Final-quarter revenue $5.33B 96% of company revenue
Explicit segment contribution $41.27B EBITDA less segment capex, before corporate items

The CEO's 2030 pathway delivered in full, priced as a cost case rather than a price case. The +$4.0B bridge is +$0.8B of oil and gas efficiencies, +$0.1B of midstream savings, +$1.7B of corporate savings, +$0.5B of low-carbon capital reduction and +$0.9B of sustaining capital reduction. The last two are already in the base case - the programme ends after 2029 Q4 and terminal capex intensity lands 2030 capital at $4.50B - so this case adds only the $2.6B of cash operating savings, as +12.2 margin points on Oil & Gas, which puts FY2030 cash flow before working capital at about $12.6B against the deck's $12.7B. Two honest limits: the saving is applied from the first projected quarter rather than phased to 2029, which flatters the near years, and the case holds the exit multiple at 5.0x, so it buys no re-rating at all.

Occidental sells a disclosed number of barrels of oil equivalent at a disclosed realised price, so this line is literally volume times price. Volume is set by the development programme against a base decline management puts at roughly 25% today and 20% by 2030; price is the commodity market. Costs are quoted per BOE, so operating leverage on price is close to total: realised price per BOE rose 36% sequentially in 2026 Q2 and segment pre-tax income went from $1,017M to $2,849M on volume that moved 1,428 to 1,433 Mboed.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Occidental discloses production and realised prices by region and by commodity every quarter but never discloses Oil & Gas net sales by region, so no Permian, Gulf of America or International revenue vertical is attempted. Segment income is split Domestic $2,255M and International $594M in the basis quarter; that is income, never revenue, and is not converted into one here.
  • Units are a quarterly barrel count built from the disclosed daily rate at an average 91.25 days, so a 90-day or 92-day quarter carries about a 1% counting difference the model does not correct. At 1,433 Mboed that is 130.8 million BOE and a derived $52.63 per BOE against the brief's 91-day figure of $52.77.
  • The price path is the single largest assumption in this model. The basis quarter realised $52.77 per BOE at $92.79 WTI, while every 2030 target management publishes is set at roughly $65 WTI. The driver glides realised price to $40.05 per BOE by 2030, which is the 2025 four-quarter mean of $40.03. Against a $65 marker that is 0.62 times WTI, slightly above the 0.538, 0.569 and 0.597 the three quarters with a disclosed marker actually printed; the difference is the domestic gas price normalising off negative $1.48 per Mcf, which is the one thing management said explicitly would revert.
  • The domestic realised gas price of negative $1.48 per Mcf in the basis quarter is a Waha basis dislocation, not a durable price. The CFO said 'With the spread normalizing, we should see the domestic upstream realized gas price also to normalize', so the model does not carry it forward; a normalising gas price is part of what holds realised price per BOE above a pure WTI-ratio reading.
  • Terminal EBITDA margin of 58% is a bottom-up figure, not a guess. Basis-quarter EBITDA of $34.46 per BOE against a $52.77 price implies $18.31 per BOE of cash cost; management's +$0.8B of oil and gas efficiencies by 2030 is about $1.50 per BOE on roughly 525 million BOE a year, and ($40.05 - $16.81) / $40.05 is 58.0%.
