Chevron to buy Hess Corp for $53 billion
Chevron Corp has announced plans to buy the oil producer Hess Corporation in a $53bn deal.
There's a mood of consolidation in the air in the US oil industry - earlier this month Exxon Mobil, the largest American oil-producer, bought oil-explorer Pioneer Natural Resources for $59.5bn. Now Chevron has announced its buying its main rival Hess for $53bn.
The oil industry last went through an era of major consolidation in the late 1990s, following a collapse in oil prices. That's not the case now.
Today, the majors are sitting on piles of cash.
