Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01. Other Events
On October 31, 2005, Occidental Petroleum Corporation announced net income for the third quarter 2005 of $1.747 billion ($4.32 per share), compared with $758 million ($1.91 per share) for the third quarter 2004. Included in the third quarter 2005 net income are the effects of three significant items — a $463 million after-tax gain resulting from Valero's acquisition of Premcor, a $335 million tax benefit due to the reversal of tax reserves no longer required and a $98 million after-tax charge from the write-off of certain chemical plants. Core earnings for the third quarter were $1.089 billion ($2.69 per share), compared with $759 million ($1.92 per share) for the same period in 2004.
Oil and Gas
Oil and gas segment earnings were $1.760 billion for the third quarter 2005, compared with $1.216 billion for the third quarter 2004, an increase of approximately 45 percent. The third quarter 2005 included a $9 million insurance premium increase related to hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. After adjusting for the impact of this increase, core earnings were $1.769 billion for the quarter. The improvement in the third quarter 2005 core earnings included $692 million from higher worldwide crude oil and gas prices, partially offset by higher operating, exploration, and other costs and increased DD&A rates.
Chemicals
Chemical segment earnings were $3 million for the third quarter 2005, compared with $141 million for the third quarter 2004. The third quarter 2005 included a $139 million charge for the write-off of two previously idled plants and one currently operated plant, a charge of $20 million for the write-down of a plant and a $5 million charge due to higher insurance premiums directly related to hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. After adjusting for the $164 million pre-tax charges, core earnings were $167 million for the third quarter 2005, compared with $141 million for last year's third quarter.
The improvement in the third quarter 2005 core earnings was primarily due to higher margins in chlorine, caustic soda and polyvinyl chloride resulting from higher sales prices, partially offset by higher energy and feedstock costs. Volumes were reduced and feedstock costs increased as a result of the hurricanes.
Other Items
The $335 million tax benefit recorded in the third quarter 2005 is due to the reversal of tax reserves no longer required as U.S. federal corporate returns for tax years 1998-2000 became closed due to the lapsing of the statute of limitations.
A $726 million pre-tax gain resulting from Valero's acquisition of Premcor and our subsequent sale of 89 percent of the Valero shares received was recorded in the third quarter 2005. Occidental tendered its 9 million shares of Premcor for cash and shares of Valero Energy Corporation stock pursuant to the Premcor-Valero merger agreement.
Nine-Months Results
For the first nine months of 2005, net income was $4.129 billion ($10.26 per share), compared with $1.826 billion ($4.63 per share) for the first nine months of 2004.
Core income was $2.806 billion for 2005, compared with $1.819 billion for 2004. See the attached schedules for a reconciliation of net income to core earnings for the third quarter and nine months.
Worldwide production for the first nine months of 2005 was 561,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, compared to 569,000 barrels for the first nine months of 2004. Horn Mountain's production for the first nine months of 2005 was 14,500 barrels of oil equivalent, compared to 24,500 barrels of oil equivalent in 2004, primarily as a result of weather in the Gulf of Mexico and scheduled maintenance downtime. Compared to a year ago, production under the company's production-sharing contracts in Oman, Qatar, Yemen and Long Beach was negatively impacted by higher prices. If prices had remained at the nine months 2004 levels, production in the first nine months of 2005 would have been about 13,000 equivalent barrels per day higher. The nine months of 2005 included production of 13,000 equivalent barrels per day from the recent Permian acquisitions and the first lifting from Libya of 3,000 barrels per day.

Forward-Looking Statements
The matters set forth in the press release, including statements as to the expected benefits of the Vintage acquisition such as material growth in Occidental's core areas, and other statements identified by such words as "will," "estimates," "expects," "hopes," "projects," "plans," and similar expressions are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect expected results, including a delay in or failure to obtain required approvals, the possibility that the anticipated benefits from the acquisition cannot be fully realized, the possibility that costs or difficulties related to the integration will be greater than expected, the ability to manage regulatory, tax and legal matters, and the impact of competition. Other risk factors that could cause results to differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements in the press release include, but are not limited to: changes in tax rates, exploration risks, global commodity pricing fluctuations and supply and demand considerations for oil, gas and chemicals and higher than expected costs. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the press release. Unless legally required, Occidental undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
The SEC limits the ability of oil and natural gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose reserves other than proved reserves demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically producible under existing economic and operating conditions. We use certain terms in the press release, such as probable, possible and recoverable reserves, that the SEC's guidelines limit in filings with the SEC.
Information contained in the press release regarding Vintage's production, reserves, results, assets and other information has been taken from Vintage's public filings with the SEC. Occidental makes no representation with respect to the accuracy of this information.

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 earnings", 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 earnings is not considered to be an alternative to operating income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The following tables set forth the core earnings and significant items affecting earnings for each operating segment and corporate:
