Derivatives

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVES

OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY

Occidental uses a variety of derivative financial instruments and physical contracts to manage its exposure to commodity price fluctuations, transportation commitments and to fix margins on the future sale of stored commodity volumes. Derivatives are carried at fair value and on a net basis when a legal right of offset exists with the same counterparty. Occidental may occasionally use a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate risks. Occidental also enters into derivative financial instruments for trading purpose.

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. As of June 30, 2023, Occidental’s marketing derivatives are not designated as hedges. Occidental retired all remaining outstanding interest rate swaps in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

MARKETING DERIVATIVES

Occidental's marketing derivative instruments are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. As of June 30, 2023, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was $73.72 per barrel and $2.65 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was $81.37 per barrel and $7.89 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. 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. Net gains and losses associated with marketing derivative instruments are recognized currently in net sales.

The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features, for which a net receivable position existed as of June 30, 2023, was $52 million. The aggregate fair value of derivative instruments with credit-risk-contingent features, for which a net liability position existed as of December 31, 2022, was $18 million.
