what we do

As the world's energy demands grow, so does the need for additional energy resources. With our multi-national workforce of more than 8,500 employees worldwide, we are working today to balance the need for new oil and natural gas resources with sensitivity for the world of tomorrow.

Occidental's oil and gas segment is focused on finding and developing high quality reserves in three key core areas around the globe, the United States, the Middle East and Latin America.

Occidental is also a leader in the chemical industry, as the leading merchant marketer of chlorine and caustic soda in the United States. In addition, OxyChem produces vinyls and specialty chemicals products.

Worldwide, Occidental strives to safeguard the environment, protect the safety and health of employees, contractors and neighboring communities, and uphold high standards of social responsibility.
