All OG's have no xG value. If we gave an xG value for own goals we would have to basically include values for every back pass or clearance towards you own goal. Same with penalties, I always include them because it is an event that will impact the game but you couldn't put an xG value on an innocuous looking hand ball or foul where no attempt on goal has been made.
