Did you know2023
OxyVinyls (OxyChem) is a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (Oxy) -- an oil and gas exploration company best known for its Texas Permian Basin crude oil production. OxyChem is Oxy's chemical arm, integrated from petroleum feedstocks (ethylene dichloride via ethylene/chlorine reaction) to PVC resin. The same company drilling for oil in the Permian Basin also manufactures the medical-grade PVC resin that becomes the IV tubing in US hospitals and the blood bags used in emergency medicine. OxyChem's medical PVC is produced under cGMP conditions and must comply with FDA requirements for direct contact with blood and intravenous fluids -- making an oil company's chemical subsidiary a critical supplier for US healthcare emergency capacity. When hurricane season disrupts Gulf Coast chemical plants (OxyChem has facilities in Freeport, TX and other Gulf locations), both hospital IV tubing supply and oil drilling chemicals are simultaneously at risk.
