Offshore discoveries turn tiny Guyana into oil hotspot
Oct 23 (Reuters) – Chevron (CVX.N) has agreed to buy smaller rival Hess (HES.N) in a $53 billion all-stock deal that will help the oil major secure a foothold in oil-rich Guyana.
The deal makes Chevron a partner with Exxon (XOM.N) in Guyana’s booming oilfields, which are expected to generate 1.2 million barrels of oil per day by 2027.
Hess is part of a consortium, including Exxon Mobil Corp and CNOOC (0883.HK), that operates in Guyana and has made more than 30 discoveries in the country’s offshore waters since 2015. Exxon had a 45% stake in the consortium with Hess owning 30% and CNOOC having a 25% stake.
