Overriding Goal is to Maximize Total Shareholder Return

• We believe this can be achieved through a combination of:

• Growing our oil and gas production by 5 to 8% per year on
average over the long term;

• Allocating and deploying capital with a focus on achieving
well above cost-of-capital returns (ROE and ROCE);

– Return Targets*

• Domestic - 15+%

• International - 20+%

• Consistent dividend growth, that is superior to that of our
peers.

*Assumes Moderate Product Prices

What Is Our Philosophy & Strategy?

Oxy’s Three Main Performance Criteria -
Production Growth, Returns & Dividend Growth

• We finished a strong year in terms of the three main
performance criteria outlined last quarter.

• Our domestic oil and gas production grew by about 12%
for 2011 to 428 mboe/d.

– 4Q11 domestic production of 449 mboe/d was the highest U.S. total
production volume in Oxy’s history, reflecting the highest ever
quarterly volume for liquids of 310 mb/d and the second highest
quarterly volume for gas.

– Total company production increased about 4% for the year.

• Our chemical business delivered exceptional results
for the year, achieving one of their highest earnings
levels ever.

• Our ROE was 19% for the year and ROCE was 17%.

(2007 - 2011)

• Our ability to pay dividends is indicated by our free cash
flow generation.

• Free cash flow after interest, taxes and capital spending,
but before dividends, acquisitions and debt activity for
2011 was about $4.8 billion.

• Last month the Board of Directors increased the
company’s dividend 17% to an annualized rate of $2.16
per share, compared to the previous annual rate of $1.84.

• We have now increased our dividend every year for 10
consecutive years, and a total of 11 times during that
period.

• This increase brings the company’s compound annual
dividend growth rate over the last 10 years to 15.8%.

Oil & Gas Production - 1Q12 Outlook

• During our 4Q11 earnings conference call held in late
January, we indicated:

– “At current prices, total 1Q12 sales volumes to be comparable
to 4Q11 volumes of 749 mboe/d, depending on the scheduling
of liftings.

– Our 4Q11 Colombia production was 28 mb/d, up slightly
from 3Q11 levels, although both periods included pipeline
interruptions caused by insurgent activity.

– In 1Q12, Colombia volumes should be about 3 mboe/d higher
than 4Q11, although insurgent activity has picked up recently.”

• As a result of repeated pipeline interruptions caused
by insurgent activity, we now expect our 1Q12
Colombia production volumes to be about 23 mb/d,
roughly 9 mb/d below capacity.

42%

28%

• About 60% of Oxy’s oil production tracks world oil prices
and 40% is indexed to WTI. For example:

– In California our realized price was 109% of WTI and 94% of
Brent in 2011.

– In Oman our average price was 104% of WTI and 89% of Brent.

• Our overall differentials for 2011, resulted in realized oil
prices representing 103% of the average WTI and 88% of
the average Brent price.

Realized Oil Prices & Differentials

• We have ample legitimate opportunities in our domestic
oil and gas business where we could deploy capital.

• We try to manage the program to a level that is realistic at
current price levels, and as a result, have deferred some
projects that otherwise would have met our hurdle rates.

• We continue to have substantial inventory of high return
projects going forward to fulfill our growth objectives.

Capital Spending - 2012 Outlook

Capital Spending - 2012E vs. 2011 Actual

• We increased our capital program approximately 10% in 2012 to
$8.3 billion from the $7.5 billion spent in 2011.

• About $500 million of this increase will be in the US, mainly in the
Permian basin, and the rest in international projects including the
Al Hosn gas project and Iraq.

• We will review our capital program around mid-year and adjust as
conditions dictate.

• Base 5 - 8% Compounded Average Annual Growth

– Current California risked prospects

– Non-CO2 & CO2 in the Permian

– Williston Basin

– Oman

– Iraq

• Upside from Existing Holdings

– New California conventional and unconventional prospects

– Permian exploration

– Rockies

– Oman exploration

• Additional opportunities from balance sheet and cash
generation

– Domestic properties acquisitions

– New Middle East projects

Oil & Gas Volume Growth Drivers

• US oil and gas production -

– In 1H12, we expect our domestic production to grow 3 to 4 mboe/d
each month from the current quarterly average of 449 mboe/d,
which would correspond to a 6 to 8 mboe/d increase per quarter.

– 4Q11 was relatively free of significant operational disruptions
resulting in better than expected domestic production. A more
typical experience with respect to such issues could moderate the
growth somewhat in 1Q12.

– If the production growth rate continued at a comparable pace in
2H12, our year-over-year average domestic production growth
would be between 8% and 10% in 2012.

Elk Hills proper, and ~140 total shale
wells including Elk Hills in 1H12

• 30-day initial production rate for
these wells is between 300 and 400
BOE per day

• For the shale wells outside Elk Hills,
~80% of the BOE production is a
combination of black oil and high-
value condensate

• Cost of drilling and completing the
wells has run ~$3.5 million per well,
which we expect to decline over time;
largely vertical wells

• Company’s core business is acquiring assets that can
provide future growth through improved recovery.

– Foreign contracts

– Domestic add-ons

– Small incremental additions to production in short term

• Generate returns of at least 15% in the US and 20% overseas.

• Overall average finding & development costs of less than
25% of selling price.

• Even with the additional capital shown, program will
generate a significant amount of free cash flow.

• Acquisitions are measured against reinvesting in the existing
business with the goal of enhancing company value.

• Large number of opportunities over 5-year period.

Acquisition Strategy

• 5 - 8% base annual production growth over the long term

• Opportunity for additional volume growth

• Returns on invested capital significantly in excess of
Company’s cost of capital

• Consistent, annual increases in dividends

• Significant financial flexibility for opportunities in distressed
periods

• Conservative financial statements

• Committed to generating stock market value which is greater
than earnings retained

• We believe this will generate top quartile returns for our
shareholders

Portions of this presentation contain forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties that could materially affect
expected results of operations, liquidity, cash flows and business prospects. Factors that could cause results to differ
materially include, but are not limited to: global commodity pricing fluctuations; supply and demand considerations for
Occidental’s products; general domestic political and regulatory approval conditions; political events; not successfully
completing, or any material delay of, any development of new fields, expansion projects, capital expenditures, efficiency-
improvement projects, acquisitions or dispositions; potential failure to achieve expected production from existing and future oil
and gas development projects; exploration risks such as drilling unsuccessful wells; any general economic recession or
slowdown domestically or internationally; higher-than-expected costs; potential liability for remedial actions under existing or
future environmental regulations and litigation; potential liability resulting from pending or future litigation; general domestic and
international political conditions; potential disruption or interruption of Occidental’s production or manufacturing or damage to
facilities due to accidents, chemical releases, labor unrest, weather, natural disasters or insurgent activity; failure of risk
management; changes in law or regulations; or changes in tax rates. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) permits oil and natural gas companies, in their SEC filings, to disclose only reserves anticipated to be economically
producible, as of a given date, by application of development projects to known accumulations. We use certain terms in this
presentation, such as net-in-place, net risked reserves, de-risked, EUR (expected ultimate recovery), likely recoverable
resources, net remaining and oil in place, that the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from using in our SEC filings. These
terms represent our internal estimates of volumes of oil and gas that are not proved reserves but are potentially recoverable
through exploratory drilling or additional drilling or recovery techniques and are not intended to correspond to probable or
possible reserves as defined by SEC regulations. By their nature these estimates are more speculative than proved, probable
or possible reserves and subject to greater risk they will not be realized. You should not place undue reliance on these forward
