Aug 6 (Reuters) - Occidental Petroleum ( OXY ) beat Wall

Street estimates for second-quarter profit on Wednesday, as

higher production countered lower crude oil prices.

The company reported an adjusted profit of 39 cents per

share for the quarter ended June 30, compared with analysts'

average estimate of 29 cents, according to data compiled by

LSEG.
