NOTE 12 - SEGMENTS

Occidental conducts its operations through three segments: (1) oil and gas; (2) chemical; and (3) midstream and marketing. Income taxes, interest income, interest expense, environmental remediation expenses, Anadarko acquisition-related costs and unallocated corporate expenses are included under corporate and eliminations. Intersegment sales eliminate upon consolidation and are generally made at prices approximating those that the selling entity would be able to obtain in third-party transactions. The following table presents Occidental’s industry segments:
