Occidental's 2024 10-K risk disclosures reflect a strategic shift toward the CrownRock Acquisition, with 11 new risks directly addressing acquisition financing, completion, and integration challenges, alongside added disclosure on climate regulation and operational resource constraints. The company removed COVID-19 pandemic risk language while substantially modifying 16 existing risks, particularly those related to commodity price volatility, reserve replacement, and asset impairment assessments. The net addition of 12 risks (15 added minus 3 removed) signals materially increased risk exposure driven by the transformational acquisition and evolving regulatory environment.
