Occidental Petroleum Corporation:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Occidental Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II – valuation and qualifying accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting*.*
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Evaluation of the environmental liability associated with the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River site
As discussed in Notes 1 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company accrues a liability for estimated environmental remedial activities when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of remediation costs can be estimated. The Company accrued a liability related to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the remedial activities required for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River site. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s total estimated environmental liabilities were $1.1 billion, which includes the estimated environmental liability for the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River site.
We identified the evaluation of the environmental liability associated with the lower 8.3 miles of the Lower Passaic River site as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in applying and evaluating the results of our procedures. This is due to (1) possible changes to expected remedial activities to implement the proposed clean-up plan outlined in the Record of Decision (ROD) issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and their estimated costs, and (2) possible changes to the Company’s estimated share of the remediation costs.
| OXY 2021 FORM 10-K | 59 |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS REPORT |
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s environmental liability process to estimate the cost of remedial activities and estimate the Company’s allocable share of the remediation costs. We evaluated the remedial activities and related cost assumptions used by the Company by comparing them against remedial activities and cost estimates provided by the EPA in the ROD. We compared certain design documentation provided by the Company to the EPA in order to identify potential differences between the design plan and the ROD and assessed the impact of any such differences on the remediation cost assumptions used by the Company to estimate the liability. We assessed the Company’s assumption for its allocable share of the remediation costs and analyzed publicly available data sources for information that might be contrary to the information used by the Company. We involved an environmental analysis professional with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in reading correspondence between the Company and the EPA related to the design phase for this site to assess the Company’s remediation cost assumptions.
Assessment of the estimated proved oil and gas reserves on the determination of depreciation and depletion expense related to proved oil and gas properties
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company determines depreciation and depletion of oil and gas producing properties by the unit-of-production method. Under this method, capitalized costs are amortized over estimated proved reserves. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded depreciation and depletion expense related to proved oil and gas properties of $7.7 billion.
We identified the assessment of the estimated proved oil and gas reserves on the determination of depreciation and depletion expense related to proved oil and gas properties as a critical audit matter. Complex auditor judgment was required to assess the Company’s estimate of proved oil and gas reserves, which is a key input for the determination of depreciation and depletion expense. Estimating proved oil and gas reserves requires the expertise of professional petroleum reservoir engineers. The key assumptions included (1) commodity prices, inclusive of market differentials, (2) estimated future production quantities, and (3) estimated operating and capital costs.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s depreciation and depletion process, including the estimation of proved oil and gas reserves. We analyzed and assessed the determination of depreciation and depletion expense for compliance with industry and regulatory standards. We assessed compliance of the methodology used by the Company’s engineering and technical staff to estimate proved oil and gas reserves with industry and regulatory standards. We read the findings of the independent reservoir engineering specialist’s review of the methods and procedures used by the Company in estimating the proved reserves for compliance with industry and regulatory standards. We assessed the commodity prices, including relevant market differentials, used by the Company’s engineering and technical staff by comparing them to publicly available prices, adjusted for historical market differentials. To assess the Company’s ability to accurately estimate future production quantities, we compared the future production quantity assumptions used by the Company in prior periods to the actual production amounts. We compared the estimated future production quantities used by the Company in the current period to historical production rates. We evaluated the operating and capital cost assumptions used by the Company’s engineering and technical staff by comparing them to historical costs. We evaluated the professional qualifications and the knowledge, skills, and ability of the Company’s internal reserve engineers and the independent reservoir engineering specialists engaged by the Company.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Occidental Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II – valuation and qualifying accounts (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 24, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Assessment of and Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

| NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Occidental conducts its operations through various subsidiaries and affiliates. Occidental’s principal businesses consist of three reporting segments: oil and gas, chemical and midstream and marketing. The oil and gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil (which includes condensate), NGL and natural gas. OxyChem primarily manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The midstream and marketing segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil (which includes condensate), NGL, natural gas, CO2 and power. It also optimizes its transportation and storage capacity, and invests in entities that conduct similar activities, such as WES.
The midstream and marketing segment also includes OLCV. OLCV seeks to leverage Occidental’s legacy of carbon management expertise to develop CCUS projects, including the commercialization of DAC technology, and invests in other low-carbon technologies intended to reduce GHG emissions from our operations and strategically partner with other industries to help reduce their emissions.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP and include the accounts of Occidental, its subsidiaries, its undivided interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures and, previously, variable interest entities, for which Occidental was the primary beneficiary. Occidental accounts for its share of oil and gas exploration and production ventures, in which it has a direct working interest, by reporting its proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and cash flows within the relevant lines on the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
WES INVESTMENT
WES is a publicly traded limited partnership with its common units traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “WES.” WES owns the entire non-economic general partner interest and a 98% limited partner interest in WES Operating.
As a result of certain partnership agreement amendments and other related agreements executed in 2019, Occidental does not consolidate WES under the voting interest model since Occidental does not control the power to appoint or remove a successor general partner.
As of December 31, 2021, Occidental’s equity method investment in WES was approximately $2.0 billion, which exceeds Occidental’s pro-rata interest in the net assets of WES by $362 million. This basis difference is primarily associated with WES' PP&E and equity investments and is subject to amortization over their estimated average lives. As of December 31, 2021, Occidental owned all of a 2.2% non-voting general partner interest and 49.7% of the limited partner units in WES. On a combined basis, with its 2% non-voting limited partner interest in WES Operating, Occidental's total effective economic interest in WES and its subsidiaries was 51.8%. See Note 4 - Investment and Related-Party Transactions.
INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
Occidental’s percentage interest in the underlying net assets of affiliates for which it exercises significant influence without having a controlling interest (excluding oil and gas ventures in which Occidental holds an undivided interest) are accounted for under the equity method. Occidental reviews equity-method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value may have occurred. The amount of impairment, if any, is based on quoted market prices, when available, or other valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows. Occidental evaluates the facts and circumstances of any distributions in excess of its carrying amount in the investment to determine the appropriate accounting, including the source of the proceeds and any implicit or explicit commitments to fund the affiliate. If there is no implicit or explicit commitment the distribution is treated as a gain. If an implicit or explicit commitment exists to possibly fund the affiliate at a future date the distribution is recorded against the equity-method investment. See Note 4 - Investments and Related-Party Transactions for further discussion regarding investments in unconsolidated entities.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In connection with the Acquisition, Occidental entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Total to sell all of the assets, liabilities, businesses and operations of Anadarko's operations in Algeria, Ghana, Mozambique and South Africa. Total and Occidental completed the sale of the Mozambique assets in September 2019 for approximately $4.2 billion and the South Africa assets in January 2020 for approximately $100 million.
In April 2020, subsequent to communications with Algerian government officials, Occidental determined that the sale of the Algeria operations to Total would not be consummated and the decision was made to continue to operate within Algeria. As a result, as of the second quarter of 2020, Occidental no longer classified the Algeria operations as a held for sale asset in discontinued operations and reclassified prior periods to reflect the Algeria operations as continuing operations.
In May 2020, Occidental and Total mutually agreed to execute a waiver of the obligation to purchase and sell the Ghana assets, and in October 2021, Occidental closed on the sale of the Ghana assets with a third party for a purchase price of $750 million. Unless otherwise indicated, information presented in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relates only to Occidental's continuing operations. Information related to discontinued operations is included in Note 5 - Acquisitions, Divestitures and Other Transactions and in some instances, where appropriate, is included as a separate disclosure within the individual Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The process of preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Occidental’s management to make informed estimates and judgments regarding certain types of financial statement balances and disclosures. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and judgments on expected outcomes as well as the materiality of transactions and balances. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information relating to such transactions and events may result in revised estimates and judgments and actual results may differ from estimates upon settlement. Management believes that these estimates and judgments provide a reasonable basis for the fair presentation of Occidental’s financial statements. Occidental establishes a valuation allowance against net operating losses and other deferred tax assets to the extent it believes the future benefit from these assets will not be realized in the statutory carryforward periods. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon Occidental generating sufficient future taxable income and reversal of temporary differences in jurisdictions where such assets originate.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include assets of approximately $7.7 billion as of December 31, 2021 and net sales of approximately $4.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021, relating to Occidental’s operations in countries outside North America. Occidental operates some of its oil and gas business in countries that have experienced situations including such things as political instability, nationalizations, corruption, armed conflict, terrorism, insurgency, civil unrest, security problems, labor unrest, OPEC production restrictions, equipment import restrictions and sanctions, all of which increase Occidental’s risk of loss, delayed or restricted production or may result in other adverse consequences. Occidental attempts to conduct its affairs so as to mitigate its exposure to such risks and would seek compensation in the event of nationalization.
Because Occidental’s major products are commodities, significant changes in the prices of oil, NGL, natural gas and chemical products may have a significant impact on Occidental’s results of operations. Also, see Property, Plant and Equipment section below.
RECEIVABLES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
Trade receivables, net, of $4.2 billion and $2.1 billion as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, represent rights to payment for which Occidental has satisfied its obligations under a contract with a customer and its right to payment is conditioned only on the passage of time.
Other current assets includes amounts receivable from working interest partners in Occidental’s oil and gas operations, derivative assets and taxes receivable.
INVENTORIES
Materials and supplies are valued at weighted-average cost and are reviewed periodically for obsolescence. Oil, NGL and natural gas inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.
For the chemical segment, Occidental’s finished goods inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. For most of its domestic inventories, other than materials and supplies, the chemical segment uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method as it better matches current costs and current revenue. For other countries, Occidental uses the first-in, first-out method (if the costs of goods are specifically identifiable) or the average-cost method (if the costs of goods are not specifically identifiable).

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
OIL AND GAS
The carrying value of Occidental’s PP&E represents the cost incurred to acquire or develop the asset, including any AROs and capitalized interest, net of accumulated DD&A and any impairment charges. For assets acquired, PP&E cost is based on fair values at the acquisition date. AROs and interest costs incurred in connection with qualifying capital expenditures are capitalized and amortized over the lives of the related assets.
Occidental uses the successful efforts method to account for its oil and gas properties. Under this method, Occidental capitalizes costs of acquiring properties, costs of drilling successful exploration wells and development costs. The costs of exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending a determination of whether proved reserves have been found. If proved reserves have been found, the costs of exploratory wells remain capitalized. For exploratory wells that find reserves that cannot be classified as proved when drilling is completed, costs continue to be capitalized as suspended exploratory drilling costs if there have been sufficient reserves found to justify completion as a producing well and sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operating viability of the project. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory drilling costs in light of ongoing exploration activities, in particular, whether Occidental is making sufficient progress in its ongoing exploration and appraisal efforts or, in the case of discoveries requiring government sanctioning, analyzing whether development negotiations are underway and proceeding as planned. If management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory well costs are expensed.
The following table summarizes the activity of capitalized exploratory well costs for continuing operations for the years ended December 31:

Occidental expenses annual lease rentals, the costs of injectants used in production and geological and geophysical costs as incurred.
Occidental determines depreciation and depletion of oil and gas producing properties by the unit-of-production method. It amortizes leasehold costs over total proved reserves and capitalized development and successful exploration costs over proved developed reserves. As a result of Occidental's mid-year reserve review undertaken in the second quarter of 2021, DD&A rates for the second half of 2021 were lower compared to the first half of 2021 due to increased proved reserves primarily related to positive price revisions. Proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves were estimated during this mid-year review using the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. Proved reserves includes PUD reserves. PUD reserves are supported by a management approved, detailed, field-level development plan where sufficient capital has been committed to develop those reserves. Only PUD reserves which are reasonably certain to be drilled within five years of booking and are supported by a final investment decision to drill them are included in the development plan. A portion of the PUD reserves associated with international operations are expected to be developed beyond the five years and are tied to approved long-term development projects.
Occidental performs impairment tests with respect to its proved properties whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of property may not be recoverable. If there is an indication the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered due to significant and prolonged declines in current and forward prices, significant changes in reserve estimates, changes in management’s plans, or other significant events, management will evaluate the property for impairment. Under the successful efforts method, if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the proved property, the carrying value is reduced to estimated fair value and reported as an impairment charge in the period. Individual proved properties are grouped for impairment purposes at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows unless observable and comparable transactions are available. The fair value of impaired assets is typically determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows using discount rates believed to be consistent with those used by market participants. The impairment test incorporates a number of assumptions involving expectations of future cash flows which can change significantly over time. These assumptions include estimates of future production,
| 70 | OXY 2021 FORM 10-K |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
product prices, contractual prices, estimates of risk-adjusted oil and gas proved and unproved reserves and estimates of future operating and development costs. It is reasonably possible that prolonged declines in commodity prices, reduced capital spending in response to lower prices or increases in operating costs could result in additional impairments. See Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements and below for further discussion of asset impairments.
Net capitalized costs attributable to unproved properties were $14.8 billion as of December 31, 2021 and $18.6 billion as of December 31, 2020. The unproved amounts are not subject to DD&A until they are classified as proved properties. Individually insignificant unproved properties are combined and amortized on a group basis based on factors such as lease terms, success rates and other factors to provide for full amortization upon lease expiration or abandonment.
Significant unproved properties, primarily as a result of the Acquisition, are assessed individually for impairment and when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of property may not be recovered a valuation allowance is provided if an impairment is indicated. Occidental periodically reviews significant unproved properties for impairments; numerous factors are considered, including but not limited to, availability of funds for future exploration and development activities, current exploration and development plans, favorable or unfavorable exploration activity on the property or the adjacent property, geologists’ evaluation of the property, the current and projected political and regulatory climate, contractual conditions and the remaining lease term for the properties. If an impairment is indicated, Occidental will first determine whether a comparable transaction for similar properties or implied acreage valuation derived from domestic onshore market participants is available and will adjust the carrying amount of the unproved property to its fair value using the market approach. In situations where the market approach is not observable and unproved reserves are available, undiscounted future net cash flows used in the impairment analysis are determined based on managements’ risk adjusted estimates of unproved reserves, future commodity prices and future costs to produce the reserves. If undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property, the future net cash flows are discounted and compared to the carrying value for determining the amount of the impairment loss to record. Occidental utilizes the same assumptions and methodology discussed above for cash flows associated with proved properties.
CHEMICAL
Occidental’s chemical assets are depreciated using either the unit-of-production or the straight-line method, based upon the estimated useful lives of the facilities. The estimated useful lives of Occidental’s chemical assets, which range from three years to 50 years, are also used for impairment tests. The estimated useful lives for the chemical facilities are based on the assumption that Occidental will provide an appropriate level of annual expenditures to ensure productive capacity is sustained. Such expenditures consist of ongoing routine repairs and maintenance, as well as planned major maintenance activities (PMMA). Ongoing routine repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred. PMMA costs are capitalized and amortized over the period until the next planned overhaul. Additionally, Occidental incurs capital expenditures that extend the remaining useful lives of existing assets, increase their capacity or operating efficiency beyond the original specification or add value through modification for a different use. These capital expenditures are not considered in the initial determination of the useful lives of these assets at the time they are placed into service. The resulting revision, if any, of the asset’s estimated useful life is measured and accounted for prospectively.
Without these continued expenditures, the useful lives of these assets could decrease significantly. Other factors that could change the estimated useful lives of Occidental’s chemical assets include sustained higher or lower product prices, which are affected by domestic and international competition, demand, feedstock costs, energy prices, environmental regulations and technological changes.
Occidental performs impairment tests on its chemical assets whenever events or changes in circumstances lead to a reduction in the estimated useful lives or estimated future cash flows that would indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, or when management’s plans change with respect to those assets. Any impairment loss would be calculated as the excess of the asset’s net book value over its estimated fair value.
MIDSTREAM AND MARKETING
Occidental’s midstream and marketing PP&E is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets, using either the unit-of-production or straight-line method.
Occidental performs impairment tests on its midstream and marketing assets whenever events or changes in circumstances lead to a reduction in the estimated useful lives or estimated future cash flows that would indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, or when management’s plans change with respect to those assets. Any impairment loss would be calculated as the excess of the asset’s net book value over its estimated fair value.
IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES
During 2021, Occidental’s oil and gas segment recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $282 million primarily related to undeveloped leases that either expired or were set to expire in the near-term, where Occidental had no plans to pursue exploration activities and, to a lesser extent, impairments of oil and gas materials and supplies inventories.
| OXY 2021 FORM 10-K | 71 |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
During 2020, Occidental’s oil and gas segment recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $7.0 billion related to proved and unproved properties. An additional pre-tax impairment of $2.2 billion related to Ghana was included in discontinued operations.
During 2020, Occidental’s midstream and marketing segment recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $1.2 billion related to goodwill associated with Occidental’s ownership in WES. Significant declines in the market value of WES’ publicly traded units resulted in management’s determination that, more likely than not, the fair value of the reporting unit was significantly less than its carrying value and the entire balance was fully impaired. The market value of WES’ publicly traded units is considered a Level 1 input.
During 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 $39 million related to Occidental’s mutually agreed early termination of its Qatar Idd El Shargi South Dome (ISSD) contract.
It is reasonably possible that prolonged declines in commodity prices, reduced capital spending in response to lower prices or increases in operating costs could result in additional impairments.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the inputs to the valuation techniques: Level 1 – using quoted prices in active markets for the assets or liabilities; Level 2 – using observable inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 – using unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels, if any, are reported at the end of each reporting period.
FAIR VALUES - RECURRING
Occidental primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements, maximizes its use of observable inputs and minimizes its use of unobservable inputs. Occidental utilizes the mid-point between bid and ask prices for valuing the majority of its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. In addition to using market data, Occidental makes assumptions in valuing its assets and liabilities, including assumptions about the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. For assets and liabilities carried at fair value, Occidental measures fair value using the following methods:
■Occidental values exchange-cleared commodity derivatives using closing prices provided by the exchange as of the balance sheet date. These derivatives are classified as Level 1.
■OTC bilateral financial commodity contracts, foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, warrants, options and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts are generally classified as Level 2 and are generally valued using quotations provided by brokers or industry-standard models that consider various inputs, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, credit risk and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, and can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable prices at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
■Occidental values commodity derivatives based on a market approach that considers various assumptions, including quoted forward commodity prices and market yield curves. The assumptions used include inputs that are generally unobservable in the marketplace or are observable but have been adjusted based upon various assumptions and the fair value is designated as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.
■Occidental values debt using market-observable information for debt instruments that are traded on secondary markets. For debt instruments that are not traded, the fair value is determined by interpolating the value based on debt with similar terms and credit risk.
NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS
Occidental uses market-observable prices for assets when comparable transactions can be identified that are similar to the asset being valued. When Occidental is required to measure fair value and there is not a market-observable price for the asset or for a similar asset then the cost or income approach is used depending on the quality of information available to support management’s assumptions. The cost approach is based on management’s best estimate of the current asset replacement cost. The income approach is based on management’s best assumptions regarding expectations of future net cash flows. The expected cash flows are discounted using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate. Such evaluations involve significant judgment, and the results are based on expected future events or conditions such as sales prices, estimates of future oil and gas production or throughput, development and operating costs and the timing thereof, economic and regulatory climates and other factors, most of which are often outside of management’s control. However, assumptions used reflect a market participant’s view of long-term prices, costs and other factors and are consistent with assumptions used in Occidental’s business plans and investment decisions.

ACCRUED LIABILITIES - CURRENT
Accrued liabilities - current included accrued payroll, commissions and related expenses of $677 million and $461 million as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Dividends payable, also included in accrued liabilities - current, were $188 million and $189 million as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Derivative financial instruments, also included in accrued liabilities - current, were $0.2 billion and $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Occidental records environmental liabilities and related charges and expenses for estimated remediation costs that relate to existing conditions from past operations when environmental remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. In determining the environmental remediation liability and the range of reasonably possible additional losses, Occidental refers to currently available information, including relevant past experience, remedial objectives, available technologies, applicable laws and regulations and cost-sharing arrangements. Occidental bases its environmental remediation liabilities on management’s estimate of the most likely cost to be incurred, using the most cost-effective technology reasonably expected to achieve the remedial objective. Occidental periodically reviews its environmental remediation liabilities and adjusts them as new information becomes available. Occidental generally records reimbursements or recoveries of environmental remediation costs in income when received, or when receipt of recovery is highly probable.
Many factors could affect Occidental’s future remediation costs and result in adjustments to its environmental remediation liabilities and the range of reasonably possible additional losses. The most significant are: (1) cost estimates for remedial activities may vary from the initial estimate; (2) the length of time, type or amount of remediation necessary to achieve the remedial objective may change due to factors such as site conditions, the ability to identify and control contaminant sources or the discovery of additional contamination; (3) a regulatory agency may ultimately reject or modify Occidental’s proposed remedial plan; (4) improved or alternative remediation technologies may change remediation costs; (5) laws and regulations may change remediation requirements or affect cost sharing or allocation of liability; and (6) changes in allocation or cost-sharing arrangements may occur.
Certain sites involve multiple parties with various cost-sharing arrangements, which fall into the following three categories: (1) environmental proceedings that result in a negotiated or prescribed allocation of remediation costs among Occidental and other alleged potentially responsible parties; (2) oil and gas ventures in which each participant pays its proportionate share of remediation costs reflecting its working interest; or (3) contractual arrangements, typically relating to purchases and sales of properties, in which the parties to the transaction agree to methods of allocating remediation costs. In these circumstances, Occidental evaluates the financial viability of other parties with whom it is alleged to be jointly liable, the degree of their commitment to participate and the consequences to Occidental of their failure to participate when estimating Occidental’s ultimate share of liability. Occidental records its environmental remediation liabilities at its expected net cost of remedial activities and, based on these factors, believes that it will not be required to assume a share of liability of such other potentially responsible parties in an amount materially above amounts reserved.
In addition to the costs of investigations and cleanup measures, which often take in excess of 10 years at CERCLA NPL sites, Occidental’s environmental remediation liabilities include management’s estimates of the costs to operate and maintain remedial systems. If remedial systems are modified over time in response to significant changes in site-specific data, laws, regulations, technologies or engineering estimates, Occidental reviews and adjusts its environmental remediation liabilities accordingly.
ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS
Occidental recognizes the fair value of AROs in the period in which a determination is made that a legal obligation exists to dismantle an asset and reclaim or remediate the property at the end of its useful life and the cost of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. The liability amounts are based on future retirement cost estimates and incorporate many assumptions such as time to abandonment, future inflation rates and the risk-adjusted discount rate. When the liability is initially recorded, Occidental capitalizes the cost by increasing the related PP&E balances. If the estimated future cost of the AROs changes, Occidental records an adjustment to both the AROs and PP&E. Over time, the liability is increased, expense is recognized for accretion and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the asset.
The majority of Occidental’s AROs relate to the plugging of wells and the related abandonment of oil and gas properties.
At a certain number of its facilities, Occidental has identified conditional AROs that are related mainly to plant decommissioning. Occidental does not know or cannot estimate when it may settle these obligations. Therefore, Occidental cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of these liabilities. Occidental will recognize these conditional AROs in the periods in which sufficient information becomes available to reasonably estimate their fair values.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. Occidental applies hedge accounting when transactions meet specified criteria for cash flow hedge treatment and management elects and documents such treatment. Otherwise, any fair value gains or losses are recognized in earnings in the current period. For cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the effective portion of the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (OCI) with an offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the item being hedged. Realized gains or losses from cash flow hedges, and any ineffective portion, are recorded as a component of net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Ineffectiveness is primarily created by a lack of correlation between the hedged item and the hedging instrument due to location, quality, grade or changes in the expected quantity of the hedged item. Gains and losses from derivative instruments are reported net in the consolidated statements of operations. There were no fair value hedges as of and during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.
STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS
Occidental has established a stockholder-approved 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, for certain employees and directors (the Plan) that is more fully described in Note 15 - Stock-Based Incentive Plans. A summary of Occidental’s accounting policy for awards issued under the Plan is as follows.
For cash- and stock-settled restricted stock units (RSU) and cash return on capital employed incentive (CROCEI) awards, compensation value is initially measured on the grant date using the quoted market price of Occidental’s common stock and the estimated payout on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black Scholes model. For total shareholder return incentive (TSRI) awards, compensation value is initially measured on the grant date using the fair value derived from a Monte Carlo valuation model. Compensation expense for all awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally over the awards’ respective vesting or performance periods. The stock-settled awards are expensed using the initially measured compensation value. The liability resulting from cash settled awards and accrued dividends are remeasured at each reporting period. Dividends accrued on unvested awards are adjusted quarterly for any changes in the number of share equivalents expected to be paid based on the relevant performance and market criteria, if applicable.
There are no outstanding awards under Occidental’s 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan following the expiration of the non-qualified stock options granted in 2015 on February 11, 2022.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Occidental’s instruments containing rights to nonforfeitable dividends granted in stock-based awards are considered participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, have been deducted from earnings in computing basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class method.
Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock, net of income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including vested but unissued shares and share units. The computation of diluted EPS reflects the additional dilutive effect of stock options, warrants and unvested stock awards.
RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
Occidental recognizes the overfunded or underfunded amounts of its defined benefit pension and postretirement plans, which are more fully described in Note 11 - Retirement and Postretirement Benefit Plans, in its financial statements using a December 31 measurement date.
Occidental’s defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations are actuarially determined based on various assumptions and discount rates. The discount rate assumptions used are meant to reflect the interest rate at which the obligations could effectively be settled on the measurement date. Occidental estimates the rate of return on assets with
| 74 | OXY 2021 FORM 10-K |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
regard to current market factors but within the context of historical returns. Occidental funds and expenses negotiated pension increases for domestic union employees over the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreements.
Pension and any postretirement plan assets are measured at fair value. Common stock, preferred stock, publicly registered mutual funds, U.S. government securities and corporate bonds are valued using quoted market prices in active markets when available. When quoted market prices are not available, these investments are valued using pricing models with observable inputs from both active and non-active markets. Common and collective trusts are valued at the fund units’ net asset value (NAV) provided by the issuer, which represents the quoted price in a non-active market. Short-term investment funds are valued at the fund units’ NAV provided by the issuer.

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 as of December 31, 2021, included investments in government money market funds in which the carrying value approximates fair value.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
The functional currency applicable to all of Occidental’s international oil and gas operations is the U.S. dollar since cash flows are denominated principally in U.S. dollars. In Occidental’s other operations, Occidental’s use of non-United States dollar functional currencies was not material for all years presented. The effect of exchange rates on transactions in foreign currencies is included in periodic income. Occidental reports the exchange rate differences arising from translating foreign-currency-denominated balance sheet accounts to the United States dollar as of the reporting date in OCI. Exchange-rate gains and losses for continuing operations were not material for all years presented.
INCOME TAXES
Occidental files various U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns. The impact of changes in tax regulations are reflected when enacted. In general, deferred federal, state and foreign income taxes are provided on temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Occidental routinely assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets. If Occidental concludes that it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, the tax asset is reduced by a valuation allowance. Occidental recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recorded is equal to the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized through final settlement with a taxing authority. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense (benefit). See Note 10 - Income Taxes for more information.
LOSS CONTINGENCIES
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
| OXY 2021 FORM 10-K | 75 |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries also are involved in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and international environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, punitive damages, civil penalties and injunctive relief. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and have to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies. Further, some lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings involve acquired or disposed assets with respect to which a third party or Occidental retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Occidental accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated. In Note 12 - Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures, Occidental has disclosed its reserve balances for environmental remediation matters that satisfy this criteria. See Note 13 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE CHANGES
There were no significant accounting or disclosure changes for the periods in the three years ended December 31, 2021.

| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
| NOTE 2 - REVENUE |
Revenue from customers is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied; this generally occurs with the delivery of oil, NGL, gas, chemicals or services such as transportation. Revenue from customers is measured as the amount of consideration Occidental expects to receive in exchange for the delivery of goods or services. Contracts may last from one month to one year or more and may have renewal terms that extend indefinitely at the option of either party. Price is typically based on market indexes. Volumes fluctuate due to production and, in certain cases, customer demand and transportation availability. Occidental records revenue net of certain taxes, such as sales taxes, that are assessed by governmental authorities on Occidental’s customers.
Occidental does not incur significant costs to obtain contracts. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expenses. Sales of hydrocarbons and chemicals to customers are invoiced and settled on a monthly basis. Occidental is not usually subject to obligations for warranties, rebates, returns or refunds except in the case of customer incentive payments as discussed for the chemical segment below. Occidental does not typically receive payment in advance of satisfying its obligations under the terms of its sales contracts with customers; therefore, liabilities related to such payment are immaterial to Occidental. Occidental 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.
OIL AND GAS SEGMENT
Revenue from oil and gas production is recognized when production is delivered and control passes to the customer. Revenues from the production of oil and gas properties in which Occidental has an interest with other producers are recognized on the basis of Occidental’s net revenue interest.
CHEMICAL SEGMENT
Revenue from chemical product sales is recognized when control passes to the customer. Certain incentive programs may provide for payments or credits to be made to customers based on the volume of product purchased over a defined period. Customer incentives are estimated and recorded as a reduction to revenue ratably over the contract period. Such estimates are evaluated and revised as warranted. Revenue from exchange contracts is excluded from revenue from customers.
MIDSTREAM AND MARKETING SEGMENT
Revenue from pipeline and gas processing is recognized upon the completion of the transportation or processing service. Revenue from power sales is recognized upon delivery. Net marketing revenue is recognized upon completion of contract terms that are a prerequisite to payment and upon title transfer for physical deliveries. Unless the normal purchases and sales exception has been elected, net marketing revenue is classified as a derivative, reported on a net basis, recorded at fair value. Changes in fair value are reflected in net sales and excluded from revenue from customers in the table below.

(a) In December 2021, Occidental sold 2.5 million limited partner units of WES for proceeds of approximately $50 million. In March 2021, Occidental sold 11.5 million limited partner units for proceeds of approximately $200 million, resulting in a gain of $102 million. In the first quarter of 2020, Occidental recorded an impairment of $1.2 billion in goodwill related to its ownership in WES and in the third quarter of 2020, recorded an other than temporary impairment of $2.7 billion related to the WES equity method investment. See Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements for more information on the impairments.
(b) Not presented in investments in unconsolidated entities is Occidental’s 24.5% ownership in DEL, which has a carrying value of $217 million. Refer to the discussion below regarding the presentation of Occidental’s equity investment in DEL.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Occidental’s significant equity investments consisted of investments in WES, OxyChem Ingleside Facility and DEL.
In November 2021, Occidental received approximately $560 million in cash distributions as a result of a refinancing transaction at DEL. The cash distributions received from the refinancing transaction were comprised of $110 million in dividends and $450 million in excess distributions. As Occidental may be requested to provide financial support to DEL, the excess distributions were recorded against the $217 million carrying amount of the equity investment. The net of the carrying value of the investment in DEL and the excess distributions was $233 million and is presented in deferred credits and other liabilities - other. Occidental recorded the $110 million in dividends as a return on investment in cash flow from operations and the $450 million excess distribution as a return of investment in cash flow from investing.
As part of the Acquisition, Occidental acquired equity investments in certain oil and gas properties and gathering and processing assets and assumed an associated notes payable which Occidental has the legal right of setoff and intends to net settle with its ownership interest in the equity investments. The notes payable can be net settled starting in 2022. The carrying value of the investment and note payable were $2.9 billion as of December 31, 2021, respectively. Accordingly, the equity investments and the related notes payable are presented net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Dividends received from equity investments were $652 million, $678 million and $422 million to Occidental in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, cumulative undistributed earnings of equity-method investees since they were acquired was $242 million and $166 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, Occidental’s

ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
2021
In November 2021, Occidental entered into an agreement to sell certain non-strategic assets in the Permian Basin. The transaction closed in January 2022 for net cash proceeds of approximately $190 million. The assets and liabilities, of which $72 million is related to PP&E, net and $7 million is related to AROs, were presented as held for sale as of December 31, 2021.
In November 2021, Occidental acquired additional working interests in certain assets in the Permian EOR business unit for a net purchase price of approximately $285 million.
In October 2021, Occidental closed the sale of its Ghana assets. See below discussion on Discontinued Operations for additional information. This divestiture completed Occidental's large-scale asset divestiture program.
In June 2021, Occidental entered into an agreement to sell certain non-strategic assets in the Permian Basin. The transaction closed in July 2021 for net cash proceeds of approximately $475 million. The difference in the assets' net book value and adjusted purchase price was treated as a recovery of cost and normal retirement, which resulted in no gain or loss being recognized.
In March 2021, Occidental completed the sale of certain non-operated assets in the DJ Basin for net cash proceeds of approximately $280 million. The difference in the assets' net book value and adjusted purchase price was treated as a recovery of cost and normal retirement, which resulted in no gain or loss being recognized.
In 2021, Occidental sold 14 million limited partner units of WES for proceeds of approximately $250 million, see Note 4 - Investments and Related-Party Transactions.
2020
In November 2020 and December 2020, Occidental divested of certain non-core, largely non-operated proved and unproved acreage in the Permian for a loss of approximately $820 million. The losses have been presented within gains (losses) on sale of assets, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In October 2020, Occidental entered into an agreement to sell its onshore oil and gas Colombia assets. The transaction closed in December 2020, and Occidental recorded a loss on sale of approximately $353 million. The loss has been presented within gains (losses) on sale of assets, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In August 2020, Occidental entered into an agreement to sell approximately 4.5 million mineral acres and 1 million fee surface acres located in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah for approximately $1.33 billion. The transaction closed in October 2020 for net cash proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion, after satisfying $329 million of liabilities associated with the sale of future royalties. Occidental recorded a loss on sale of $440 million. The loss has been presented within gains (losses) on sale of assets, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
2019
In December 2019, Occidental disposed of real estate assets for $565 million. Occidental utilized net proceeds to pay down a portion of the Term Loans. Concurrent with the sale, Occidental entered a 13-year lease for part of the real estate assets. Based on the terms of the lease, Occidental treated this as a failed sale-leaseback, retained the related book value in PP&E and recognized a finance lease of approximately $300 million based on the discounted future minimum lease payments.
In November 2019, Occidental and Ecopetrol closed on the joint venture to develop approximately 97,000 net acres of Occidental’s Midland Basin unproved properties in the Permian Basin. Ecopetrol paid $750 million in cash at closing and up to $750 million of carried capital in exchange for a 49% interest in the new venture. Occidental recognized a gain of $563 million on the sale. Following the close, Occidental owned a 51% interest and operates the joint venture. During the carry period, Ecopetrol will pay 75% 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.
In September 2019, Occidental sold its remaining equity investment in Plains for net proceeds of $646 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $114 million. The proceeds were used to pay down a portion of the Term Loans.
In August 2019, the Acquisition was consummated. The Acquisition added to Occidental’s oil and gas portfolio, primarily in the Permian Basin, DJ Basin and Gulf of Mexico and Algeria and a general and limited partner interest in WES. Total consideration of the Acquisition was approximately $35.7 billion in cash and common stock. See Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity for additional information.
From the date of the Acquisition through December 31, 2019, revenues and the net loss attributable to common stockholders associated with the operations acquired through the Acquisition totaled $4.2 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, which included a charge as a result of recording Occidental’s investment in WES at fair value as of December 31, 2019 upon the loss of control.

Employee severance and related employee cost primarily related 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 Acquisition Agreement and existing change of control provisions within the former Anadarko employment agreements. In addition, this category included expenses for a voluntary separation program for eligible employees and retention awards for certain employees.
The IT costs primarily related to Occidental’s efforts to integrate the Anadarko finance, supply chain, asset integrity, and well life cycle systems.
The seismic licensing fees related 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 required a transfer fee in order for Occidental to use the data.
The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of Occidental for the year ended December 31, 2019 as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018:

| Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share—basic | $ | (0.95) | |||
| Net loss attributable to common stockholders per share—diluted | $ | (0.95) | |||
(a)Excluding the pro-forma results of WES, net loss attributable to common stockholders would be $(1.1) billion for the year ended December 31, 2019.
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 Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2018, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results of the combined entity. The unaudited pro forma information for 2019 is a result of combining the statements of operations of Occidental with the pre-Acquisition results from January 1, 2019 of Anadarko and included adjustments for revenues and direct expenses. The pro forma results exclude results from any assets classified as held for sale, any cost savings anticipated as a result of the Acquisition and the impact of any Acquisition-related costs. The pro forma results include adjustments to DD&A based on the purchase price allocated to PP&E 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 Acquisition are properly reflected.

(a) Occidental entered into an exchange agreement, dated as of October 20, 2021, among Occidental and certain holders of its subsidiary Anadarko’s 7.250% debentures due 2096, its subsidiary Anadarko Holding Company’s 7.500% debentures due 2096 and its subsidiary Anadarko’s 7.730% debentures due 2096 (such notes, the 2096 Notes), pursuant to which Occidental issued approximately $57.2 million of 6.600% senior notes due 2046 as additional securities under the Indenture, dated as of August 8, 2019, between Occidental and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the 2019 Indenture), in exchange for the cancellation of approximately $64.8 million of the 2096 notes. The additional securities have identical terms and conditions as Occidental’s previously issued 6.600% senior notes due 2046 (the Initial Securities), other than the issue date and the date from which interest will accrue, are restricted securities with a related legend and initially have a different CUSIP number and ISIN number from the Initial Securities and for all purposes are treated as a single class with the outstanding Initial Securities under the 2019 Indenture.
DEBT MATURITIES
As of December 31, 2021, future principal payments on debt were approximately $28.5 billion, of which, $101 million is due in 2022, $465 million is due in 2023, $1.7 billion is due in 2024, $2.5 billion is due in 2025, and $23.7 billion is due in 2026 and thereafter.
In January 2022, Occidental used cash on hand to repay $101 million in outstanding 2.600% senior notes due April 2022 at face value. Subsequent to the purchase and retirement of this note, Occidental’s face value of debt was $28.4 billion with no maturities in 2022.

| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
In the fourth quarter of 2021, Occidental used cash on hand to complete a $1.6 billion cash tender offer for outstanding senior notes with a face value of $1.5 billion and maturities ranging from 2024 through 2049. Also in December 2021, Occidental used cash on hand to retire $627 million of senior notes due 2022.
In the third quarter of 2021, Occidental completed a cash tender for outstanding senior notes with a face value of $3.0 billion and maturities ranging from 2022 through 2026, paid $224 million of senior notes upon maturity and fully retired $1.1 billion of floating interest rate notes due August 2022.
In the first quarter of 2021, Occidental repaid $174 million of debt upon maturity. No debt matured or was otherwise paid during the second quarter of 2021.
In July, August, and December, 2020, Occidental issued $7.0 billion in senior unsecured notes, in aggregate, with maturities ranging from 2025 to 2031 and used the net proceeds to tender $3.5 billion of 2021, $2.7 billion of 2022 and $264 million of 2023 maturities. In addition, Occidental used proceeds from the sale of mineral and surface acres located in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah; the Colombian asset sale and proceeds from other divestitures and cash on hand to repay $2.5 billion of 2021 and $2 million of 2036 maturities.
In August 2020, Occidental exchanged approximately 27.9 million WES common units to retire a $260 million note payable to WES, resulting in a net loss of $46 million, which included a $76 million gain on debt extinguished associated with an unamortized premium on the note payable to WES. This net loss on exchange has been presented in (losses) gains on sale of assets, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY
In December 2021, Occidental entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement on its existing $5.0 billion RCF in which the total commitment was decreased to $4.0 billion and the LIBOR benchmark was changed to SOFR. In addition, the interest rate margin and the facility fee rates were amended to be subject to adjustments based on Occidental’s performance on specified sustainability target thresholds with respect to absolute reductions in GHG emissions from its worldwide operated assets. The RCF maturity date was extended to June 30, 2025.
Borrowings under the RCF bear interest at SOFR benchmark rates, plus a margin based on Occidental’s senior debt ratings. The facility has similar terms to other debt agreements and does not contain material adverse change clauses or debt ratings triggers that could restrict Occidental’s ability to borrow, or that would permit lenders to terminate their commitments or accelerate debt repayment. The facility provides for the termination of loan commitments and requires immediate repayment of any outstanding amounts if certain events of default occur. As of the date of this filing, Occidental has no drawn amounts under the RCF. In 2021, Occidental paid average annual facility fees of 0.302% on the total commitment amount.
RECEIVABLES SECURITIZATION FACILITY
In December 2021, Occidental amended and extended its existing receivables securitization facility to December 2024. As of December 31, 2021, the facility had $400 million of available borrowing capacity and no drawn amounts. The amended facility includes adjustments based on the same specified sustainability target thresholds as contained in the RCF.
ZERO COUPONS
The Zero Coupons have an aggregate principal amount due at the 2036 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. The Zero Coupons can next be put to Occidental in October 2022, which, if put in whole, would be $1.1 billion at such date. Occidental has the ability and intent to refinance these obligations under the RCF or other committed facilities.
FAIR VALUE OF DEBT
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 values of Occidental’s debt as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the majority of which were classified as Level 1, were approximately $31.1 billion and $33.8 billion, respectively. Occidental’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to its variable-rate, long-term debt obligations, and is not material. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, variable-rate debt constituted approximately 0.2% and 3% of Occidental’s total debt, respectively.

| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
DEBT RATINGS
As of the date of this filing, Occidental’s long-term debt was rated BB+ by Fitch Ratings, Ba2 by Moody’s Investors Service and BB+ by Standard and Poor’s. In January 2022, Standard and Poor’s upgraded Occidental’s credit rating to BB+. Any downgrade in credit ratings could impact Occidental's ability to access capital markets and increase its cost of capital. In addition, given that Occidental’s current debt ratings are non-investment grade, Occidental may be requested, and in some cases required, to provide collateral in the form of cash, letters of credit, surety bonds or other acceptable support as financial assurance of its performance and payment obligations under certain contractual arrangements such as pipeline transportation contracts, environmental remediation obligations, oil and gas purchase contracts and certain derivative instruments.
As of the date of this filing, Occidental has provided required financial assurances through a combination of cash, letters of credit and surety bonds and has not issued any letters of credit under the RCF or other committed facilities. For additional information, see Risk Factors in Part I, Item IA of this Form 10-K.
| NOTE 7 - LEASE COMMITMENTS |
Occidental identifies leases through its accounts payable and contract monitoring processes. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease assets include the lease liability, upfront payments and costs incurred to execute the lease and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Occidental assesses the likelihood of exercising renewal, termination and purchase options to determine the lease term. Occidental uses its incremental borrowing rate at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that Occidental would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term on a collateralized basis in a similar economic environment. Certain leases include variable lease payments based on the underlying asset’s operations that are not included in the lease asset and liability.
Occidental has operating leases for oil and gas exploration and development equipment, including offshore and onshore drilling rigs of $32 million, compressors of $62 million, storage facilities of $52 million, office space of $386 million and other field equipment of $32 million. Operating lease terms generally range from one to eight years. Operating leases also include pipelines, rail cars, easements, aircraft and real estate of $207 million. These operating leases have contract expiration terms ranging from one to 10 years.
Occidental’s finance leases include a gas treating and processing plant, oil and gas exploration and development equipment, compressors, real estate offices and field equipment of approximately $589 million.

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, interest rate risks and transportation commitments and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are purchased or sold to a customer. Occidental occasionally applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecasted sales of its natural gas storage volumes, and at times for other strategies, such as to lock in rates on debt issuances. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. See Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for Occidental’s accounting policy on derivatives.
| 90 | OXY 2021 FORM 10-K |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
As of December 31, 2021, Occidental’s derivatives not designated as hedges consist of interest rate swaps and marketing derivatives. Occidental’s previously outstanding Brent-priced call options and natural gas two-way collar derivative instruments expired on or before December 31, 2021.
Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value will impact Occidental’s earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled. The fair value does not reflect the realized or cash value of the instrument.
COLLARS AND OIL CALL OPTIONS
In September 2020, Occidental entered into natural gas two-way collar derivative instruments for 2021 to manage its near-term exposure to cash flow variability from natural gas price risk. A two-way collar is a combination of two options: a sold call and a purchased put. The sold call establishes the ceiling price that Occidental will receive for the contracted commodity volume for a defined period of time. The purchased put establishes the floor price that Occidental will receive for the contracted volumes. Net gains and losses associated with puts and calls are recognized currently in net sales. Occidental did not have any puts or calls outstanding as of December 31, 2021. In 2021, Occidental paid $152 million to settle its gas puts and calls.
In 2019, Occidental entered into 2020 Brent-priced 3-way collars combined with 2021 call options on the same volume to manage its near-term exposure to cash flow variability from oil price risks in 2020. The 2021 call options were sold to enhance the upside retention in 2020. In 2020, collars settled with the receipt of cash of $960 million. In 2021, Occidental paid $146 million to settle oil calls.
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
Occidental's interest rate swap contracts lock in a fixed interest rate in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month LIBOR throughout the reference period. Net gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps are recognized currently in gains (losses) on interest rate swaps and warrants, net.
Occidental had the following outstanding interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2021:
| millions except percentages | Mandatory | Weighted-Average | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Notional Principal Amount | Reference Period | Termination Date | Interest Rate | ||||||||||||||||||||
| $ | 275 | September 2016 - 2046 | September 2022 | 6.709 | % | ||||||||||||||||||
| $ | 450 | September 2017 - 2047 | September 2023 | 6.445 | % | ||||||||||||||||||
Depending on market conditions, liability management actions or other factors, Occidental may enter into offsetting interest rate swap positions as well as amend or settle certain or all of the currently outstanding interest rate swaps.
Derivative 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. Net cash payments related to settlements were $885 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, which included $815 million paid to settle interest rate swaps with notional principal amounts of $400 million and $350 million and weighted average interest rates of 6.348% and 6.662%, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, $51 million of collateral was returned. As of December 31, 2021, $323 million of collateral related to interest rate swaps had been netted against derivative liabilities.
MARKETING DERIVATIVES
Occidental’s marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedges are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. Marketing derivative instruments do not include the put and call options discussed above. A substantial majority of Occidental’s physically settled derivative contracts are index-based and carry no mark-to-market valuation in earnings. As of December 31, 2021, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was $74.85/Bbl and $4.61/Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was $46.05/Bbl and $2.58/Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, 2020. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in net sales.

THE BERKSHIRE WARRANTS
Warrants for 80 million shares of Occidental stock, with an initial exercise price of $62.50, were issued in connection with the financing of the Acquisition (the Berkshire Warrants). The Berkshire Warrants are 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 time the Berkshire Warrants expire. The holders of the Berkshire Warrants could have required net cash settlement if certain shareholder and regulatory approvals to issue shares of Occidental’s common stock underlying the Berkshire Warrants were not obtained. Prior to these approvals, the fair value of the Berkshire Warrants was remeasured each reporting date with gains and losses being recorded on the income statement.
At Occidental’s May 29, 2020, annual shareholders meeting, all remaining approvals were obtained and the Berkshire Warrants can no longer be cash settled. Upon these approvals, the fair value of the Berkshire Warrants was remeasured on May 29, 2020, using the Black-Scholes option model. The reclassification from liabilities to “Additional paid-in capital” was $103 million.
The following inputs were used in the Black-Scholes option model: the expected life of the Berkshire Warrants, a volatility factor and the exercise price. The expected life is based on the estimated term of the Berkshire Warrants, the volatility factor is based on historical volatilities of Occidental common stock and the initial exercise price of $62.50.
The Berkshire Warrants contain an anti-dilution provision that adjusts the exercise price and the number of shares of Occidental’s common stock issuable on exercise upon the occurrence of certain distributions to common shareholders. On June 26, 2020, Occidental’s Board of Directors declared a distribution to its common shareholders of warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock, See Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity. This distribution to common shareholders resulted in an anti-dilution adjustment to the Berkshire Warrants, which lowered its exercise price to $59.624 and increased the number of shares of Occidental’s common stock issuable on exercise of the Berkshire Warrants by approximately 3.9 million shares.
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, primarily interest expense on debt issued to partially finance the Acquisition, are recognized in earnings. The value of cash flow hedges was insignificant as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES
Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a three-level fair value hierarchy, based on the inputs to the valuation techniques: Level 1 – using quoted prices in active markets for the assets or liabilities; Level 2 – using observable inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities; and Level 3 – using unobservable inputs. Transfers between levels, if any, are reported at the end of each reporting period. The following table presents the fair values of Occidental’s outstanding derivatives. Fair values are presented at gross amounts below, including when derivatives are subject to netting arrangements, and are presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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
| OXY 2021 FORM 10-K | 93 |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
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 futures contracts through regulated exchanges with select clearinghouses and brokers, which are subject to minimal credit risk, if any.
Certain of Occidental’s OTC derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each party would need to post. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-contingent features for which a net liability position existed as of December 31, 2021 was $107 million (net of $323 million collateral), which was primarily related to interest rate swaps. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-contingent features for which a net liability position existed as of December 31, 2020 was $104 million (net of $374 million of collateral), which was primarily related to interest rate swaps.
| NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
FAIR VALUES – RECURRING
In January 2012, Occidental entered into a long-term contract to purchase CO2. This contract contained a price adjustment clause that was not clearly and closely related to the host contract and Occidental accounted for it at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. In December 2021, the price adjustment clause related to the contract expired and no longer is recognized at fair value.
FAIR VALUES – NONRECURRING
2021:
For the year ended December 31, 2021, Occidental recorded pre-tax impairments of $276 million related to undeveloped leases that either expired or were set to expire in the near-term, where Occidental had no plans to pursue exploration activities.
2020:
The table below summarizes the significant impairments and other charges incurred to measure assets to their fair value on a nonrecurring basis throughout the year ended December 31, 2020:

GOODWILL
In the first quarter of 2020, Occidental impaired $1.2 billion in goodwill related to Occidental’s ownership in WES, which was previously included in long-term receivables and other assets, net. The market value of WES’ publicly traded units is considered a Level 1 input.
OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
In the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the expected prolonged period of lower commodity prices brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on oil demand, Occidental tested substantially all of its oil and gas assets for impairment. Occidental recognized total pre-tax impairments to its oil and gas proved and unproved properties of $8.6 billion, of which $6.4 billion was included in oil and gas segment results and $2.2 billion ($1.4 billion net of tax) related to Ghana was included in discontinued operations.
In the second quarter of 2020, Occidental recorded proved property pre-tax impairments of $1.2 billion primarily related to certain assets for its domestic onshore and Gulf of Mexico assets and $0.9 billion to adjust the Algeria oil and gas proved properties to their fair value. The fair value of the proved properties was measured based on the income approach.
Unproved property pre-tax impairments of $4.3 billion were primarily related to domestic onshore unproved acreage. The fair value of this acreage was measured based on a market approach using an implied acreage valuation derived from domestic onshore market participants excluding the fair value assigned to proved properties.
| 94 | OXY 2021 FORM 10-K |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
Income approaches are considered Level 3 fair value estimates and include significant assumptions of future production and timing of production, commodity price assumptions and operating and capital cost estimates, discounted using a 10 percent weighted average cost of capital. Taxes were based on current statutory rates. Future production and timing of production is based on internal reserves estimates and internal economic models for a specific oil and gas asset. Internal reserve estimates consist of proved reserves and unproved reserves, the latter adjusted for uncertainty based on reserve category. Price assumptions were based on a combination of market information and published industry resources adjusted for historical differentials. Price assumptions ranged from approximately $40 per barrel of oil in 2020 increasing to approximately $70 per barrel of oil in 2034, with an unweighted arithmetic average price of $59.17 and $62.42 for WTI and Brent indexed assets for the 15 year period, respectively. Natural gas prices ranged from approximately $2.00 per Mcf in 2020 to approximately $3.60 per Mcf in 2034, with an unweighted arithmetic average price of $3.13 for NYMEX based assets for the 15 year period. Both oil and natural gas commodity prices were held flat after 2034 and were adjusted for location and quality differentials. Operating and capital cost estimates were based on current observable costs and were further escalated 1 percent in every period where commodity prices exceeded $50 per barrel and 2 percent in every period where commodity prices exceeded $60 per barrel. The weighted average cost of capital is calculated based on industry peers and best approximates the cost of capital an external market participant would expect to obtain.
In the first quarter of 2020, Occidental's oil and gas segment recognized pre-tax impairment and related charges of $581 million primarily related to both proved and unproved oil and gas properties and a lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment for crude inventory. Occidental recorded proved property impairments of $293 million related to certain international assets and the Gulf of Mexico. Occidental recorded unproved property impairments, of approximately $241 million, primarily related to domestic onshore undeveloped leases and offshore Gulf of Mexico where Occidental no longer intends to pursue exploration, appraisal or development activities primarily due to the reduction in near-term capital plans.
If there is an adverse downturn of the macroeconomic conditions and if such downturn is expected to or does persist for a prolonged period of time, Occidental’s oil and gas properties may be subject to further testing for impairment, which could result in additional non-cash asset impairments. Such impairments could be material to the financial statements.
WES EQUITY INVESTMENT
At the end of the third quarter of 2020, Occidental recorded an other-than-temporary impairment of $2.7 billion, as the fair value of Occidental’s investment in WES had remained significantly lower than its book value for the majority of the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Occidental concluded that the difference between the fair value and book value of WES was not temporary, primarily given both the magnitude and the duration that the fair value was below its book value. This other-than-temporary impairment was calculated based on the closing market price of WES as of September 30, 2020. The market value of WES’ publicly traded common units is considered a Level 1 input.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and other on-balance sheet financial instruments, other than fixed-rate debt, approximate fair value. See Note 6 - Long-Term Debt for the fair value of long-term debt.

| Worldwide effective tax rate | 25 | % | 14 | % | 243 | % |
In 2021, Occidental’s worldwide effective tax rate was 25%, which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due to higher tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which Occidental operates, partially offset by the tax impact of business credits, state tax revaluations and other domestic tax benefits.
| 96 | OXY 2021 FORM 10-K |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
In 2020, Occidental’s worldwide effective tax rate was 14%, which was largely a result of the impairment of the WES goodwill and certain international assets for which Occidental received no tax benefit and higher-taxed international operations which generally caused Occidental’s tax rate to vary significantly from the U.S. corporate tax rate.

Total deferred tax assets, after valuation allowances, were $3.5 billion and $4.3 billion as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Occidental expects to realize the recorded deferred tax assets, net of any allowances, through future operating income and reversal of temporary differences. The total deferred tax liabilities were $10.5 billion and $11.4 billion as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the net deferred tax liability in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily driven by the impact of lower capital spending and domestic asset impairments for which Occidental does not receive an immediate tax benefit, partially offset by the utilization of net operating losses and other tax attributes.
As of December 31, 2021, Occidental had foreign tax credit carryforwards of $3.9 billion, federal general business credits carryforwards of $659 million and state tax credit carryforwards of $39 million. Occidental has recorded a valuation allowance for $3.9 billion of the foreign tax credit carryforwards and $34 million of the state tax credit carryforwards.
As of December 31, 2021, Occidental had tax-effected federal net operating loss carryforwards of $511 million, foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $833 million and state net operating loss carryforwards of $284 million. The carryforward balances have varying carryforward periods through 2041, excluding certain attributes for which there is an indefinite carryforward period. A valuation allowance was recorded for $244 million of the tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards and $797 million of the tax-effected foreign net operating loss carryforwards. Occidental has an additional valuation allowance of $145 million against other foreign deferred tax assets.
Occidental had no tax-effected federal interest expense carryforward and tax-effected state interest expense carryforward of $28 million as of December 31, 2021. Occidental recorded a valuation allowance for $9 million of the state interest expense carryforward.
A deferred tax liability has not been recognized for temporary differences related to unremitted earnings of certain consolidated international subsidiaries aggregating approximately $916 million as of December 31, 2021, as it is Occidental’s intention to reinvest such earnings indefinitely. If the earnings of these international subsidiaries were not indefinitely reinvested, an additional deferred tax liability of approximately $219 million would be required.
As a result of a legal entity reorganization, management will make an adjustment to the tax basis in a portion of its operating assets, thus reducing Occidental’s deferred tax liabilities. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2022, Occidental will record a one-time non-cash tax benefit that is currently estimated not to exceed $2.6 billion, in connection with this
| OXY 2021 FORM 10-K | 97 |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
reorganization. The timing of any reduction in Occidental’s future cash taxes as a result of this legal entity reorganization will be dependent on a number of factors, including prevailing commodity prices, capital activity level and production mix. Occidental will complete its review of its tax basis calculations, fair value assessments and other information and will finalize the adjustment to its deferred tax liabilities during the first quarter of 2022.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

The December 31, 2021 balance of unrecognized tax benefits of $2.0 billion included potential benefits of $2.0 billion of which, if recognized, $1.6 billion would affect the effective tax rate on income. Also included were benefits of $60 million related to tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain, but the timing of such deductibility is uncertain. Occidental records estimated potential interest and penalties related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits in the provisions for domestic and foreign income taxes. During 2021, Occidental recorded interest related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $58 million, for a cumulative accrued interest related to liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits of $321 million as of December 31, 2021. There were no penalties associated with liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Over the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that there will not be a decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from settlements with taxing authorities or statute of limitations lapses.
Occidental recognized $105 million and $110 million in federal and state income tax receivables as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, which was recorded in other current assets. In addition, Occidental recognized $33 million and $24 million associated with audits as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, both of which were recorded in long-term receivables and other assets, net.
Occidental is subject to audit by various tax authorities in varying periods. See Note 13 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies for a discussion of these matters.
| NOTE 11 - RETIREMENT AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS |
Occidental has various defined contribution and defined benefit plans for its salaried, domestic union and nonunion hourly and certain foreign national employees. In addition, Occidental also provides medical and other benefits for certain active, retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents.
Effective as of June 30, 2020 the defined benefit pension plans and certain of the supplemental plans covering active Anadarko employees were frozen. This resulted in a decrease to the benefit obligation of approximately $278 million, including a curtailment gain of approximately $124 million and a corresponding offset to accumulated OCI of approximately $154 million.
In 2021, Occidental settled a significant portion of retiree liability through an annuity purchase. This annuity purchase applied to participants in certain defined benefit plans. The impact of this settlement transaction was approximately $109 million and is reflected in the December 31, 2021 projected benefit obligation.
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS
All domestic employees and certain foreign national employees are eligible to participate in one or more of the defined contribution retirement or savings plans that provide for periodic contributions by Occidental based on plan-specific criteria, such as base pay, level and employee contributions. Certain salaried employees participate in a supplemental retirement plan that restores benefits lost due to governmental limitations on qualified retirement benefits. The accrued liabilities for the supplemental retirement plan were $249 million and $239 million as of December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Occidental expensed $166 million in 2021, $192 million in 2020 and $192 million in 2019 under the provisions of these defined contribution and supplemental retirement plans.

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS
Participation in defined benefit plans is limited. Approximately 400 domestic and 300 foreign national employees, mainly union, nonunion hourly and certain employees that joined Occidental from acquired operations with grandfathered benefits, are currently accruing benefits under these plans.
Pension costs for Occidental’s defined benefit pension plans, determined by independent actuarial valuations, are generally funded by payments to trust funds, which are administered by independent trustees.
POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
Occidental provides medical and dental benefits and life insurance coverage for certain active, retired and disabled employees and their eligible dependents. Occidental generally funds the benefits as they are paid during the year. These benefit costs, including the postretirement costs for the years ended December 31, were $211 million in 2021, $235 million in 2020 and $220 million in 2019.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The following table sets forth the weighted-average assumptions used to determine Occidental’s benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost for domestic plans for the years ended December 31:

| Assumed long-term rate of return on assets | 4.92 | % | 6.02 | % | — | — |
For domestic pension plans and postretirement benefit plans, Occidental based the discount rate on a AA-AAA Universe yield curve in 2021 and 2020. The assumed long-term rate of return on assets is estimated with regard to current market factors but within the context of historical returns for the asset mix that exists at year end. Assumed rates of compensation increases for active participants in certain plans and vary by age group.
In 2020, Occidental adopted the Society of Actuaries Pri-2012 Private Retirement Plans Mortality Tables with MP-2020 Mortality Improvement Scale, which updated the mortality assumptions that private defined-benefit plans in the United States use in the actuarial valuations that determine a plan sponsor’s pension obligations. The new mortality assumption reflects additional data that the Social Security Administration has released since the previous mortality tables and improvement scales were released.
The postretirement benefit obligation was determined by application of the terms of medical and dental benefits and life insurance coverage, including the effect of established maximums on covered costs, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates. Health care cost trend rates for Medicare advantaged prescription drug (MAPD) plans of 9.6% starting in 2021, then grading down to 4.5% in 2028 and beyond. Health care cost trend rates used for non-MAPD plans are 6.3% to 6.8% in 2021, then grading down to 4.5% in 2028 and beyond.
The actuarial assumptions used could change in the near-term as a result of changes in expected future trends and other factors that, depending on the nature of the changes, could cause increases or decreases in the plan assets and liabilities.

FAIR VALUE OF PENSION PLAN ASSETS
Qualified defined benefit plan assets are monitored by Occidental’s Pension and Retirement Trust and Investment Committee in its role as a fiduciary. The Investment Committee selects and employs various external professional investment management firms to manage specific investments across the spectrum of asset classes. The Investment Committee employs a liability driven investment approach that uses a diversified blend of investments (equity securities, fixed-income securities, and alternative investments) along a glide path to optimize the long-term return of plan assets relative to plan liabilities, at a prudent level of risk. Equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as differing styles and market capitalizations. Investment performance is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio and manager guideline compliance reviews, annual liability measurements and periodic studies.

| 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 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
As of December 31, 2021, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 165 sites. The following table presents Occidental’s current and non-current environmental remediation liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($155 million in 2021 and $123 million in 2020) and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities - environmental remediation liabilities ($0.9 billion in 2021 and $1.0 billion in 2020).
Occidental’s environmental remediation sites are grouped into four categories: NPL sites listed or proposed for listing by the EPA on the CERCLA NPL and three categories of non-NPL sites — third-party sites, Occidental-operated sites and closed or non-operated Occidental sites.

| Total | 165 | $ | 1,099 | 170 | $ | 1,151 |
As of December 31, 2021, Occidental’s environmental liabilities exceeded $10 million each at 20 of the 165 sites described above, and 96 of the sites had liabilities from $0 to $1 million each. As of December 31, 2021, two sites — the Maxus-indemnified Diamond Alkali Superfund Site and a landfill in Western New York — accounted for 96% of its liabilities associated with NPL sites. 14 of the 30 NPL sites are indemnified by Maxus.
Five of the 69 third-party sites — a Maxus-indemnified chrome site in New Jersey, a former copper mining and smelting operation in Tennessee, a former oil field and a landfill in California and an active refinery in Louisiana where Occidental reimburses the current owner for certain remediation activities — accounted for 75% of Occidental’s liabilities associated with these sites. Nine of the 69 third-party sites are indemnified by Maxus.
Four sites — oil and gas operations in Colorado and chemical plants in Kansas, Louisiana and Texas — accounted for 69% of the liabilities associated with the Occidental-operated sites. Ten other sites — a landfill in Western New York, a former refinery in Oklahoma, former chemical plants in California, Delaware, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Tennessee and
| OXY 2021 FORM 10-K | 103 |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
Washington, and a closed coal mine in Pennsylvania — accounted for 75% of the liabilities associated with closed or non-operated Occidental sites.
Environmental remediation liabilities vary over time depending on factors such as acquisitions or divestitures, identification of additional sites and remedy selection and implementation. Occidental recorded environmental remediation expenses of $28 million, $36 million and $112 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Environmental remediation expenses primarily relate to changes to existing conditions from past operations. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately 40% of the year-end remediation balance over the next three to four years with the remainder over the subsequent 10 or more years. Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those amounts currently recorded for environmental remediation for all of its environmental sites could be up to $1.3 billion.
MAXUS ENVIRONMENTAL SITES
When Occidental acquired DSCC in 1986, Maxus 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 June 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 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 nine 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 AOC to complete the design of the proposed clean-up plan outlined in the ROD with 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 and 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 and the ROD, or to perform other remediation activities at the Site.
In September 2021, the EPA issued a ROD with an estimated cost of $441 million for an interim remedy plan for the upper nine miles of the Lower Passaic River. At this time, Occidental’s role or responsibilities under this ROD, and those of other potentially responsible parties, have not been determined with the EPA. Discussions between Occidental and the EPA are ongoing about this ROD.
In June 2017, the court overseeing the Maxus bankruptcy approved a Plan to liquidate Maxus and create a trust to pursue claims against current and former parents YPF and Repsol, as well as 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. The trust is pursuing claims against YPF, Repsol and others and is expected to 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. During 2019, the bankruptcy court denied Repsol's and YPF's motions to dismiss the complaint as well as their motions to move the case away from the bankruptcy court. Discovery remains ongoing.

LEGAL MATTERS
Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries are involved, in the normal course of business, in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries also are involved in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and international 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. Reserves for

| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
matters, other than for environmental remediation and the arbitration award disclosed below, that satisfy this criteria as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, were not material to Occidental’s Consolidated 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% of the value of Block 15. In 2017, Andes filed a demand for arbitration, claiming it is entitled to a 40% 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% economic interest in the block. On March 26, 2021, the arbitration tribunal issued an award in favor of Andes and against OEPC in the amount of $391 million plus interest. In June 2021, OEPC filed a motion to vacate the award due to concerns regarding the validity of the award. In addition, OEPC has made a demand for significant additional claims not addressed by the arbitration tribunal that OEPC has against Andes relating to Andes' 40% share of costs, liabilities, losses and expenses due under the farmout agreement and joint operating agreement to which Andes and OEPC are parties. In December 2021, the U.S. District Court Southern District of New York confirmed the arbitration award, plus prejudgment interest, in the aggregate amount of $558 million. OEPC has appealed the judgement.
In August 2019, Sanchez filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Sanchez is a party to agreements with Anadarko as a result of its 2017 purchase of Anadarko's Eagle Ford Shale assets. Sanchez attempted to reject some of the agreements related to the Bankruptcy Litigation. If Sanchez was permitted to reject certain of those agreements, then Anadarko may owe deficiency payments to various third parties. In December 2021, Occidental and certain of its affiliates entered into an agreement to resolve the Bankruptcy Litigation. Occidental recorded a contingency reserve as of September 30, 2021, associated with the settlement.
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 international tax jurisdictions. Tax years through 2017 for U.S. federal income tax purposes have been audited by the IRS pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program and subsequent taxable years are currently under review. Tax years through 2012 have been audited for state income tax purposes. Significant audit matters in international jurisdictions have been resolved through 2010. During the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.
For Anadarko, its taxable years through 2014 and tax year 2016 for U.S. federal tax purposes have been audited by the IRS. Tax years through 2008 have been audited for state income tax purposes. There is one outstanding significant tax matter in an international jurisdiction related to a discontinued operation. As stated above, during the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.
Other than the matter discussed below, Occidental believes that the resolution of these outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Anadarko received an $881 million tentative refund in 2016 related to its $5.2 billion Tronox Adversary Proceeding settlement payment in 2015. In September 2018, Anadarko received a statutory notice of deficiency from the IRS disallowing the net operating loss carryback and rejecting Anadarko’s refund claim. As a result, Anadarko filed a petition with the U.S. Tax Court to dispute the disallowances in November 2018. The case was in the IRS appeals process until the second quarter of 2020, however it has since been returned to the U.S. Tax Court, where a trial date has been set for July 2022 and Occidental expects to continue pursuing resolution.
In accordance with ASC 740’s guidance on the accounting for uncertain tax positions, Occidental has recorded no tax benefit on the tentative cash tax refund of $881 million. As a result, should Occidental not ultimately prevail on the issue, there would be no additional tax expense recorded relative to this position for financial statement purposes other than future interest. However, in that event, Occidental would be required to repay approximately $1 billion in federal taxes, $27 million in state taxes and accrued interest of $314 million. A liability for this amount plus interest is included in deferred credits and other liabilities-other.
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 December 31, 2021, 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, primarily to secure terminal and pipeline capacity, and also for 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 December 31, 2021, total purchase obligations were $12.5 billion, which included approximately $3.0 billion in 2022, $4.3 billion in 2023 and 2024, $2.6 billion in 2025 and 2026, and $2.6 billion in 2027 and thereafter.

(a)Included approximately two million shares of common stock issued to a benefits trust for former Anadarko employees treated as treasury stock as of December 31, 2019. These shares were sold from the trust in the first quarter of 2020.
TREASURY STOCK
The total number of shares authorized for Occidental’s share repurchase program is 185 million shares of which 44.2 million may yet be purchased under the repurchase program. However, the program does not obligate Occidental to acquire any specific number of shares and may be discontinued at any time. In 2021 and 2020, no shares were purchased under the program. In 2019, 2.7 million shares were purchased at an average price of $66.94. Additionally, Occidental purchased shares from the trustee of its defined contribution savings plan in 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, treasury stock shares numbered 149.3 million, 149.1 million and 150.3 million, respectively.
PREFERRED STOCK
In connection with the Acquisition, Occidental issued 100,000 shares of series A preferred stock, having a face value of $100,000 per share and a liquidation preference of $105,000 per share plus unpaid accrued dividends. In connection with the preferred stock issuance, Occidental also issued the Warrant. The holder of the Warrant and the preferred stock may redeem the preferred stock as payment for the exercise price of the Warrant in lieu of cash payment upon exercise. The preferred stock is redeemable at Occidental’s option after the 10th anniversary of issuance. 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. 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. If preferred dividends are not paid in full, Occidental is prohibited from paying dividends on common stock. Occidental paid $200 million in preferred stock dividends in each quarter of 2021.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, Occidental had 100,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, and none were outstanding in 2019.
COMMON STOCK WARRANTS
On June 26, 2020, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of warrants to holders of Occidental common stock, at a rate of 0.125 warrants per share of Occidental common stock (Common Stock Warrants). Occidental issued approximately 116 million Common Stock Warrants on August 3, 2020 to holders of record of outstanding shares of Occidental’s common stock as of the close of business on July 6, 2020, and pursuant to Occidental’s outstanding equity-based incentive awards in connection with anti-dilution adjustments resulting from such distribution. The Common Stock Warrants have an exercise price of $22.00 per share and will expire on August 3, 2027. The Common Stock Warrants are listed on the NYSE and trade under the symbol "OXY WS".
The Common Stock Warrants were measured at fair value on the declaration date using the Black-Scholes option model and were classified as equity in "Additional paid-in capital". The following level 2 inputs were used in the Black-Scholes option model: the expected life of the Common Stock Warrants, a volatility factor and the exercise price. The expected life is based on the estimated term of the Common Stock Warrants, the volatility factor is based on historical

volatilities of Occidental common stock and the exercise of $22.00 per share of Occidental common stock. As of the declaration date, the fair value of the Common Stock Warrants was determined to be $767 million.

| NOTE 15 - STOCK-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS |
Occidental issues stock-based awards to employees in accordance with the terms of the Plan, as amended and restated. An aggregate of 133 million shares of Occidental common stock were authorized for issuance and approximately 16.0 million shares had been reserved for issuance for employee awards through December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, approximately 68.7 million shares were available for grants of future awards. The plan requires each share covered by an award (other than options) to be counted as if three shares were issued in determining the number of shares that are available for future awards. Accordingly, the number of shares available for future awards may be less than 68.7 million depending on the type of award granted, and shares available for future awards may increase by the number of shares that are forfeited, canceled, or correspond to the portion of any stock-based awards settled in cash, including awards that were issued under a previous plan that remain outstanding. Current outstanding awards include RSUs, stock options, CROCEI awards and TSRI awards.
During 2021, non-employee directors were granted awards for 88,802 shares of common stock. Compensation expense for these awards was measured using the closing quoted market price of Occidental’s common stock on the grant date and was fully recognized at that time.
| OXY 2021 FORM 10-K | 107 |
| FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOOTNOTES |
Occidental incurred expenses of $287 million, $202 million and $208 million related to stock-based incentive plans in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The income tax benefit associated with this expense was $60 million, $42 million and $43 million in the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
As of December 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense for all unvested stock-based incentive awards was $225 million. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Occidental accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Certain employees are awarded the right to receive RSUs, some of which have performance criteria, and are in the form of, or equivalent in value to, actual shares of Occidental common stock. Depending on their terms, RSUs may be settled in stock or may be cash settled liabilities. These awards vest from one to three years following the grant date. For certain RSUs, dividend equivalents are paid during the vesting period (Term).
CASH-SETTLED RSU LIABILITY AWARDS
The weighted-average, grant-date fair values of cash-settled RSUs granted in 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $25.83, $40.86 and $42.62 per share, respectively. Cash-settled RSUs resulted in payments of $4 million, $3 million and $4 million, during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
STOCK-SETTLED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT EQUITY AWARDS
The weighted-average, grant-date fair values of the stock-settled RSUs granted in 2021, 2020, and 2019 were $25.45, $41.60 and $58.73, respectively. The fair value of RSUs settled in shares during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $70 million, $62 million and $148 million, respectively.

(a)Presented at the target payouts. Stock-settled RSU weighted-average payout at vesting was 95% of the target, resulting in the issuance of approximately 2,605,000 shares of Occidental common stock. Cash-settled RSUs do not have performance criteria.
TOTAL SHAREHOLDER RETURN INCENTIVE AWARDS
Certain executives are awarded TSRIs that vest at the end of a three-year period following the grant date. Payout is based upon Occidental’s absolute total shareholder return and performance relative to its peers. TSRIs have payouts that range from 0% to 200% of the target award and settle in stock once certified. Dividend equivalents for TSRIs are accumulated and paid upon certification of the award. The fair value of TSRIs settled in shares during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $4 million, $9 million and $4 million, respectively.
The fair values of TSRIs are initially determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on Occidental’s assumptions, noted in the following table, and the volatility from corresponding peer group companies. The expected life is based on the Term. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on zero coupon Treasury notes at the time of grant with a remaining term equal to the Term. The dividend yield is the expected annual dividend yield over the Term, expressed as a percentage of the stock price on the grant date. Estimates of fair value may not accurately predict the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive the awards, and the ultimate value may not be indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by Occidental.

| NOTE 16 - INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC AREAS |
Occidental conducts its operations through three segments: (1) oil and gas; (2) chemical; and (3) midstream and marketing. The factors used to identify these segments are based on the nature of the operations that are undertaken in each segment. Income taxes, interest income, interest expense, environmental remediation expenses, Anadarko Acquisition-related costs and unallocated corporate expenses are included under corporate and 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. Identifiable assets are those assets used in the operations of the segments. Corporate assets consist of cash and restricted cash, certain corporate receivables and PP&E. The chief operating decision maker analyzes each segment’s operating results to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance as well as Occidental’s overall performance.

Supplemental Oil and Gas Information
OIL AND GAS RESERVES
The following tables set forth Occidental’s net interests in quantities of proved developed and undeveloped reserves of oil, NGL and natural gas and changes in such quantities. Proved oil, NGL and natural gas reserves were estimated using the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the year, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements. Oil, NGL and natural gas prices used for this purpose were based on posted benchmark prices and adjusted for price differentials including gravity, quality and transportation costs. The following table shows the pricing used in the reserve analysis for the periods presented:
| 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||||||||||||||
| Average WTI Oil ($/Bbl) | $ | 66.56 | $ | 39.57 | $ | 55.69 | ||||||||||||||
| Average Brent Oil ($/Bbl) | $ | 69.24 | $ | 43.41 | $ | 63.03 | ||||||||||||||
| Average Henry Hub Natural Gas ($/MMbtu) | $ | 3.60 | $ | 1.98 | $ | 2.58 | ||||||||||||||
| Average Mt. Belvieu NGL ($/Bbl) (a) | $ | 44.22 | $ | 18.74 | N/A |
(a) Mt. Belvieu pricing was added as an NGL benchmark beginning in 2020. Prior to 2020, WTI Oil was used as a benchmark for NGL.
Reserves are stated net of applicable royalties. Estimated reserves include Occidental’s economic interests under PSCs and other similar economic arrangements. In addition, discussions of oil and gas production or volumes, in general, refer to sales volumes unless the context requires or it is indicated otherwise.
Prices for oil, NGL and natural gas fluctuate widely. Historically, the markets for oil, NGL and natural gas and refined products have been volatile and may continue to be volatile in the future. Prolonged declines in oil, NGL and natural gas prices would reduce Occidental’s operating results and cash flows and could impact its future rate of growth and the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE, INCLUDING YEAR-TO-YEAR CHANGES THEREIN, OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS
For purposes of the following disclosures, future cash flows were computed by applying to Occidental’s proved oil and gas reserves the unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, unless prices were defined by contractual arrangements, and exclude escalations based upon future conditions. The realized prices used to calculate future cash flows vary by producing area and market conditions. Future operating and capital costs were forecast using the current cost environment applied to expectations of future operating and development activities to develop and produce proved reserves at year end.
Future income tax expenses were computed by applying, generally, year-end statutory tax rates (adjusted for permanent differences, tax credits, allowances and foreign income repatriation considerations) to the estimated net future pre-tax cash flows. The discount was computed by application of a 10% discount factor. The calculations assumed the continuation of existing economic, operating and contractual conditions as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. Such assumptions, which are required by regulation, have not always proven accurate in the past. Other valid assumptions would give rise to substantially different results.

(b)Acres spaced or assigned to productive wells.
(c)Total acres in which interests are held.
(d)Sum of the fractional interests owned based on working interests, or interests under PSCs and other economic arrangements.
(e)Acres on which wells have not been drilled or completed to a point that would permit the production of commercial quantities of oil and gas, regardless of whether the acreage contains proved reserves.
(f)Occidental’s fee mineral acreage is primarily undeveloped.
Occidental’s investment in developed and undeveloped acreage comprises numerous concessions, blocks and leases. Work programs are designed to ensure that the exploration potential of any property is fully evaluated before the contractual expiration date. In some instances, Occidental may elect to relinquish acreage in advance of the contractual expiration date if the evaluation process is complete and there is not a business basis for extension. In cases where additional time may be required to fully evaluate acreage, Occidental has generally been successful in obtaining extensions. Scheduled lease and concession expirations for undeveloped acreage over the next three years are not expected to have a material adverse impact on Occidental.

OIL, NGL AND NATURAL GAS SALES VOLUMES PER DAY
The following tables set forth the sales volumes from ongoing operations of oil, NGL and natural gas per day for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021. The differences between the sales and production volumes per day are negligible and are generally due to the timing of shipments at Occidental’s international locations where product is loaded onto tankers. Natural gas volumes have been converted to Boe based on energy content of six Mcf of gas to one barrel of oil.
