Occidental Petroleum: Streamlined/Efficient Operations Trigger Richer Cash Flow Story
OXY
Published: September 15, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

OXY has demonstrated its ability to drive improved capital efficiency, as observed in the lowered FY2025 capex and the raised FQ3'25 production guidance. These efforts have directly contributed to the reduction of per barrel cost and richer cash flows in H1'25, allowing the management to accelerate their deleveraging cadence.
