(Reuters) â Occidental Petroleum Corp posted a smaller first-quarter adjusted loss from the previous three months on Monday, boosted by higher crude prices as COVID-19 vaccine rollouts and easing travel restrictions lifted fuel demand.
The company, like many of its peers, has benefited from a rebound in oil prices, up about 23% in the first quarter, as global fuel demand recovered after being decimated in 2020 by lockdowns to curb the spread of COVID-19.
The average price for Occidentalâs worldwide crude oil rose to $55.65 per barrel in the first three months of the year, from $40.76 per barrel in the prior quarter.
U.S. oil and gas producers Marathon Oil Corp and APA Corp beat Wall Street estimates for first-quarter profits on Wednesday, as COVID-19 vaccine rollouts and easing travel restrictions powered a rebound in oil prices.
