Excluding the impact of items affecting comparability, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, reflected higher domestic crude oil volumes and prices, partially offset by lower domestic gas prices in the oil and gas segment, and higher gas marketing income as a result of improved gas transportation spreads from the Permian to the Gulf Coast in the midstream and marketing segment.
Excluding the impact of items affecting comparability, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, reflected lower realized prices across most products in the chemical segment and lower domestic natural gas prices and crude oil volumes in the oil and gas segment, partially offset by higher product demand and favorable energy and ethylene prices in the chemical segment and higher domestic crude oil prices in the oil and gas segment.

Net sales increased for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to higher domestic crude oil prices and volumes in the oil and gas segment. The increase in volume was primarily due to production resuming in Eastern Gulf of Mexico in April 2024, which was previously shut-in due to a third-party outage. Net sales also improved because of improved gas transportation spreads from the Permian to the Gulf Coast in the midstream and marketing segment.
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from a legal settlement related to the Andes Arbitration. For further information on the Andes Arbitration, see Note 9 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies.
Net sales decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to the expiration of supply contracts in the midstream and marketing segment, which also decreased purchased commodities for the same periods, lower realized prices across most products in the chemical segment and lower domestic natural gas prices and lower domestic oil volumes in the oil and gas segment, due to a third-party shut-in in Eastern Gulf of Mexico that impacted production in 2024, partially offset by higher crude oil prices.
Purchased commodities decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to lower volumes on third-party crude purchases as certain crude supply contracts expired in 2023 in the midstream and marketing segment.
Asset impairments and other charges for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included a pre-tax impairment of $180 million related to undeveloped acreage in the northern non-core area of the Powder River Basin and a $29 million impairment related to an equity method investment in the Black Butte Coal Company.
Other operating and non-operating expense increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to the $260 million remeasurement of the valuation allowance for the Maxus Liquidating Trust recorded in 2023 and higher legal settlement costs and increases in compensation costs in 2024.
Income from equity investments and other increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to gains on sales of assets recognized by WES, an equity method investee.
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted from a legal settlement related to the Andes Arbitration. For further information on the Andes Arbitration, see Note 9 - Lawsuits, Claims, Commitments and Contingencies.
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Occidental’s principal businesses consist of three reporting segments: oil and gas, chemical and midstream and marketing. The oil and gas segment explores for, develops and produces oil and condensate, NGL and natural gas. The chemical segment is operated by our subsidiary Occidental Chemical Corporation (OxyChem), which mainly manufactures and markets basic chemicals and vinyls. The midstream and marketing segment purchases, markets, gathers, processes, transports and stores oil (which includes condensate), NGL, natural gas, CO 2 and power. It also optimizes its transportation and storage capacity and invests in entities that conduct similar activities such as WES.
The midstream and marketing segment also includes Occidental's low-carbon ventures businesses. Occidental's low-carbon ventures businesses seek to leverage Occidental’s legacy of carbon management expertise to develop carbon capture, utilization and storage projects, including the commercialization of direct air capture technology, invest in other low-carbon technologies intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Occidental's operations and strategically partner with other industries to help reduce their emissions.

Oil and gas segment earnings increased to $1.6 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared with segment earnings of $1.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Excluding the impact of items affecting comparability, the increase in oil and gas segment results was primarily due to higher domestic crude oil volumes and lower depreciation, depletion and amortization rates, as Gulf of Mexico had overcome the extended third-party outage in mid-April, and higher domestic crude oil prices, partially offset by lower domestic gas prices and higher domestic lease operating and transportation expenses.
The increase in average daily sales volumes of 85 Mboe/d for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, was primarily due to resumed production in Eastern Gulf of Mexico after a third party shut-in during the first quarter of 2024.
Oil and gas segment earnings were $2.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $2.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding the impact of items affecting comparability, the increase in oil and gas segment results was primarily due to higher domestic crude oil prices, partially offset by lower domestic gas prices, lower domestic crude oil volumes, due to the third-party shut-in of production in Eastern Gulf of Mexico, and higher lease operating expenses.
Average daily sales volumes remained consistent for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in average daily domestic sales volumes was primarily due to the third-party shut-in in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, which impacted 2024 production. The domestic decrease was offset by an increase in average daily international sales volumes, which was primarily due to higher Al Hosn Gas production, as the Al Hosn Gas expansion project was completed in the three months ended June 30, 2023.
The following table presents an analysis of the impacts of changes in average realized prices and sales volumes with regard to Occidental's domestic and international oil and gas revenue:

(b)Excludes "other" oil and gas revenue. See Note 2 - Revenue in the notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding other revenue.
CHEMICAL SEGMENT
Chemical segment earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $296 million, compared to $254 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in segment earnings was primarily due to higher caustic soda and PVC prices as well as improved product demand, partially offset by higher ethylene costs.
Chemical segment earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $550 million, compared to $908 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in segment earnings was due primarily to lower caustic soda realized prices, partially offset by improved product demand and lower ethylene and energy costs.
MIDSTREAM AND MARKETING SEGMENT
Midstream and marketing segment earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $116 million, compared to segment losses of $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Excluding the impact of items affecting comparability, midstream and marketing first quarter results increased due to higher gas marketing income as a result of improved gas transportation spreads from the Permian to the Gulf Coast, and lower equity method investment losses in the low-carbon ventures business.
Midstream and marketing segment earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were $83 million, compared to segment losses of $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Excluding the impact of items affecting comparability, the increase in midstream and marketing results reflected higher equity method investment income from WES and higher crude sales margins due to the timing impact in the marketing business, partially offset by higher losses from equity method investees and higher expenses due to the increase in activities in the low-carbon ventures business.
