“This is great for energy security: It brings together two great American companies,” said Chevron CEO Michael Wirth, who has bulked up the company’s shale oil and gas holdings by acquiring US rivals PDC Energy and Noble Energy. The deal gives Chevron a 30% stake in the Exxon and CNOOC Stabroek oil block in Guyana, which is expected to triple to more than 1.2 million bpd by 2027.

CEO John Hess said the government of Guyana and Exxon would welcome Chevron’s entry into the country's oil fields.“We eventually talked about each other’s companies and the strategic fit,” Hess said. The deal follows Exxon’s rapid-fire deals since July for top US shale producer Pioneer and Denbury. Those US$64 billion combined transactions put Exxon atop US shale and cemented the firm’s nascent carbon storage business.

Once the it closes around the first half of 2024, the Hess CEO will join Chevron's board of directors.
