 These new acquisitions and the sale of Argentina will:
  be immediately accretive to our earnings, ROCE and cash flow after
 capital;
  provide greater certainty in achieving both our short-term and long-term
 average annual production growth outlook of 5 to 8%;
  increase the domestic weighting of our Oil and Gas operations;
  not materially alter the mix between our oil and natural gas reserves or
 production.
 These properties, combined with acquisitions completed
 earlier this year, will more than replace the production from
 the sale of Argentina
 We expect that each of these new acquisitions together with
 future drilling, potential exploration and consolidation
 opportunities in these areas, over time, will grow to 50+

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; 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,
political events or insurgent activity; failure of risk management; changes in law or regulations; or changes in tax
rates. Finding and Development costs calculations inherently compare costs and reserves from separate periods.

EUR, expected ultimate recovery, potential reserves, discovery volumes, recoverable resources and oil in place, that
the SEC’s guidelines strictly prohibit us from using in our SEC filings. You should not place undue reliance on these
