What was the financial impact of the OxyChem sale?

Occidental Petroleum completed the sale of OxyChem for $9.7 billion in cash on January 2, 2026. This transaction resulted in an estimated gain of $3.2 billion, net of taxes and subject to post-closing adjustments. OxyChem's results are now reported as discontinued operations.

How did lower oil prices affect Occidental's performance in 2025?

Occidental experienced lower average realized prices for oil in 2025 compared to 2024. WTI prices fell to $64.81/bbl from $75.72/bbl, and Brent prices dropped to $68.18/bbl from $79.79/bbl. This decrease in commodity prices impacted the company's net sales, although higher production volumes, particularly from the CrownRock acquisition, helped offset some of this effect.

What is Occidental's strategy for debt reduction and shareholder returns?

Occidental's strategy prioritizes using excess cash flow and divestiture proceeds for deleveraging until principal debt reaches approximately $14.3 billion. Following debt reduction, available cash will be allocated to opportunistic share repurchases and further debt reduction. The company is committed to delivering a sustainable and growing dividend to shareholders.

What progress has been made on the STRATOS direct air capture facility?

Occidental's Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (OLCV) segment advanced its carbon management initiatives. Construction of the STRATOS central processing facilities was completed, and Class VI permits for CO2 sequestration were obtained. Operations are expected to commence in 2026, with initial capacity of up to 250,000 tons of CO2 per annum.
