The date of this prospectus is , 2019.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
(continued from cover)
In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that is validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2019, unless
extended by us (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Early Participation Date") and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive the total
consideration set out in the table above (the "Total Consideration"), which consists of $1,000 principal amount of Oxy Notes and a cash amount of $1.00.
The Total Consideration includes an early participation premium set out in the table above (the "Early Participation Premium"), which consists of $30
principal amount of Oxy Notes.
In exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that is validly tendered after the Early Participation Date but prior to the Expiration Date (as
defined below) and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive only the exchange consideration set out in the table above (the "Exchange Consideration"),
which is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Participation Premium and therefore consists of $970 principal amount of Oxy Notes and a cash
amount of $1.00.
Except where otherwise indicated, the term "aggregate principal amount," when used in reference to the Zero Coupon Senior Notes due 2036 (the "Zero
Coupon Notes"), refers to the accreted amount as of , 2019, the anticipated Settlement Date (as defined below), and will be approximately $ per
$1,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Zero Coupon Notes. The term "aggregate principal amount at maturity," when used in reference to
the Zero Coupon Notes, refers to the aggregate principal amount payable at maturity, which is $1,000,000 for each $1,000,000 of fully accreted Zero Coupon
Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the $1.00 cash amount for the series of Old Notes corresponding to the Zero Coupon Notes (the "Old Zero Coupon
Notes") will be paid based on the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value) as of the Settlement Date of such Old Zero Coupon Notes validly tendered.
No additional payment will be made for a holder's consent to the proposed amendments to the Old Notes Indentures (as defined below).
Tenders of Old Notes in connection with any of the exchange offers may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date of the applicable exchange
offer. Following the Expiration Date, tenders of Old Notes may not be validly withdrawn unless we are otherwise required by law to permit withdrawal.
Consents to the proposed amendments may be revoked at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2019, unless extended by us (such date
and time, as it may be extended, the "Consent Revocation Deadline"), but may not be revoked at any time thereafter. Consents may be revoked only by
validly withdrawing the associated tendered Old Notes. A valid withdrawal of tendered Old Notes prior to the Consent Revocation Deadline will be deemed
to be a concurrent revocation of the related consent to the proposed amendments to the applicable Old Notes Indenture, and a revocation of a consent to the
proposed amendments prior to the Consent Revocation Deadline will be deemed to be a concurrent withdrawal of the related tendered Old Notes. However,
a valid withdrawal of Old Notes after the Consent Revocation Deadline will not be deemed a revocation of the related consent and your consent will continue
to be deemed delivered.
Each Oxy Note issued in exchange for an Old Note will have an interest rate and maturity that is identical to the interest rate and maturity of the tendered Old Note, as
well as identical interest payment dates and optional redemption prices (subject to certain technical changes to ensure that the calculations of the treasury rate are
consistent with the methods used in the new notes issuance (as defined below)). No accrued but unpaid interest will be paid on the Old Notes in connection with the
exchange offers. Interest on the applicable Oxy Note will, however, (a) accrue from and including the most recent interest payment date of the tendered Old Note and
(b) if the regular record date for the first interest payment date would be a date prior to the Settlement Date, the record date for such first interest payment date will be
the day immediately preceding such interest payment date. Subject to the minimum denominations as described herein, the principal amount of each Oxy Note will be
rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole multiple of $1,000, and we will pay cash equal to the remaining portion, if any, of the exchange price of such Old
Note. The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on , 2019, unless extended (the "Expiration Date"). You may withdraw tendered
Old Notes at any time prior to the Expiration Date. As further described in this prospectus, if your valid withdrawal of your tendered Old Notes occurs after the
Consent Revocation Deadline, you will not be able to revoke the related consent to the proposed amendments described below. As of the date of this prospectus, there
was approximately $11,893,352,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of outstanding Old Notes.
Concurrently with the exchange offers, we are also soliciting consents from each holder of the Old Notes, on behalf of Anadarko, Anadarko HoldCo, Anadarko
Finance and Kerr-McGee, respectively, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the related letter of transmittal and consent, to certain

You may not consent to the proposed amendments to the relevant Old Notes Indenture without tendering your Old Notes in the applicable exchange offer and you may
not tender your Old Notes for exchange without consenting to the applicable proposed amendments. By tendering your Old Notes for exchange, you will be deemed to
have validly delivered your consent to the proposed amendments to the applicable Old Notes Indenture under which those notes were issued with respect to that
specific series, as further described under "The Proposed Amendments." You may revoke your consent to the proposed amendments at any time prior to the Consent
Revocation Deadline by withdrawing the Old Notes you have tendered prior to the Consent Revocation Deadline but you will not be able to revoke your consent after
the Consent Revocation Deadline, as further described in this prospectus.
The consummation of each exchange offer is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or, where permitted, the waiver, where permitted, of the
conditions discussed under "The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations--Conditions to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations," including,
among other things, the completion of the merger, the satisfaction of the Requisite Consent Condition (as defined in "The Exchange Offers and Consent
Solicitations--Conditions to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations") and the registration statement on Form S-4 of which this prospectus forms a
part having been declared effective and remaining effective on the Settlement Date. We may, at our option, waive any such conditions at or by the Expiration
Date, except (i) the condition that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part has been declared effective by the SEC and remains
effective on the Settlement Date and (ii) the condition that the merger has been completed or will be completed by the Settlement Date.
Subject to applicable law, each exchange offer and each consent solicitation is being made independently of the other exchange offers and consent solicitations, and we
reserve the right to terminate, withdraw or amend each exchange offer and each consent solicitation independently of the other exchange offers and consent
solicitations at any time and from time to time, as described in this prospectus.
On May 9, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "merger agreement"), by and among us, Anadarko and Baseball Merger Sub 1, Inc., one of
our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Merger Subsidiary"), pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the satisfaction or, where permitted, the waiver of
certain conditions, Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into Anadarko, with Anadarko continuing as the surviving company and as our indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary (the "merger").
The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from Anadarko's stockholders. Anadarko has scheduled a special meeting of its
stockholders on August 8, 2019, to vote on the proposal necessary to approve the merger, and we currently expect the merger to be completed shortly thereafter. It is
possible, however, that factors outside of our control could require us to complete the merger at a later time or not to complete it at all. See "Summary--The Merger"
beginning on page 2 for more information.
We plan to issue the Oxy Notes promptly following the Expiration Date (the "Settlement Date"). The Old Notes are not, and the Oxy Notes will not be, listed on any
securities exchange.
This investment involves risks. Prior to participating in any of the exchange offers and consenting to the proposed amendments, please see the section
entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 27 of this prospectus for a discussion of the risks that you should consider. You also should read and carefully
consider the risk factors contained in the documents that are incorporated by reference herein.
Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete.
Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
None of Occidental, Anadarko, Anadarko HoldCo, Andarko Finance, Kerr-McGee, the exchange agent (as defined herein), the information agent, the Old Notes
Trustees, the Trustee (as defined below) or the dealer managers makes any recommendation as to whether holders of the Old Notes should exchange their notes in the
exchange offers or deliver consents to the proposed amendments to the Old Notes Indentures.
In order to participate in any exchange offer and consent solicitation for Old Notes, holders of the Old Notes resident in Canada are required to complete,
sign and submit to the exchange agent a Canadian Eligibility Form (attached as Annex A to the accompanying letter of transmittal and consent). See
"Notices to Certain Non-U.S. Holders--Canada."
The communication of this prospectus and any other document or materials relating to the issue of the Oxy Notes offered hereby is not being made, and such
documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorized person for the purposes of Section 21 of the United Kingdom's Financial Services and Markets
Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA"). Accordingly, such documents and materials are not being distributed to, and must not be directed at, the general public in the
United Kingdom. The communication of such documents and/or materials is only being made to those persons in the United Kingdom who have professional
experience in matters relating to investments and who fall within the definition of investment professionals (as defined in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the "Order")), or who fall within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) of the Order (all such persons together
being referred to as "Relevant Persons"). In the United Kingdom, this prospectus and the Oxy Notes offered hereby are only available to, and any investment or
investment activity to which this prospectus and any other document or materials relating to the issue of the Oxy Notes offered hereby relates, will be engaged in only
with, Relevant Persons. Any person in the United Kingdom that is not a Relevant Person should not act or rely on this prospectus or any of its contents.
This prospectus and any other document or materials relating to the issue of the Oxy Notes offered hereby is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus
Directive. The expression "Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded), and includes any relevant implementing measure in any
member state ("Member State") of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") which has implemented the Prospectus Directive.
As a result of the merger, Anadarko will no longer be a publicly held company. Following the merger, Anadarko will file a Form 15 and the common stock will be
delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Accordingly,
Anadarko will not file periodic reports or information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or, if the Requisite Consents (as defined below)
for the 7.500% Senior Notes due 2031 are received, with any Old Notes Trustee (as defined below) or any holders of the Old Notes. Consequently, the liquidity,
market value and price volatility of the Old Notes issued by Anadarko that remain outstanding after the completion of the exchange offers may be materially and
adversely affected.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS--The Oxy Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail
investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of the following: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of Directive (EU) 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"), (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution
Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II or (iii) a person that is not a qualified
investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Oxy Notes and otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the securities or otherwise making them available to a retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE/TARGET MARKET--Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market
assessment in respect of the Oxy Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Oxy Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only,
each as defined in MiFID II and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Oxy Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Oxy Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however,
a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Oxy Notes (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and
business of Occidental and Anadarko and the combined businesses of Occidental and Anadarko and certain plans and objectives of
Occidental and Anadarko with respect thereto, including statements about the merger and the expected benefits of the merger. These
statements may be made directly in this prospectus or may be incorporated by reference to other documents and may include
statements for the period after completion of the merger. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do
not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "anticipate," "target," "expect,"
"estimate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "believe," "hope," "aim," "continue," "will," "may," "would," "could" or "should" or other
words of similar meaning. There are several factors which could cause actual plans and results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following risks related to the
merger and the financing transactions (as defined below):
·
the ability of Occidental and Anadarko to complete the merger, including approval by the Anadarko stockholders and to
satisfy the other conditions to the closing of the merger on a timely basis or at all;
·
the occurrence of events that may give rise to a right of one or both of the parties to terminate the merger agreement,
including under circumstances that might require Occidental to pay or cause to be paid a termination fee of $1 billion to
Anadarko;
·
the possibility that the merger is delayed or does not occur;
·
Occidental's ability to finance the merger, including completion of any contemplated debt financing or equity investment;
·
the possibility that the anticipated benefits from the merger cannot be realized in full or at all or may take longer to realize
than expected, including risks associated with achieving expected synergies, cost savings, capital spending reductions and
operating efficiencies from the merger;
·
risks relating to significant merger costs and/or unknown liabilities;
·
risks associated with third-party contracts containing change in control consent requirements and/or other provisions that
may be triggered by the merger or the financing transactions;
·
risks associated with merger-related litigation or appraisal proceedings;
·
the ability of Occidental to retain and hire key personnel;
·
Occidental's indebtedness and other payment obligations, including the substantial indebtedness Occidental expects to
incur in connection with the merger and the need to generate sufficient cash flows to service and repay such debt and to pay
dividends pursuant to the Berkshire Hathaway investment (as defined below); and
·
Occidental's ability to consummate the Total transaction (as defined below), including the ability to receive the required
regulatory approvals.
Such factors also include the following risks:
·
assumptions about the energy markets;
·
global and local commodity and commodity-futures pricing fluctuations;
·
supply and demand considerations for, and the prices of, our products or services;
·
unexpected changes in costs;
·
the regulatory approval environment;
·
our ability to successfully complete, or any material delay of, field developments, expansion projects, capital expenditures,
efficiency projects, acquisitions or dispositions;
·
risks associated with acquisitions, mergers and joint ventures, such as difficulties integrating businesses, uncertainty
associated with financial projections, projected synergies, restructuring, increased costs and adverse tax consequences;
·
uncertainties and liabilities associated with acquired and divested properties and businesses;
ii

other risk factors as detailed from time to time in Occidental's and Anadarko's reports filed with the SEC, including
Occidental's and Anadarko's respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports
on Form 8-K and other documents filed with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties set forth in, or incorporated by
reference into, this prospectus in the section entitled "Risk Factors." See "Where You Can Find More Information."
The forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference herein reflect Occidental's and Anadarko's current views with
respect to future events and are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by Occidental and Anadarko in light of their
experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, business strategies, operating environments, future developments
and other factors they believe appropriate. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and
uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. The factors described in the
context of such forward-looking statements in this document could cause Occidental's and Anadarko's plans with respect to the
merger, actual results, performance or achievements, industry results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in
or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although it is believed that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that such expectations will prove to have been correct and you are therefore
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or, in
the case of a document incorporated by reference, as of the date of that document. Neither Occidental nor Anadarko assumes any
obligation to update the information contained in this document (whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise),
except as required by applicable law.
