Occidental Petroleum beat Wall Street expectations for third-quarter profit on Monday, as higher production helped the U.S. shale producer counter weaker oil prices.
U.S. oil and gas output rose to a record in August even as benchmark Brent crude fell more than 13% in the reported period on OPEC+ supply increases and slowing global demand.
Occidental, which said it benefited from its $12 billion acquisition of CrownRock in August last year, reported quarterly average global production of 1.46 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (MMboepd), up from 1.41 MMboepd a year earlier.
Realized oil prices fell to $64.78 per barrel in the July-September period, from $75.33 a year earlier.
Larger rivals Exxon Mobil and Chevron also beat analysts' expectations for third-quarter profit, buoyed by higher production.
Occidental expects production to be in the range of 1.44 MMboepd to 1.48 MMboepd in the current quarter. Analysts on average were expecting production of 1.44 MMboepd during the fourth quarter, according to data compiled by LSEG
However, shares fell marginally in extended trading after the results.
