Oxy output boosted by Permian shale
HOUSTON, May 6 (UPI) -- Occidental Petroleum said Wednesday first quarter production was up 13 percent year-on-year in part because of output from the Permian shale in Texas.
Occidental, known by its ticker symbol Oxy, said first quarter production rose year-on-year by 72,000 barrels of oil equivalent.
"The increase was led by Permian resources which delivered a 46-percent increase to 98,000 boe per day, of which oil production grew by 25,000 barrels a day," President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen Chazen said in a statement
Chazen said the company was using first quarter production results as a springboard for expectations of future growth. The full-year production guidance for 2015 should increase by an average 70,000 boe per day.
