On the record with shareholders

Earnings calls

Q2 2026 Aug 6, 2026 Jackson used his second call as chief executive to replace a quarter with a decade. Rather than sell the June quarter's numbers — a record midstream result, the highest free cash flow since 2022 — he argued that Occidental has quietly rebuilt itself into a company that can add more than $4 billion of annual cash flow by 2030 without pumping a single extra barrel, and that roughly 85% of that arrives even if oil is cheap. His case rests on three structural changes rather than on price: interest expense falling by about $740 million a year as principal debt goes from $11.8 billion toward $10 billion, sustaining capital falling by $900 million as advanced recovery pulls the base decline rate from about 25% to 20%, and roughly $400 million of direct-air-capture spending rolling off once STRATOS moves from construction to operations. On what to do with the cash he was deliberately conservative — debt first, then the 2029 preferred redemption, buybacks last, and any growth only if it is "measured, efficiency-led and clearly value additive."

Watch CNBC's full interview with Occidental Petroleum CEO Richard Jackson

In his first extended TV interview since taking over from Vicki Hollub in June, Jackson walked through Occidental's highest quarterly profit since 2022 and argued the company's next leg of growth comes from squeezing more out of existing Permian assets and enhanced-recovery technology rather than new acquisitions, while continuing to pay down debt.
