I still think Chevron will buy Oxy to get the last laugh on that deal.
No insight, but I would think Chevron would hold off until Oxy has paid down the Anadarko debt off their balance sheet.
Most of the debt is gone. Or at least they are at a point where its no longer a priority. They don't even talk about it on their calls. A year ago it was all they would talk about. Focus now is on share repurchases.


I haven't been following it closely, but I think those are one and the same here. Buffett opted to convert his debt to stock and Oxy opted to dilute shares to pay him in stock. So share buybacks are basically the means of paying off the debt that everyone took on via share dilution.

Again, this is just me hazily remembering following the story on Twitter a year ago.

Horrendous drop.
Thank goodness I bought PXD puts last week at $235

Edit: this was to hedge my current position in PXD
Whens the expiry?

Oct 27th - I bought them when it had dipped to $222ish and then the run back up back is when I bought the puts. Just wanted to secure my gains and hedge.

But I was just hoping for a fat dividend payment announced come earnings at the end of the month.

Apache assets aren't great imo.

Curious if Chevron tries to take a bigger bite and takes out conoco

I can't imagine them doing that. That'd be wild.

It would be, however, Conoco is the best upstream asset that is on the market.

I agree. COP to CVX would be the mega mega deal and wouldn't surprise me to see CVX try.

That said, I don't think Lance is humble enough to sell unless his board forces him.

And I agree. COP has the best on shore North America assets. By far. Better than CVX or XOM.

What is the likelihood of DOJ pushing back hard against these acquisitions? Biden Administration has been fairly hostile to large M&A in other industries. They have lost a lot in the courts though.

I've heard Hess would be a great option for Chevron

Not a bad idea and would get them Guyana exposure.

Not sure if Daddy Warren would approve but Oxy and Chevron merger would be a nice fit. Focus on O&G obviously but the DAC portion would make people happy.

Hess has a very different culture which could be a hurdle.

A COP takeout would be yuge, mainly for the various positions across Permian, EF, Alaska, international

so is the Pioneer to Exxon thing a done deal? Or just rumors?

It's more than a rumor. It's in progress but not done.

Very low, XOM is embedded with government on ESG initiatives now. IRA was obviously written with their influence.

All I can do is sit back and laugh at PXD. Karma is coming and I love it. Used to work for them, laid off back in 2019, then as a contractor and let go again. Fck'em and I hope most of the a**holes get laid off. PXD was a shell of its self since the layoffs.

EOG is just such a unique place in how they approach things. Not sure how that folds into a bigger player. Of all the guys, they most likely need to remain independent.

Agreed. I don't think EOG will sell. For the reason you mention and their equity is priced quite high so there's not really a motivation.

From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. And from the inside looking out, you can't explain it.

Holidays
Evenings

Sundays

That's the culture.
