Occidental Petroleum (OXY) Stock

US oil and gas producer with Permian operations. Here's the price, business snapshot, and what's worth knowing about Occidental Petroleum in July 2026.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY) is a US-based integrated energy company chiefly involved in oil and gas exploration and production, with significant operations in the Permian Basin and related midstream and chemical activities. The company also pursues carbon management opportunities, including carbon capture and utilisation initiatives, which complement its enhanced oil recovery work. With a market capitalisation in the multi‑billion-dollar range, Occidental’s cash flows and profits are highly sensitive to oil and gas prices and to operational performance in its core basins.
