Oil dividend stocks have been popular among those wanting sound investments with minimal intervention. Still, some believe that the ongoing climate crisis and increasing calls for renewable energy solutions mean that these stocks are on borrowed time.

The numbers remain strong: regular oil and gas dividends are projected to grow from $274 billion in 2023 to $287 billion in 2024. And oil companies adapt and continue to invest in green alternatives.

Some High-Yield Oil Dividend Stocks

  1. Chevron (NYSE:CVX)
  2. ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM)
  3. Royal Dutch Shell (LON:SHEL)
  4. Saudi Aramco (TADAWUL:2222)
  5. EOG Resources Inc. (NYSE:EOG)

1. Chevron (CVX)

Chevron is a global leader with diverse operations across the oil and gas industry.

Chevron has increased its shareholder dividends over 36 consecutive years. Steady growth has seen its dividends increase from $1.42 per quarter in 2022 to $1.51 in 2023, making a 3.6% yield in Q1 2023.

With historic yields between 3 and 6%, Chevron has been considered one of the more stable oil dividend stocks in the past decade.



Looking ahead, Chevron expects to increase production at a compound annual growth rate of 3% across the next five years. By 2027, they want to achieve a 12% return on capital employed by increasing margins in the upstream business.

These assumptions depend on Brent Crude Oil achieving a price of $60 per barrel. Chevron's management has said that would help to further increase dividends over the next five years.

2. ExxonMobil (XOM)

ExxonMobil is one of the world's largest oil companies, producing an estimated 1.3 million daily barrels.

The company also operates deep-water, heavy oil, and Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) assets across 20 countries worldwide.

Exxon's global operations have helped shareholders enjoy dividends of at least 3% since 2015, rising to 9.5% in Q3 2020. Dividends rose by 3.4% in Q3 2022 from their value of $0.88 to $0.91 per share.

ExxonMobil's commitment to increasing capital returns to shareholders is now 39 years long.

As its debt-to-capital rate continues to reduce from 29.2% in 2020 to 16.9% at the end of 2022, Exxon's improving balance sheet does inspire confidence.
