Chevron Finalizes $53 Billion Hess Acquisition After Exxon Objection Rejected
Arbitrators clear last hurdle in oil industry’s major consolidation move
Chevron has completed its long-delayed $53 billion acquisition of Hess Corporation after an arbitration panel dismissed ExxonMobil’s claim seeking to pre-empt the deal.
The ruling paves the way for one of the largest recent consolidations in the energy sector, expanding Chevron’s presence in key oil-rich territories.
The closure marks a significant strategic win for Chevron as it strengthens its competitive position against global energy giants.
