Truist Securities&nbsp;analyst Neal Dingmann reiterated a Buy rating on the shares of&nbsp;Occidental Petroleum Corp&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OXY#NYSE">OXY</a>) with a price target of $80.00.

Occidental announced the $1.1 billion acquisition of existing technology provider&nbsp;Carbon Engineering Ltd&nbsp;in order to expedite&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/08/33871148/occidental-petroleum-inks-1-1b-acquisition-deal-to-accelerate-net-zero-strategy" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">future direct air recapture (DAC) projects.</a>

While the purchase price is not terribly material for OXY, the purchase price is large enough to understand the company&rsquo;s future DAC focus, noted the analyst.

While the analyst would have likely preferred OXY to use the $1.1 billion for debt repayment first, the analyst understands the need to strengthen the DAC iron is hot.&nbsp;

The analyst believes the new company should soon generate incremental revenue from technology licensing and royalties, among other things.

Following last week&rsquo;s DOE announcement of OXY&rsquo;s IRA-funded award regarding the South Texas DAC Hub, today&rsquo;s acquisition reinforces OXY&rsquo;s long-term commitment towards DAC technology playing a key role in the company&rsquo;s low carbon ventures, said the analyst.

The deal, according to the analyst, not only brings the IP rights and expertise under the OXY umbrella through its&nbsp;1PointFive&nbsp;subsidiary, but it also creates a new technology based revenue stream through licensing and royalties agreements of Carbon Engineering&rsquo;s technology.

OXY has a DAC specific construction partnership with global engineer and constructor,&nbsp;Worley Ltd&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WYGPF#OTC">WYGPF</a>) that will likely continue to grow alongside the DAC program, added the analyst.

Price Action: OXY shares are trading higher by 0.81% at $63.03&nbsp;on the last check Wednesday.
