That sounds doable.

They have ~$2.5B of cash/equivalents and ~$25B of debt. I don’t see what’s exciting about “tons of cash” from that perspective.

They are pinching there suppliers HARD. To the point that they don't care if they even break even.

Supposedly will be able to get that number under $20B due to the sale of OxyChem.

Sure, reducing debt has been a key focus for them since the Anadarko deal and they have executed well in that regard. I actually like OXY too, they have a great asset base, but caution against “tons of cash” as an investment thesis. They also have “tons” of debt.

I don't know about the margins, but I have always heard they have fields with productions costs as low as the Saudis.
