OXY just keeps on falling. To date, this has not worked out well for Buffett. It is down about 1/4 from 2022 purchases. In general, oil stocks have become very good buys during large recessions. Buffett has had mixed results in this sector with a home run with PBR. He had very poor timing with purchase of COP.
Question - Does anyone have good insight into OXY future and risk? Could they get into financial trouble again?

I would say with Buffett around, hard to get into 'financial' troubles, but can the business can suffer if oil prices go down, as buffett has said "its a bet, ultimately on oil prices"-
You correctly note that Oil has been a mixed bag for Warren. Doesn't matter how much you read and study, predicting the price of oil is an impossibility imo.
I wouldn't touch it - learned my lesson on COP
Buffett can lose material amounts of money, he did it recently with Paramount
