November 2, 2023

In October 2023, Chevron entered an agreement to fully acquire Hess Corporation in a deal valued at USD 60 billion including debt.

Along with assets in the USA, the acquisition will see Chevron take over Hess Corporation’s 33.33% interest in Suriname’s offshore Block 59 and its 30% stake in the nearby Stabroek block offshore Guyana.

 

The acquisition has given Chevron a powerful position in the Guyana-Suriname offshore, where it now holds the following interests:

  • 40% in Suriname’s Block 5
  • 80% in Suriname’s Block 7
  • 66.6% in Suriname’s Block 42
  • 33.3% in Suriname’s Block 59
  • 30% in Guyana’s Stabroek block
