CDP Climate Change 2017 Information Request Occidental Petroleum Corporation Module: Introduction Page: Introduction CC0.1 Introduction Please give a general description and introduction to your organization. Occidental Petroleum Corporation's (Oxy's) principal businesses consist of three segments: (1) oil and gas exploration and production; (2) midstream and marketing; and, (3) chemicals (OxyChem). The oil and gas segment explores for, develops and produces crude oil and condensate, natural gas liquids (NGL) and natural gas. The midstream and marketing segment gathers, processes, transports, stores, purchases and markets oil, condensate, NGLs, natural gas and carbon dioxide (CO2), and generates power. OxyChem is a leading manufacturer of PVC resins, vinyls, chlorine and caustic soda key building blocks to life-enhancing products such as pharmaceuticals, water treatment chemicals, building materials and plastics. Everywhere we operate, Oxy applies a robust environmental risk management approach and operational practices to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, even while expanding our production. Oil and natural gas operations are the core of Oxy s business. Our exploration and production activities are concentrated in three geographic regions: the United States, the Middle East and Latin America. In each of these regions, we focus on shorter-cycle and long-lived oil and gas assets where we can increase production by applying appropriate technology and advanced reservoir management practices. We believe that using existing infrastructure -- and avoiding, in many cases, the need to develop greenfield land, build new roads, pipelines and storage and processing facilities -- to recover additional oil and gas from existing fields provides significant life-cycle environmental benefits. Oxy s CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques for increased oil production is a key competitive advantage for the company. Oxy is an industry leader in applying this technology. CO2 EOR can have environmental benefits. Much of the CO2 purchased to implement the CO2 flood ultimately becomes permanently and safely trapped in the underground oil reservoir contributing to the reduction of future greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. Each year we inject more than 700 billion cubic feet of CO2 into oil reservoirs in the Permian Basin, making Oxy the largest injector of CO2 for EOR in the Permian Basin, and among the largest globally. CC0.2 Reporting Year 1

Further Information Module: Management Page: CC1. Governance CC1.1 Where is the highest level of direct responsibility for climate change within your organization? Board or individual/sub-set of the Board or other committee appointed by the Board CC1.1a Please identify the position of the individual or name of the committee with this responsibility The Environmental, Health and Safety Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing Oxy's management of issues regarding greenhouse gas emissions. This Committee is comprised of six independent directors and meets five times each year. It provides Board-level oversight on health, environmental, 3

climate change and safety issues. The Board supports Oxy s efforts to enhance energy efficiency of operations, control emissions of GHG and air pollutants, and to engage and educate stockholders and other public parties through voluntary reporting on Oxy s environmental stewardship. CC1.2 Do you provide incentives for the management of climate change issues, including the attainment of targets? Yes CC1.2a Please provide further details on the incentives provided for the management of climate change issues Who is entitled to benefit from these incentives? The type of incentives Incentivized performance indicator Comment All employees Monetary reward Emissions reduction project Energy reduction project Efficiency project Behavior change related indicator Environmental criteria included in purchases Oxy seeks to meet its strategic goals by continually measuring its success in its key performance metrics that drive total stockholder return. In addition to production growth and capital allocation and deployment, Oxy incorporates a range of health, environmental, safety and process metrics. All employees Recognition (non-monetary) Emissions reduction project Energy reduction project Efficiency project Behavior change related indicator Environmental criteria Oxy's "On-the-Spot" recognition program rewards employees who demonstrate core values, promote a positive team environment and contribute to Oxy s success. 4

Who is entitled to benefit from these incentives? The type of incentives Incentivized performance indicator Comment included in purchases Further Information Page: CC2. Strategy CC2.1 Please select the option that best describes your risk management procedures with regard to climate change risks and opportunities Integrated into multi-disciplinary company wide risk management processes CC2.1a Please provide further details on your risk management procedures with regard to climate change risks and opportunities Frequency of monitoring To whom are results reported? Geographical areas considered How far into the future are risks considered? Comment Annually Board or individual/sub-set of the Board or committee appointed by the Board all 1 to 3 years Internal corporate engagement and discussion of longer-term risks and opportunities, particularly with regard to carbon and fossil fuels regulations, are reported to the Board and the Environmental, Health and Safety Committee. 5

CC2.1b Please describe how your risk and opportunity identification processes are applied at both company and asset level Oxy's Health, Environment and Safety Management System provides a rigorous methodology to help the company identify and assess specific environmental, social and operational impacts across all our businesses with regard to climate risk, community resiliency and changes to regulatory frameworks. At the asset level, Oxy integrates climate change issues into business decision making through a multi-disciplinary committee of managers, several of whom meet directly with Oxy's Board Committee. Taking into consideration a range of energy scenarios, Oxy factors carbon pricing and energy intensity assumptions to understand a range of risk around commodity prices, returns on capital, and the risks and opportunities of GHG abatement and CO2 utilization options. The scope of this assessment includes the consideration of international accords, treaties, legislation, regulation and fiscal policy initiatives that may affect the raw materials, other inputs and costs to produce our products, and the demand for and the restrictions on the use of our products. The process of risk evaluation also includes potential physical and social impacts relating to severe weather events and disruption due to proximity to flood-prone and water-stressed areas. Opportunity evaluation includes the commoditization, marketing or beneficial use of low-carbon energy supplies, GHGs including CCS and CCUS. Oxy s mitigation of GHG emissions include utilizing CO2 injection for enhanced oil recovery in concert with CCS as a means of permanently sequestering CO2 and the potential to mitigate greater amounts of CO2 through the expansion of CCS/CCUS. The U.S. Government and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) both support CCUS as part of a suite of pathways to reduce anthropogenic carbon emissions. Crucially, the IPCC and International Energy Agency project that most climate change models cannot meet the 1.5-2 degrees Celsius global warming scenarios without using CCUS technologies. CC2.1c How do you prioritize the risks and opportunities identified? Health, Environment and Safety (HES) risk management policies, standards and procedures are in-place at all operating locations and levels of the organization to identify, prioritize and apply feasible risk mitigation options. The company's Risk Management Community of Practice leverages the collective expertise of the company's professionals to share opportunities for improvement. Higher-level risks are reported, validated by business segment management and reviewed annually with senior management and the Environmental, Health and Safety Committee of the Board of Directors, assuring that HES risk management is among Oxy's highest priorities. These risks undergo rigorous analysis to identify, prioritize and implement appropriate mitigation measures that are designed to improve performance. Our risk management approach facilitates compliance with laws and regulations and the management of HES and social responsibility risks to improve overall business performance. It encourages individual responsibility, values quantifiable results and promotes communication among employees, contractors, neighboring communities, government authorities and other stakeholders. Opportunities are considered at the facility, business unit or corporate level, as appropriate, and are risk-weighted and prioritized with all other value creating opportunities using strategic and commercial business indicators consistent with our overall goal of maximizing total returns to stockholders. CC2.1d Please explain why you do not have a process in place for assessing and managing risks and opportunities from climate change, and whether you plan to introduce such a process in future 6

Main reason for not having a process Do you plan to introduce a process? Comment CC2.2 Is climate change integrated into your business strategy? Yes CC2.2a Please describe the process of how climate change is integrated into your business strategy and any outcomes of this process Our business decision-making process integrates climate change-related issues with other business priorities to help us effectively manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the social and economic impacts of Oxy s energy use and further the company's commitment to be an efficient, low-cost producer of oil and gas and commodity chemicals. Efforts to mitigate or adapt to climate change while maintaining cost-effective energy and chemicals supplies and the reliable, energy-efficient production of electricity present both challenges and opportunities for society and for Oxy. Our longstanding policy is to seek continuous improvement in resource recovery, conservation, pollution prevention and energy efficiency. Oxy integrates climate change issues into our business decisions through a team of managers and employees, with oversight from the Board of Directors' Environmental, Health and Safety Committee. The process to integrate climate issues into the business strategy is multi-tiered, occurring at the corporate, business unit and facility levels. It involves a cross-section of staff and management at all three tiers. Oxy also engages with investors, industry working groups, NGOs and other experts to assess their input. Financial implications are assessed considering current and estimated future costs and prices for energy, raw materials and electricity, demand for fossil fuels and emission fees and permits. Oxy incorporates these considerations into business decision-making through management meetings. Our business strategy includes the risk and opportunity aspects associated with climate change, such as physical, regulatory changes, commercial and reputational. Disclosure of this process is found in the Occidental Annual Report, Form 10-K and at its Social Responsibility website. Oxy publishes information on our approach to reserves estimation and capital planning and allocation. The process used to estimate oil and gas reserves includes economic feasibility at the prevailing commodity prices; changes in proved reserves, including downward revisions of previous estimates due to changes in economic conditions. Oxy provides an Industry Outlook that identifies factors influencing the price of Oxy s products. Also considered are the actions of governments, such as actual or proposed international, national, regional and state GHG control measures, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published scenarios and the recommendations of quasigovernment agencies such as the Financial Stability Board s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (FSB TCFD). Outcomes of this process to integrate climate change considerations into our business strategy help inform our active engagement with institutional stockholders, state and national-level regulators, environmental groups and other public stakeholders addressing climate risks. We work with governments, companies, peer companies in our industry sector and civil society organisations to facilitate the development of viable global policies and regulatory frameworks. The engagement with these stakeholders has initiated a constructive dialogue. Oxy participates in domestic and international industry initiatives, such as the IPIECA Task Force on 7

Climate Change and the Global Carbon Capture and Storage Institute that focus on GHG mitigation solutions and global climate change-related risks and opportunities. CC2.2b Please explain why climate change is not integrated into your business strategy CC2.2c Does your company use an internal price on carbon? Yes CC2.2d Please provide details and examples of how your company uses an internal price on carbon Oxy has integrated certain carbon pricing scenarios into the economic valuations of our proven reserves and to test our portfolio. Oxy has developed annual GHG price forecasts for companywide use in long-range planning and new project investment-related evaluations. The impacts of carbon pricing, among other considerations, on new investment projects are reviewed in light of the specific investment criteria, operating context and life-cycle of the project. If a carbon regulation is in effect in a particular country where we are doing business, the cost of carbon is part of the base financial analysis. Example: Oxy is a global leader in the application of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) using carbon dioxide (CO2 ) to generate growth of its production and reserves. Operating more than 30 active CO2 EOR projects, Oxy injects over 700 billion cubic feet of CO2 each year. CO2 represents a current operating cost to Oxy s EOR business and a future business opportunity to realize revenues from carbon capture and from the utilization of other anthropogenic sources of CO2. Oxy prices the cost of CO2 recycled from its own resources and the purchase price of additional supply of CO2 from industrial producers and commercial suppliers. Under 45Q of the current Internal Revenue Code, there is a credit of $10 per metric ton of qualified CO2 that is captured as a tertiary injectant in a qualified EOR project, and disposed of in secure geological storage. In 2016, Oxy gained first-ever approval from the U.S. EPA to use a Measuring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) Plan to measure and account for the amount of greenhouse gases that are injected and sequestered safely underground through our CO2 EOR operations in West Texas. Since then, Oxy has received approval for a second MRV Plan at an additional CO2 facility. CC2.3 Do you engage in activities that could either directly or indirectly influence public policy on climate change through any of the following? (tick all that apply) 8

Direct engagement with policy makers Trade associations Other CC2.3a On what issues have you been engaging directly with policy makers? Focus of legislation Corporate Position Details of engagement Proposed legislative solution Adaptation resiliency Mandatory carbon reporting Regulation of methane emissions Support Support with minor exceptions Neutral Oxy engages the U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, among other agencies, to explain our use of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations. Oxy received approval from the U.S. Government for a first-of-its-kind Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) Plan that quantifies the amount of CO2 sequestered during CO2 EOR. The MRV Plan compliments our statutory GHG emissions reporting to the EPA. Oxy works with the National Enhanced Oil Recovery Initiative (NEORI) to support Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) incentive legislation and fiscal policies to spur commercial deployment of technologies to enable the capture of anthropogenic CO2 and the permanent and safe geologic storing of CO2 underground. Oxy engages the U.S. EPA and associated state-level agencies on the EPA Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), both directly and through its trade associations. Oxy monitors changes in applicable regulations, comments on technology, management systems for collecting and reporting data and provides information on testing and data collection to improve the GHGRP requirements and accuracy of the data collected. Oxy is an active and longstanding voluntary participant in the U.S. EPA Natural GasSTAR program and the Global Methane Initiative. Working collaboratively with the EPA, Oxy has helped to develop the GasSTAR Program guidelines, tested practices and technology and has implemented solutions aimed to reduce fugitive methane emissions. Oxy also engaged with EPA during the development of its recently promulgated methane emission rulemaking by offering technical data and ideas for improving the effectiveness of the rules. Advocacy to support legislation to make the existing federal CCUS incentive permanent so greater amounts of anthropogenic CO2 will be captured and sequestered during CO2 EOR operations, thereby reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Oxy works through its trade associations and independently with the U.S. EPA. The U.S. EPA, the federal Bureau of Land Management and their counterparts have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, regulations to further regulate methane emissions. 9

Focus of legislation Corporate Position Details of engagement Proposed legislative solution Carbon tax Neutral Oxy watches and monitors closely the proposed legislative and/or fiscal measures with regards to an explicit price on carbon. Any approach to regulating GHG emissions should be holistic. Oxy does not support legislative proposals that regulate some sectors while omitting others. Any legislative decision to impose mandatory GHG emission controls must be holistic and applied to all direct and indirect emitters of GHGs. CC2.3b Are you on the Board of any trade associations or provide funding beyond membership? Yes CC2.3c Please enter the details of those trade associations that are likely to take a position on climate change legislation Trade association Is your position on climate change consistent with theirs?

AXPC engages with EPA to improve the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Framework standards and its leak detection and repair program methodologies for reducing GHG emissions. NEORI was formed to help realize CO2-EOR s full potential as an energy security, economic, and environmental strategy. NEORI advocates for carbon capture through EOR and by supporting legislation to expand and reform the Section 45Q federal tax credit. Oxy is an active member of the TXOGA. Oxy is an active member of the AXPC. Oxy is an active member of the NEORI. CC2.3d Do you publicly disclose a list of all the research organizations that you fund? CC2.3e Please provide details of the other engagement activities that you undertake Oxy engages with and belongs to the Global CCS Institute. Global CCS Institute is an international membership organization to accelerate the development, demonstration and deployment of carbon capture and storage, by sharing expertise, building capacity and providing advice and support so that this vital technology can play its part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Institute s membership consists of governments, private-sector companies, research bodies and nongovernment organizations committed to CCS as an integral pathway to a low-carbon future. Oxy is a member company to IPIECA, the global oil and gas industry association for environmental and social issues. Through IPIECA, Oxy is helping industry be part of the climate change solution by developing industry-relevant guidelines on GHG reporting, best practices on energy efficiency and GHG emissions management. IPIECA members meet several times each year and convene expert workshops to explore key climate-related issues, informing a broad base of global stakeholders such as government agencies and the UN Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). 11

CC2.3f What processes do you have in place to ensure that all of your direct and indirect activities that influence policy are consistent with your overall climate change strategy? Oxy s participation in trade associations and other advocacy organizations is regularly evaluated based primarily on the value each association provides to help advance our corporate near and long-term interests. Trade association policy and advocacy positions typically reflect a consensus among members of the association with wide ranging interests and areas of focus. Oxy does not necessarily share or endorse every position taken by every trade association to which it belongs. Occidental's Board of Directors and the Government Affairs Committee approves Oxy s membership in any advocacy group or trade organizations that require or would require annual dues payments in excess of $50,000. CC2.3g Please explain why you do not engage with policy makers Further Information Page: CC3.

Oxy does not believe that setting absolute GHG emission reduction goals is an effective way for an oil, gas and chemical company to supply life-essential products while responsibly managing climate risks. Oxy will continue to report publicly and transparently on its overall GHG emissions management and environmental stewardship programs. As the company engages with its stockholders and representatives of relevant government and regulatory agencies on effective ways to mitigate and adapt to climate change, Oxy s position on the relevance and effectiveness of emissions target(s) may evolve. (ii) Oxy is committed to responsible environmental stewardship throughout its operations. We consistently assess and manage our GHG emissions and pursue continuous improvement in the efficient production of oil and gas and commodity chemicals. Oxy will pursue lower carbon intensive sources of energy including renewable energy sources that leverage the company s strengths and that can be deployed with competitive economic returns. CC3.2 14

Do you classify any of your existing goods and/or services as low carbon products or do they enable a third party to avoid GHG emissions? Yes CC3.2a Please provide details of your products and/or services that you classify as low carbon products or that enable a third party to avoid GHG emissions Level of aggregation Description of product/group of products Are you reporting low carbon product/s or avoided emissions? Taxonomy, project or methodology used to classify product/s as low carbon or to calculate avoided emissions % revenue from low carbon product/s in the reporting year % R&D in low carbon product/s in the reporting year Comment Group of products Companywide By using CO2 injection with other EOR technologies, Oxy has been able to recover significantly more of the oil in place in existing reservoirs, thereby increasing the productivity and lengthening the life of existing fields. Essentially all injected CO2 becomes sequestered in the oil and gas reservoir.

In the U.S., at the federal and state level, Oxy is required to identify certain GHG emissions in greater detail than previously required. The U.S. EPA regulates methane as a GHG under the new source performance standards ( Subpart OOOO ). In the U.S., Oxy could be subject to federal legislation that could impact fuel/energy prices or the demand for these products or impose additional energy taxes.
