Arbitration To Uncover Hidden Value Of Hess' Guyana Oil Assets In Exxon Mobil Vs. Chevron Dispute: Report
Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) shares are trading lower on Tuesday. An arbitration panel deciding the high-profile dispute between Exxon Mobil and Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) will reportedly examine the hidden value of Hess Corporation's (NYSE:HES) oil assets in Guyana.
埃克森美孚公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：XOM）股價週二走低。據報道，裁定埃克森美孚與雪佛龍公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：CVX）之間備受矚目的糾紛的仲裁小組將審查赫斯公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：HES）在圭亞那的石油資產的隱性價值。
Chevron and Hess maintain that the valuation of the Guyana asset shouldn't affect the arbitration, arguing that the transaction doesn't constitute a change in control, reported Reuters.
路透社報道，雪佛龍和赫斯堅持認爲，圭亞那資產的估值不應影響仲裁，理由是該交易不構成控制權的變化。
The dispute centers on whether the deal triggers Exxon's right of first refusal. The report noted Chevron's CEO Michael Wirth has ruled out a compromise with Exxon and CNOOC, while Exxon's CEO Darren Woods is considering a counterbid for all or part of Hess Guyana's stake if the arbitration supports their claim.
爭議的焦點是該協議是否觸發了埃克森美孚的優先拒絕權。報告指出，雪佛龍首席執行官邁克爾·沃思排除了與埃克森和中海油達成妥協的可能性，而埃克森首席執行官達倫·伍茲正在考慮對赫斯圭亞那的全部或部分股份進行反標，前提是仲裁支持他們的主張。

"Exxon and CNOOC continue to ignore the plain language of the operating agreement, and Chevron and Hess remain confident that the arbitration will confirm that the Stabroek ROFR (right of first refusal) does not apply to the merger," the companies said in response to Reuters questions.
兩家公司在回答路透社的問題時表示：「埃克森美孚和中海油繼續無視運營協議的簡單措辭，雪佛龍和赫斯仍然相信，仲裁將確認Stabroek ROFR（優先拒絕權）不適用於合併。」
As per the report, analysts suggest Chevron may need to adjust its offer or settle to resolve the dispute, especially if the valuation is higher than anticipated.
根據該報告，分析師認爲，雪佛龍可能需要調整報價或達成和解以解決爭議，尤其是在估值高於預期的情況下。
This month, Exxon Mobil and CNOOC filed arbitration claims asserting their right of first refusal on the sale of Hess' stake in a Guyana oil joint venture, which could obstruct Chevron's $53 billion acquisition of Hess. The arbitration panel's decision is now anticipated in the second half of 2025.
本月，埃克森美孚和中海油提起仲裁訴訟，聲稱他們對出售赫斯在圭亞那石油合資企業的股份擁有優先拒絕權，這可能會阻礙雪佛龍以530億美元收購赫斯。現在，仲裁小組的裁決預計將在2025年下半年作出。
