Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
The Occidental Petroleum Corporation Pension and
Retirement Plan Administrative Committee:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules, Schedule H, Line 4i – Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2010 and Schedule H, Line 4j – Schedule of Reportable Transactions for the year ended December 31, 2010 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).  These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009


(1)
Description of the Plan
 
       
 
The following description of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation Savings Plan (the Plan) provides only general information.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
       
 
(a)
General
 
       
   
The Plan is a defined contribution plan generally available to certain employees of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OPC, Oxy, or the Employer), a Delaware corporation, and participating subsidiaries (collectively, the Company).  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
 
       
 
(b)
Plan Administration
 
       
   
The Plan is administered by the OPC Pension and Retirement Trust and Investment Committee (PARTAIC) as to investment decisions and by the OPC Pension and Retirement Plan Administrative Committee (PARPAC) as to all matters except investment decisions (these two committees are herein referred to collectively as the Committees).  Members of the Committees are selected by the board of directors of OPC (the Board).  The Committees have been given all powers necessary to carry out their respective duties, including, but not limited to, the power to administer and interpret the Plan and to answer all questions affecting eligibility of participants.  Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N. A. (the Trustee) is the trustee and custodian of the trust fund, which holds all of the assets of the Plan.
 
       
 
(c)
Contributions
 
       
   
Participant Contributions – Each year, participants may contribute up to the maximum contribution percentage of compensation to the Plan on a before- or after-tax basis, or in any combination thereof, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations.  For 2010 and 2009, the deferral percentage limits were 27.0% for non-Highly Compensated Employees (non-HCEs) and 14.0% for Highly Compensated Employees (HCEs).  Participants age 50 or older by the end of the Plan year were permitted to contribute additional before-tax catch-up contributions to the Plan up to $5,500 for each of the 2010 and 2009 Plan years.
 
       
   
Employer Matching Contributions – For noncollectively bargained employees, the Company contributes an amount equal to 100% of a participant’s contribution up to the first 6% of eligible compensation.  For collectively bargained employees, the Company contributes 50%, 65%, 75%, 90%, or 100% as negotiated by their respective unions, up to the first 6% of eligible compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan.  All employer contributions are invested in the Occidental Petroleum Corporation Common Stock Fund (the Oxy Stock Fund).  Active participants with at least three years of service and terminated vested participants may elect to transfer their employer matching contributions to other investment funds.

(d)
Participant Accounts
 
       
   
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s elected contribution, the Employer’s respective matching contribution, and allocations of the respective fund’s investment income and losses, and investment manager fees.  Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
 
       
 
(e)
Vesting
 
       
   
Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual earnings thereon.  The Company’s matching contributions vest after three years of vesting service.  Participants are also always fully vested in dividends paid on the portion of their employer matching contributions invested in the Oxy Stock Fund.
 
       
 
(f)
Participant Loans
 
       
   
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of: (i) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding principal loan balance during the preceding 12 months, (ii) 50% of their account balance, or (iii) a loan amount that would require monthly payroll deductions for repayment not greater than 25% of the participant’s monthly base compensation.  Loan terms range from one to five years for general purpose loans and six to ten years for primary residence loans.  The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account at the time the loan is approved.  Prior to October 1, 2008, loans generally had a fixed  interest rate equal to the Western Federal Credit Union’s loan rate.  Effective October 1, 2008, loan interest rates were fixed based on the prime rate as published by The Wall Street Journal on the first day of the month prior to the loan's effective date.  Interest rates ranged from 2% to 7% and 2% to 12% on loans outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.
 
       
 
(g)
Distributions
 
       
   
Generally, on termination of service for any reason other than death, participants with an account balance greater than $5,000 may elect to receive the vested portion of their account under one of the following distribution options: (i) one lump-sum payment, (ii) straight-life annuity, (iii) ten-year term certain annuity, (iv) joint and survivor annuity, (v) partial cash distribution, or (vi) deferral of payment with certain restrictions.  Upon termination of service due to death, the beneficiary may elect to receive the vested interest in the form of (i), (ii), (iii), or (vi) only.  A participant whose vested account balance is $5,000 or less may receive distributions only under options (i), (v), or (vi).  Participants may elect to receive distributions from their vested account balance in the Oxy Stock Fund in cash or in shares of OPC common stock.

(h)
Forfeited Accounts
 
       
   
Forfeited nonvested accounts are used to pay reasonable costs of administering the Plan and reduce employer contributions.  During 2010 and 2009, employer contributions were reduced by approximately $400,000 and $340,000, respectively, from forfeited nonvested accounts.  Forfeitures of terminated nonvested account balances during 2010 and 2009 were approximately $477,000 and $255,000, respectively.  At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the balance of forfeited nonvested accounts totaled approximately $358,000 and $281,000, respectively.  These accounts are expected to be used to reduce future contributions.
 
       
(2)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
       
 
(a)
Basis of Accounting
 
       
   
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation.  The prior year participant loans balance of approximately $23,379,000 was reclassified from investments to receivables within the statement of net assets available for benefits.
 
       
   
Investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount the participant would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  As required, the statement of net assets available for benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.  The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
 
       
 
(b)
Use of Estimates
 
       
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make informed estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
       
 
(c)
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
       
   
The Plan’s investments, with the exception of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, are stated at fair value.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  See note 4 below for a discussion of fair value measurements.
 
       
   
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
       
 
(d)
Payment of Benefits
 
       
   
Benefits are recorded when paid.

The Plan participated in the Trustee’s Securities Lending Program (the Securities Lending Program) for its U.S. securities held in custody at the Trustee.  These securities are loaned by the Trustee to third-party broker-dealers in exchange for collateral (primarily cash), in compliance with Department of Labor collateral requirements.  For U.S. securities, the collateral is at least 102% of the fair value of the borrowed securities.  The cash received as collateral is invested in the Trustee’s Institutional Cash Reserves Fund, which is a short-term investment fund.  The Plan and the Trustee each receive a percentage of net income derived from securities lending activities based on the types of securities.
 
     
 
The fair value of securities loaned was approximately $3,123,000 and $703,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Cash collateral of approximately $3,191,000 and $726,000 was held at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, with an offsetting liability.  Income earned was approximately $14,000 and $3,000 for 2010 and 2009, respectively, net of bank fees of approximately $8,000 and $2,000, respectively.  This income is included in investment income as interest in the accompanying statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

Fair Value Measurements
 
       
 
Plan assets are measured at fair value, based on the priorities of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, in a three-level fair value hierarchy: Level 1 – using quoted prices in the 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 year end.
 
       
 
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Plan assets that are measured at fair value:
 
       
 
(a)
Common Stocks and Preferred Stocks
 
       
   
Common stocks and preferred stocks are valued at the closing price reported on the active market for which the individual securities are traded.
 
       
 
(b)
Mutual Funds
 
       
   
Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of the shares held by the Plan.  The value of a publicly registered mutual fund can be obtained through quoted market prices in active markets.
 
       
 
(c)
Common/Collective Trust, Short-Term Investment Fund, Money Deposit Account and Commingled Fund
 
       
   
The common collective trust, short-term investment fund, money deposit account and commingled fund are valued at the NAV of the units provided by the fund issuer, which is used as a practical expedient for fair value.  NAV for these funds represent the quoted price in a non-active market.
 
       
 
(d)
Corporate Bonds
 
       
   
Corporate bonds are valued using quoted market price when available.  If quoted market prices are not observable, corporate bonds are valued using pricing models with market observable inputs from both active and non-active markets.
 
       
 
(e)
Master Trust Account – Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC)
 
       
   
Fair value of the nonparticipating synthetic GICs is determined using a discounted cash flow method.  Based on its duration, the estimated cash flow of each contract is discounted using a yield curve interpolated from swap rates and adjusted for liquidity and credit quality.  Fair value for security-backed investment contracts was derived from third-party sources, based on the type of investment held.

The GICs are initially stated at fair value but then adjusted to contract value because they are fully benefit-responsive.  As such, participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.  Contract value for the synthetic GICs is determined based on the fair value of the underlying assets.  The difference between the fair value of the assets underlying the synthetic GICs and the contract value of the GICs is the value of the “wrapper” contract issued by a third party.
 
     
 
Withdrawals resulting from events initiated by the Company, such as plan termination, are not typically considered participant-initiated transactions.  With such an event, some of the contracts contain contingencies that could lead to withdrawal penalties.  The Committees are not aware of any such event being contemplated at this time.
 
     
 
GICs provide a fixed crediting interest rate, and a financially responsible entity guarantees liquidity at contract value prior to maturity for any and all participant-initiated benefit withdrawals, loans, or transfers arising under the terms of the respective participating Plan, which allows access for all participants.
 
     
 
Synthetic GICs operate similarly to a separate account GIC, except that the assets are placed in a trust with ownership by GIC MTIA, rather than a separate account of the issuer, and a financially responsible third party issues a wrapper contract that provides that participants must execute Plan transactions at contract value.

During 2010 and 2009, the average yield earned on amounts invested in the GICs was 2.19% and 3.13%, respectively.  As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the average crediting interest rate on such contracts was 3.77% and 4.12%, respectively.  Crediting interest rate resets are applied to specific investment contracts, as determined at the time of purchase.  The reset values for security-backed investment interest rates are a function of contract value, market value, yield, and duration.  General account investment rates are based on a predetermined index rate of return plus a fixed-basis point spread.

Related-Party Transactions
 
     
 
The Trustee and OPC are parties in interest as defined by ERISA.  The Trustee invests certain Plan assets in its Collective Short-Term Investment Fund and the Oxy Stock Fund.  Such transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions permitted by the Department of Labor regulations.  OPC paid approximately $859,000 and $888,000 on behalf of the Plan to various vendors for the Plan’s administrative expenses during 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
     
(8)
Plan Termination
 
     
 
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan’s provisions to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, affected participants would become 100% vested in their employer contributions.

Tax Status
 
     
 
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company, by a letter dated May 13, 2010, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC.

The Plan invests in various types of investment securities, including mutual funds, actively managed funds, and the Oxy Stock Fund.  Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market, and credit risks.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participant’s account balance and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits. Risk associated with the Oxy Stock Fund include those disclosed by Oxy in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Security and Exchange Commission and its other public filings and disclosures.
 
     
 
Additionally, some mutual funds invest in the securities of foreign companies, which involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies.  These risks include devaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement practices, and possible adverse political and economic developments.  Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than similar types of securities of comparable U.S. companies.
 
     
 
Certain derivative financial instruments are used by the Plan’s equity and fixed-income investment managers to remain fully invested in the asset class and to hedge currency risk.
 
     
 
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 46% and 48%, respectively, of total Plan investments were invested in Oxy stock.
