Exxon Mobil Chief Executive Officer Says Not Trying to Acquire Hess Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) Chief Executive Officer Darren Woods on March 18, 2024 said his company is trying to secure preemption rights over Hess Corporation (NYSE:HES) Guyana assets in its dispute with Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), not buy the company itself. In his first public remarks on the company's pursuit of an arbitration case that could block Chevron's $53 billion deal for Hess, Woods said Exxon would not have waited for Chevron to announce its Hess deal if it had wanted to buy Hess. "We're basically standing up for what we believe is a fundamental right," Woods told Reuters. Exxon is trying to "secure and confirm the rights in that contract gives the existing partners." Exxon wants to "evaluate that value and do what is in the best interest of Exxon Mobil shareholders, given the investments that we've made and all the work we've done to make that successful." Hess and Chevron have said they disagree with Exxon's interpretation of the joint operating agreement that governs the Exxon, Hess and CNOOC Limited (SEHK:883), consortium responsible for all of Guyana's oil production. Chevron's acquisition of Hess has been stalled by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's request for additional information on the merger.
