Forward-Looking StatementsPortions 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. Actual results may differ from anticipated results, sometimes materially, and reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. Factors that could cause results to differ include, but are not limited to: global commodity pricing fluctuations; supply and demand considerations for Occidental's products; higher-than-expected costs; the regulatory approval environment; not successfully completing, or any material delay of, field developments, expansion projects, capital expenditures, efficiency projects, acquisitions or dispositions; uncertainties about the estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves; lower-than-expected production from development projects or acquisitions; exploration risks; general economic slowdowns domestically or internationally; political conditions and events; liability under environmental regulations including remedial actions; litigation; disruption or interruption of production or manufacturing or facility damage due to accidents, chemical releases, labor unrest, weather, natural disasters, cyber attacks or insurgent activity; failure of risk management; changes in law or regulations; reorganization or restructuring of Occidental's operations; or changes in tax rates. Words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect,” “aim,” “goal,” “target,” “objective,” “likely” or similar expressions that convey the prospective nature of 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 presentation. 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 I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of the 2016 Form 10-K.

Differentiated Value-Based Approach
• More Oil
• Less Cost
• Better Inventory
Creating shareholder value over the long-term
• Culture of innovative technology and process– Subsurface characterization– Integrated development planning– Oxy Drilling Dynamics– Innovative facility designs – Long-term base management– Enhanced reservoir recovery
• Early adoption of external trends– Big data, analytics, and mobile workforce– Multi-lateral wells (SL2)– Crude export facility
• Innovative cost efficiency strategies– Logistic and Maintenance hubs – OBO portfolio and investments

Pathway:> Grow high margin production with low
capital intensity
> Continue to invest in low decline, free cash flow businesses at low cost
> Accelerate cash flows from the tail of the portfolio to fund production growth
> Advance value-based development approach with technology
Executing a plan to fund a growing dividend and 5% – 8% growth at $50 WTI.
Pathway to Cashflow Breakeven
Milestones:> 80 Mboed of production growth
> Ample options to self-fund growth
• ~$2.2Bn = South Texas, tax refund, PAGP
• +“Win-win” Trades, Partnerships, Sales
Accelerators:> Improving conditions in Midstream and
