SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY
SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Segment earnings exclude income taxes, interest income, interest expense, environmental remediation expenses, unallocated corporate expenses and discontinued operations, but include gains and losses from divestitures of segment assets and income from the segments’ equity investments. Seasonality is not a primary driver of changes in Occidental’s consolidated quarterly earnings during the year.

| Asset impairments and related items - domestic (d) | $(334) | $(209) | $— |
| Legal settlements | $(54) | $26 | $— |
(a)Results included significant items affecting comparability discussed in the footnotes below.
(b)The 2024 amount included $572 million of losses primarily related to the sale of non-core onshore U.S. assets. The 2023 and 2022 amounts included gains on sales primarily related to certain non-strategic assets in the Permian Basin of $142 million and $148 million, respectively.
(c)The 2023 and 2022 amounts of $25 million and $55 million, respectively, included post-closing consideration earned as a result of certain production and pricing targets being met as well as the closing of the sale of certain assets that were negotiated with the 2020 Colombia divestiture.
(d)The 2024 amount included a pre-tax impairment of $334 million related to certain wells in the Gulf of America whose future net cash inflows did not indicate that the asset value is recoverable. The 2023 amount included a pre-tax impairment of $180 million related to undeveloped acreage in the northern non-core area of the Powder River Basin where Occidental decided not to pursue future exploration and appraisal activities as well as a $29 million impairment related to an equity method investment in Black Butte Coal Company.
Domestic oil and gas results, excluding significant items affecting comparability, decreased in 2024, compared to 2023, primarily due to lower realized oil and natural gas prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes across all commodities, largely driven by the CrownRock Acquisition. International oil and gas results, excluding significant items affecting comparability, decreased in 2024, compared to 2023, primarily due to lower oil and NGL prices and higher lease operating costs, partially offset by higher sales volumes.

(a)Natural gas volumes have been converted to Boe based on energy content of six Mcf of gas to one barrel of oil. Boe equivalence does not necessarily result in price equivalence. Please refer to the Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (unaudited) section of this Form 10-K for additional information on oil and gas production and sales.
Average daily production volumes from ongoing operations increased by 9% in 2024, compared to 2023. The increase in production was primarily related to increased U.S. onshore production, including volumes from the CrownRock
Acquisition closed on August 1, 2024, higher DJ basin production from new development activities and higher Al Hosn Gas production, as the Al Hosn Gas expansion project was completed in the second quarter of 2023.
Lease Operating Expense
The following table sets forth the average lease operating expense per Boe from ongoing operations for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average lease operating expense per Boe | $9.75 | $10.48 | $9.52 |
Average lease operating expense per Boe decreased in 2024, compared to 2023, primarily due to lower operational costs as a result of the CrownRock Acquisition and operational efficiencies.

Chemical segment results decreased in 2024, compared to 2023, driven primarily by lower realized pricing across most product lines, partially offset by improved demand across most product lines and lower energy costs.

(b)The 2024, 2023 and 2022 amounts included gains on sale of $489 million, $51 million and $62 million, respectively, from the sales of 19.5 million, 5.1 million and 10.0 million limited partner units in WES, respectively.

Midstream and marketing segment results, excluding items affecting comparability, increased in 2024, compared to 2023, due to higher income in the gas marketing business as a result of higher gas transportation spreads from the Permian to the Gulf Coast and higher equity method investment income from WES, partially offset by higher activities in OLCV.
