| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH EQUIVALENTS | Occidental considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents or restricted cash equivalents. |
| NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST | Occidental and BlackRock formed a joint venture for the continued development of the first commercial scale direct air capture facility. The joint venture is a VIE and Occidental consolidates the VIE as it is the primary beneficiary. BlackRock’s investment is accounted for as an NCI. Each party has committed to make additional investments towards the completion of the direct air capture facility, with BlackRock committed to invest up to $550 million. In addition, Occidental has entered into agreements with the joint venture related to project management, operations and maintenance and carbon removal offtake. Occidental may incur additional payments if certain construction and operational thresholds are not met. Occidental may call the NCI on June 30, 2035 or earlier if the plant does not achieve commercial operations or ceases and permanently discontinues operations. Dividends from the joint venture will be distributed preferentially to the NCI up to a return threshold, then preferentially to Occidental thereafter. The NCI receives preferential distributions in liquidation. Because distributions from the joint venture will not be consistent over time, or with the initial investments or ownership interest, Occidental has determined that the appropriate methodology for attributing income and loss from the joint venture is the HLBV method. Under the HLBV method, the amounts of income and loss attributed to the NCI in the consolidated statements of operations reflect changes in the amounts the NCI would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date if the joint venture was liquidated.
