Occidental is focused on delivering a unique shareholder value proposition with its portfolio of oil and gas, chemical and midstream and marketing assets as well as its ongoing development of carbon management and sequestration solutions and GHG emissions reduction efforts.

■Prioritize excess cash flow and proceeds from asset divestitures for deleveraging until principal debt is below $15 billion;

■Enhance its asset base with investments in its cash-generative oil and gas and chemical businesses; and

■Advance technologies and decarbonization solutions to develop sustainable low-carbon businesses.
