TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says the companies could deliver money to shareholders without sacrificing growth.

What happens if the oil companies start actually recognizing their good fortune -- their sustainable good fortune -- and start boosting dividends the way that Tidewater (NYSE: TDW) (Cramer's Take) did last week with its 67% hike.

Throughout this great run with oil and gas, it seems that the companies themselves haven't caught up with the good fortune. They haven't spent that much on drilling relative to profits, and they have chosen to buy a lot of stock back, never bad. But what if they start returning the profits to shareholders in the form of dividends?

I think that what could happen is that you wouldn't think that Chevron (NYSE: CVX) (Cramer's Take) and Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY) (Cramer's Take) and Exxon (NYSE: XOM) (Cramer's Take) are such nose-bleeders.

Readers of this space know that a preferred sector given current U.S. economic and global growth conditions is the oil / oil services sector.

Further, a mild oil price pull-back does not change the sector's outlook, nor does it change the prospects for Occidental Petroleum (NYSE: OXY).

Occidental has what many analysts like: a geographically diverse reserve base, demonstrated production, substantial liquidity, and ample reserves.
