Chevron to acquire Noble Energy for $5 billion

This image is no longer relevant

On Monday, Chevron CEO Michael Wirth said that the uncertainty of the coronavirus hinders the plan to resume economic activity around the world, which in turn affects oil prices worldwide. Nevertheless, Chevron is acquiring oil and gas producer Noble Energy for about $ 5 billion, which is the biggest deal in the oil industry since the onset of the coronavirus.

"The globe is in the clouds now," Wirth said in an interview. "There is so much uncertainty not only on the trajectory of the pandemic, but also to the public policies that try to manage the risk between the present and the future. We expect volatile economic and price activity," he added.

Chevron is hoping for a sustained increase in demand for natural gas, which depends on the growth of population. It also said that there is a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The acquisition would expand Chevron's property to the Leviathan field in Israel, the largest natural gas field in the Eastern Mediterranean.

It would also include the Colorado shale property in the Permian Basin, which is the top shale field in the United States (92,000 acres or 37,230 hectares).

Highlights of the deal:

  1. Investors will purchase 0.1191 Chevron shares for every Noble share. This is equivalent to $ 10.38 per share, or a 7.5% premium to Friday's closing price.
  1. The total deal value for the enterprise is $ 13 billion.
  1. The deal is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter, subject to regulatory approval.

USD/JPY. 分析與預測

儘管面臨一定的逆風,日元仍維持看漲態勢,同時由於全球風險意願減弱,提高了對避險資產的需求,因此日元備受關注。 對美中貿易衝突快速解決的希望減少,加上對日本可能與美國達成協議的猜測,和對日本銀行可能加息的期待,都支持了對日元的需求。
