Oil & Gas
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%.
