What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 19% now, 34% at the end of 2027, 42% at the end of 2028, 46% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 46% desk work, 15% people work and 39% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 43% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 47% becomes checking a model's work and 6% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
Headcount
10,412 employees as of December 31, 2025 (stated). The filing's table counts 6,793 employees in North America (65%), 3,441 in the Middle East, 67 in Latin America and 111 elsewhere; the U.S. alone is not stated.
The filing: “The table below shows the regional distribution of the Company's employees working in continuing operations as of December 31, 2025: North America 6,793, Middle East 3,441, Latin America 67, Other 111, Total 10,412 (excludes employees related to OxyChem, a discontinued operation).”
The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Oil and Gas Extraction | 92% | The oil and gas segment, 94% of revenue, produces oil and gas in the Permian, the Rockies, the Gulf of America and the Middle East, and the filing counts employees by region, not by segment, so extraction takes nearly all of the workforce by revenue (c). |
| Other Pipeline Transportation | 8% | The midstream and marketing segment, 6% of revenue, with its pipelines, gas processing and low-carbon ventures, counted by no employee figure, takes a share by revenue and description (c). |
What the filing says about the workforce: 409 union employees (4%), all in the Middle East; 6,793 in North America, 3,441 in the Middle East; OxyChem's employees are excluded as a discontinued operation, which is why the count fell from 13,323.

Questions about this company
- How much of Occidental Petroleum Corporation's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 19% now and 42% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Occidental Petroleum Corporation's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does Occidental Petroleum Corporation employ?
- 10,412 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states.
- What kinds of work make up Occidental Petroleum Corporation's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 2 industry staffing patterns, the largest Oil and Gas Extraction; by those patterns the work is about 46% desk work, 15% people work and 39% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Occidental Petroleum Corporation's annual report say about AI?
- 3 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 2 and 3 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
