Derivatives
NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVES

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, interest rate risks and transportation commitments and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty.
Occidental may elect normal purchases and normal sales exclusions when physically delivered commodities are purchased or sold to a customer. Occidental occasionally applies cash flow hedge accounting treatment to derivative financial instruments to lock in margins on the forecasted sales of its natural gas storage volumes, and at times for other strategies, such as to lock in rates on debt issuances. The value of cash flow hedges was insignificant for all periods presented.

DERIVATIVES NOT DESIGNATED AS HEDGING INSTRUMENTS
As of September 30, 2022, Occidental’s derivatives not designated as hedges consisted of marketing derivatives and interest rate swaps.
Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value will impact Occidental’s earnings through mark-to-market adjustments until the physical commodity is delivered or the financial instrument is settled.

MARKETING DERIVATIVES
Occidental's marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedges are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. As of September 30, 2022, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was $86.82 per barrel and $6.11 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was $74.85 per barrel and $4.61 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in net sales.
The following table summarizes net short volumes associated with the outstanding marketing commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:

INTEREST RATE SWAPS
Occidental's interest rate swap contracts lock in a fixed interest rate in exchange for a floating interest rate indexed to the three-month London InterBank Offered Rate throughout the reference period. Net gains and losses associated with interest rate swaps are recognized currently in gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

Depending on market conditions, liability management actions or other factors, Occidental may enter into offsetting interest rate swap positions as well as amend or settle certain or all of the currently outstanding interest rate swaps.
Derivative settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flow from operating activities unless the derivatives contain an other-than-insignificant financing element, in which case the settlements and collateralization are classified as cash flows from financing activities. Net cash receipts for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to interest rate
swap agreements were $61 million, which included $86 million paid to settle interest rate swaps, periodic interest settlements of $34 million and the return of $181 million of collateral.

CREDIT RISK
Certain of Occidental's over-the-counter derivative instruments contain credit-risk-contingent features, primarily tied to credit ratings for Occidental or its counterparties, which may affect the amount of collateral that each party would need to post. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features for which a net liability position existed as of September 30, 2022 was $21 million (net of $64 million of collateral), which was primarily related to interest rate swaps. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-contingent features for which a net liability position existed as of December 31, 2021 was $107 million (net of $323 million of collateral), which was primarily related to interest rate swaps.
