REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Occidental Petroleum Corporation
Pension and Retirement Plan Administrative Committee:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December
31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule, schedule H,
line 4i - schedule of assets (held at end of year), is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
(1) DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Occidental Petroleum Corporation Savings
Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should
refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
(a) GENERAL
The Plan is a defined contribution plan generally available to certain
employees of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OPC, Oxy, or the
Employer), a Delaware corporation, and participating subsidiaries
(collectively, the Company). The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(ERISA).
(b) PLAN ADMINISTRATION
The Plan is administered by the OPC Pension and Retirement Trust and
Investment Committee (PARTAIC) as to investment decisions and by the
OPC Pension and Retirement Plan Administrative Committee (PARPAC) as
to all matters except investment decisions (these two committees are
herein referred to collectively as the Committees). Members of the
Committees are selected by the board of directors of OPC. The
Committees have been given all powers necessary to carry out their
respective duties, including, but not limited to, the power to
administer and interpret the Plan and to answer all questions
affecting eligibility of participants. The Northern Trust Company (the
Trustee) is the trustee and custodian of a trust fund, which holds all
of the assets of the Plan.
(c) CONTRIBUTIONS
Participant Contributions - Participants may contribute up to 15% of
compensation (as defined) to the Plan on a before- or after-tax basis,
or in any combination thereof, subject to certain Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) limitations. Effective July 1, 2002, this deferral
percentage limit was increased to 34% of compensation (as defined) for
a non Highly Compensated Employee (HCE) and up to 14% for HCEs.
Effective January 1, 2003, the deferral percentage limit for non-HCEs
changed to 31%, and remained at 14% for HCEs. Effective January 1,
2003 and June 1, 2002, participants age 50 or older by December 31 at
the end of the Plan year were permitted to contribute before-tax
catch-up contributions to the Plan up to $2,000 and $1,000 for each
Plan year, respectively.
Employer Contributions - For noncollective bargaining employees, the
Company contributed 100% of a participant's contribution up to the
first 6% of compensation. For collective bargaining employees, the
Company contributed 50%, 75%, or 100% as negotiated by their
respective unions, of the first 6% of eligible compensation that a
participant contributed to the Plan. All Employer contributions are
invested in the Occidental Petroleum Corporation Common Stock Fund
(the Oxy Stock Fund).

SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
(d) PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contribution and allocations of the Company's contribution and Plan
earnings, and charged with an allocation of administrative expenses
and investment losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings
or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's
vested account.
(e) VESTING
Participants are vested immediately in their contributions plus actual
earnings thereon. Effective June 1, 2002, participants became 100%
vested in dividends credited to their balance in the Company Matching
Contribution Account under the Oxy Stock Fund on or after June 1,
2002. Vesting in the Company's contribution portion of their accounts
is based on years of continuous service. Generally, a participant is
20% vested for each year of service and is 100% vested after five
years of credited service.
(f) PARTICIPANT LOANS
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000
up to a maximum equal to the lesser of: (i) $50,000 reduced by the
highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months, (ii)
50% of their account balance, or (iii) a loan amount which would
require payroll deductions for repayment equal to 25% of the
participant's base compensation. Loan terms range from one to five
years for general-purpose loans and six to ten years for primary
residence loans. The loans are secured by the balance in the
participant's account and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to the
Western Federal Credit Union's loan rate for a loan secured by a
member's deposit account at the time the loan is approved. Interest
rates ranged from 3.0% to 7.0% on loans outstanding as of December 31,
2003. Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll
deductions.
(g) DISTRIBUTIONS
Generally, on termination of service for any reason other than death,
participants with an account balance greater than $5,000 may elect to
receive the vested portion of their account under one of the following
distribution options: (i) one lump-sum payment, (ii) straight-life
annuity, (iii) ten-year term certain annuity, (iv) joint and survivor
annuity, (v) partial cash distribution, or (vi) deferral of payment
with certain restrictions. Upon termination of service due to death,
the beneficiary may elect to receive the vested interest in the form
of (i), (ii), (iii), or (vi) only. A participant whose vested account
balance is $5,000 or less may receive distributions only under options
(i), (v), or (vi). Participants may elect to receive distributions
from their account balance in the Oxy Stock Fund in cash or in shares
of OPC common stock.
(h) FORFEITED ACCOUNTS
Forfeited nonvested accounts are used to reduce Employer
contributions. During 2003 and 2002, Employer contributions were
reduced by approximately $186,000 and $286,000 from forfeited
nonvested accounts, respectively. Unallocated forfeitures at December
31, 2003 and 2002 were not significant to the financial statements.

December 31, 2003 and 2002
(i) INVESTMENT OPTIONS
The Plan offers various investment options which are managed by
several outside investment managers. Upon enrollment in the Plan,
participants may direct their contributions, in 1% increments, in any
of the investment options offered at the time. Participants may change
their investment options daily. Participants should refer to the Plan
fund description pamphlet for a complete description of the investment
options and for the detailed composition of each investment fund.
(j) PLAN AMENDMENTS
Effective June 1, 2002, the Plan was amended to designate the Matching
Account held under the Plan as an employee stock ownership plan and to
allow participants the option to have dividends reinvested in the Oxy
Stock Fund or distributed in the form of cash.
(k) PLAN MERGERS
Effective September 12, 2003, all accounts that would not be
distributed from the Oxy Permian Savings Plan, which was terminated
effective March 31, 2002, were merged into the Plan. Approximately
$1,553,000 was transferred into the Plan in September 2003.
Effective February 28, 2002, the Oxy Vinyls, LP Savings Plan was
merged into the Plan. As a result of the merger, the Plan became a
multiple-employer plan. In March 2003, Oxy Vinyls LP employees
transferred to Oxy Vinyls Services, Inc. As a result, the Plan is no
longer a multiple-employer plan.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
method of accounting. Certain reclassifications have been made to the
2002 financial statements to be consistent with the current year
presentation.
(b) USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
(c) INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value except for the
investments in guaranteed investment contracts (fully
benefit-responsive investment contracts) which are valued at contract
value (notes 3 and 5). Quoted market prices are used to value
investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value
of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loans are valued
at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
Realized gains and losses on investments are based on the market value
of the asset at the beginning of the year or at the time of purchase
for assets purchased during the year, and the related fair value on
the day the investments are sold during the year. Unrealized gains and
losses of investments are based on the market value of the assets at
the beginning of the year or at the time of purchase for assets
purchased during the year, and the related fair value at the end of
the year. Net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in
fair value of investments is reflected in the accompanying statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits as "net appreciation
(depreciation) in fair value of investments."
(d) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Benefits are recorded when paid.
(e) RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan invests in various types of investment securities, including
mutual funds, actively managed funds, and the Oxy Stock Fund.
Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest
rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated
with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible
that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the
near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts
reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
Additionally, many mutual funds invest in the securities of foreign
companies, which involves special risks and considerations not
typically associated with investing in U.S. companies. These risks
include devaluation of currencies, less reliable information about
issuers, different securities transaction clearance and settlement
practices, and possible adverse political and economic developments.
Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and their markets may
be less liquid and their prices more volatile than similar types of
securities of comparable U.S. companies.
Derivative financial instruments are used by the Plan's equity and
fixed-income investment managers to remain fully invested in the asset
class and to hedge currency risk. Leveraging of the Plan assets and
speculation are prohibited.
As of December 31, 2003 and 2002, approximately 43% and 39% of total
Plan investments, respectively, were invested in the Oxy Stock Fund.

(5) GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
The Invesco Fixed-Income Fund (the Fund) includes investments in guaranteed
investment contracts (GICs) and synthetic GICs. Both the Plan and the OPC
Retirement Plan are invested in the Fund, managed by Invesco. The Plan's
investment in the Fund is 41.45% and 40.64% at December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. The Plan's investments in GICs are included in the statements
of net assets available for benefits at contract value (which represents
contributions made under the contract plus earnings, less withdrawals and
administrative expenses) because they are fully benefit responsive. For
example, participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of
all or a portion of their investment at contract value.
Withdrawals resulting from events initiated by the Company, such as Plan
termination, are not typically considered participant-initiated
transactions. With such an event, some of the contracts contain
contingencies that could lead to withdrawal penalties. However, since no
such events are being contemplated at this time or the withdrawals
resulting from such an event will be funded outside the contracts'
provisions, these "potential" limitations do not jeopardize the contract
value reporting for these investments.
9 (Continued)
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
SAVINGS PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2003 and 2002
Contract value for the synthetic GICs is determined based on the fair value
of the assets underlying the synthetic GICs. The difference between the
fair value of the assets underlying the synthetic GICs and the contract
value of the GICs is the value of the "wrapper" contract issued by a third
party. The fair value for GICs varies based on the type of contract held
(e.g., security-backed investments and general account investments). Fair
value of the general account investment type GICs is derived by comparing
the contract value, on a duration basis, to the yield curve. Fair value of
the nonparticipating synthetic GICs is determined by comparing each
contract, on a duration basis, to a Treasury yield curve at year-end, plus
40 basis points. Fair value for security-backed investment contracts was
derived from outside sources, based on the type of investment held.
GICs provide a fixed crediting interest rate, and a financially responsible
entity guarantees liquidity at contract value prior to maturity for any and
all participant-initiated benefit withdrawals, loans, or transfers arising
under the terms of the Plan, which allows access for all participants.
Synthetic GICs operate similarly to a separate account guaranteed
investment contract, except that the assets are placed in a trust with
ownership by the Plan rather than a separate account of the issuer and a
financially responsible third party issues a wrapper contract that provides
that participants can, and must, execute Plan transactions at contract
value.
Inasmuch as trust assets are owned by the Plan, the wrapper contract and
the assets in trust are separately valued and disclosed. The wrapper
contract is valued at the difference between the fair value of the trust
assets and the contract value attributable by the wrapper to such assets.
When considered together, the trust assets and the wrapper contract are
reported at the wrapper contract value because participants are guaranteed
return of principal and accrued interest.
During 2003 and 2002, the average yield earned on amounts invested in the
GICs was 4.69% and 5.52%, respectively. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002,
the average crediting interest rate on such contracts was 4.73% and 4.97%,
respectively. There were no valuation reserves recorded to adjust contract
amounts during the Plan years. Crediting rate resets are applied to
specific investment contracts, as determined at the time of purchase. The
reset values for security-backed investment rates are a function of
contract value,

(6) INVESTMENT IN MASTER TRUST
The Plan's investment assets include a convertible bond fund in which other
plans also invest. This convertible bond fund is managed by Advent Capital
Management and is one of the master trust investment accounts (Advent MTIA)
in the OPC Master Retirement Trust. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the
Plan's investment in the assets of Advent MTIA represented an individual
interest of approximately 15% and 10%, respectively.
The following table presents the aggregate fair value of investments held
by, and investment income earned by, the Advent MTIA, in which the Plan
owns an undivided interest, as stated above (dollar amounts in thousands):

(7) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Trustee and OPC are parties in interest as defined by ERISA. The
Trustee invests certain plan assets in its Collective Short-Term Investment
Fund and the OXY Stock Fund. Such transactions qualify as party-in-interest
transactions permitted by the Department of Labor regulations. Expenses
paid by the Plan to the Trustee for the years ended December 31, 2003 and
2002 were insignificant.

(8) PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan
termination, participants would become 100% vested in their Employer
contributions.
(9) TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
letter dated February 24, 2003, that the Plan and related trust are
designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. However, the
Committees, using their judgment and the advice of their advisors, believe
that the Plan is currently designed and operating in a manner that
preserves its tax-qualified status.
