<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">For Immediate Release: Friday, May 11, 2007</font></p>

<p align="center" style="line-height:normal;margin:6.0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-align:center;"><b><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">Occidental Petroleum Announces Plans to Divest All Of Its Lyondell
Holdings</font></u></b></p>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin:0pt 0pt 12.0pt;text-indent:36.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">LOS ANGELES &#151;
Occidental (NYSE: OXY) announced today that it plans to sell all of its
20,990,070 share (8.3%) holdings in Lyondell Chemical Company.&#160; Occidental has sold 6,990,070 shares of
Lyondell common stock to a single purchaser in a private transaction for a
price of more than $32 per share.&#160;
Occidental also entered into a total return swap agreement with respect
to its remaining 14 million shares of Lyondell common stock.&#160; This agreement will enable Occidental to
realize a similar market price with respect to future sales of such
shares.&#160; Although Occidental currently
intends to dispose of such shares in open market sales over the next few months
utilizing Rule 144, it has no obligation to do so.&#160; Assuming all of its remaining 14,000,000
shares are sold on this basis, including the receipts from the completed sale,
Occidental anticipates aggregate net after-tax proceeds from the sale of the
shares of approximately $520 million and a net gain of approximately $200
million.</font></p>
