Why choose Occidental?
Oil and natural gas operations are the core of Occidental’s business.
Our exploration and production activities are concentrated in three geographic regions: the United States, the Middle East and Latin America. In each of these regions, we focus on long-lived oil and gas assets where we can increase production by applying appropriate technology and advanced reservoir management practices.
