Occidental Petroleum is a top contender in the auction for CrownRock, a Permian basin energy producer in West Texas, with a bid exceeding $10 billion. The imminent sale reflects the high demand for lucrative positions in the Permian basin, America's largest oilfield, where CrownRock owns about 86,000 net acres.
U.S. gas prices have been on a declining trajectory since mid-September, dropping to a national average of just below $3.25, influenced by seasonal demand changes, easing inflation, and recent decreases in oil prices. While the current trend suggests continued lower prices into the New Year, potential actions by OPEC+ and global events like the Israel-Hamas conflict could cause future fluctuations.
