Subject: OXY 83% drop in profit

UPDATE 1-Occidental Petroleum profit slumps 83% on lower energy prices
Benchmark Brent crude prices averaged $80 a barrel in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $110 a year ago.

A thought. If profits drop 83% going from $110 average to $80 average, what happens if the 2014-2022 era reappears?
From late 2014 till 2022, the price of Brent never went HIGHER than $85.

It averaged around to $55 in that 8 year period.
Seems that would not be ideal for OXY and would lead to prolonged losses.
