An ICC panel has ruled against a joint bid by oil giants ExxonMobil and the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) to block the sale of a 30% stake in the Stabroek oil block off the coast of Guyana.
Hess, holder of that 30% share and the successful party in the arbitration, has subsequently been acquired by Chevron via a merger worth US$53 billion.
The hearing on the merits was held in May 2025.
Further details have been published in GAR.
Hess was represented in the ICC proceedings by a team from Debevoise & Plimpton, including Lord Goldsmith KC and Samantha Rowe in London and Catherine Amirfar in New York, and Charles Kimmins KC.
