Occidental Petroleum's Embraer ERJ-175, tail N170XY, flew from Midland International Air and Space Port to Houston's George Bush Intercontinental on May 28, a 69-minute hop across Texas. The aircraft, part of the company's three-plane fleet, typically serves as an employee shuttle between the Permian Basin operations and Houston headquarters.

The same week, Occidental Petroleum's CEO Vicki Hollub returned to Houston from Westchester County, New York, on May 27, according to the company's flight data. That trip likely followed the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference, where Hollub discussed Occidental Petroleum's carbon capture strategy and Permian Basin outlook, as covered by Bloomberg.

The Midland-to-Houston leg is a routine route for Occidental Petroleum, which maintains a heavy presence in the Permian. The shuttle's frequent trips between KMAF and KIAH reflect the company's operational rhythm—moving executives and staff between the field and the C-suite.
