Oil companies worldwide have been trying to increase production, but are struggling to balance increases without undercutting shareholder returns, Occidental Petroleum CEO Vicki Hollub said on May 11.
The U.S. oil producer, which plans to resume repurchasing its shares this quarter to reward investors, could boost output by as much as 5% next year if returns stay high. But rising service and material costs have limited what companies can do to quickly address the oil supply.
The company increased its CAPEX by $250 million mostly to cover inflation costs, she said. It also gave up on a multi-rig program for its Colorado operations after having its drilling permits restricted to one unit by regulators for the remainder of 2022, she said.
Occidental will resume its share repurchase program this quarter after reaching its $20 billion net debt target, CFO Robert Peterson said during the call. The producer had previously disclosed plans to use $3 billion for buybacks.
