Description: CRC California Resources November 07, 2025

California Resources Corp (NYSE: CRC) is an independent U.S. energy and carbon-management firm headquartered in Long Beach, California. It operates two primary segments: Oil & Natural Gas, which explores, develops and produces crude oil, condensate, natural-gas liquids and dry gas for California refiners and other buyers; and Carbon Management, which delivers its “Carbon TerraVault” service-design, construction, operation and maintenance of CO₂ capture equipment, pipelines and storage facilities-while also running ancillary power-generation assets that support its upstream operations.

Recent operating metrics show CRC produced roughly 30 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in Q2 2024, generating $450 million of operating cash flow and maintaining a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio near 2.1×, indicating moderate leverage for a mid-size E&P. The company’s cash-flow profile is highly sensitive to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices, which have hovered around $85 per barrel, and to California’s stringent emissions regulations that are driving demand for carbon-capture capacity-a market projected to grow at a CAGR of ~12 % through 2030.

For investors seeking a deeper quantitative view of CRC’s valuation and risk factors, a quick look at ValueRay’s analyst dashboards can help surface the most material assumptions and scenario analyses.
