California? Nope. Sold out and ran from California. Garbage assets that were run in to the ground, workplace bullying and persecution of people who were different and a total lack of ability to retain anyone near professional staff. Remember LTS 1 fractionation consolidation? A $14MM failure at Elk Hills. Burning people alive due to TOL corrosion and don't get me started on the Vintage or Long Beach properties. How about offshore North sea? Yeah, we all know how great Oxy is up there. Top people working for a top company performed well there. Then how about Bahrain? Nope Tatweer petroleum was a childish and petty exercise in backstabbing that had Oxy run off by the Bahrain oil minister. I know, Oxy are Great in North Dakota. ROFLMAO. $1.6 billion purchase, 600MM sale of Williston assets. That is GREAT. Uhuh. There must be something in Ecuador, Argentina or Brazil. Ummm, no. Ran off from each one of those with massive write downs and a total disgrace as a company due to incompetence and conflicts with governments. Libya must be somewhere......oh, no. Illegal activities and corruption lobbying to bypass US law isn’t exactly great. Oxy have a great environmental record though! You just have to ignore the ranking of 19th worst air polluter in the US, the Petrolia spill, the 30 years of damage with the Maynas Carijano and the ‘we did nothing wrong, Oxy is great’ out of court settlement for an undisclosed fee. I'm sure a company like this can hold its head high with the bigoted bullying endorsed by its 'great' employees.

I see you can defend your company as much as you can defend your work place persecution and bigoted bullying of certain people. Cowards, every one of you.
By the way, nice financials for 2015. Operating loss of $9.756 billion and another 2 billion to add to that in 2016. Great company with Great employees.
