Insights

Occidental's strategic $950M asset sales and $7.5B debt reduction strengthen its financial position following the CrownRock acquisition.

Occidental Petroleum is making significant progress on its debt reduction strategy through strategic divestments. The company has signed four agreements to divest select Permian Basin assets, generating approximately $950 million in proceeds specifically earmarked for debt reduction. These transactions include $370 million from divesting non-core and non-operated Permian Basin upstream assets between April and July 2025, plus an additional $580 million from the pending sale of Midland Basin gas gathering assets to an Enterprise Products Partners affiliate.

The broader context shows impressive financial discipline - these recent transactions bring Occidental's total divestitures to approximately $4 billion since announcing the CrownRock acquisition in December 2023. Even more noteworthy, the company has already repaid $7.5 billion of debt since July 2024, with an additional $580 million expected to be applied to debt reduction upon closing the Midland Basin transaction.

This aggressive deleveraging demonstrates management's commitment to strengthening the balance sheet while strategically optimizing their portfolio. By divesting non-core assets not in near-term development plans, Occidental is effectively high-grading its asset base while simultaneously reducing financial risk. The focus on the premium Permian Basin while shedding non-essential assets signals a disciplined capital allocation approach that should enhance returns on capital in the long term.

  • Announced four divestures since April 2025, generating approximately $950 million in proceeds for debt reduction
  • Repaid approximately $7.5 billion in debt since July 2024

HOUSTON, Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NYSE: OXY) today announced it has signed four agreements to divest select Permian Basin assets, generating approximately $950 million in proceeds to be used for debt reduction:

  • Between April and July 2025, completed multiple transactions totaling approximately $370 million, divesting non-core and select non-operated Permian Basin upstream assets not in the company’s near-term development plans to undisclosed parties.
  • In July 2025, entered into an agreement with an affiliate of Enterprise Products Partners L.P. to sell an entity that owns certain gas gathering assets in the Midland Basin for $580 million. This agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval, including the expiration or termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period.

These transactions bring the total divestitures since the December 2023 announcement of the CrownRock acquisition to approximately $4 billion. Since July 2024, Occidental has repaid $7.5 billion of debt, including proceeds from non-core Delaware Basin transactions that closed in April and July, and expects to apply an additional $580 million to debt reduction upon closing of the Midland Basin gas gathering divestiture.

“We are pleased with how we continue to strategically strengthen our portfolio, and it’s rewarding to see those efforts drive debt reduction and create value for shareholders,� said President and CEO Vicki Hollub. “We believe Occidental has the best assets in our history and we will continue to find opportunities to high-grade our portfolio and generate long-term value.�
