For Immediate Release: July 23, 2009

Occidental Petroleum Announces Net Income for Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2009

LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2009 - -- Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) announced net income of $682 million ($0.84 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2009, compared with $2.3 billion ($2.78 per diluted share) for the second quarter of 2008.

In announcing the results, Dr. Ray R. Irani, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Occidental achieved year-over-year production growth of 10 percent in the second quarter and nearly nine percent in the six months of 2009. Our discovery in Kern County, California which was announced yesterday should also contribute to our future growth."

QUARTERLY RESULTS

Oil and Gas

Oil and gas segment earnings were $1.1 billion for the second quarter of 2009, compared with $3.8 billion for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the second quarter 2009 segment earnings reflected lower crude oil and natural gas prices and higher DD&A rates, partially offset by higher oil and gas sales volumes and lower operating expenses.

For the second quarter of 2009, daily oil and gas sales volumes averaged 649,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), compared with 588,000 BOE sold in the second quarter of 2008. Volumes increased by approximately 3 percent domestically, mainly from California and Midcontinent/Rockies, by about 37 percent in Latin America mostly in Argentina, and by 16 percent in the Middle East/North Africa largely in Oman and Dolphin. California volumes included increases in Long Beach resulting from economic arrangements similar to a production sharing contract and production from new exploration wells in Elk Hills.

Oxy's realized price for worldwide crude oil was $52.97 per barrel for the second quarter of 2009, compared with $110.12 per barrel for the second quarter of 2008. Domestic realized gas prices decreased from $9.99 per MCF in the second quarter of 2008 to $2.87 per MCF for the second quarter of 2009.

Chemicals

Chemical segment earnings for the second quarter 2009 were $115 million, compared with $144 million for the same period in 2008. The second quarter of 2009 results reflect the continued weakness in the U.S. housing, automotive and durable goods sectors resulting in lower volumes for chlorine, caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride. The lower volumes were partially offset by lower feedstock and energy costs.

Midstream, Marketing and Other

Midstream segment earnings were $63 million for the second quarter of 2009, compared with $161 million for the second quarter of 2008. The second quarter of 2009 earnings reflect lower margins in the gas processing, marketing, and power generation businesses.

SIX MONTH RESULTS

Net income for the six months of 2009 was $1.1 billion ($1.29 per diluted share), compared with $4.1 billion ($5.00 per diluted share) for the six months of 2008.

Core results were $1.1 billion ($1.34 per diluted share) for the six months of 2009, compared with $4.1 billion ($4.97 per diluted share) for the six months of 2008.

Oil and Gas

Oil and gas segment earnings were $1.6 billion for the six months of 2009, compared with $6.7 billion for the same period of 2008. The decrease in segment earnings reflected lower crude oil and natural gas prices and higher DD&A rates, partially offset by increased sales volumes and lower operating and administrative costs.

Daily oil and gas sales volumes for the first six months was 651,000 BOE for 2009, compared with 598,000 BOE per day for the same 2008 period. Volumes increased by approximately 4 percent

domestically mainly from California and Midcontinent/Rockies, by about 26 percent in Latin America mostly in Argentina, and by 11 percent in the Middle East/North Africa largely due to Oman and Dolphin. Higher volumes in domestic assets included production from new exploration wells in California.

Oxy's worldwide crude oil realized price was $46.05 per barrel for the six months of 2009, compared with $98.16 per barrel for the six months of 2008. Domestic realized gas prices decreased from $9.09 per MCF in the six months of 2008 to $3.20 per MCF in the six months of 2009.

Chemicals

Chemical segment earnings for the six months of 2009 were $284 million, compared with $323 million for the same period of 2008. The 2009 six month results reflect lower volumes for chlorine, caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride due to the economic slowdown, partially offset by lower feedstock and energy costs.

Midstream, Marketing and Other

Midstream segment earnings were $77 million for the six months of 2009, compared with $284 million for the same period in 2008. The earnings decline in 2009 reflects lower margins in the gas processing, power generation, and marketing businesses.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS AFFECTING EARNINGS

Occidental's results of operations often include the effects of significant transactions and events affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing and amount. Therefore, management uses a measure called "core results," which excludes those items. This non-GAAP measure is not meant to disassociate those items from management's performance, but rather is meant to provide useful information to investors interested in comparing Occidental's earnings performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management's performance over the long term. Core results is not considered to be an alternative to operating income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings Announcement

 

July 23, 2009

Los Angeles, California

 

 

 

Thank you, Chris, and good morning ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us today.

 

After yesterday’s market close, we announced a significant discovery of oil and gas reserves in Kern County, California. We believe it to be the largest new oil and gas discovery made in the state in more than 35 years.

 

This new field discovery, within the outlined area of the six wells we have drilled to date, contains 150 million to 250 million gross barrels equivalent of oil and gas reserves. We believe it is probable that there are additional reserves outside the outlined area. Mr. Steve Chazen will give you more details about this exciting program later on.

 

It is also possible that there are similar accumulations elsewhere in Oxy’s 1.1 million-acre net leasehold and fee mineral holdings in California.

 

Let me share with you how we got to our current exciting and rewarding position.

 

Oxy has been a California oil and gas producer for more than 50 years. Our most significant expansion was in 1998, with our acquisition of the Elk Hills field from the U.S. government.

 

When Elk Hills was acquired by Oxy in 1998 it had approximately 425 million BOE of proved reserves. Since then, it has produced more than 364 million BOE. Yet – as a result of the technology applied by Oxy over the past

 

 

1

11 years –we have actually been able to increase its proved reserves to more than 491 million BOE today. The total production and proved reserves since Oxy acquired the Elk Hills field is approaching one billion BOE.

 

In the years immediately following the Elk Hills acquisition, we purchased THUMS, our operation in Long Beach Harbor, followed by our acquisition of a number of additional California properties. Those include oil and gas assets from Vintage Petroleum, Plains, Tidelands in Long Beach near THUMS, as well as other properties.

 

Oxy’s current combined California assets include more than 7,500 active wells located in 90 fields spanning 600 miles. They are currently producing approximately 130,000 BOE per day, 71 percent of which is oil, and at year-end 2008 had approximately 708 million BOE of proved reserves. California represents approximately 20 percent of Oxy’s worldwide production.

 

Oxy is currently the third-largest oil producer in California and the largest natural gas producer. We see additional potential in our California holdings by our applying current technologies and the newest thinking to exploration and production. We have invested in California exploration accordingly, and we expect this activity to continue for the next five to ten years.

 

Oxy’s California and U.S. exploration and production program is part of an overall effort to build a pipeline of growth projects in keeping with our long-term strategy for increasing stockholder value. In addition, we continue to grow in our other core regions.

 

Oxy’s presence and production in the Middle East – currently producing approximately 186,000 BOE per day or 29 percent of our total production – continues to expand.

 

In recent months we have signed new agreements in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi and Oman, where we have an agreement to develop four gas fields in a newly formed contract area. First production at those assets is expected in the near future.

 

 

2

Also in Oman, production at the Mukhaizna oil field, where we have a large-scale steam flood project, is meeting its targets and growing. We are on pace to achieve an exit rate of 80,000 barrels per day at the close of 2009.

 

I’ll now turn the call over to Steve Chazen to give you our second quarter financial results and other details.

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings Announcement

 

July 23, 2009

Los Angeles, California

 

Thank you Ray.

Net income was $682 million in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2008.

Here’s the segment breakdown for the second quarter.

Oil and gas second quarter 2009 segment earnings were $1.1 billion, compared to $3.8 billion for the second quarter of 2008.

 

The $2.7 billion decrease in the second quarter of 2009 earnings was due to lower crude oil and natural gas prices and higher DD&A rates; partially offset by higher sales volumes and lower operating expenses. Occidental’s average realized crude oil price in the 2009 second quarter was $52.97 per barrel, a decrease of 52 percent from the $110.12 per barrel in the comparable period of 2008. Oxy’s domestic average realized gas price for the quarter was $2.87 per mcf, compared with $9.99 per mcf for the second quarter of 2008.

 

 

4

 

Worldwide oil and gas sales volumes for the second quarter of 2009 were 649,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of 10 percent, compared with 588,000 BOE per day in the second quarter of last year. The increase includes 20,000 BOE per day from Dolphin, 18,000 BOE per day from Argentina, 17,000 BOE per day from Oman and 12,000 BOE per day from domestic operations; partially offset by 19,000 BOE per day from Libya.

 

o

The Argentina increase includes 8,000 BOE per day from new production coming on line and the effect of a 15,000 BOE per day production loss due to a strike in the second quarter of 2008, partially offset by a 5,000 BOE per day loss from a strike in June 2009.

 

o

Dolphin's increase reflects higher cost recovery volumes in the second quarter of 2009 resulting from a catch-up of unrecovered volumes from the first quarter of 2009.

 

o

Substantially all of the domestic volume increase in the Midcontinent/Rockies and Permian was attributable to 2008 acquisitions. California production increased as a result of new wells. Compared to the first quarter of 2009, Long Beach production decreased by 6,000 BOE per day due to its contract that is similar to a production sharing agreement.

 

o

The Middle East/North Africa included higher production in Oman and Dolphin and higher production sharing volumes compared to last year's second quarter. Compared to the first quarter of 2009, production sharing volumes decreased by 14,000 BOE per day.

 

 

5

 

Exploration expense was $54 million in the quarter, in line with our guidance of $60 million.

Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production and property taxes, were $10.32 a barrel for the first six months of 2009, a 15 percent decline from last year's twelve-month costs of $12.13 a barrel. In the second quarter of 2009, Oil & Gas cash production costs declined to $10.17 per BOE, compared to the first quarter of 2009 run rate of $10.48 per BOE. These declines are due to lower workover, maintenance and utilities costs and for the change from prior year, the effect of higher production sharing volumes. The lower costs reflect our continued cost reduction efforts.

Taxes – other than on income were $1.76 per barrel for the first six months of 2009 compared to $2.62 per barrel for all of 2008. These costs, which are sensitive to product prices, reflect lower crude oil and gas prices in the first half of 2009. In the second quarter of 2009 these taxes increased to $1.82 per BOE, compared to the first quarter of 2009 rate of $1.71 per BOE, due to higher crude oil prices.

Chemical segment earnings for the second quarter of 2009 were $115 million, compared to our guidance of $100 million. The higher earnings were attributable primarily to higher than expected chlorine pricing. Chemicals earned $144 million in last year's second quarter.

Midstream segment earnings for the second quarter of 2009 were $63 million, compared to $161 million in the second quarter of 2008. The decline in earnings was due to lower NGL realized prices in the gas processing business, lower earnings in crude oil marketing and reduced margins in the power generation business.

 

 

6

The worldwide effective tax rate was 40 percent for the second quarter of 2009, compared with our guidance of 43 percent. The decrease in rate reflects a higher proportion of expected total year domestic source pre-tax income.

Let me now turn to Occidental's performance during the first six months.

Net income was $1.1 billion for the first six months of 2009, compared with $4.1 billion for the first six months of 2008.

Capital spending for the second quarter of 2009 was $831 million and $1.9 billion for the first six months. We currently anticipate total year 2009 capital spending to be at $3.6 billion. The $100 million increase from our last estimate is mostly allocated to foreign Oil & Gas locations.

Cash flow from operations for the six months of 2009 was $2.2 billion. We used $2.4 billion of the company’s cash flow to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and signing bonus payments in Libya and Oman and $520 million to pay dividends. In the second quarter we issued $750 million of 4.125% senior notes due in 2016, with net proceeds from the offering of $740 million. The cash balance at June 30 was $1.8 billion.

The weighted average basic shares outstanding for the six months were 810.8 million and the weighted average diluted shares outstanding were 813.7 million.

As we look ahead in the current quarter:

 

We expect oil and gas sales volumes to be similar to second quarter levels, at about current oil prices. The third quarter production is expected to reflect decreases from Midcontinent/Rockies due to natural declines and Dolphin due to its production sharing contract, offset by increases in California, Argentina and Oman.

With regard to prices - -

 

 

7

 

At current market prices, a $1.00 per barrel change in oil prices impacts oil and gas quarterly earnings before income taxes by about $39 million. The average second quarter WTI oil price was $59.62.

 

A swing of 50-cents per million BTUs in domestic gas prices has a $20 million impact on quarterly earnings before income taxes. While current NYMEX gas price is around $3.70, prices in California are currently about $3.50, in the Permian about $3.30, and the Rockies gas is in the $3.00 range.

Additionally -

 

We expect exploration expense to be about $50 million for seismic and drilling for our exploration programs.

 

For the chemical segment, the second half of the year looks exceptionally weak. The weakness in caustic soda is not being offset by chlorine price increases, resulting in declines in margins. The fourth quarter is traditionally the weakest for this business and we currently expect it to be about break even. We expect the third quarter chemical earnings to fall at least 50 percent from the second quarter level.

 

We expect our combined worldwide tax rate in the third quarter of 2009 to be in the range of 40 to 42 percent depending on the split between domestic and foreign sourced income. Our second quarter U. S. and foreign tax rates are included in the “Investor Relations Supplemental Schedule.”

 

California Exploration – Excluding the Kern County discovery discussed in yesterday's press release, over the course of little over a year, we have drilled 34 exploration wells seeking non-traditional hydrocarbon bearing zones in California. Of these wells, 9 are

 

 

8

commercial and 16 are currently being evaluated. We expect to drill an additional 8 exploration wells in 2009. Occidental holds 1.1 million acres of net fee minerals and leasehold in California, which have been acquired in the last few years to exploit these opportunities. Discoveries similar to the Kern County discovery are possible in this net acre position. Additionally, we continue to pursue shale production which is expected to produce oil on this acreage.

 

As we announced yesterday, we made a significant conventional (i.e. non-shale-without stimulation) discovery in Kern County, California. We believe there are between 150 million and 250 million gross BOE reserves within the small producing area delineated by the six wells drilled to date. The discovery area's multiple producing zones, whose areal geological extent is still being defined, consists of both conventional oil and conventional gas bearing zones. It is probable that there are additional reserves outside the currently defined area as the field limits have not yet been seen. This is a classic oil and gas field with large pay zones with high permeabilities. It is most similar to a deep water discovery and bears no relationship at all to so called resource plays.

 

In the Kern County discovery area, we are currently producing from six wells approximately 74 million cubic feet of gas and 5,000 barrels of liquids per day, which is more than double the daily BOE production we disclosed last quarter. All of this production comes from conventional zones. While there will be oil production from shale zones in this area, the bulk of the future production will come from conventional wells. During 2009, we expect to drill an additional 17 wells. The wells in this area cost about $3.5 to $4.0

 

 

9

million to drill and complete and have payout periods of less than six months. The combined finding, development and lifting costs are expected to be significantly less than $10 per BOE. We will also need to expand our 400 million cubic feet per day gas processing plant in Elk Hills to accommodate the expected production from this Kern County discovery. Our overall working and revenue interest in this discovery is about 80%.

 

No additional details will be provided at this time. We expect to update the production information next quarter.

 

Copies of the press release announcing our second quarter earnings and the Investor Relations Supplemental Schedules are available on our website at www.oxy.com or through the SEC’s EDGAR system.

Now we’re ready to take your questions.

+ 18 mboe/d from Argentina;

+ 17 mboe/d from Oman, and;

+ 12 mboe/d from domestic operations, partially offset by;

-  19 mboe/d from Libya.

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings –
Oil & Gas Segment

The Argentina increase includes:

+ 8 mboe/d from new production coming on line;

the effect of a 15 mboe/d production loss due to a strike in 2Q08, and;

partially offset by a 5 mboe/d loss from a strike in June 2009.

Dolphin’s increase reflects higher cost recovery volumes in 2Q09
resulting from a catch-up of unrecovered volumes from 1Q09.

Substantially all of the domestic volume increase in the
Midcontinent/Rockies and Permian was attributable to 2008 acquisitions;

California production increased as a result of new wells;

Long Beach production decreased 6 mboe/d from 1Q09 due to its contract
that is similar to a production sharing agreement.

The Middle East/North Africa included higher production in Oman and
Dolphin and higher production sharing volumes compared to 2Q08;

Compared to 1Q09, production sharing volumes decreased by 14 mboe/d.

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings – Oil & Gas
Segment – Cash Production Costs and Taxes

Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production and
property taxes, were $10.32 per boe in 1H09.

This represents a 15% decline from 2008 full-year costs of $12.13 per boe.

Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production and
property taxes, were $10.17 per boe in 2Q09 vs. $10.48 per
boe in 1Q09.

These declines are due to lower workover, maintenance and utilities costs
and, for the change from the prior year, the effect of higher production
sharing volumes.

The lower costs reflect our continued cost reduction efforts.

Taxes – other than on income were $1.76 per boe for 1H09
vs. $2.62 per boe for all of 2008.

These costs, which are sensitive to product prices, reflect lower crude oil and
natural gas prices during 1H09.

In 2Q09, these taxes increased to $1.82 per boe, compared to the 1Q09 rate
of $1.71 per boe, due to higher crude oil prices.

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings – 3Q09 Outlook

We expect 3Q09 oil and gas sales volumes to be similar to
2Q09, at about current oil prices.

This volume range reflects decreases from Midcontinent/Rockies due to
natural declines and Dolphin due to its production sharing contract, offset by
increases in California, Argentina and Oman.

Commodity Price Sensitivity – Earnings

At current market prices, a $1.00 per barrel change in oil prices impacts oil
and gas quarterly earnings before income taxes by about $39 mm;

A swing of $0.50 per mmBTU in domestic gas prices has a $20 mm impact
on quarterly earnings before income taxes;

While the current NYMEX gas price is around $3.70 per mmBTU, prices in
California are about $3.50, in the Permian about $3.30, and the Rockies gas
is in the $3.00 range.

We expect 3Q09 exploration expense to be about $50 mm
for seismic and drilling for our exploration programs.

 

 

14

 

15

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings – 3Q09 Outlook

For the Chemical segment, the second half of 2009 looks
exceptionally weak.

The weakness in caustic soda is not being offset by chlorine price
increases, resulting in declining margins;

The fourth quarter is traditionally the weakest for this business and we
currently expect it to be about break even;

We expect 3Q09 Chemical earnings to fall at least 50% from 2Q09 levels.

We expect our combined worldwide tax rate for 3Q09 to be
in the 40% to 42% range, depending on the split between
domestic and foreign sourced income.

16

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings –
California Exploration

Excluding the Kern County
discovery:

Over the course of little over a year,
we have drilled 34 exploration wells
seeking non-traditional hydrocarbon
bearing zones in California.

Of these wells, 9 are commercial
and 16 are currently being
evaluated;

We expect to drill an additional 8
exploration wells in 2009;

Oxy holds 1.1 mm acres of net fee
minerals and leasehold in CA, which
have been acquired in the last few
years to exploit these opportunities.
Discoveries similar to the Kern
County discovery are possible in
this net acre position.

17

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings –
California Exploration – Kern County Discovery

KERN COUNTY DISCOVERY AREA

Oxy believes there are between 150 mm and 250 mm gross
barrels of oil equivalent reserves within the outlined area
where we have drilled 6 wells to date.

Oxy’s interest in the discovery area is approximately 80%.

Approximately two-thirds of the discovery is believed to be
natural gas.

The discovery area's producing zones, whose areal
geological extent is still being defined, consists of
conventional oil and gas bearing formations.

It is probable that there are additional reserves outside the
defined area.

Second Quarter 2009 Earnings –
California Exploration – Kern County Discovery

In the Kern County discovery
area:

We expect to drill an additional 17
wells during 2009;

The wells in this area cost about
$3.5 to $4.0 million to drill and
complete and have payout periods
of less than six months;

The combined finding, development,
