| Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements | Occidental Petroleum Corporation and Subsidiaries |
| NOTE 1 - GENERAL |
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Occidental conducts its operations through various subsidiaries and affiliates. Occidental has made its disclosures in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles as they apply to interim reporting, and has condensed or omitted, as permitted by the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), certain information and disclosures normally included in Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto. These unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto in the 2023 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of Occidental’s management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this report reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary to fairly present Occidental’s results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and Occidental’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The income and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the income or cash flows to be expected for the full year.
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 balances for the periods presented include investments in government money market funds in which the carrying value approximates fair value.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents as reported in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows as of September 30, 2024 and 2023:
| millions | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,759 | $ | 611 | ||||
| Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents included in other current assets | 18 | 22 | ||||||
| Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents included in other long-term assets | 16 | 16 | ||||||
| Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents | $ | 1,793 | $ | 649 |
SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
The following table represents U.S. federal, state and international income taxes paid, refunds received and interest paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:
| millions | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||
| Income tax payments | $ | 812 | $ | 806 | ||||
| Income tax refunds received | $ | 29 | $ | 12 | ||||
| Interest paid (a) | $ | 897 | $ | 906 |
(a) Net of capitalized interest of $134 million and $69 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
WES INVESTMENT
WES is a publicly traded limited partnership with its limited partner units traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "WES". In August 2024, Occidental sold 19.5 million of its limited partner units for proceeds of $697 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of $489 million. As of September 30, 2024, Occidental owned all of the 2.3% non-voting general partner interest, 43.5% of the WES limited partner units, and a 2% non-voting limited partner interest in WES Operating, a subsidiary of WES. As of September 30, 2024, Occidental's combined share of net income from WES and its subsidiaries was 46.0%.
NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
In 2023, Occidental and BlackRock formed a joint venture for the continued development of the first commercial scale direct air capture facility in Ector County, Texas. The joint venture is a VIE and Occidental consolidates the VIE as it is the
primary beneficiary. BlackRock’s investment is accounted for as an NCI. Each party has committed to make additional investments towards the completion of the direct air capture facility, with BlackRock committed to invest up to $550 million. In addition, Occidental has entered into agreements with the joint venture related to project management, operations and maintenance and carbon removal offtake. Occidental may incur additional payments if certain construction and operational thresholds are not met.
Occidental may call the NCI on June 30, 2035 or earlier if the plant does not achieve commercial operations or ceases and permanently discontinues operations. Dividends from the joint venture will be distributed preferentially to the NCI up to a return threshold, then preferentially to Occidental thereafter. The NCI receives preferential distributions in liquidation.
Because distributions from the joint venture will not be consistent over time, or with the initial investments or ownership interest, Occidental has determined that the appropriate methodology for attributing income and loss from the joint venture is the HLBV method. Under the HLBV method, the amounts of income and loss attributed to the NCI in the consolidated statements of operations reflect changes in the amounts the NCI would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date if the joint venture was liquidated. As of September 30, 2024, the VIE’s assets were comprised of $672 million construction in progress.
| NOTE 2 - REVENUE |
Revenue from customers is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied; this generally occurs with the delivery of oil, NGL, gas, chemicals or services, such as transportation. As of September 30, 2024, trade receivables, net of $3.9 billion represent rights to payment for which Occidental has satisfied its obligations under a contract and its right to payment is conditioned only on the passage of time.
The following table shows a reconciliation of revenue from customers to total net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

DEBT ACTIVITY
In February 2024, Occidental entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the RCF extending its maturity date to June 30, 2028. In May 2024, Occidental amended the RCF to add an additional $150 million commitment, increasing the borrowing capacity to $4.15 billion. In July 2024, Occidental amended and extended the maturity date of its existing receivables securitization facility to July 30, 2027. As of September 30, 2024, the facility had $600 million of available borrowing capacity and no drawn amounts. The facility and the RCF include pricing adjustments based on specified sustainability thresholds and targets.
In connection with the CrownRock Acquisition, Occidental issued $9.7 billion in new debt in July 2024 and assumed $1.2 billion of existing CrownRock debt in August 2024. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Occidental used proceeds from divestitures and cash on hand to repay $4.0 billion of debt, which included the satisfaction and discharge of the 5.000% senior notes due 2029 that were acquired with CrownRock.
As of September 30, 2024, Occidental had $1.0 billion of debt maturities due in the next 12 months, excluding the current portion of finance leases.

FAIR VALUE OF DEBT

| NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES |
CROWNROCK ACQUISITION
In December 2023, Occidental entered into an agreement to purchase CrownRock, L.P. for total consideration of $12.4 billion, consisting of $9.4 billion of cash consideration (inclusive of certain working capital and other customary purchase price adjustments), 29.6 million shares of common stock of Occidental, and the assumption of $1.2 billion of existing debt of CrownRock. The acquisition closed August 1, 2024, adding to Occidental's oil and gas portfolio in the Permian Basin.
In connection with the CrownRock Acquisition, Occidental issued $5.0 billion of senior notes, a $2.0 billion 364-day term loan, and a $2.7 billion two-year term loan.
The CrownRock Acquisition qualified as a business combination and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The following table summarizes the cash and common stock components of the purchase price:

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

The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the major categories of assets and liabilities acquired based upon their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. The valuation of certain assets, primarily property, was based on preliminary appraisals.
Unproved oil and gas properties were valued primarily using a market approach based on comparable transactions for similar properties.
Proved oil and gas properties were valued using an income approach, which 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 an 8.5 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 specific proved oil and gas assets. Price assumptions were based on a combination of market information and published industry resources adjusted for historical differentials. Price assumptions ranged from approximately $75 per barrel of oil increasing to approximately $97 per barrel of oil for the 15-year period, with an unweighted arithmetic average price of $84.79 for WTI indexed assets for the same period. Natural gas prices ranged from approximately $2.80 per MCF to $5.10 per MCF for the 15-year period, with an unweighted arithmetic average price of $4.34 for NYMEX based assets for the same period. Both oil and natural gas commodity prices were held flat after 2038 and were adjusted for location and quality differentials. Operating and capital cost estimates were based on current observable costs and were further escalated 2 percent in every period. 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.

DIVESTITURES
During the third quarter of 2024, Occidental sold non-core assets in the Powder River Basin with near to intermediate term lease expirations and certain Delaware Basin assets in Texas and New Mexico for combined net proceeds of $779 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Occidental recognized a pre-tax loss of $479 million on the asset sales. In addition, Occidental sold 19.5 million of its limited partner units in WES for proceeds of $697 million resulting in a pre-tax gain of $489 million.
| NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVES |
OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations and transportation commitments and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. Occidental may occasionally use a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate risks. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are 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. The value of cash flow hedges was insignificant for all periods presented. As of September 30, 2024, Occidental’s marketing derivatives are not designated as hedges.
MARKETING DERIVATIVES
Occidental's marketing derivative instruments are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. As of September 30, 2024, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was $74.07 per barrel and $2.69 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was $76.36 per barrel and $2.62 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. 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. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments are recognized currently in net sales.
The following table summarizes net short volumes associated with the outstanding marketing commodity derivatives as of:

CREDIT RISK
The majority of Occidental’s credit risk is related to the physical delivery of energy commodities to its counterparties and their potential inability to meet their settlement commitments. Occidental manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with 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.

The worldwide effective tax rates for the periods presented in the table above were primarily driven by Occidental's jurisdictional mix of income. U.S. income is taxed at a U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, while international income is subject to tax at statutory rates as high as 55%.
INFLATION REDUCTION ACT AND PILLAR TWO
In August 2022, Congress passed the IRA that contains, among other provisions, a corporate book minimum tax on financial statement income, an excise tax on stock buybacks, a methane emissions charge and certain tax incentives related to climate change and clean energy. Occidental is currently evaluating the guidance and proposed regulations. The ultimate impact of the IRA to Occidental will depend on a number of factors including future commodity prices, interpretations and assumptions as well as additional regulatory guidance.
Approximately 140 countries have agreed to a statement in support of the OECD Pillar Two initiative that proposes a 15% global minimum tax on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. A number of countries, including European Union member states, the United Kingdom, and Canada have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to be effective in 2024, with widespread implementation of a global minimum tax expected by 2025. As the legislation becomes effective in countries in which Occidental operates, its cash tax could increase, and its effective tax rate could be negatively impacted. Occidental will continue to monitor proposed legislation and guidance issued by both the OECD as well as the jurisdictions in which it operates to assess the impact on its tax position. We do not expect the provisions effective in 2024 to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
| NOTE 8 - ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND EXPENDITURES |
Occidental and its subsidiaries and their respective operations are subject to stringent federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, 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, regional, state, provincial, tribal, 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 Third-Party, Currently Operated, and Closed or Non-Operated Sites, which categories may include NPL Sites. Remedial activities may include one or more of the following: investigation involving sampling, modeling, risk assessment or monitoring; clean-up 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, natural resource damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
As of September 30, 2024, certain Occidental subsidiaries participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 159 sites. The following table presents the current and non-current environmental remediation liabilities of such subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of September 30, 2024. The current portion of $131 million is included in accrued liabilities and the remainder of $847 million is included in deferred credits and other liabilities - environmental remediation liabilities.
These environmental remediation sites are grouped into NPL Sites and the following three categories of non-NPL Sites—Third-Party Sites, Currently Operated Sites and Closed or Non-Operated Sites.
| millions, except number of sites | Number of Sites | Remediation Balance | ||||||
| NPL Sites | 32 | $ | 437 | |||||
| Third-Party Sites | 64 | 212 | ||||||
| Currently Operated Sites | 12 | 90 | ||||||
| Closed or Non-Operated Sites | 51 | 239 | ||||||
| Total | 159 | $ | 978 |
As of September 30, 2024, environmental remediation liabilities of Occidental subsidiaries exceeded $10 million each at 15 of the 159 sites described above, and 92 of the sites had liabilities from $0 to $1 million each. Based on current estimates, Occidental expects its subsidiaries to expend funds corresponding to approximately 40% of the period-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 of its subsidiaries beyond those amounts currently recorded for environmental remediation for the 159 environmental sites in the table above could be up to $2.7 billion. The status of Occidental's involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions have not changed materially since December 31, 2023.
MAXUS ENVIRONMENTAL SITES
A significant portion of aggregate estimates of environmental remediation liabilities and reasonably possible additional losses described above relates to the former DSCC. When OxyChem acquired DSCC in 1986, Maxus agreed to indemnify OxyChem for a number of environmental sites, including the DASS. In June 2016, Maxus and several affiliated companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In 2023, OxyChem recovered the majority of its remaining claims for indemnified costs from the proceeds of litigation brought by the Maxus Liquidating Trust.
DIAMOND ALKALI SUPERFUND SITE
The EPA has organized the DASS into four Operable Units (OUs) for evaluating, selecting and implementing remediation under CERCLA. OxyChem’s current activities in each OU are summarized below, many of which are performed on OxyChem’s behalf by Glenn Springs Holdings, Inc.
OU1 – The Former Diamond Alkali Plant at 80-120 Lister Avenue in Newark: Maxus and its affiliates implemented an interim remedy of OU1 pursuant to a 1990 Consent Decree, for which OxyChem currently performs maintenance and monitoring. In September 2024, the EPA proposed a final remedy for OU1 for public comment.
OU2 – The Lower 8.3 Miles of the Lower Passaic River: In March 2016, the EPA issued a ROD specifying remedial actions required for OU2. During the third quarter of 2016, and following Maxus’s bankruptcy filing, OxyChem and the EPA entered into an AOC to complete the design of the remedy selected in the ROD. In May 2024, the EPA approved OxyChem's remedial design for OU2. In June 2024, the EPA notified OxyChem that the work required by the AOC has been fully performed in accordance with its terms. In 2016, the EPA sent notice letters to approximately 100 parties notifying them that they were potentially responsible to pay the costs to implement the remedy in OU2. In June 2018, OxyChem filed a complaint under CERCLA in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey against numerous potentially responsible parties seeking contribution and cost recovery of amounts incurred or to be incurred to comply with the AOC and the OU2 ROD, or to perform other remediation activities related to the DASS (2018 Contribution Action). The District Court has not adjudicated OxyChem’s relative share of responsibility for those costs. The EPA has estimated the cost to remediate OU2 to be approximately $1.4 billion.
OU3 – Newark Bay Study Area, including Newark Bay and Portions of the Hackensack River, Arthur Kill, and Kill van Kull: Maxus and its affiliates initiated a remedial investigation and feasibility study of OU3 pursuant to a 2004 AOC which was amended in 2010. OxyChem is currently performing feasibility study activities in OU3. In September 2022, the EPA listed the Lower Hackensack River (LHR) on the NPL, and this listed site comprises several existing NPL sites along a portion of that river that flows into OU3. In January 2024, the EPA sent a general notice letter requesting that OxyChem and four other entities coordinate certain investigation activities at the LHR site.
OU4 – The 17-mile Lower Passaic River Study Area, comprising OU2 and the Upper 9 Miles of the Lower Passaic River: In September 2021, the EPA issued a ROD selecting an interim remedy for the portion of OU4 that excludes OU2 and is located upstream from the Lister Avenue Plant site for which OxyChem inherited legal responsibility. The EPA has estimated the cost to remediate OU4 to be approximately $440 million. At this time, OxyChem's role or responsibilities under the OU4 ROD, and those of other potentially responsible parties, have not been adjudicated. To provide continued, efficient remediation progress, in January 2022, OxyChem offered to design and implement the interim remedy for OU4 subject to certain conditions, including a condition that the EPA would not seek to bar OxyChem’s right to seek contribution or cost recovery from any other parties that are potentially responsible to pay for the OU4 interim remedy. In March 2022, the EPA sent a notice letter to OxyChem and other parties requesting good faith offers to implement the selected remedies at OU2 and OU4. OxyChem submitted a good faith offer in June 2022, reaffirming the offer to design the remedy for OU4 and offering to enter into additional sequential agreements to remediate OU2 and OU4, subject to similar conditions, including that the EPA not seek to bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution or cost recovery from other responsible parties. The EPA did not accept OxyChem's June 2022 offer. In March 2023, the EPA issued a Unilateral Administrative Order (OU4 UAO) in which it directed and ordered OxyChem to design the EPA’s selected interim remedy for OU4 and to provide approximately $93 million in financial assurance to secure its performance. Subject to all its defenses, OxyChem is designing the interim remedy in compliance with the OU4 UAO. Because OxyChem is incurring costs to implement the OU4 UAO, and the EPA is proposing to bar OxyChem's contribution claims against various parties as part of the Alden Leeds litigation described below, including those asserted in the 2018 Contribution Action, OxyChem filed a cost recovery action under CERCLA in March 2023 in the District Court against multiple parties (2023 Cost Recovery Action).
Natural Resource Trustees – In addition to the activities of the EPA and OxyChem in the OUs described above, federal and state natural resource trustees are assessing natural resources in the Lower Passaic River and Greater Newark Bay to evaluate potential claims for natural resource damages.
ALDEN LEEDS LITIGATION
In December 2022, the EPA and the DOJ filed a proposed Consent Decree in the Alden Leeds litigation seeking court approval to settle with 85 parties for a total of $150 million with no requirement that the settling parties perform remediation work. OxyChem believes the proposed settlement is based on an unauthorized, flawed and disproportionate allocation of responsibility and would inappropriately release settling companies from liability to the United States for remediation costs in DASS OU2 and OU4. OxyChem also believes it would bar OxyChem from pursuing contribution against those parties for remediation costs OxyChem had incurred or may incur in the future to design and implement the remedies in OU2 and OU4, including claims OxyChem asserted in the 2018 Contribution Action. The proposed settlement does not address the liability of entities that were excluded from the settlement for the DASS, including OU2, OU3, OU4 or natural resource damages, or the liability of any settling party with respect to OU3 or natural resource damages. The proposed settlement was subject to a public comment period that closed in March 2023. In January 2024, the DOJ filed a proposed Amended Consent Decree in which it excluded three companies from the proposed settlement, among other changes, followed by a motion to approve the Amended Consent Decree.
OxyChem believes the proposed settlement and Amended Consent Decree rely, improperly, on an allocation report prepared by an EPA contractor in which the contractor purported to assign a disproportionate share of the responsibility for remediation costs in OU2 and OU4 to OxyChem. OxyChem also believes that this process was unreasonably limited in scope and unreliably based on voluntary reporting by the settling parties, instead of sworn evidence, publicly available
sampling results and historical documents reflecting the operating history and disposal practices of the 82 parties that the EPA proposes to release in this settlement.
OxyChem intends to challenge vigorously the proposed settlement and Amended Consent Decree, as well as the allocation report and process upon which they are based, and to seek contribution and cost recovery from other potentially responsible parties for remediation costs it has incurred or may incur at the DASS. OxyChem filed its response to the motion to approve the Amended Consent Decree in April 2024, to which other parties filed replies in May 2024.
OxyChem does not know when the District Court will rule on the DOJ’s motion to approve the Amended Consent Decree. If the Amended Consent Decree is approved by the District Court and not overturned on appeal, then, notwithstanding OxyChem’s vigorous, good faith effort to contest the settlement proposed in the Alden Leeds litigation, the EPA could attempt to compel OxyChem to bear substantially all the estimated cost to design and implement the OU2 and OU4 remedies. Such a result could have a material adverse impact on OxyChem and Occidental’s consolidated results of operations in the period recorded.
While the remedies for OU2 and OU4 are expected to take over ten years to complete, the EPA may seek to require OxyChem to provide additional financial assurance. In the OU4 UAO, the EPA directed OxyChem to post financial assurance of approximately $93 million. Subject to all defenses, OxyChem has complied with this directive. The amount of any additional financial assurance is not subject to estimation at this time. It is uncertain when or to what extent the EPA may take action to compel OxyChem to perform further remediation in OU2 or OU4 or the amount of financial assurance the EPA may attempt to require OxyChem to post. For further information on the Alden Leeds litigation, see Note 9 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies.
OTHER INFORMATION
For the DASS, OxyChem has accrued a reserve relating to its estimated allocable share of the costs to perform the maintenance and monitoring required in the OU1 Consent Decree, the design and implementation of remedies selected in the OU2 ROD and AOC and the OU4 ROD and OU4 UAO, and the remedial investigation and feasibility study required in OU3.
OxyChem’s accrued environmental remediation reserve does not reflect the potential for additional remediation costs or natural resource damages for the DASS that OxyChem believes are not reasonably estimable. OxyChem’s ultimate liability at the DASS may be higher or lower than the reserved amount and the reasonably possible additional losses, and is subject to final design plans, further action by the EPA and natural resource trustees, and the resolution of OxyChem's allocable share with other potentially responsible parties, among other factors.
OxyChem continues to evaluate the estimated costs currently recorded for remediation at the DASS as well as the range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond those amounts currently recorded. Given the complexity and extent of the remediation efforts, estimates of the remediation costs may increase or decrease over time as new information becomes available.
| NOTE 9 - LAWSUITS, CLAIMS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
LEGAL MATTERS
Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries are involved, in the normal course of business, in lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damage or other losses, punitive damages, civil penalties, or injunctive or declaratory relief. Occidental or certain of its subsidiaries also are involved in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, regional, state, provincial, tribal, local and international environmental laws. These environmental proceedings seek funding or performance of remediation and, in some cases, compensation for alleged property damage, natural resource damages, punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief and government oversight costs. Usually Occidental or such subsidiaries are among many companies in these environmental proceedings and have to date been successful in sharing remediation 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 or its subsidiary retains liability or indemnifies the other party for conditions that existed prior to the transaction.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, Occidental or its subsidiaries accrue 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 matters, other than for the arbitration award (disclosed below), tax matters or environmental remediation, that satisfy these criteria as of September 30, 2024 were not material to Occidental’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.
If unfavorable outcomes of these matters were to occur, future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Occidental’s estimates are based on information known
about the legal matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. Occidental will reassess the probability and estimability of contingent losses as new information becomes available.
ANDES ARBITRATION
As previously disclosed, in April 2024, Andes and the Occidental entities named in the pending actions related to the Andes Arbitration executed a confidential final settlement in which the parties agreed to dismiss all pending legal actions. The settlement resulted in a gain of $182 million, net of taxes, which was included in operating cash flows from discontinued operations.
ALDEN LEEDS AND OTHER LITIGATION
As described in Note 8 – Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures, OxyChem intends to challenge vigorously the proposed settlement and Amended Consent Decree in the Alden Leeds litigation, as well as the allocation report and process upon which they are based. In the 2018 Contribution Action and 2023 Cost Recovery Action, OxyChem also intends to defend and prosecute vigorously its right to seek contribution and cost recovery from all potentially responsible parties to pay remediation costs in the DASS and to seek a judicial allocation of responsibility under CERCLA. The 2018 Contribution Action and the 2023 Cost Recovery Action are currently stayed pending the outcome of the Alden Leeds litigation. OxyChem is unable to estimate the timing of the District Court’s decision, its outcome, or the outcome of any appeals from the District Court’s decision.
TAX MATTERS AND DISPUTES
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 2021 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 2018 have been audited for state income tax purposes. There are no outstanding significant audit matters in international jurisdictions. 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 and closed by the IRS. Tax years 2015 and 2017 through 2019 have been audited by the IRS but remain open pending the outcome of the Tronox U.S. Tax Court litigation discussed below. Tax years through 2010 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 dispute discussed below, Occidental believes that the resolution of these outstanding tax disputes 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. Trial was held in May 2023.The parties filed post-trial briefs throughout 2023 and 2024. Closing arguments were held in May 2024. An opinion by the Tax Court could be issued at any time. If any tax liability is due as a result of the Tax Court’s opinion, it must be fully bonded or paid in full within 90 days of the entry of decision by the Tax Court. If an appeal is not pursued by Anadarko, any resulting tax deficiency will be assessed by the IRS and would be due within 30 days of receiving a formal notice of tax assessment.
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. Additionally, Occidental has recorded no tax benefit on approximately $500 million of additional cash tax benefits realized from the utilization of tax attributes generated as a result of the deduction of the $5.2 billion Tronox Adversary Proceeding settlement payment in 2015. 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, as of September 30, 2024, Occidental would be required to repay approximately $1.4 billion in federal taxes, $28 million in state taxes and accrued interest of $722 million. A liability for the taxes and 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 or its subsidiaries. These indemnities usually are contingent upon the other party incurring liabilities that reach specified thresholds. As of September 30, 2024, 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.

| NOTE 11 - SEGMENTS |
Occidental conducts its operations through three segments: oil and gas, chemical and midstream and marketing. Income taxes, interest income, interest expense, environmental remediation expenses 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.
