Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
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 and 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 purposes. 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 is insignificant for all periods presented. As of March 31, 2024, Occidental’s marketing derivatives are not designated as hedges. MARKETING DERIVATIVES Occidental's marketing derivative instruments are short-duration physical and financial forward contracts. As of March 31, 2024, the weighted-average settlement price of these forward contracts was $80.26 per barrel and $1.51 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively. The weighted-average settlement price was $76.36 per barrel and $2.62 per Mcf for crude oil and natural gas, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. 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 following table summarizes net short volumes associated with the outstanding marketing commodity derivatives as of:

CREDIT RISK The majority of Occidental’s counterparty credit risk is related to the physical delivery of energy commodities to its customers and their potential inability to meet their settlement commitments. Occidental manages credit risk by selecting counterparties that it believes to be financially strong, by entering into netting arrangements with counterparties and by requiring collateral or other credit risk mitigants, as appropriate. Occidental actively evaluates the creditworthiness of its counterparties, assigns appropriate credit limits and monitors credit exposures against those assigned limits. Occidental also enters into futures contracts through regulated exchanges with select clearinghouses and brokers, which are subject to minimal credit risk, if any.
