Kimmeridge Energy Management Co. LLC has amassed a stake in California Resources Corp. and is pushing the oil and gas producer to make changes that include selling some acreage to real estate developers, people familiar with the matter said.
The energy-focused activist investment firm owns more than 3 million shares in California Resources, equivalent to about a 4% stake and has been in talks with the company's management in recent weeks about how to boost its valuation, the sources said.
The ideas pushed by Kimmeridge include divesting California Resources' Huntington Beach acreage in Orange County, which it believes could fetch around $800 million if sold for conversion to residential real estate, according to the sources.

Venezuela, OPEC’s lone member country in Latin America and the Caribbean, is on track to achieve average production of nearly 678,000 bbl/d in 2022, according to OPEC data.
It’s a 3% increase from July supply, but still less than the 695,000 bbl/d average for the first six months of the year.
If production remains steady for the remaining five months of 2022, it will mark the second consecutive year of production growth after reaching a low of 512,000 bb/d in 2020, when Washington sanctions began and the Covid-19 pandemic temporarily drove down demand for oil and other goods.
