Chevron Closes Hess Deal
Digest more
Chevron struck the deal to acquire Hess in October 2023. Exxon tried to block the move last year, saying it had a right of first refusal to buy Hess’ Guyana assets because of its joint operating agreement with Hess and the China National Offshore Oil Corp., or Cnooc, for the Stabroek Block.
The FTC voted 3-0 to set aside orders barring oil veterans John Hess and Scott Sheffield from serving on the Chevron and Exxon boards, respectively.
