During the last five years none of the Companies or the natural persons
named above (a) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors) (b) was a party to a civil proceeding of a

such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
On January 29, 2003, pursuant to a commitment letter, dated November 25,
2002, between Occidental C.O.B. Partners, a Delaware general partnership ("Oxy
Partners") and Premcor Inc., Oxy Partners and Occidental Petroleum Corporation
("Occidental") purchased 1,025,427 shares and 274,573 shares, respectively, of
Premcor Common Stock for $19.20 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of
$19,688,198.40 and $5,271,801.60, respectively. The funds for the purchase by
Oxy Partners came from an inter-company loan from Occidental. The funds for the
purchase by Occidental and the loan to Oxy Partners came from working capital.
On June 6, 2002, pursuant to a Warrant Exercise and Share Exchange
Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2002 (the "Exercise and Exchange Agreement"),
by and among Occidental, Oxy Partners, Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant
Banking Fund L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Blackstone Offshore Capital
Partners III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Blackstone Family Investment
Partnership III L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Premcor and Sabine River
Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Sabine") and a majority-owned subsidiary
of Premcor, Occidental exchanged 681,818 shares of the Common Stock of Sabine
for 1,363,636 shares of Premcor Common Stock.
The remaining 6,371,010 shares of Premor Common Stock held by Occidental
and its affiliate, Oxy Partners, were acquired from Premcor in a series of
transactions beginning in 1995 prior to Premcor becoming a publicly traded
company.
Page 13 of 18 Pages
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
Directly and through Oxy Partners, Occidental currently holds its Premcor
Shares for investment purposes only with a view toward maximizing long-term
shareholder value for Occidental's shareholders and not for the purpose of
controlling Premcor.
The purchase of additional shares in January 2003 was made to provide a
portion of the funds necessary for Premcor to acquire certain refining assets
from The Williams Companies. In addition, the purchase maintained Occidental's
and Oxy Partner's ownership percentages in Premcor at a level sufficient to
avoid a deemed change in Premcor's ownership that would limit Premcor's use of
its net operating losses.
Other than as set forth in Item 6 of this Amendment 1 to Schedule 13D,
Occidental currently has no plans which relate to or would result in or any of
the actions listed in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D..
However, Occidental reviews and analyzes on a continuing basis its investments
in each of its subsidiaries and other operations, including the Premcor Shares,
in order to determine whether shareholder value for Occidental's shareholders is
better served by holding those investments, increasing or disposing of or
monetizing those investments or recapitalizing or otherwise restructuring those
investments. With respect to the Premcor Shares, these reviews and analyses are
based upon a variety of factors, including without limitation, the price of, and
other market conditions relating to, the Premcor Shares, the investment return
on the Premcor Shares, Premcor's business and prospects, other investment and
business opportunities available to Occidental, general stock market and
economic conditions, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant.

(c) On January 29, 2003, pursuant to a commitment letter, dated November 25,
2002, between Occidental C.O.B. Partners, a Delaware general partnership ("Oxy
Partners") and Premcor Inc., Oxy Partners and Occidental Petroleum Corporation
("Occidental") purchased, in connection with Premcor's public offering of 12.5
million shares, 1,025,427 shares and 274,573 shares, respectively, of Premcor
Common Stock for $19.20 per share.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement, dated
as of November 3, 1997 (the "Amended Stockholders' Agreement"), between Oxy
Partners and Premcor, which by the terms of Exercise and Exchange Agreement
became applicable to the Premcor Shares acquired by Occidental upon Exchange of
its Sabine Shares, the Premcor Shares held by Occidental and its affiliates are
not transferable except in compliance with the Amended Stockholders' Agreement.
In addition, the Amended Stockholders' Agreement (i) provides that, so long as
Occidental and its affiliates own at least 10% of the fully diluted shares of
Premcor, Occidental has the right to designate one director for election to the
board, (ii) gives Premcor a
Page 15 of 18 Pages
right of first refusal to acquire the shares in the event Occidental receives an
offer from a third party to purchase the shares for cash or cash equivalents,
and (iii) grants registration rights to Occidental if Premcor is a public
company.
Except for the Stockholders' Agreement, there are currently no other
effective contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or
otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such person and any
other person with respect to any securities of Premcor.
