Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - Oil & Gas Reserves
 Very successful year in growing the Company’s reserve base, by
 adding substantially more reserves than we produced, over 90%
 of which was added through our organic development program.
 Based on a preliminary estimate of year-end 2013 reserve levels:
  Ended 2013 with ~3.5 B barrels of reserves, an all-time high for Oxy.
  Total reserve replacement ratio from all categories before dispositions
 was ~168%, or ~470 MMBOE of new reserves, compared with ~278 MMBOE
 of 2013 production.
  In the U.S., reserve replacement ratio was ~190%.
  Replacement ratios of the California and Permian non-CO2 properties were
 similar to the overall company ratio.
  Reserve replacement ratio for liquids from all categories was 195% for the
 total company and 228% domestically; reflects our emphasis on oil drilling.
 Total costs incurred related to the total reserve additions for
 the year, on a preliminary basis, were ~$7.7 billion.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - Oil & Gas Reserves
 Built a large portfolio of growth oriented assets in the U.S.
 In 2013, we spent a much larger portion of our investment
 dollars on the development of this portfolio.
 Our organic reserve replacement for 2013 reflects the
 positive results of the development program:
  Our 2013 development program, excluding acquisitions, replaced
 ~169% of our domestic production with ~291 MMBOE of reserve adds.
  In addition, we transferred ~115 MMBOE of proved undeveloped
 reserves to the proved developed category domestically as a result
 of the 2013 development program.
  2013 acquisitions were at a multi-year low of $550 mm providing
 reserve additions of 32 MMBOE.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - Oil & Gas Reserves
 At year end 2013, ~73% of total proved reserves were liquids,
 increasing from 72% in 2012.
  Of the total reserves, ~70% were proved developed reserves, compared
 to 73% in 2012.
  Increase in the share of proved undeveloped reserves compared to
 2012 was the result of reserves added for the Al Hosn Gas Project.
  We expect to move these reserves to the proved developed category
 at the end of this year once initial production starts in 4Q14.
 Through success of our drilling program and capital efficiency
 initiatives, we lowered our F&D costs over recent years.
 As a result, we expect our DD&A expense to be ~$17.40 per
 barrel in 2014, only a small increase from $17.10 in 2013.
  Consistent with our expectations that the DD&A rate of growth should
 flatten out as recent investments come online and F&D costs come down.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - Oil & Gas Reserves
 Success of our organic reserve additions and the efficiencies
 we have achieved in our operations demonstrates the
 significant progress we have made in turning the Company
 into a competitive domestic producer.
 One of our long-term goals domestically has been to achieve
 a 50% pretax margin after F&D and cash operating costs to
 generate solid returns.
 We believe we are achieving that now and expect to continue
 to do so going forward.

10
Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - ROCE
 Our focus in 2013 was to enhance
 shareholder value through our results.
 Heavily focused on growing domestic
 oil production, improving our capital
 efficiency and F&D costs and lowering
 our operating costs.
 We met or exceeded all of these goals
 and as a result, we increased our ROCE
 to 12.2%, a significant improvement
 from the 10.3% level in 2012.
 Expect to see further improvement in
 our returns in coming years as a result of
 recent investments.
 Our 2014 program is designed to
 continue and improve upon last
 year’s strong performance.

 An additional $100 mm will be spent in
 these and other U.S. assets for facilities
 projects that were deferred from 2013.
 The domestic oil and gas program will
 focus on growing oil production and the
 entire increase in capital will go to oil
 projects.
 Continue to fund growth opportunities in
 key international assets, mainly in Oman
 and Qatar ($300 mm of additional capital),
 and will complete the Al Hosn Gas Project.
 Exploration capital will increase ~$100 mm.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings -
2014 Production Outlook
 We expect our 2014 total company
 production volumes to grow to
 780 - 790 mboe/d vs. 763 mboe/d in
 2013, with a 4Q14 exit rate of over
 800 mboe/d, excluding the planned
 Al Hosn production.
 This increase will come almost entirely
 from domestic oil production while we
 expect to see a continued modest drop
 in our domestic gas volumes.
 Domestic oil production is expected
 to grow from 266 mb/d in 2013 to
 280 - 295 mb/d in 2014, or ~9%.
 This growth will come fairly evenly
 from our CA and Permian operations.
 Internationally, excluding Al Hosn,
 we expect production to grow slightly.

2014 Production Outlook
 While the elements of the 2014 program as discussed
 assume no changes to the Company structure or its mix
 of assets, we do expect the Company to look significantly
 different by the end of the year.
 The strategic review we are undertaking will result in
 significant changes to the Company’s asset mix.
 Our capital program, production expectations and other
 elements of the 2014 program will be adjusted as related
 transactions are concluded.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings -
Long-term Growth Investments
 Some of the longer lead time investments we have been
 making over the past couple of years will start contributing
 to our results this year.
 Specifically:
 Ø The Al Hosn Gas Project is expected to start its initial
 production in 4Q’14 and start contributing to our cash flow.
 Ø We expect the BridgeTex pipeline to come online around
 3Q’14 and start contributing to our Midstream earnings
 and cash flow.
 Ø The New Johnsonville chlor-alkali plant is expected to come
 online early in the year and will make a positive contribution
 to the operations of our chemical business.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - Strategic Review
16
 With respect to the initiatives outlined in the first phase
 of the Company’s strategic review announced last year:
  We completed the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in
 the General Partner of the Plains All-American Pipeline in October
 resulting in pre-tax proceeds of $1.4 billion. After this sale, we continue
 to hold a ~25% interest, which at current market prices would be valued
 at ~$3.7 billion.
  We have made steady progress on discussions with key partners in the
 countries we operate in the MENA region for the sale of a minority interest
 in our operations there. Due to the scale and complexities of a potential
 transaction, we expect these discussions to continue through 1H’14.
  We have also made good progress in our pursuit of strategic alternatives
 for select Midcontinent assets. We expect to provide further information
 on any transactions as they conclude around the end of 2Q’14 and will
 announce material developments as they occur.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - Capitalization
 In 4Q’13, we used the Plains proceeds to retire $625 mm of
 debt, reducing our debt load by ~9%, and to purchase almost
 10 mm shares of the Company’s stock with a cash outlay of
 $880 mm.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Earnings - Summary
18
 At the Board’s February meeting we will review the Company’s
 dividend policy, status of the strategic alternatives and share
 repurchase authority.
 Many of the steps we have taken in 2013, our success in
 improving our efficiency and the actions that our Board
 has authorized, lay the groundwork for strong results in
 2014 and beyond.
 The operational improvements we expect to achieve in 2014,
 coupled with the strategic actions we expect to execute this
 year should place the Company in a position to improve its
 returns while continuing to grow and increase its dividends
 to maximize shareholder value.

 Drilled 49 horizontal wells with
 47 completed and producing.
 Improvements in well costs,
 our own results and those of
 neighboring operators have
 given us the confidence to
 dramatically shift our program
 to more horizontal drilling in
 2014.
 2014 Goal: Continue the
 evaluation of the potential
 across our full acreage position.
 2014 Goal: Pilot various
 development strategies, including
 optimal lateral length, frac design
 and well spacing both laterally
 and vertically.

 Believe we have one of the most promising and
 under-exploited unconventional portfolio in the basin.
 In 2013, added 200K net prospective acres to our
 unconventional portfolio, and now have ~1.9 mm
 prospective acres.
 Exposure to all unconventional plays, which is
 unique and will give us flexibility to develop our
 most attractive opportunities first, and mitigate risks.
 Identified ~4,500 drilling locations representing
 1.2+ billion net barrels of resource potential.
 Believe we have made conservative assumptions
 regarding prospective acres, well spacing and
 expected ultimate recoveries and expect these
 numbers will grow as we learn more.

 We see the largest near-term growth in the
 Midland Basin, which represents ~ 2/3 of
 our currently assessed resource potential.
 Our Delaware Basin prospective acreage is
 significantly larger, and the potential there
 should continue to grow.
 We believe our measured approach to our
 unconventional portfolio has worked to our
 advantage.
 Our Permian Resources production comes
 from ~9,500 gross wells, of which 54% are
 operated by other producers. On a net basis,
 we have 4,400 wells of which only 15% are
 non-operated.
 This has given us the opportunity to observe
 the results achieved by other operators in
 the Basin, learn from those results and
 optimize our approach to maximize the
 opportunity set on our acreage.

 The success of our capital and
 operating cost efficiency efforts
 in 2013, has also enabled us to
 significantly improve our cost
 structure which has increased
 our opportunity set.
 For example, a typical well in the
 Collie area that had IRR of 24%
 before our capital and operating
 cost reductions, now yields IRR of
 48% using the same product prices.
 We achieved similar success in all
 of our most active areas across the
 business unit.

 Key objective is to lower the high decline
 rate; significant progress toward this goal.
 2014 capital of $600 mm to drill ~325 wells,
 an increase of $170 mm over 2013.
 ~55% of capital will be targeting shale
 reservoirs where capital efficiency efforts
 in 2013 had a significant impact.
 Achieved a 23% decline in well costs and
 21% decline in operating costs, which
 dramatically improved the economics
 and increased the opportunity set.
 For example, a typical well that generated
 30% IRR prior to our efficiency initiatives
 now delivers 50% IRR using the same
 product prices.
 In 2014, we will drill ~130 shale wells at
 Elk Hills, an increase from 80 in 2013.
 The remaining Elk Hills capital will target
 continued development in the shallow oil
 zone and Stevens sands.

California Operations - Exploration
 Exploration
  Solid results for over 5 years.
  The 2014 California program will continue to explore both
 unconventional and conventional targets.
  The unconventional program targets several prospects similar
 to the 2013 discovery.
  The conventional program will target prospects in and around
 our existing production in both the San Joaquin Valley and
 Ventura County.
  Extensive proprietary 3D seismic surveys are yielding an exciting
 inventory of leads and prospects, which will provide years of
 drilling opportunities.

California Production

 Capital shift to lower decline and lower
 risk steam and water flood projects.
 We believe we can grow production
 from 154 mboe/d to 190 mboe/d in 2016,
 a ~7.5% CAGR.
 Water & steam floods will contribute 80%
 of production growth.
 90% of growth from projects already online.
 We think this positions California as one
 of the lowest risk growth profiles in the
 industry.
 Focus on oil production will expand
 margins.
 Expect to grow oil volumes by 15%+ CAGR
 through 2016.

 Over the long-term, we expect our
 California growth prospects to
 benefit from changes in our asset
 mix.
 Elk Hills and Long Beach, while
 having the potential for years of
 continued production, have lower
 growth prospects due to the mature
 state of both of those fields.
 Our water and steam floods, as well
 as unconventional opportunities,
 should continue to give us double
 digit growth for years to come.

 Share of production from Elk Hills
 and Long Beach has declined from
 64% in 2009 to 44% in 2013.
 This shift will continue going
 forward and the larger share of
 higher growth projects with further
 accelerate the growth rate in
 coming years.
