Occidental Petroleum Corp.’s private jet touched down in Omaha this week, home to its biggest investor Warren Buffett, as Chief Executive Officer Vicki Hollub considers a shale oil deal worth at least $10 billion.
The plane flew from Houston, where Occidental’s headquarters are located, to Eppley Airfield in Omaha on Nov. 27 and stayed grounded for about three hours, according to ADS-B Exchange, a flight tracking website. It then flew to New York for a brief stop before returning to Houston just after midnight.
