Share Repurchase Program

Spent $1.13 billion to repurchase 20.6 million shares
during 2007 at an average price of $54.75 a share.

Repurchased 51.2 mm shares since program
inception in February 2006 at an average price of
$50.84 a share.

6.3 million shares remained under the current 55
mm share repurchase authorization as of 12/31/07.

Cost Reduction Program

Oxy has embarked on a Cost Reduction Program

The impact of the Program:

It will affect operating and G&A costs;

Restructuring charge taken in 2007 totaling $25 mm;

Expect a similar amount to be taken in 2008;

Improvements made in our procurement function;

Combined savings realized from this program are expected to be
$200 mm in 2008 with a longer-term annualized run-rate of $300 mm.

The primary focus of this program is on the more mature
areas of the company, as opposed to our areas of growth.

29

 

Summary - Corporate Strategy/Philosophy

Focus on core areas – long-term production growth
of 5 - 8% CAGR

US - California & Permian Basin

Middle East/North Africa

Statements in this presentation that contain words such as "will," "expect" or "estimate,"
or otherwise relate to the future, are forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties
that could significantly affect expected results.  Factors that could cause results to differ
materially include, but are not limited to: exploration risks such as drilling of unsuccessful
wells, global commodity pricing fluctuations and supply/demand considerations for oil,
gas and chemicals; higher than expected costs; operational interruptions; political risks;
changes in tax rates; unrealized acquisition benefits or higher than expected integration
costs; and not successfully completing (or any material delay in) any expansion, capital
expenditure, acquisition or disposition.  You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this presentation.  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.  
Additionally, the SEC requires oil and natural gas companies, in their filings, to disclose
non-financial statistical information about their consolidated entities separately from such
information about their equity holdings and not to show combined totals.  The United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and natural gas
companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves demonstrated
by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically producible under
existing economic and operating conditions.  We use certain terms in this presentation,
such as recoverable reserves, that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit us from using in
filings with the SEC.  Certain information in this presentation is shown on a combined
basis; however, the information is disclosed separately on our web site at
www.oxy.com.
U.S. investors are urged to consider carefully the disclosure in our Form 10-K, available
through 1-888-699-7383 or at
