Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 28, 2008, Occidental Petroleum Corporation announced net income of $2.271 billion ($2.78 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2008, compared with $1.324 billion ($1.58 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2007.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
Oil and Gas
Oil and gas segment earnings were $3.618 billion for the third quarter of 2008, compared with $1.955 billion for the same period in 2007. The $1.7 billion increase in the third quarter 2008 segment earnings reflected $1.8 billion of increases from higher crude oil and natural gas prices, higher oil and gas production and lower exploration expense, partially offset by increased DD&A rates and higher operating expenses.
For the third quarter of 2008, daily oil and gas production averaged 588,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE), compared with 570,000 BOE per day produced in the third quarter of 2007. The bulk of the production increase was the result of 31,000 BOE per day higher production from the Dolphin project, which began production in the third quarter of 2007, partially offset by 5,000 BOE per day lower production resulting from Hurricane Ike and 13,000 BOE per day lower production in Libya as a result of the new contract that became effective in the third quarter of 2008.
Oxy's realized price for worldwide crude oil was $104.15 per barrel for the third quarter of 2008, compared with $67.81 per barrel for the third quarter of 2007. Domestic realized gas prices increased from $5.90 per MCF in the third quarter of 2007 to $9.35 per MCF for the third quarter of 2008.
Chemicals
Chemical segment earnings for the third quarter of 2008 were $219 million, compared with $212 million for the same period in 2007. The third quarter of 2008 results reflect higher caustic soda margins, partially offset by lower volumes and margins for chlorine and polyvinyl chloride.
1
Midstream, Marketing and Other
Midstream segment earnings were $66 million for the third quarter of 2008, compared with $86 million for the third quarter of 2007. The third quarter of 2008 reflects lower margins in crude oil marketing, partially offset by higher pipeline income from Dolphin, which came on line in the second half of 2007, and higher margins in gas processing and power generation.
NINE MONTHS RESULTS
Net income for the nine months of 2008 was $6.414 billion ($7.79 per diluted share), compared with $3.948 billion ($4.69 per diluted share) for the nine months of 2007.
Core results were $6.391 billion ($7.76 per diluted share) for the nine months of 2008, compared with $2.941 billion ($3.50 per diluted share) for the nine months of 2007. See the attached schedule for a reconciliation of net income to core results.
Oil and Gas
Oil and gas segment earnings were $10.312 billion for the nine months of 2008, compared with $5.496 billion for the same period of 2007. Oil and gas core results were $4.908 billion for the nine months of 2007 after excluding a $412 million gain from the sale of Occidental's Russian joint venture interests, a $35 million gain from the sale of other oil and gas interests, $112 million income from the resolution of certain legal disputes and a $29 million gain from the sale of exploration properties, net of impairments. The $5.4 billion increase in the 2008 core results from $4.9 billion in 2007 reflected $5.5 billion from higher crude oil and natural gas prices, increased oil and gas production and lower exploration expense, partially offset by higher operating expenses and increased DD&A rates.
Daily oil and gas production for the first nine months was 594,000 BOE per day for 2008, compared with 563,000 BOE per day for the same 2007 period. The 5.5 percent increase was largely the result of 44,000 BOE per day higher production from the Dolphin project, partially offset by 5,000 BOE per day lower production in Libya resulting from the new contract.
Oxy's realized price for worldwide crude oil was $100.39 per barrel for the nine months of 2008, compared with $59.47 per barrel for the nine months of 2007. Domestic realized gas prices increased from $6.45 per MCF in the nine months of 2007 to $9.18 per MCF in the nine months of 2008.
Chemicals
Chemical segment earnings were $542 million for the nine months of 2008, compared with $507 million for the nine months of 2007. The 2008 results reflect higher margins for caustic soda, partially offset by lower volumes and margins for chlorine and polyvinyl chloride.
Midstream, Marketing and Other
Midstream segment earnings were $350 million for the nine months of 2008, compared with $229 million for the same period in 2007. The improvement in 2008 reflected higher pipeline income from the Dolphin Pipeline and higher margins in gas processing and power generation, partially offset by lower margins in crude oil marketing.

SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS AFFECTING EARNINGS
Occidental's results of operations often include the effects of significant transactions and events affecting earnings that vary widely and unpredictably in nature, timing and amount. Therefore, management uses a measure called "core results," which excludes those items. This non-GAAP measure is not meant to disassociate those items from management's performance, but rather is meant to provide useful information to investors interested in comparing Occidental's earnings performance between periods. Reported earnings are considered representative of management's performance over the long term. Core results is not considered to be an alternative to operating income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
