☆ Chevron’s $53 billion deal is risky Exxon copycat
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Robert Cyran | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
The $318 billion oil giant said Monday it would buy New York-based Hess (HES.N) for $53 billion in an all-stock deal. The main appeal for Chevron is Hess’s 30% stake in a consortium producing oil offshore in Guyana. Importantly, Chevron is catching up to Exxon, which runs and owns 45% of the same Guyana consortium. Higher production in Guyana after 2024 will increase Chevron’s returns, assuming the price of oil remains favorable. Hess owns a 30% share in a consortium in Guyana alongside Exxon, which owns a 45% interest, and Chinese oil company CNOOC, which owns the remaining 25%.

☆ U.S. Crude Slips Below $70 a Barrel
  + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( David Uberti | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Crude-oil prices have tumbled since the collapses of two banks sent tremors through financial markets. A dayslong selloff in oil dragged crude prices to 15-month lows Wednesday, intensified by new fears that banking-sector turmoil signals broader challenges ahead for the world’s largest economy. Oil prices have tumbled in the sessions since the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank sent tremors throughout financial markets, pushing investors in recent days to unload risky assets and powering a historic rally in safer government bonds. Energy stocks also lost 5.9% Wednesday, making the sector the S&P 500’s worst performer, with shares of international oil majors, refiners, Texas wildcatters, oil-field services firms, rig owners, Appalachian gas producers, coal miners, crude shippers and pipeline operators all sliding.
☆ Analysis: Europe can't look to U.S. shale to fill any OPEC gap
  + stars: | 2022-12-06 | by ( Laila Kearney Liz Hampton Arathy Somasekhar | Laila Kearney | Liz Hampton | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +8 min
U.S. shale production costs are soaring and there is no sign that tight-fisted investors will change their demands for returns rather than investment in expanding drilling. At Helmerich & Payne (HP.N), one of the largest drilling contractors, its R&D budget will rise only $1 million, from 2022's $27 million. The U.S. government expects overall oil production to reach a new peak next year, but it has several times this year cut its forecasts. Shale production declines rapidly after peaking compared to conventional oil wells, falling about 50% after the first year. Lower production rates are "a longer-term prospect," said Mike Oestmann, chief executive of shale producer Tall City Exploration.

☆ Could Wildcatters Spoil the Oil Profit Party?
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Jinjoo Lee | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Harold Hamm will buy the shares of Continental Resources not owned by him and his family to take the company private. When one of the biggest, most vocal oil bulls decides to leave the public-market pen, it is hard not to notice. Continental Resources announced last week that its founder, Harold Hamm , and his family, who already own roughly 83% of the oil and gas producer, will buy the remainder of the company, taking it private for $74.28 a share. That would allow Mr. Hamm, a perennial oil bull, to have free rein and do with his capital what he wants.
