OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2011
 
 
1.
 
General
 
In these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, "Occidental" means Occidental Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (OPC), and/or one or more entities in which it owns a majority voting interest (subsidiaries). Occidental has made its disclosures in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles as they apply to interim reporting, and condensed or omitted, as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements and the notes.  The consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto in Occidental’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
In the opinion of Occidental’s management, the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present Occidental’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2011, and the consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, as applicable. The income and cash flows for the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the income or cash flows to be expected for the full year.
 
Certain financial statements and notes for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation.
 
 
2.
 
Asset Acquisitions, Dispositions and Other Transactions
 
In the first quarter of 2011, Occidental acquired a 40-percent participating interest in the Shah Field high sulfur content gas development project in Abu Dhabi.  Occidental partnered with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in a 30-year joint venture agreement for the $10 billion project, of which Occidental’s portion is approximately $4 billion.  Accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2011 in the accompanying balance sheet included Occidental’s approximately $500 million share of development expenditures incurred by the project prior to the date the final agreement was signed.
 
In the first quarter of 2011, Occidental paid approximately $3.0 billion for acquisitions, which included oil and gas properties in South Texas, California and the Permian Basin.
 
In February 2011, Occidental initiated redemption of all of its $1.0 billion 7-percent senior notes due 2013 and all of its $368 million 6.75-percent senior notes due 2012.  Occidental recorded a $163 million pre-tax charge upon completion of the redemption in March 2011.
 
In December 2010, Occidental executed an agreement with a subsidiary of China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) to sell its Argentine oil and gas operations for after-tax proceeds of approximately $2.6 billion.  Occidental recorded a pre-tax gain of $225 million when the sale closed in February 2011.  Net revenues and pre-tax income (losses) for discontinued operations related to Argentina were $97 million and $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $155 million and ($43) million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.  As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the assets of discontinued operations related to Argentina were $0 and $2.9 billion, respectively, which were mainly comprised of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2010.  As of March 31, 2011, the liabilities of discontinued operations related to Argentina were $5 million, which comprised accrued liabilities.  As of December 31, 2010, these liabilities were $513 million, which mainly comprised deferred tax liabilities and accrued liabilities.
 
In March 2011, Occidental borrowed $1 billion for short term cash needs.  The full amount was repaid in April 2011.

6
 
 
 
 

 
Occidental has ceased its exploration activity in Libya due to the ongoing political unrest there and sanctions imposed by the United States government.  As a result, Occidental wrote off the entire amount of the capitalized and suspended exploration costs incurred to date, including lease acquisition costs, of approximately $35 million.  The producing fields in Libya are operated by Libyan companies and the impact of the current situation on those operations is uncertain at this time.  Further, United States sanctions imposed in February 2011 currently prevent Occidental from participating in these operations.  The net book value of Occidental’s Libyan producing properties at March 31, 2011 was $839 million.  At December 31, 2010, these properties had net proved reserves estimated at 57 million barrels, approximately 2 percent of Occidental’s total proved reserves.  Occidental Libya’s 2010 sales and production volumes were 13,000 BOE per day, representing less than 2 percent of Occidental’s worldwide volumes.  Going forward, Occidental will not report any production from Libya until the sanctions are no longer in effect and the conditions permit.    Occidental’s Libyan operations, excluding exploration costs, had $25 million and $31 million of after-tax income and cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures
 
Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to improving or maintaining environmental quality.  Occidental’s environmental compliance costs have generally increased over time and could continue to rise in the future.  Occidental factors environmental expenditures for its operations into its business planning process as an integral part of producing quality products responsive to market demand.
 
The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and foreign laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites.  OPC 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.
 
As of March 31, 2011, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 168 sites.  The following table presents Occidental’s environmental remediation reserves as of March 31, 2011, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($78 million) and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities – other ($296 million).  The reserves are grouped as environmental remediation sites listed or proposed for listing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on the CERCLA National Priorities List (NPL sites) and three categories of non-NPL sites — third-party sites, Occidental-operated sites and closed or non-operated Occidental sites.

As of March 31, 2011, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million at 13 of the 168 sites described above, and 120 of the sites had reserves from $0 to $1 million each.  Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately half of the current environmental reserves over the next four years and the balance over the subsequent ten or more years.  Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional loss beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at the sites described above could be up to $375 million.  The status of Occidental’s involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions have not changed materially since December 31, 2010.  For management’s opinion with respect to environmental matters, refer to Note 8.

Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters
 
OPC or certain of its subsidiaries are named, 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, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief.  OPC or certain of its subsidiaries also have been named in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and foreign 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; however, Occidental is usually one of many companies in these proceedings and has to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies.  The ultimate amount of losses and the timing of any such losses that Occidental may incur resulting from currently outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be determined reliably at this time.  Occidental accrues reserves for all of these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated.  Reserve balances as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were not material to Occidental's consolidated balance sheets.  Occidental also evaluates the amount of reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur as a result of the matters mentioned above.  Occidental has disclosed its range of reasonably possible losses for sites where it is a participant in environmental remediation.  Occidental believes that other reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur in excess of reserves accrued on the balance sheet would not be material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions.  While the audits of corporate tax returns for taxable years through 2008 have concluded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the 2009 and 2010 taxable years are currently under review by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program.  Taxable years from 2000 through the current year remain subject to examination by foreign and state government tax authorities in certain jurisdictions.  In certain of these jurisdictions, tax authorities are in various stages of auditing Occidental’s income taxes.  During the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.  Occidental believes that the resolution of outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
Occidental has indemnified various parties against specified liabilities that 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 March 31, 2011, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to future indemnity claims against it in connection with these transactions that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.

Fair Value Measurements
 
Occidental has categorized its assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation techniques, in a three-level fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – using observable inputs other than quoted prices; and Level 3 – using unobservable inputs.  Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized 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 price 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:
 
Trading securities – Quoted prices in active markets exist and are used to provide fair values for these instruments.  These securities are classified as Level 1.
 
Commodity derivatives – 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.  Over-the-Counter (OTC) financial commodity contracts, options and physical commodity forward purchase and sale contracts 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, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable prices at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.  Occidental classifies these measurements as Level 2.
 
Occidental generally uses an income approach to measure fair value when there is not a market observable price for an identical or similar asset or liability.  This approach utilizes management's assumptions regarding expectations of projected cash flows, and discounts the expected cash flows using a commensurate risk-adjusted discount rate.

Fair Values - Nonrecurring
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, Occidental did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
 
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and other on-balance-sheet financial instruments, other than fixed-rate debt, approximate fair value.  The cost, if any, to terminate off-balance-sheet financial instruments is not significant.  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 similar instruments’ maturities.  The estimated fair values of Occidental’s debt, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were approximately $4.9 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, compared to carrying values of $4.7 billion and $5.1 billion, respectively.

Derivatives
 
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 such treatment and management elects to do so.  If a derivative does not qualify or is not designated and documented as a cash-flow hedge, any fair value gains or losses are recognized in earnings in the current period.  
 
Through its marketing and trading activities and within its established policy controls and procedures, Occidental uses derivative instruments, including a combination of short-term futures, forwards, options and swaps, to improve realized prices for its crude oil, gas and natural gas liquids (NGL).  Additionally, Occidental, through its Phibro trading unit, engages in trading activities using derivatives for the purpose of generating profits mainly from market price changes of commodities.  Occidental has also used derivatives to reduce its exposure to price volatility on a small portion of its crude oil and gas production.
 
Cash-Flow Hedges
 
As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental held a series of collar agreements that qualify as cash-flow hedges for the sale of approximately 3 percent of its crude oil production.  These agreements are for existing domestic production and continue to the end of 2011.  The following table presents the daily quantities and weighted-average strike prices of Occidental's collar positions as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

In 2009, Occidental entered into financial swap agreements related to the sale of a portion of its natural gas production from the Rocky Mountain region of the United States that qualify as cash-flow hedges. The following table presents the daily quantities and weighted-average prices that will be received by Occidental as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Occidental’s marketing and trading operations store natural gas purchased from third parties at Occidental’s North American leased storage facilities.  Derivative instruments are used to fix margins on the future sales of the stored volumes.  These agreements continue through March 31, 2012.  As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental had approximately 4 billion cubic feet and 28 billion cubic feet of natural gas held in storage, respectively.  As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental had cash-flow hedges for the forecasted sale, to be settled by physical delivery, of approximately 4 billion cubic feet and 24 billion cubic feet of this natural gas held in storage, respectively.
 
The following table presents the pre-tax gains and losses recognized in, and reclassified from, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) and recognized in income (net sales), including any hedge ineffectiveness, for derivative instruments classified as cash-flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 (in millions):

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
Occidental’s third-party marketing and trading activities focus on purchasing crude oil, natural gas and NGL for resale from partners, producers and third parties whose supply is located near midstream and marketing assets, such as pipelines, processing plants and storage facilities, that are owned or leased by Occidental.  These purchases allow Occidental to aggregate volumes to maximize prices received for Occidental’s production.  The third-party marketing and trading purchase and sales contracts generally approximate each other with respect to aggregate volumes and terms.  In addition, Occidental’s Phibro trading unit uses derivative instruments, including forwards, futures, swaps and options, some of which may be for physical delivery, in its strategy to profit from market price changes.

In addition, Occidental has certain other commodity trading contracts, including agricultural products, metals and electricity, as well as foreign exchange contracts, which were not material to Occidental as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
Occidental has crude oil sales contracts representing a small portion of Occidental's domestic crude oil production.  A substantial portion of the sales contracts that existed at March 31, 2011 from third-party marketing and trading activities is going to be fulfilled by existing purchase contracts with substantially identical terms.  For a substantial portion of the sales commitments not satisfied by such contracts as of March 31, 2011, Occidental has entered into offsetting contracts after March 31, 2011.  The remaining portion is not material to Occidental.
 
Approximately $11 million and $42 million of losses from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were recognized in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Credit Risk
 
A majority of Occidental’s derivative transaction volume is executed through exchange-traded contracts, which are subject to nominal credit risk as a significant portion of these transactions are executed on a daily margin basis.  Collateral of $220 million and $154 million deposited by Occidental for such contracts with clearing houses and brokers, which has not been reflected in the derivative fair value tables, is included in the marketing and trading assets and other balance as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
In addition, Occidental executes a portion of its derivative transactions in the over-the-counter (OTC) market.  Occidental is subject to counterparty credit risk to the extent the counterparty to the derivatives is unable to meet its settlement commitments.  Occidental manages this credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by spreading the credit risk among many such counterparties, by entering into master netting arrangements with the counterparties and by requiring collateral, as appropriate.  Occidental actively monitors the creditworthiness of each counterparty and records valuation adjustments to reflect counterparty risk, if necessary.  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 would need to post.  As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Occidental had a net liability of $190 million and $234 million, respectively, for which the amount of collateral posted was $29 million and $10 million, respectively.  Occidental believes that if it had received a one-notch reduction in its credit rating, it would not have resulted in a material change in its collateral-posting requirements as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
 
 
12.
 
Industry Segments
 
Occidental conducts its continuing operations through three segments: (1) oil and gas; (2) chemical; and (3) midstream, marketing and other (midstream and marketing).  The oil and gas segment explores for, develops, produces and markets crude oil, NGL and condensate (collectively “liquids”), and natural gas.  The chemical segment manufactures and markets basic chemicals, vinyls and other chemicals.  The midstream and marketing segment gathers, treats, processes, transports, stores, purchases and markets liquids, natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and power.  It also trades around its assets, including pipelines and storage capacity, and trades oil and gas, other commodities and commodity-related securities.
 
Earnings of industry segments generally exclude income taxes, interest income, interest expense, environmental remediation expenses, unallocated corporate expenses and discontinued operations, but include gains and losses from dispositions of segment assets and income from segment equity investments.

Earnings Per Share
 
Occidental’s instruments containing rights to nonforfeitable dividends granted in share-based payment transactions are considered participating securities prior to vesting, and, therefore, have been included in the earnings allocations in computing basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.
 
Basic EPS was computed by dividing net income attributable to common stock, net of income attributable to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, net of treasury shares and including vested but unissued shares and share units. The computation of diluted EPS further reflected the dilutive effect of stock options and unvested stock awards.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
   
Consolidated Results of Operations
 
Occidental (which means Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OPC) and/or one or more entities in which it owns a majority voting interest) reported net income of $1.5 billion for the first quarter of 2011 on net sales of $5.7 billion, compared to net income of $1.1 billion on net sales of $4.6 billion for the same period of 2010.  Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $1.90 for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $1.31 for the same period of 2010.  
 
The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, reflected higher crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) prices, higher volumes across all products in the oil and gas segment, and higher margins and volumes across most chemical products, including calcium chloride.  These increases were partly offset by higher oil and gas operating costs, depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) rates and lower domestic natural gas prices.
 
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included net after-tax charges of $44 million.  These items included pre-tax gains of $225 million from the sale of the Argentine operations and $22 million from the sale of an interest in a Colombian pipeline.  Pre-tax charges included $163 million related to the early redemption of $1.4 billion face value of debt, a $35 million write-off of the entire accumulated cost of exploration properties in Libya and non-recurring charges for state and foreign taxes of $62 million.  Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included after-tax charges of $33 million for discontinued operations.
 
Unless indicated otherwise, net income and EPS reflect net income attributable to common stock.
 
Selected Income Statement Items
 
The increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, reflected higher product prices and volumes across nearly all products in the oil and gas and chemical segments.
 
The increase in cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, reflected higher oil and gas operating costs, including increased workovers and maintenance activity and higher costs for energy, as well as higher DD&A rates.  The increase in interest and debt expense, net was mainly due to the $163 million early debt extinguishment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2011.
 
The increase in provision for domestic and foreign income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, was largely due to higher pre-tax income. In addition, the effective tax rate increased, caused by discrete foreign and state tax items in the three months ended March 31, 2011. The income from discontinued operations, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily reflected the $144 million after-tax gain recorded from the sale of the Argentine operations.
 
Selected Analysis of Financial Position
 
See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for discussion about the change in cash and cash equivalents.
 
The increase in trade receivables, net, reflected higher sales and the timing of increased oil prices in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.  The decrease in assets of discontinued operations was due to the sale of Occidental’s Argentine operations, which closed in February 2011.  The decrease in prepaid expenses and other reflects the closing of the South Texas acquisition in January 2011, for which a deposit was made in 2010.  The increase in property, plant and equipment, net, reflected capital expenditures of approximately $1.3 billion and acquisitions of $3.7 billion, partially offset by DD&A.

18
 
 
 
 

The increase in short-term borrowings reflected Occidental’s March 2011 borrowings of $1.0 billion.  The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to the increase in the price of crude oil for the first quarter of 2011, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.  Current and long-term liabilities of discontinued operations decreased due to the sale of Occidental’s Argentine operations.  The increase in accrued liabilities included the $500 million payment to be made in the second quarter of 2011 related to the Shah Field development project and mark-to-market activity for derivative financial instruments, partially offset by payments made on various year-end accruals.  The increase in domestic and foreign income taxes payable reflected higher income and the timing of estimated income tax payments. The decrease in long-term debt, net, reflected the first quarter 2011 early redemption of $1.4 billion of senior notes.  The increase in deferred and other domestic and foreign income taxes was due to higher capital expenditures.  The increase in stockholder’s equity reflected net income for the first three months of 2011, partially offset by dividend payments.
 
Segment Operations
 
Occidental conducts its continuing operations through three segments: (1) oil and gas; (2) chemical; and (3) midstream and marketing.  The oil and gas segment explores for, develops, produces and markets crude oil, NGL and condensate (collectively “liquids”), and natural gas.  The chemical segment manufactures and markets basic chemicals, vinyls and other chemicals.  The midstream and marketing segment gathers, treats, processes, transports, stores, purchases and markets liquids, natural gas, CO2 and power.  It also trades around its assets, including pipelines and storage capacity, and trades oil and gas, other commodities and commodity-related securities.

Oil and gas segment earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $2.5 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively.  The increase in oil and gas segment earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, reflected higher crude oil and NGL prices and higher volumes across all products, partially offset by higher operating costs, DD&A rates and lower domestic natural gas prices.
 
In the first quarter of 2011, the average West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price was $94.10 per barrel and the average New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) price for natural gas was $4.27 per million British Thermal Units (BTUs), compared to $78.71 per barrel and $5.39 per million BTUs, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010.  Occidental’s realized crude oil and NGL prices for the first quarter of 2011 were $92.14 per barrel and $52.64 per barrel, respectively, compared to $74.09 per barrel and $47.48 per barrel, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010.  Based on the current levels of production and prices, if domestic natural gas prices vary by $0.50 per million BTUs, it would have an estimated effect on quarterly pre-tax income of approximately $34 million, and a $1.00 per-barrel change in WTI prices would have an estimated quarterly pre-tax impact on crude oil and NGL earnings of approximately $34 million and $4 million, respectively.  If production levels change, the sensitivity of Occidental’s results to oil and gas prices also would change.
 
Oil and gas production in the first quarter of 2011 was 730,000 BOE per day, compared with 701,000 BOE per day (net of a noncontrolling interest) for the same period of 2010.  Volumes increased over four percent, primarily in domestic gas and NGL production and Middle East/North Africa crude oil volumes. The increase included 25,000 BOE per day from the acquisitions in South Texas in the first quarter of 2011 and the North Dakota Williston Basin in the fourth quarter of 2010. The Middle East/North Africa contribution to the increase included new production from Iraq and higher volumes from the Mukhaizna field in Oman.  Production was reduced by 12,000 BOE per day in the Middle East/North Africa, Long Beach and Colombia as a result of higher year-over-year average oil prices affecting production sharing and similar contracts.  Dolphin and Elk Hills volumes were also lower due to planned maintenance and production shutdowns in the first quarter of 2011.  Daily sales volumes increased over six percent from 685,000 BOE per day (net of a noncontrolling interest) in the first quarter of 2010 to 728,000 BOE per day in the first quarter of 2011.  Sales volumes generally differ from production volumes due to the timing of liftings in Occidental’s international operations.  An increase in oil prices of $5.00 per barrel from the first quarter 2011 levels would result in approximately 3,500 BOE per day lower production due to the impact of higher prices affecting Occidental’s production sharing and similar contracts.

22
 
 
 
 

Oil and gas cash production costs, excluding production and property taxes, increased from $10.19 per BOE for the total year 2010 to $11.30 per BOE for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase for the three months of 2011 reflected increased workovers and maintenance activity and higher costs for energy.  Taxes other than on income, which are directly related to product prices, were $2.25 per BOE for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $1.83 per BOE for the total year 2010.
 
In the first quarter of 2011, Occidental acquired a 40-percent participating interest in the Shah Field high sulfur content gas development project in Abu Dhabi.  Occidental partnered with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in a 30-year joint venture agreement for the $10 billion project, of which Occidental’s portion is approximately $4 billion.  Accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2011 in the accompanying balance sheet included Occidental’s approximately $500 million share of development expenditures incurred by the project prior to the date the final agreement was signed.
 
In the first quarter of 2011, Occidental paid approximately $3.0 billion for acquisitions, which included oil and gas properties in South Texas, California and the Permian Basin.
 
In December 2010, Occidental executed an agreement with a subsidiary of China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) to sell its Argentine oil and gas operations for after-tax proceeds of approximately $2.6 billion.  Occidental recorded a pre-tax gain of $225 million when the sale closed in February 2011.
 
Occidental has ceased its exploration activity in Libya due to the ongoing political unrest there and sanctions imposed by the United States government.  As a result, Occidental wrote off the entire amount of the capitalized and suspended exploration costs incurred to date, including lease acquisition costs, of approximately $35 million.  The producing fields in Libya are operated by Libyan companies and the impact of the current situation on those operations is uncertain at this time.  Further, United States sanctions imposed in February 2011 currently prevent Occidental from participating in these operations.  The net book value of Occidental’s Libyan producing properties at March 31, 2011 was $839 million.  At December 31, 2010, these properties had net proved reserves estimated at 57 million barrels, approximately 2 percent of Occidental’s total proved reserves.  Occidental Libya’s 2010 sales and production volumes were 13,000 BOE per day, representing less than 2 percent of Occidental’s worldwide volumes.  Going forward, Occidental will not report any production from Libya until the sanctions are no longer in effect and the conditions permit.  Occidental’s Libyan operations, excluding exploration costs, had $25 million and $31 million of after-tax income and cash flows, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Chemical Segment
 
Chemical segment earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $219 million and $30 million, respectively.  Results of the first quarter of 2011 reflect strong export sales, higher margins resulting from improved supply and demand balances across most products, including calcium chloride, and lower energy costs.
 
Midstream, Marketing and Other Segment
 
Midstream and marketing segment earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $114 million and $94 million, respectively.  Earnings for the first quarter of 2011 reflected increased income from the pipeline business and higher margins in the marketing and trading business, partially offset by lower margins in the gas processing business.
 
Corporate
 
In February 2011, Occidental initiated redemption of all of its $1.0 billion 7-percent senior notes due 2013 and all of its $368 million 6.75-percent senior notes due 2012.  Occidental recorded a $163 million pre-tax charge upon completion of the redemption in March 2011.  In March 2011, Occidental borrowed $1.0 billion for short term cash needs.  The full amount was repaid in April 2011.

23
 
 
 
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At March 31, 2011, Occidental had approximately $2.1 billion in cash on hand and available but unused committed bank credit facilities of approximately $1.5 billion. Income and cash flows are largely dependent on crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices and volumes, all of which, except domestic natural gas prices, increased in the first three months of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010. Occidental believes that cash on hand and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund its operating needs and planned capital expenditures, dividends and any debt payments.
 
Occidental’s cash flow from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $2.2 billion for each period.  Net income increased $0.4 billion from $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to $1.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was offset by the timing of cash collections in both periods resulting in a working capital build-up in the first quarter of 2011.  In the first three months of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, Occidental's average worldwide realized prices for crude oil and NGL were 24 percent and 11 percent higher, respectively, while the average realized natural gas price decreased 25 percent in the U.S., where approximately 63 percent of Occidental’s natural gas was produced.  The overall impact of the chemical and midstream and marketing segments’ margins on cash flow changes was less significant than the impact of the oil and gas segment changes because the chemical and midstream and marketing segments are significantly smaller.
 
Occidental’s net cash used by investing activities was $1.7 billion for the first three months of 2011, compared to $1.1 billion for the same period of 2010.  The 2011 amount included payments of $3.0 billion for acquisitions of various interests in domestic oil and gas properties and $2.6 billion of cash received from the sale of the Argentine discontinued operations.  The 2010 amount included cash payments for foreign contracts and acquisitions of various oil and gas interests of $299 million.  Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2011 were $1.3 billion, including $1.2 billion for oil and gas.  Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2010 were $768 million, including $602 million for oil and gas.
 
Occidental’s net cash used by financing activities was $959 million in the first three months of 2011, compared to $491 million used for the same period of 2010.  The 2011 amount included the early repayment of Occidental’s debt of $1.5 billion, short-term borrowings of $1.0 billion, dividend payments of $310 million and $121 million of distributions paid to a noncontrolling interest partner.  The 2010 amount included payments of debt of $227 million and dividend payments of $269 million.
 
As of March 31, 2011, under the most restrictive covenants of its financing agreements, Occidental had substantial capacity for additional unsecured borrowings, the payment of cash dividends and other distributions on, or acquisitions of, Occidental stock.
 
Occidental’s capital spending estimate for 2011 is approximately $6.8 billion and Occidental will focus on the goal of keeping Occidental’s returns well above its cost of capital.
 
Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures
 
Occidental’s operations are subject to stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to improving or maintaining environmental quality.  Occidental’s environmental compliance costs have generally increased over time and could continue to rise in the future.  Occidental factors environmental expenditures for its operations into its business planning process as an integral part of producing quality products responsive to market demand.
 
The laws that require or address environmental remediation, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and similar federal, state, local and foreign laws, may apply retroactively and regardless of fault, the legality of the original activities or the current ownership or control of sites.  OPC 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.

24
 
 
 
 

As of March 31, 2011, Occidental participated in or monitored remedial activities or proceedings at 168 sites.  The following table presents Occidental’s environmental remediation reserves as of March 31, 2011, the current portion of which is included in accrued liabilities ($78 million) and the remainder in deferred credits and other liabilities — other ($296 million).  The reserves are grouped as environmental remediation sites listed or proposed for listing by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on the CERCLA National Priorities List (NPL sites) and three categories of non-NPL sites — third-party sites, Occidental-operated sites and closed or non-operated Occidental sites.

As of March 31, 2011, Occidental’s environmental reserves exceeded $10 million at 13 of the 168 sites described above, and 120 of the sites had reserves from $0 to $1 million each.  Occidental expects to expend funds corresponding to approximately half of the current environmental reserves over the next four years and the balance over the subsequent ten or more years.  Occidental believes its range of reasonably possible additional loss beyond those liabilities recorded for environmental remediation at the sites described above could be up to $375 million.  The status of Occidental’s involvement with the sites and related significant assumptions have not changed materially since December 31, 2010.
 
Refer to the “Environmental Liabilities and Expenditures” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Occidental’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information regarding Occidental’s environmental expenditures.
 
Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments, Contingencies and Related Matters
 
OPC or certain of its subsidiaries are named, 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, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief.  OPC or certain of its subsidiaries also have been named in proceedings under CERCLA and similar federal, state, local and foreign 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; however, Occidental is usually one of many companies in these proceedings and has to date been successful in sharing response costs with other financially sound companies.  The ultimate amount of losses and the timing of any such losses that Occidental may incur resulting from currently outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings cannot be determined reliably at this time.  Occidental accrues reserves for all of these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the liability can be reasonably estimated.  Reserve balances as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were not material to Occidental's consolidated balance sheets.  Occidental also evaluates the amount of reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur as a result of the matters mentioned above.  Occidental has disclosed its range of reasonably possible losses for sites where it is a participant in environmental remediation.  Occidental believes that other reasonably possible additional losses that it could incur in excess of reserves accrued on the balance sheet would not be material to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
During the course of its operations, Occidental is subject to audit by tax authorities for varying periods in various federal, state, local and foreign tax jurisdictions.  While the audits of corporate tax returns for taxable years through 2008 have concluded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the 2009 and 2010 taxable years are currently under review by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service pursuant to its Compliance Assurance Program.  Taxable years from 2000 through the current year remain subject to examination by foreign and state government tax authorities in certain jurisdictions.  In certain of these jurisdictions, tax authorities are in various stages of auditing Occidental’s income taxes.  During the course of tax audits, disputes have arisen and other

disputes may arise as to facts and matters of law.  Occidental believes that the resolution of outstanding tax matters would not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
Occidental has indemnified various parties against specified liabilities that 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 March 31, 2011, Occidental is not aware of circumstances that it believes would reasonably be expected to lead to future indemnity claims against it in connection with these transactions that would result in payments materially in excess of reserves.

Safe Harbor Statement Regarding Outlook and Forward-Looking Information
 
Portions of this report 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; international political conditions; 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 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.  Words such as “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “might”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “intend”, “believe”, “expect” or similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes generally indicate forward-looking statements.  You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  Unless legally required, Occidental does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Material risks that may affect Occidental’s results of operations and financial position appear in Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the 2010 Form 10-K.

Controls and Procedures
   
Occidental's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer supervised and participated in Occidental's evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, Occidental's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Occidental's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011.
