The term "Oxy Notes" in this column refers, in each case, to the series of Oxy Notes corresponding to the series of Old Notes of like tenor and coupon.
(3)
Includes the Early Participation Premium (as defined below) for Old Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Participation Date described below and not validly
withdrawn.
(4)
Aggregate principal amount at maturity. The accreted amount as of September 18, 2019, the anticipated settlement date of the applicable exchange offer, will be
approximately $413,739.22 per $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Zero Coupon Notes.(continued on next page)
The joint lead dealer managers for the exchange offers and the joint lead solicitation agents for the consent solicitations for the Old Notes are:
BofA Merrill Lynch
Citigroup
J.P. Morgan
Wells Fargo Securities
The date of this prospectus is August 15, 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 August
28, 2019, unless extended by us (such date and time, as it may be extended, the "Early Participation Date") and not validly withdrawn,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Expiration Date (as defined below) and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive only the exchange consideration set out in the table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 September 18, 2019, the anticipated Settlement Date (as defined
below), and will be approximately $413,739.22 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 August 28, 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 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on September 13, 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 proposed amendments (the "proposed amendments") to each series of Old Notes to be governed by, as

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 Merger Subsidiary merged with and into
Anadarko, with Anadarko continuing as the surviving company and as our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (the "merger"). The merger was
completed on August 8, 2019. See "Summary--The Merger" beginning on page 1 for more information.
As a result of the merger, Anadarko ceased to be a publicly held company. Following the merger, Anadarko filed a Form 15 to deregister
Anadarko securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Anadarko common stock was delisted
from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). 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
https: / / www.sec.gov/ Archives/ edgar/ data/ 797468/ 000114036119015083/ nt10003431x4_424b3.htm[ 8/ 15/ 2019 11: 12: 29 AM]

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 certain plans and objectives of Occidental with respect thereto, including statements about the
expected benefits of the merger. These statements may be made directly in this prospectus or may be incorporated by reference to
other documents. 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 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 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 incurred 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;
·
uncertainties about the estimated quantities of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") reserves;
·
lower-than-expected production from development projects or acquisitions;
·
exploration, drilling and other operational risks;
·
general economic conditions, domestically, internationally, or in the jurisdictions in which we are, or in the future, may be,
doing business;
·
governmental actions and political conditions and events;
·
the regulatory approval environment, including our ability to timely obtain or maintain permits or other governmental
approvals, including those necessary for drilling and/or development projects;

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 current views with respect to future
events and are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by Occidental in light of its 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 plans, 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. Occidental
assumes no 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
SUMMARY
This summary provides an overview of selected information. Because this is only a summary, it may not contain all of the
information that may be important to you in understanding the exchange offers and consent solicitations. You should carefully read
this entire prospectus, including the section entitled "Risk Factors," as well as the information incorporated by reference in this
prospectus. See the section of this prospectus entitled "Where You Can Find More Information." Unless stated otherwise, all
references in this prospectus to Occidental are to Occidental Petroleum Corporation and all references to Anadarko are to
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation.
Occidental
Occidental is an international oil and gas exploration and production company with operations in the United States, Middle East
and Latin America. Headquartered in Houston, Occidental is one of the largest U.S. oil and gas companies, based on equity market
capitalization. Occidental's principal businesses consist of three segments as follows:
https: / / www.sec.gov/ Archives/ edgar/ data/ 797468/ 000114036119015083/ nt10003431x4_424b3.htm[ 8/ 15/ 2019 11: 12: 29 AM]

Oil and Gas--This segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, NGLs and natural gas. Occidental's oil
and gas assets are located in some of the world's highest-margin basins and are characterized by an advantaged mix of short- and
long-cycle, high-return development opportunities. In the United States, Occidental holds a leading position in the Permian Basin.
Other core operations are in the Middle East (Oman, United Arab Emirates and Qatar) and Latin America (Colombia).
Chemical (OxyChem)--This segment primarily manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. OxyChem is a leading
North American manufacturer of PVC resins, chlorine and caustic soda key building blocks of products such as pharmaceuticals,
water treatment chemicals and durable, long-life plastics. OxyChem has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada and
Latin America.
Midstream and Marketing--This segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil, condensate,
NGL, natural gas, carbon dioxide and power. It also trades around its assets, including transportation and storage capacity, and
invests in entities that conduct similar activities. Also within the midstream and marketing segment is Oxy Low Carbon Ventures
("OLCV"). OLCV seeks to capitalize on Occidental's enhanced oil recovery leadership by developing carbon capture, utilization
and storage projects that source anthropogenic carbon dioxide and promote innovative technologies that drive cost efficiencies and
grow Occidental's business while reducing emissions.
Occidental is incorporated in Delaware. Its principal executive offices are located at 5 Greenway Plaza, Suite 110, Houston, Texas
77046 and its telephone number is (713) 215-7000. Occidental's website address is www.oxy.com. Information contained on
Occidental's website does not constitute part of this prospectus. Occidental's common stock is publicly traded on the NYSE, under
the ticker symbol "OXY." Additional information about Occidental is included in documents incorporated by reference in this
prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information" beginning on page iv.
Anadarko
Anadarko is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Occidental and an international exploration and production company, with
approximately 1.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") of proved reserves at December 31, 2018. Anadarko's asset portfolio
combines cash-generating conventional oil developments in the Gulf of Mexico, Algeria and Ghana with a large inventory of
significant and proven high-growth unconventional resources in the U.S. onshore. Additional information about Anadarko is
included in documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See "Where You Can Find More Information" beginning on
page iv.
The Merger
On May 9, 2019, Occidental, Merger Subsidiary and Anadarko entered into the merger agreement, which provided that, upon the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, Merger
Subsidiary would merge with and into Anadarko, with Anadarko continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly-
owned subsidiary of Occidental. The merger was completed on August 8, 2019.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
On April 30, 2019, Occidental and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire Hathaway") entered into a securities purchase agreement,
pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Berkshire Hathaway agreed to purchase newly issued
Occidental preferred stock (the "series A preferred stock") and a warrant to purchase Occidental common stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $10 billion in cash (the "Berkshire Hathaway investment"). On August 8, 2019, the Berkshire Hathaway
investment was completed. The proceeds of the Berkshire Hathaway investment were used by Occidental to partially finance the
merger and pay related fees and expenses.
On June 3, 2019, Occidental entered into an $8.8 billion term loan credit agreement (the "term loan agreement", and the facilities
thereunder the "term loan facilities") with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain financial institutions party thereto, as
lenders (the "term loan lenders"), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the term loan lenders
committed to provide (i) a 364-day senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.4 billion and (ii)
a two-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.4 billion. On August 8, 2019, the
conditions to funding under the term loan facilities were satisfied and the loans thereunder were funded. The proceeds of the term
loan facilities were used by Occidental to partially finance the merger and pay related fees and expenses.
https: / / www.sec.gov/ Archives/ edgar/ data/ 797468/ 000114036119015083/ nt10003431x4_424b3.htm[ 8/ 15/ 2019 11: 12: 29 AM]

Also on June 3, 2019, Occidental entered into an amendment to its existing $3.0 billion revolving credit facility pursuant to which,
among other things, effective as of August 8, 2019, the commitments under the revolving credit facility were increased by an
additional $2.0 billion, to $5.0 billion (the "Revolver Upsize").
On August 3, 2019, Occidental and TOTAL S.A. ("Total") entered into a binding purchase and sale agreement, pursuant to which
Occidental has agreed to sell to Total all of the assets, liabilities, businesses and operations of Anadarko in Algeria, Ghana,
Mozambique and South Africa for $8.8 billion in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis (the "Total transaction"). Occidental
anticipates using the proceeds from the Total transaction, net of a $0.8 billion anticipated transfer tax liability, together with cash
from other sources, to repay in full any indebtedness incurred under the term loan agreement (the "Term loan refinancing"). The
Total transaction and the Term loan refinancing are not contingent on the completion of the exchange offers or the consent
solicitations, and none of the exchange offers or consent solicitations is conditioned on the completion of the Total transaction or the
Term loan refinancing.
On August 8, 2019, Occidental issued pursuant to the Indenture senior unsecured notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$13.0 billion (the "new notes issuance"). The net proceeds from the new notes issuance of approximately $12.9 billion, after
deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, were used by Occidental to partially finance the merger and pay
related fees and expenses.
We refer to the Berkshire Hathaway investment, the Total transaction, the borrowing of loans under the term loan agreement,
the Revolver Upsize, the new notes issuance and the Term loan refinancing as the "financing transactions".

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Questions and Answers about the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations
Q: Why is Occidental making the exchange offers and consent solicitations?
A:
Occidental is conducting the exchange offers to simplify its capital structure and to give existing holders of the Old Notes the
option to obtain securities issued by Occidental, which will be pari passu with Occidental's other unsecured and
unsubordinated debt securities. Occidental is conducting the consent solicitations to ease administration of Occidental's
indebtedness.
Q: What will I receive if I tender my Old Notes in the exchange offers and consent solicitations?
A:
Subject to the conditions described in this prospectus, each Old Note that is validly tendered prior to 12:01 a.m., New York
City time, on the Expiration Date, and not validly withdrawn, will be eligible to receive an Oxy Note of the applicable series
(as designated in the table below), which will accrue interest at the same annual interest rate, have the same interest payment
dates, same 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) and same maturity date as the Old Note for which it was
exchanged.
Specifically, (a) 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 the Early Participation Date, and not validly withdrawn, holders will receive the Total Consideration, which
consists of $1,000 principal amount of Oxy Notes (including the Early Participation Premium, which consists of $30 principal
amount of Oxy Notes) and a cash amount of $1.00, and (b) 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, and not validly withdrawn, holders will
receive only the Exchange Consideration, which consists of $970 principal amount of Oxy Notes and a cash amount of $1.00.
For the avoidance of doubt, the $1.00 cash amount for the series of 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.
The Oxy Notes will be issued under and governed by the terms of an indenture (the "Indenture"), to be dated no later than the
Settlement Date, with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"), as described under
"Description of the Oxy Notes."
The Oxy Notes will be issued only in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof,
except for the following Oxy Notes (collectively, the "Oxy $1,000 Denomination Notes"), which will only be issued in
minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof:
