.38 and $2.73 for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, at December 31, 2017.

Fair Value
Occidental has authorized 50 million shares of Derivativespreferred stock with a par value of $1.00 per share. On August 8, 2019, in connection with the Merger, Occidental issued 100,000 shares of a new series A preferred stock (the Preferred Stock), having a face value of $100,000 per share. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue on the face value at a rate per annum of 8 percent, but will be paid only when, as, and if declared by Occidental’s Board of Directors. At any time, when such dividends have not been paid in full, the unpaid amounts will accrue dividends, compounded quarterly, at a rate per annum of 9 percent. Following the payment in full of any accrued but unpaid dividends, the dividend rate will remain at 9 percent per annum. On October 15, 2019, Occidental paid approximately $149 million in Preferred Stock dividends. At September 30, 2019, Occidental had 100,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, and NaN were outstanding at December 31, 2018.

12.Note 15 - Industry Segments


Occidental conducts its operations through three4 segments: (1) oilOil and gas;Gas; (2) chemical;Chemical; (3) Marketing and (3) midstreamOther Midstream; and marketing. 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 gathers, processes, transports, stores, purchases and markets 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.(4) WES Midstream. 


Results of industry segments generally exclude incomeIncome taxes, interest income, interest expense, environmental remediation expenses, Anadarko merger-related costs and unallocated corporate expenses are included under Corporate and discontinued operations, but include gains and losses from dispositions of segment and geographic-area assets and income from the segments' equity investments.Eliminations. 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. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock, net of income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, net of treasury shares and including vested but unissued shares and share units. The computation of diluted EPS reflects the additional dilutive effect of stock options and unvested stock awards. Occidental’s instruments containing rights to nonforfeitable dividends granted in stock-based awards are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, net income allocated to these participating securities has been deducted from earnings in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019 includes merger-related costs of $974 million and 2017 (in millions, except per-share amounts):amortized debt financing fees of $122 million.

The Merger
On August 8, 2019, Occidental acquired all of the outstanding shares of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) through a transaction in which an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental merged with and into Anadarko (the Merger). Occidental believes that the Merger will enhance Occidental’s Permian Basin leadership position and bolster its portfolio with additional free cash flow-generating assets; generate significant cost and capital synergies as well as capital spending efficiency; enhance its dividend growth strategy while maintaining balance sheet strength; permit Occidental to apply its proven technology and operational excellence to Anadarko’s asset portfolio; and create a global energy leader with enhanced scale and expertise to lead energy into a lower-carbon future.
In connection with the Merger, Occidental agreed to sell to Total all of Anadarko's assets, liabilities, businesses, and operations for Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique, and South Africa (collectively, the Africa Assets) for $8.8 billion, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. In August 2019, a purchase and sale agreement was executed for these assets. On September 27, 2019, Occidental completed the sale of Anadarko’s Mozambique LNG assets to Total for $4.2 billion. The assets and liabilities for Algeria, Ghana and South Africa, are presented as held for sale at September 30, 2019. The results of operations of the Africa Assets are presented as discontinued operations.
See Note 3 - The Merger, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part 1 Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, and Risk Factors in Part II Item 1A of this Form 10-Q for more information. Occidental's results of operations include the results of Anadarko from August 8, 2019 to September 30, 2019.
Consolidated Results of Operations
Occidental reported a loss from continuing operations of $737 million for the third quarter of 2019 on net sales of $5.7 billion, compared to income from continuing operations of $1.9 billion on net sales of $5.2 billion for the third quarter of 2018 on net sales2018. Diluted earnings from continuing operations per share was a loss of $5.2 billion, compared to net income of $190 million on net sales of $3.0 billion$1.06 for the third quarter of 2017. Diluted2019 compared to earnings per share wasof $2.44 for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $0.25 for the third quarter of 2017.2018.


Occidental reported income from continuing operations of $529 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 on net sales of $14.1 billion, compared to income from continuing operations of $3.4 billion on net sales of $13.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, on net sales of $13.1 billion, compared to net income of $814 million on net sales of $9.0 billion for the same period of 2017.2018.

Excluding the same periodimpact of 2017.

NetAnadarko merger-related costs, asset impairments, asset and equity investment sales gains, the decrease in income increasedfrom continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, when compared to the same periods of 2017, across all segments. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $902 million pre-tax gain on the sale of non-core domestic midstream assets and a $196 million pre-tax impairment on proved oil and gas properties and inventory in Qatar. Gain on sale of assets, net, totaling $598 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily reflected gains on the sale of the South Texas operations and the sale of non-strategic acreage in the Midland Basin. Excluding gains on sale and impairment charges, the increase in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to the same periods in 2017, reflected higher2018, is primarily related to lower crude oil prices, higher domestic volumes and lower depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) rates in the oil and gas segment and higher marketing margins from improved crude oil spreads in the midstream and marketing segment. The remaining increase reflected higher realized caustic soda prices and lower energy costsmarketing margins, the effects of which were partially offset by higher crude oil production volumes acquired with the Merger and from legacy Occidental operations in the chemical segment, while lower ethylene costs also impacted the nine month net income.Permian Basin.


Selected Statements of Operations Items

Net sales increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to the same periodsperiod in 2017, as a result of higher crude oil prices and2018, primarily due to higher domestic crude oil volumes from the assets acquired through the Merger and from legacy Permian Resources operations. Increases in thenet sales were partially offset by lower crude oil prices and gas segment, higher marketing margins in the midstream and marketing segment, and higherlower realized caustic soda prices in the chemicalChemical segment. Gain on sale of assets, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018

Oil and 2017, primarily reflected a $902 million pre-tax gain on the sale of non-core domestic midstream assets in the third quarter of 2018gas operating expense and a $510 million pre-tax gain on the sale of South Texas and non-strategic acreage in the Midland Basin in the second and third quarter of 2017 respectively.



Cost of salestransportation expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared to the same periods in 2017, mainly2018, primarily due to higher third party crude purchases related to marketing and midstream activity and higher production costs for surface operations and maintenance due to increased activity inproduction as a result of the Permian Basin.

The increase in selling, general and administrative, and other operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017, reflected higher stock compensation costs due to Occidental's higher stock price and higher environmental remediation costs.

Selected Analysis of Financial Position
See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a discussion about the changes in cash and cash equivalents.
The increase in trade receivables, net, at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, was primarily due to higher crude oil pricesdepreciation associated with assets acquired through the Merger.

Interest and volumes. debt expense, net, increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the same periods in 2018, due to the increase in debt issued to partially fund the Merger, as well as the debt assumed through the Merger.

The decrease in inventories atthe provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019 compared to December 31, 2017, reflected a decreasethe same periods in domestic crude oil in transit from the Ingleside Crude Terminal. The2018 reflects lower pre-tax income, which is offset by an increase in other current assets at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, reflected mark-to-market increases on derivative financial instruments. The increase in investments in unconsolidated entities at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017 is primarily due to a $78 million capital contribution to the Cactus II Pipeline.

As of September 30, 2018, there were no assets held for sale. The decrease in property, plant and equipment, net at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, is the result of DD&A of $2.8 billion, the sale of non-core domestic midstream assets with a net book value of approximately $1.5 billion, and the impairment of assets in Qatar of $0.1 billion. These decreases were partially offset by capital expenditures of $3.6 billion, oil and gas property acquisitions of $0.3 billion, and the acquisition of the Taft co-generation facility for $0.4 billion.

The current portion of long-term debt at September 30, 2018 reflected $116 million in 9.25-percent senior debentures due 2019. The increase in long-term debt at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, reflected the issuance of $1.0 billion of 4.2-percent senior notes due 2048. The increase in accounts payable at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, mainly reflected higher crude oil prices and third-party purchases. The increase in accrued liabilities at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, mainly reflected mark-to-market increases on derivative financial instruments, partially offset by payments related to incentive compensation that were paid in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in deferred domestic and foreign income taxes at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, was primarily due to accelerated depreciation for tax purposes and tax effects of the gain on sale of non-core domestic midstream assets. The decrease in pension and postretirement obligations at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, was primarily due to a postretirement benefit plan design change. Asas a result of this change, the postretirement benefit obligation was remeasured as of August 31, 2018. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease to the benefit obligation of $178 million, with a corresponding offset to accumulated other comprehensive income. Deferred credits and other liabilities - other at September 30, 2018, compared to December 31, 2017, decreased primarily due to the reversal of accrued lease payments related to the acquisition of a previously leased power and steam cogeneration facility and changes in the fair value of a long-term contract to purchase CO2.transaction-related costs for which Occidental received no tax benefit.

Chemical Segment

Chemical segment earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018 were $207 million and 2017 were $321 million, and $200 million, respectively. Compared to the third quarter of 2018, the third quarter of 2019 reflected a decline in realized caustic soda prices along with weaker vinyl margins, slightly offset by stronger export caustic soda demand.

These assets include the Centurion common carrier oil pipeline and storage system, Southeast New Mexico oil gathering system, and Ingleside Crude Terminal. Following the transaction, Occidental retained its long-term flow assurance, pipeline takeaway and export capacity through its retained marketing business. Excluding thethis gain on sale, the increasedecrease in earnings was attributable to higherlower marketing margins due to improveddecreased crude oil price spreads.

Restricted cash within the benefits trust will be made available to Occidental as payments are largely dependent onmade to former Anadarko employees. In the oilthird quarter of 2019, Occidental initiated a voluntary severance program to align the size and gas segment's realized prices, sales volumescomposition of its workforce with its expected future operating and operating costs.capital plans. Additional expenses associated with the program are expected to be incurred throughout the remainder of 2019 and through most of 2020. 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.


NetOperating cash provided by operating activitiesflow from continuing operations was $5.2$5.4 billion for the first nine months ended September 30, 2018,of 2019, compared to $3.4$5.2 billion for the same period of 2017. Cash flows were positively impacted2018. The increase in operating cash flow from continuing operations mainly reflected higher production, which was partially offset by higherlower oil prices and domestic volumes along with higher marketing margins due to improved crude oil spreads in the first nine months of 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.Merger-related costs.

Occidental’s net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $27.6 billion for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $1.7 billion for the same period of 2018. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2019 were $4.2 billion, of which $3.8 billion was for the Oil and Gas segment, compared to $3.6 billion for the first nine months of 2018, compared to $2.1 billion for the same period of 2017. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2018 were $3.6 billion, of which $3.2 billion was for the oilOil and gas segment, compared to $2.4Gas segment.

Proceeds from the sale of assets and equity investments, net included the sale of Anadarko's Mozambique LNG assets, as well as proceeds from the sale of Occidental's Plains All American Pipeline equity investment.

Occidental’s net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $24.7 billion for the first nine months of 2017, of which $2.0 billion was for the oil and gas segment. The first nine months of 2018 also reflected $2.7 billion of cash received primarily from the sale of non-core domestic midstream assets for proceeds of $2.4 billion and other non-core asset sales.

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 foreigninternational laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. OPCOccidental 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 7,12 - 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 20172018 Form 10-K for additional information regarding Occidental’s environmental expenditures.




Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies

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. Occidental has disclosed its reserve balances for environmental remediation matters and its estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses for such matters. Reserve balances for other matters as of September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 2017,2018, were not material to Occidental's consolidated balance sheets. For further information, see Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Occidental's primary market risks are attributable to fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. These risks can affect revenues and cash flows, and Occidental's risk-management policies provide for the use of derivative instruments to manage these risks. The types of commodity derivative instruments used by Occidental include futures, swaps, options and fixed-price physical-delivery contracts. The volume of commodity derivatives entered into by Occidental is governed by risk-management policies and may vary from year to year. Both exchange and over-the-counter traded derivative instruments may be subject to margin-deposit requirements, and Occidental may be required from time to time to deposit cash or provide letters of credit with exchange brokers or counterparties to satisfy these margin requirements. For additional information relating to Occidental's derivative and financial instruments, see Note 7—Derivative Instruments in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Commodity Price Risk
Occidental's most significant market risk relates to prices for oil, natural gas, and NGL. Management expects energy prices to remain unpredictable and potentially volatile. As energy prices decline or rise significantly, revenues and cash flows are likewise affected. In addition, a non-cash write-down of Occidental's oil and gas properties or goodwill may be required if commodity prices experience a significant decline.

Derivative Instruments Held for Non-Trading Purposes
As of September 30, 2019, Occidental had derivative instruments in place to reduce the price risk associated with future crude oil production of 300 thousand barrels per day. As of September 30, 2019, these derivative instruments were at a $95 million net derivative asset position.

The following table shows a sensitivity analysis based on both a five-percent and ten-percent change in commodity prices and their effect on the net derivative asset position of $95 million at September 30, 2019:

For
Interest Rate Risk
Occidental acquired interest rate swap contracts in the threeMerger. Occidental pays a fixed interest rate and nine months ended receives a floating interest rate indexed to three-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The swaps have an initial term of 30 years with mandatory termination dates in September 2020 through 2023 and a total notional amount of $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2018, there2019. In October 2019, $125 million of notional interest rate swaps were no material changesterminated. As of September 30, 2019, Occidental had a net liability of $1.4 billion based on the fair value of the swaps of negative $1.7 billion netted against $359 million in posted cash collateral. A 25-basis point decrease in implied LIBOR rates over the information required to be provided under Item 305term of Regulation S-K included under Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk"the swaps would result in an additional liability of approximately $130 million on these swaps.

As of September 30, 2019, Occidental had $6.5 billion of variable-rate debt outstanding, excluding WES. A 25-basis point increase in LIBOR interest rates would increase gross interest expense approximately $16 million per year.

As of September 30, 2019, Occidental had $32.6 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding, excluding WES. A 25-basis point change in Treasury rates would change the 2017 Form 10-K.

fair value of the fixed-rate debt approximately $680 million.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures


Occidental's President and Chief Executive Officer and its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer supervised and participated in Occidental's evaluation of the effectiveness 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 Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Occidental's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2018.2019.

ThereExcept as described below, there has been no change in Occidental's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the first ninethree months of 2018ended September 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Occidental's internal control over financial reporting.


In the third quarter of 2019, Occidental started the process of integrating Anadarko into its operations and internal control processes, resulting in some of Anadarko’s historical internal controls being superseded by Occidental’s internal controls. Management will continue to integrate Anadarko's historical internal controls over financial reporting with Occidental's internal controls over financial reporting. This integration may lead to changes in Occidental's or Anadarko’s historical internal controls over financial reporting in future fiscal periods. Occidental is also in the process of implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Occidental intends to integrate Anadarko’s internal control processes into Occidental’s internal control processes in conjunction with implementation of the ERP system. Management expects the integration process to be completed during 2021.






PART II    OTHER INFORMATION

On September 13, 2019, an Occidental subsidiary received a draft consent agreement and final order from EPA regarding alleged violations under the CAA and various sections of the EPA’s Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions at the Geismar, Louisiana facility. EPA’s order includes allegations associated with operating procedures, inspections, contractor reviews, medical protocols in the emergency response plan, administrative updates and four historical on-site incidents. EPA’s draft settlement proposal includes a civil penalty of $931,990. Occidental is currently negotiating a resolution of this matter with EPA.

For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 8, - 11, 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

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the disclosure presented in the 2018 Form 10-K under Part I Item 1A.

The diversion of resources and management’s attention to the integration of Anadarko could adversely affect day-to-day business.

The integration of Anadarko places a significant burden on Occidental’s management and internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention away from day-to-day business concerns and any difficulties encountered in the transition and integration process could adversely affect financial results.

Occidental may not be able to integrate Anadarko successfully, and many of the anticipated benefits of combining Anadarko and Occidental may not be realized.

Occidental acquired Anadarko with the expectation that the Merger will result in various benefits, including, among other things, operating efficiencies. Achieving those anticipated benefits is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether Occidental can integrate the business of Anadarko in an efficient and effective manner, and Occidental cannot assure you that those benefits will be realized as quickly as expected or at all. If Occidental does not achieve those benefits, costs could increase, expected net income could decrease, and future business, financial condition, operating results, and prospects could suffer.

The integration process could take longer than anticipated and involve unanticipated costs. Disruptions of each company’s ongoing businesses, processes, and systems or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, practices, policies, and compensation arrangements could adversely affect the combined company. Occidental may also have difficulty addressing differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies, and in harmonizing other systems and business practices. Although Occidental expects that the elimination of certain duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the two businesses, will over time offset the substantial incremental transaction and Merger-related costs, Occidental may not achieve this net benefit in the near term, or at all.



Future results will be negatively impacted if Occidental does not effectively manage its expanded operations.

With completion of the Merger, the size of Occidental’s business has increased significantly. Occidental’s continued success depends, in part, upon its ability to manage this expanded business, which poses substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity. Occidental cannot assure you that it will be successful or that it will realize the expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, and other benefits from the combination currently anticipated.

Occidental has incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness and other payment obligations in connection with the financing of the Merger and may be unable to service and repay such indebtedness.

Occidental funded the cash portion of the Merger consideration by incurring $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 Inc. investment. In addition, Occidental assumed 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 WES Midstream’s outstanding short- and long-term debt in the Merger. Occidental cannot guarantee that it will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to service and repay this indebtedness or to pay the dividends 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 dividends on such series A preferred stock, could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’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 and/or share price.

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

The Total transaction is conditioned on the receipt of required regulatory approvals as well as other customary closing conditions. Occidental may not be able to complete 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 4 - Acquisitions, Dispositions, 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.



Occidental’s operations and Part I Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”financial results could be significantly negatively impacted by its offshore operations.

Occidental is vulnerable to risks associated with our offshore operations that could negatively impact our operations and financial results. Occidental conducts offshore operations in the 2017 Form 10-K.Gulf of Mexico, Ghana and other countries. Occidental's operations and financial results could be significantly impacted by conditions in some of these areas and are also vulnerable to certain unique risks associated with operating offshore, including those relating to the following:


• hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions
• geological complexities and water depths associated with such operations
• limited number of partners available to participate in projects
• oilfield service costs and availability
• compliance with environmental, safety, and other laws and regulations
• terrorist attacks or piracy
• remediation and other costs and regulatory changes resulting from oil spills or releases of hazardous materials
• failure of equipment or facilities
• response capabilities for personnel, equipment, or environmental incidents

In addition, Occidental conducts some of its exploration in deep waters (greater than 1,000 feet) where operations, support services, and decommissioning activities are more difficult and costly than in shallower waters. The deep waters in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as international deepwater locations, lack the physical and oilfield service infrastructure present in shallower waters. As a result, deepwater operations may require significant time between a discovery and the time that Occidental can market its production, thereby increasing the risk involved with these operations.


Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


On August 8, 2019, in connection with the Merger, Occidental issued to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries 100,000 shares of series A preferred stock (the Preferred Stock) with a warrant to purchase 80 million shares of Occidental common stock at an exercise price of $62.50 (the Warrant) for $10 billion. The Preferred Stock and the Warrant have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and were issued and sold in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. See Note 3 - The MergerNote 7 - Derivative Instruments, and Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information.
