OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNESEPTEMBER 30, 2019

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’s (SEC)Commission'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, 2018.

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 June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 (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 consolidated statementsstructure of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, as applicable. Certain data in thecertain financial statements, notes and notes for prior periods have been reclassifiedsupplementary 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 incomeassets 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.



All outstanding debt for WES at September 30, 2019, 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 individual 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 the 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 taxes of $751 million and $838 million during the 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 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 equivalents 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 periodsnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 to the line items within the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2019. There was no restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2018.

2.Note 2 - Accounting and Disclosure Changes

In January 2019, Occidental adopted the new lease standard Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 - Leases (ASC 842). The new standard requires Occidental to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. The new rules require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset (ROU) and lease liability for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Occidental adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach, including adopting several optional practical expedients. Occidental has developed and implemented an internal software solution to support the identification, documentation, tracking, accounting and supplemental reporting of leases under ASC 842. Continued enhancements to the software solution through 2019 are expected to ensure manual processes are streamlined while maintaining control functionality surrounding completeness in population and reporting. See Note 13,10 - Lease Commitments Leases.

Note 3 - The Merger

On May 9, 2019, Occidental entered 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 acquisition method of accounting. The following table presents the Merger consideration paid to Anadarko stockholders as a result of the Merger:

The following table sets forth the preliminary allocation of the Merger consideration. Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, and includes, but is not limited to, final appraisals of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, valuation of pre-merger contingencies and final tax returns that provide underlying tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Occidental will finalize the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the Merger date, during which time the value of the assets and liabilities may be revised as appropriate.

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 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 customers are satisfied; this generally occurs with the delivery of oil, gas, natural gas liquids (NGL),NGL, chemicals or services, such as transportation. Occidental does not typically receive payment in advance of satisfying its obligations under the terms of its sales contracts with customers; therefore, liabilities related to such payment are immaterial to Occidental. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, trade receivables, net, of $5.3$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.

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:

Balance at December 31, 2018 $

Increase due to cash received, excluding revenues recognized in the period 9
Decrease due to revenue recognized (13)
Balance at September 30, 2019 $150




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:

6. Environmental Liabilities and ExpendituresNote 7 - Derivative Instruments

Occidental’s operationsOccidental 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 subjectpurchased or sold to stringent federal, state, local and international laws and regulations relateda customer. Occidental occasionally applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to improving or maintaining environmental quality. The laws that require or address environmental remediation, includingderivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and international laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. OPC or certainforecasted sales of its subsidiaries participate in or actively monitornatural 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 rangenet basis when a legal right of remedial activities and government or private proceedings under these lawsoffset exists with respect to alleged past practices at operating, closed and third-party sites. Remedial activities may include one or more of the following: investigation involving sampling, modeling, risk assessment or monitoring; cleanup measures including removal, treatment or disposal; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. The environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs.same counterparty.


Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2019, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 146 sites. The following table presents Occidental’s currentOccidental's derivatives not designated as hedges consist of three-way oil collars and non-current environmental remediation reserves as of June 30, 2019, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($120 million)call options, interest rate swaps, marketing derivatives and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities - environmental remediation reserves ($764 million).

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 categoriesoptions: 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 non-NPL sites — third-party sites, Occidental-operated sitestime. 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 closed or non-operatedthe sold put strike price for a defined period of time. Occidental sites.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.

As of June 30, 2019, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million each at 16 ofOccidental Interest Rate Swaps (Excluding WES Midstream)
Occidental acquired interest rate swap contracts in the 146 sites described above,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 91 of the sites had reserves from $0 to $1 million each. Basedlosses associated with interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in losses on current estimates, Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately 46 percent of the environmental reserves at the sites described above over the next three to four yearsinterest rate swaps and the balance at these sites over the subsequent 10 or more years. Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at these sites could be up to $1.1 billion. The status of Occidental's involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions, including those sites indemnified by Maxus Energy Corporation (Maxus), has not changed materially since December 31, 2018.warrants, net.

WhenDerivative settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from operating activities unless the derivatives contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case the settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from financing activities. As a result of prior 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 therefore, 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.

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 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 Passaic River. On June 17, 2016, MaxusMerger 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 several affiliated companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Federal District Courtthe 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 clean-upcounterparties and by requiring collateral or other costs associatedcredit 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 the sitesselect clearinghouses and brokers, which are subject to the indemnity, including the Site.minimal credit risk as a significant portion of these transactions settle on a daily margin basis.

In March 2016,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 EPA issuedamount 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 Recordnet liability position existed at September 30, 2019 was $1.6 billion (net of Decision (ROD) specifying remedial actions required for the lower 8.3 miles$0.3 billion collateral), primarily related to acquired interest-rate swaps, and $68 million (net of the Lower Passaic River.

Note 8 - Fair-Value Measurements

Occidental has accruedcategorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a reserve relatingthree-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.

Fair-Values — Nonrecurring
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Occidental measured assets and liabilities 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 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 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
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, 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 estimated allocable shareexisting $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 costsMerger. 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 performother 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 designtermination 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 remediation calledservices 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 AOClease 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 ROD,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.

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 for certain other Maxus-indemnified sites.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 CERCLAComprehensive 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 6, 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, were not material to Occidental’s consolidated balance sheets.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 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)“Icahn Complainants”), captioned High River Ltd. P’ship v. Occidental Petroleum Corp., C.A. No. 2019-0403-JRS, seeking inspection of Occidental’s books and records pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL).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 balance sheet.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. TaxableWith 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 JuneSeptember 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.

Note 12 - Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures

Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations related to improving or maintaining environmental quality. The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including the CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and international laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries participate in or actively monitor a range of remedial activities and government or private proceedings under these laws with respect to alleged past practices at operating, closed and third-party sites. Remedial activities may include one or more of the following: investigation involving sampling, modeling, risk assessment or monitoring; cleanup measures including removal, treatment or disposal; or operation and maintenance of remedial systems. The environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs.



8.As of September 30, 2019, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 185 sites. The following table presents Occidental’s current and non-current environmental remediation reserves as of September 30, 2019. The current portion, $149 million, is included in accrued liabilities and the non-current portion, $905 million, in deferred credits and other liabilities - environmental remediation 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 and 3 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, 2019, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million each at 19 of the 185 sites described above, and 112 of the sites had reserves from zero to $1 million each. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately 40 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 range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at these sites could be up to $1.2 billion. Other 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, 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 9 miles of the Lower Passaic River or Newark Bay. During the third quarter of 2016, and following Maxus’s bankruptcy filing, Occidental and the EPA entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to complete the design of the proposed clean-up plan outlined in the ROD at an estimated cost of $165 million. The EPA announced that it will pursue similar agreements with other potentially responsible parties.

Occidental has accrued a reserve relating to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the design and remediation called for in the AOC and the ROD, as well as for certain other Maxus-indemnified sites. Occidental's accrued estimated environmental reserve does not consider any recoveries for indemnified costs. Occidental’s ultimate share of this liability may be higher or lower than the reserved amount, and is subject to final design plans and the resolution of Occidental's allocable share with other potentially responsible parties. Occidental continues to evaluate the costs to be incurred to comply with the AOC, the ROD, and to perform remediation at other Maxus-indemnified sites in light of the Maxus bankruptcy and the share of ultimate liability of other potentially responsible parties. In June 2018, Occidental filed a complaint under CERCLA in Federal District Court in the State of New Jersey against numerous potentially responsible parties for reimbursement of amounts incurred or to be incurred to comply with the AOC, the ROD, or to perform other remediation activities at the Site.



In June 2017, the court overseeing the Maxus bankruptcy approved a Plan of Liquidation (Plan) to liquidate Maxus and create a trust to pursue claims against YPF, Repsol, and others to satisfy claims by Occidental and other creditors for past and future cleanup and other costs. In July 2017, the court-approved Plan became final and the trust became effective. Among other responsibilities, the trust will pursue claims against YPF, Repsol and others and distribute assets to Maxus' creditors in accordance with the trust agreement and Plan. In June 2018, the trust filed its complaint against YPF and Repsol in Delaware bankruptcy court asserting claims based upon, among other things, fraudulent transfer and alter ego. On February 15, 2019, the bankruptcy court denied Repsol's and YPF's motions to dismiss the complaint.

Note 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 table sets 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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019,, respectively, compared to $2 million and 2018 (in millions):$4 million for the same periods in 2018.

Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fairauthorized 50 million shares of preferred 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 three-level fairnew series A preferred stock (the Preferred Stock), having a face value hierarchy, basedof $100,000 per share. Dividends on the inputs toPreferred Stock will accrue on the valuation techniques: Level 1 — using quoted pricesface 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.

Fair Values — Nonrecurring

During the six months ended June 30,9 percent per annum. On October 15, 2019, Occidental did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During 2018, Occidental recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $416paid approximately $149 million primarily related to Qatar Idd El Shargi North Dome (ISND) and Idd El Shargi South Dome proved properties and inventory. The fair value of the proved properties was measured based on the income approach, which incorporated a number of assumptions involving expectations of future cash flows. These assumptions included estimates of future product prices, which Occidental based on forward price curves, estimates of oil and gas reserves, estimates of future expected operating and capital costs and a risk-adjusted discount rate of 10 percent. These inputs are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. As the end of the contract period for ISND approaches, significant changes to estimated future cash flows could result in additional impairment charges.
Other Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other on-balance-sheet financial instruments, other than long-term, fixed-rate debt, approximate fair value. The cost, if any, to terminate Occidental's off-balance-sheet financial instruments is not significant. Occidental estimates the fair value of fixed-rate debt based on the quoted market prices for those instruments or on quoted market yields for similarly rated debt instruments, taking into account such instruments’ maturities. The estimated fair value of Occidental’s debt as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, was $10.7 billion and $10.3 billion, respectively. The remaining principal payments, less the discount on long-term debt, aggregated approximately $10.4 billion as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.



10. Derivatives

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

Where Occidental buys product for its own consumption or sells its production to a defined customer, Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions. Occidental usually applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecasted sales of its natural gas storage volumes, and at times for other strategies to lock in margins. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes; however, the results of any transactions are immaterial to the marketing portfolio.

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

Credit Risk

The majority of Occidental's counterparty credit risk is related to the physical delivery of energy commodities to its customers and their inability to meet their settlement commitments. Occidental manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with counterparties and by requiring collateral or other credit risk mitigants, as appropriate. Occidental actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. Occidental also enters into future contracts through regulated exchanges with select clearinghouses and brokers, which are subject to minimal credit risk as a significant portion of these transactions settle on a daily margin basis.

Certain of Occidental's over-the-counter derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each would need to post. Occidental believes that if it had received a one-notch reduction in its credit ratings, it would not have resulted in a material change in its collateral-posting requirements as of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018.

Cash Flow Hedges

Occidental’s marketing operations store natural gas purchased from third parties at Occidental’s leased storage facilities. Derivative instruments are used to fix margins on the future sales of the stored volumes. As of JunePreferred Stock dividends. At September 30, 2019, Occidental had approximately 4 billion cubic feet (Bcf)100,000 shares of natural gas held in storage with no cash flow hedges currently associated with the stored volumes. As of December 31, 2018, Occidental had approximately 5 Bcf of natural gas held in storage,preferred stock issued and had cash flow hedges for the forecast sales, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 4 Bcf of stored natural gas. The amount of cash flow hedges associated with stored natural gas, including the ineffective portion, was immaterial for the six months ended June 30, 2019outstanding, and the year ended December 31, 2018.

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

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Forward unrealized instruments that are derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the consolidated condensed statements of operations and balance sheets 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 $61.46 per barrel and $2.11 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, at June 30, 2019. The remaining fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges was immaterial. The weighted average contract price was $58.81 per barrel and $3.18 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, at December 31, 2018.

In July 2019, Occidental entered into three-way costless collar derivative instruments for 2020 and additional call options in 2021 to manage its near-term exposure to cash-flow variability from commodity-price risks. A three-way collar is a combination of three options: a sold call, a purchased put, and a sold put. The sold call establishes the maximum price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volume for a defined period of time. The purchased put establishes the minimum price that the Company will receive for the contracted volumes unless the market price for the commodity falls below the sold put strike price, at which point the minimum price equals the reference price plus the difference between the purchased put strike price and the sold put strike price for a defined period of time. Occidental entered into the 2021 call options to substantially improve the ceiling price that the Company will receive for the contracted commodity volumes in 2020.

11.Note 15 - Industry Segments

Occidental conducts its operations through various subsidiaries4 segments: (1) Oil and affiliates. Occidental's principal businesses consist of three segments. The oilGas; (2) Chemical; (3) Marketing and gas segment explores for, developsOther Midstream; and produces oil and condensate, NGL and natural gas. The chemical segment mainly manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The midstream and marketing segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil, condensate, NGL, natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and power. It also trades around its assets, including transportation and storage capacity. Additionally, the midstream and marketing segment invests in entities that conduct similar activities.(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 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. Leases

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

Leases that commenced before the effective date carried forward their historical lease classification.
Existing or expired land easements as of December 31, 2018 were not reassessed to determine whether or not they contained a lease.
Leases with a lease term of 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 drilling rigs considered long-term in nature, Occidental bifurcated the lease and non-lease components using relative fair value as a stand-alone selling price between the asset rental and the services obtained.

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



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

Nature of Leases

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

14. Anadarko Acquisition and Other

On May 9, 2019, Occidental and Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), which provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Baseball Merger Sub 1, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental (Merger Subsidiary), will merge with and into Anadarko (the merger), with Anadarko continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental. If the merger is completed, Anadarko stockholders will receive, in exchange for each share of Anadarko common stock, (1) $59.00 in cash and (2) 0.2934 of a share of Occidental common stock. The Anadarko Special Meeting of Stockholders is scheduled forperiod from August 8, and we expect to close2019, the acquisition promptly thereafter.Merger date, through September 30, 2019.

On April 30, 2019, Occidental entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Berkshire Hathaway (the Berkshire Hathaway investment), pursuant to which Occidental agreed that in the event Occidental enters into and consummates the proposed acquisition of Anadarko, Occidental will issue and sell to Berkshire Hathaway, and Berkshire Hathaway agreed to purchase from Occidental for an aggregate purchase price of $10 billion in cash: (1) 100,000 shares of a new series of cumulative perpetual preferred stock of Occidental, having a face value of $100,000 per share (the Preferred Stock), and (2) a warrant (the Warrant) to purchase 80.0 million shares of Occidental’s common stock at an exercise price of $62.50 per share. Dividends on the Preferred Stock will accrue on the face value at a rate per annum of 8% but will be paid only when, as and if declared by Occidental’s Board of Directors out of legally available funds. At any time when such dividends have not been paid in full, the unpaid amounts will accrue dividends, compounded quarterly, at a rate per annum of 9%. Following the payment in full of any accrued but unpaid dividends, the dividend rate will remain at 9% per annum.(b) The Warrant will be exercisable in whole or in part, until the first anniversary of the date on which no shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding; however, if any stockholder

The Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to certain closing conditions in addition to the requirement that Occidental has consummated the proposed acquisition of Anadarko. See Occidental’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 3, 2019, for more information about the Securities Purchase Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 Occidental expensed $107includes merger-related costs of $924 million in fees in connection with merger-related transaction costs and amortized debt financing fees.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, and they include, but are not limited to;to: any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items or future financial position or sources of financing; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations or business strategy; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect,” “aim,” “goal,” “target,” “objective,” “likely” or similar expressions that convey the prospective nature of events or outcomes are generally indicative of forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Unless legally required, Occidental does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Although Occidental believes that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ from anticipated results, sometimes materially. Factors that could cause results to differ from those projected or assumed in any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to: the extent to which Occidental is able to successfully integrate Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko), manage expanded operations, including Western Midstream Partners, LP (WES), and realize the anticipated benefits of combining Occidental and Anadarko; Occidental's ability to successfully complete the sale of the remaining assets, liabilities, businesses and operations of the Africa assets to Total S.A. (Total); global commodity pricing fluctuations; supply and demand considerations for Occidental’s products; higher-than-expected costs; the regulatory approval environment; not successfully completing, or any material delay of, field developments, expansion projects, capital expenditures, efficiency projects, acquisitions or dispositions; uncertainties about the estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves; lower-than-expected production from development projects or acquisitions; exploration risks; disruptions to, capacity constraints in, or other limitations on the pipeline systems that deliver our oil and natural gas and other processing and transportation considerations; general economic slowdowns domestically or internationally; difficult and adverse conditions in the domestic and global capital and credit markets; the impact of potential changes in ourOccidental's credit ratings; less thanuncertainty from the expected benefitsdiscontinuance of derivative positions;LIBOR and transition to any other interest rate benchmark; political conditions and events; liability under environmental regulations, including remedial actions; litigation; disruption or interruption of production or manufacturing or facility damage due to accidents, chemical releases, labor unrest, weather, natural disasters, cyber attacks or insurgent activity; failure of risk management; changes in law or regulations; reorganization or restructuring of Occidental’s operations; changes in tax rates; actions by third parties that are beyond Occidental's control; and the ability to generate cash to fund operations and repay indebtedness.

Such factors also include the ultimate outcome of the merger; Occidental’s ability to consummate the merger or the Total transaction; the conditions to the completion of the merger, including the receipt of Anadarko stockholder approval for the merger; that the regulatory approvals required for the Total transaction may not be obtained on the terms expected or on the anticipated schedule or at all; Occidental’s ability to finance the merger, including completion of any contemplated equity investments or debt issuances; Occidental’s indebtedness, including the substantial indebtedness Occidental expects to incur in connection with the merger and the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt; Occidental’s ability to meet expectations regarding the timing, completion and accounting and tax treatments of the merger or the Total transaction; the possibility that Occidental may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected time-frames or at all and to successfully integrate Anadarko’s operations with those of Occidental; that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; that operating costs, customer loss and business disruption (including, without limitation, difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees, customers or suppliers) may be greater than expected following the merger or the public announcement of the merger; the retention of certain key employees of Anadarko may be difficult; that Anadarko and Occidental are subject to intense competition and increased competition is expected in the future; that the expenses associated with the merger are greater than expected; and general economic conditions that are less favorable than expected.

Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in Occidental’s filings with the SEC,U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including Occidental’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the 2018 Form 10-K), Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and in our registration statement on Form S-4, as amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 11, 2019.

See Liquidity and Capital Resources for a discussion aboutdue to the changes in cash and cash equivalents.
The increase in trade receivables, net, at June 30, 2019, compareddebt issued to December 31, 2018, was primarily due to an increase in crude oil prices and volumes as of period end. The increase in inventories at June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, was due to crude oil price increases and higher volume in transit. The increase in investments in unconsolidated entities at June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, is primarily due to capital contributions to equity investments and equity income, which was partially offset by dividends.

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

The increase in accounts payable at June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, is primarilyfund the result of higher crude oil prices and higher marketing volume. The decrease in accrued liabilities at June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, mainly reflected payments related to incentive compensationMerger, as well as ad valorem and foreign income taxes in the first half of 2019,debt assumed through the settlement of treasury share repurchases and mark-to-market decreases on derivative financial instruments. The increase in the deferred domestic and foreign income tax liability at June 30, 2019, compared to December 31, 2018, was due to the utilization of federal tax credit carryforwards, partially offset by the deferred tax asset established for foreign net operating loss carryforwards.

Total averageAverage daily productionsales volumes from continuing operations were 741,000 BOE1,116 MBOE for the secondthird quarter of 2019, compared to 639,000 BOE696 MBOE for the secondthird quarter of 2018. The increase in average daily productionsales volumes from continuing operations of 420 MBOE is primarily due to 377 MBOE in acquired production from the Merger including 163 MBOE in DJ Basin, 90 MBOE in the Gulf of Mexico, and 90 MBOE in the Delaware Basin as well as an increase of 75 MBOE, or 33 percent, in the legacy Occidental Permian Resources whichbusiness unit as a result of increased by 88,000 BOE,drilling and well productivity.

Average daily sales volumes from continuing operations for the first nine months of 2019 were 859 MBOE compared to 643 MBOE for the same period in 2018. The increase in average daily sales volumes from continuing operations of 216 MBOE is primarily due to 127 MBOE in acquired production from the Merger including 55 MBOE in DJ Basin, 30 MBOE in the Gulf of Mexico and 30 MBOE in the Delaware Basin as well as an increase of 83 MBOE, or 4441 percent, due toin the legacy Occidental Permian Resources business unit from increased drilling and well productivity, and Al Hosn, which increased by 14,000 BOE,11 MBOE, or 2116 percent, fromdue to the successful debottlenecking and expansion of capacity and improved plant performance.

Total average daily production volumes for the first six months of 2019 and 2018 were 730,000 BOE and 624,000 BOE, respectively. The increase in average daily production volumes is primarily due to Permian Resources, which increased by 86,000 BOE, or 46 percent, due to increased drilling and well productivity, and Al Hosn, which increased by 18,000 BOE, or 28 percent, from the successful debottlenecking and expansion of capacity and improved plant performance. International production is expected to decline in the third quarter of 2019, compared to the second quarter due to unplanned maintenance in Qatar.

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


cash at closing and $750 million of carried capital in exchange for a 49-percent interest in the new venture.  Occidental will own a 51-percent interest and operate the joint venture. During the carry period, Ecopetrol will pay 75-percent of Occidental’s share of capital expenditures. The joint venture allows Occidental to accelerate its development plans in the Midland Basin, where it currently has minimal activity. Occidental will retain production and cash flow from its existing operations in the Midland Basin. This transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Chemical Segment

Chemical segment earnings for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and 2018 were $208$207 million and $317$321 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. Chemical segment earnings for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and 2018, were $473$680 million and $615$936 million, respectively. Compared to the same periodsperiod in 2018, the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, reflected lower realized caustic soda prices partially offset by favorable feedstock costs. The sixnine months earnings includedalso reflected fees received under a pipeline easement agreement that was executed during the first quarter of 2019.

MidstreamMarketing and MarketingOther Midstream Segment

Marketing and Other Midstream and marketingsegment earnings were $331$266 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, compared with earnings of $250 million$1.7 billion for the same period of 2018. MidstreamMarketing and marketingOther Midstream earnings were $610$876 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019, compared with earnings of $429 million$2.1 billion for the same period of 2018. The improvementEarnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a $902 million gain from the sale of non-core domestic midstream assets. Excluding this gain on sale, the decrease in earnings was attributable to higherlower marketing margins due to improveddecreased crude oil price spreads, partially offset by lower NGL prices impacting gas processing and lower pipeline income due to the sale of non-core domestic midstream assets in the third quarter of 2018.



WES Midstream Segment
WES Midstream segment earnings from the Merger date to September 30, 2019 was $134 million and income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $42 million.

Restricted cash within the benefits trust will be made available to $2.8 billion for the same period of 2018. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities mainly reflected lower working capital use of cash primarily dueOccidental as payments are made to a decrease in receivables due to lower commodity prices.
Occidental’s net cash used by investing activities was $2.7 billion for the first six months of 2019, compared to $2.3 billion for the same period of 2018. Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2019 were $2.5 billion, of which $2.3 billion was for the oil and gas segment, compared to $2.3 billion for the first six months of 2018, of which $2.1 billion was for the oil and gas segment.

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

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

Occidental anticipates issuing long-term debt informer Anadarko employees. In the third quarter of 2019, Occidental initiated a voluntary severance program to partially financealign the cash portionsize and composition of its workforce with its expected future operating and capital plans. Additional expenses associated with the merger consideration with Anadarko, together with proceeds fromprogram are expected to be incurred throughout the Berkshire Hathaway investmentremainder of 2019 and the term loan financing described in Note 14, Anadarko Acquisition and Other, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1through most of this Form 10-Q.2020. With a continued focus on capital and operational efficiencies, following the closing of the merger, 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.

See Management’s DiscussionOperating cash flow from continuing operations was $5.4 billion for the first nine months of 2019, compared to $5.2 billion for the same period of 2018. The increase in operating cash flow from continuing operations mainly reflected higher production, which was partially offset by lower oil prices and AnalysisMerger-related costs.

Occidental’s net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations was $27.6 billion for the first nine months of Financial Condition2019, 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 ResultsGas segment, compared to $3.6 billion for the first nine months of Operations - Recent Events2018, of which $3.2 billion was for the Oil and Risk FactorsGas segment. The primary use of cash for investing activities was the cash portion of the Merger consideration, net of the cash acquired in Part II Item 1Athe Merger. Proceeds from the sale of this Form 10-Qassets 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 more information about Occidental’s proposalthe first nine months of 2019, compared to acquire Anadarko$2.2 billion cash used for the same period of 2018. Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2019 mainly reflected the issuance of long-term debt and preferred shares to consummate the Merger.

Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures

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

The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and international laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites. 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 6,12 - 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 2018 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2019,, and December 31, 2018,, were not material to Occidental's consolidated condensed balance sheets. For further information, see Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. See Note 7,11 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further information.

See Note 2, Accounting and Disclosure Changes, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

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 theadditional information relating to Occidental's derivative and financial instruments, see three and sixNote 7—Derivative Instruments months ended June 30, 2019, there were no material changes in the information required to be provided under Item 305 of Regulation S-K included under Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative DisclosuresAbout Market Risk in the 2018 Form 10-K, other than the U.S. Treasury rate locks described in Note 10, Derivatives, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.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:

- 5% $261 $166
+ 10% $(300) $(395)
-10% $410 $315



Interest Rate Risk
Occidental acquired interest rate swap contracts in the Merger. Occidental pays a fixed interest rate and 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, 2019. In October 2019, $125 million of notional interest rate swaps were terminated. 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 term of 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 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2019.

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 three months ended JuneSeptember 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

For information regarding legal proceedings, see Note 7, - 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 intended benefits of the merger, and the merger may disruptnear term, or at all.



Future results will be negatively impacted if Occidental does not effectively manage its current plans orexpanded operations.

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

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

Occidental expects to fundfunded the cash portion of the Merger consideration by incurring up to $21.8 billion of third-party indebtedness and issuing shares of series A preferred stock and a warrant to acquire common stock pursuant to the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. investment. In addition, Occidental expects to assumeassumed approximately $11.9 billion aggregate principal amount of Anadarko’s outstanding long-term debt, excluding finance lease liabilities, as well as approximately $7.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Western Midstream Operating, LP’sWES Midstream’s outstanding short- and long-term debt non-recourse to Occidental, in the merger.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. See Note 14, Anadarko Acquisition and Other, in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information about the Berkshire Hathaway investment.

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

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


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

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

The Total transaction is conditioned on the completion of the merger and the receipt of required regulatory approvals as well as other customary closing conditions. Occidental may not be able to consummatecomplete 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 mergerMerger (including the Total transaction), Occidental may not be able to complete its planned divestitures on favorable terms or at all. Any difficulties with respect to the completion of the Total transaction or other planned divestitures could have a material adverse effect on Occidental’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or stock price. See Note 14, Anadarko Acquisition4 - 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 currently expectsis vulnerable to risks associated with our offshore operations that could negatively impact our operations and financial results. Occidental conducts offshore operations in the mergerGulf 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 be accretivecertain unique risks associated with operating offshore, including those relating to its cash flow per share (calculated as cash flowthe 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 operations before working capital, less distributions attributable to noncontrolling interest, divided by total common diluted shares outstanding) and free cash flow per share (calculated as cash flow from operations before working capital, less distributions attributable to non-controlling interest, capex, preferred dividends and common dividends, divided by total common diluted shares outstanding), within twelve months after the completionoil spills or releases of the merger. This expectation, however, is based on preliminary estimates that may materially change. hazardous materials

• response capabilities for personnel, equipment, or environmental incidents

In addition, Occidental could fail to realize all the benefits anticipatedconducts 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 transaction or experience delays or inefficienciesGulf of Mexico, as well as international deepwater locations, lack the physical and oilfield service infrastructure present in realizing such benefits. Such factors could, when combined withshallower waters. As a result, deepwater operations may require significant time between a discovery and the issuance of shares oftime that Occidental common stock in the merger, result in the transaction being dilutive to Occidental’s cash flow per share and/or free cash flow per share, which could negatively affect thecan market price of shares of Occidental common stock.

Occidental's commodity-price risk-management and trading activities may prevent us from fully benefiting from price increases and may expose us to regulatory and other risks.

To the extent that we engage in commodity price risk-management activities to protect Occidental's cash flows from commodity price declines, we may be prevented from realizing the full benefits of price increases above the levels of the derivative instruments used to manage price risk. In addition, Occidental's commodity-price risk-management and trading activities may expose us toits production, thereby increasing the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which the following occur:
Occidental's production is less than the notional volume;
the counterparties to Occidental's hedging or other price risk management contracts fail to perform under those arrangements; and
a sudden unexpected event materially impacts oil, natural gas, or NGL prices.
