Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY - Free Report) is scheduled to release second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 3. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 54.6%.

Let’s discuss the factors that are likely to get reflected in the upcoming quarterly results.

Factors to Consider

Occidental’s second-quarter earnings are expected to have been driven by strong production from domestic assets. The company’s second-quarter results will likely get a boost from contribution from the Dolphin Pipeline project and AI Hosn gas processing plants.

Second-quarter earnings are also expected to have benefited from proper debt management through repayment and refinancing, which in turn are likely to have reduced capital servicing expenses of the company. Occidental is likely to have gained from cost-management initiatives.

Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter production is pegged at 1,163 thousand barrels of oil equivalent (MBOE) per day. The company expects production in the range of 1,140-1,170 MBOE/d and output from Permian Resources within 490-500 MBOE/d.
