Question

During Occidental Petroleum’s calendar Q3 2024 earnings materials, what was the low end of the targeted CrownRock production range in the 4Q24 production guidance increase, in thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (Mboed)?

TL;DR

Forward production guidance can live only in a company’s IR earnings deck — never filed to the SEC — so a web/EDGAR-only agent simply can’t reach it.

This is the forward figure a web/EDGAR-only agent structurally can’t reach: Occidental’s 4Q24 CrownRock production guidance lives only in its Q3 2024 IR earnings presentation — the Q3 8-K earnings release (the one exhibit OXY furnished to the SEC that quarter) carries Q3 actuals, not this forward range. The agent checked OXY’s SEC filings, then read the deck in a single get_ir_documents call — the CrownRock 4Q24 guidance raise of 156–165 Mboed (slide 9) — and reported the 156 Mboed low end. MetricDuck serves the IR-deck text as a first-class source.

07Thinking

I found the key information from OXY's Q3 2024 earnings presentation (conference call slides). On Page 9, it states: "+9 Mboed 4Q24 production guidance increase (156 to 165 Mboed)" This clearly shows the 4Q24 CrownRock production guidance range is 156 to 165 Mboed. The low end is 156 Mboed. Let me confirm this from the data. The question asks about the low end of the "targeted CrownRock production range in the 4Q24 production guidance increase." From the IR deck page 9, the low end of the targeted CrownRock production range for 4Q24 is 156 Mboed.

The Q3 2024 earnings presentation (conference call slides) clearly shows this on Page 9.

From OXY's Q3 2024 earnings deck (filed/presented in November 2024), the CrownRock 4Q24 production guidance slide states:

> "+9 Mboed 4Q24 production guidance increase **(156 to 165 Mboed)**"

The range shown for the 4Q24 CrownRock targeted production was **156 to 165 Mboed**, representing a +9 Mboed increase. The low end is **156 Mboed**.

FINAL ANSWER:
The low end of the targeted CrownRock production range in OXY's 4Q24 production guidance increase (as disclosed in the Q3 2024 earnings conference call slides) was **156 Mboed** (thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day). The full guided range was 156 to 165 Mboed, a +9 Mboed increase from the prior implied 4Q24 level.
