Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which got the go-ahead last month from US regulators to buy as much as half of the oil giant, holds a 20.2% stake in Occidental Petroleum Corp.
The level of ownership was confirmed late Friday in a federal filing.
Berkshire has spent this year expanding its ownership in Occidental after first making a bet on the Houston-based oil company three years ago. In approving Berkshire’s request on Aug. 19, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said the proposed stock purchases would be consistent with the public interest.
