Sept 28 (Reuters) - Occidental Petroleum OXY.N is negotiating the sale of its OxyChem division, a transaction that could value the unit at a minimum of $10 billion, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

The divestment was likely to be announced in the coming weeks, provided it does not hit any last-minute hurdles, the report said, citing two people familiar with the matter.
