Why the debt update matters
At 2026Q2, OXY reported:
$12.80B long-term debt plus roughly $0.58B current debt , or approximately $13.38B gross debt .
$4.15B cash , implying approximately $9.23B net debt . This is not interchangeable with the company’s apparent gross-debt $10B objective.
Gross debt fell by $1.69B , or 11.19% , from approximately $15.07B at 2026Q1.
Q2 operating cash flow was $4.27B and capex was $1.66B , leaving approximately $2.61B before financing and shareholder distributions.
That leaves about $3.38B of gross debt to retire to reach $10B. At the Q2 pace, that represents about two quarters of comparable reductions—consistent with an expected Q4 completion rather than a Q3 finish.| Side | Price | Filled | Realized P&L |
