Acquisition of Hess Corporation
Note 29
Acquisition of Hess Corporation
On July 18, 2025, the company acquired Hess Corporation (Hess), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Hess’s principal upstream operations are in the United States, Guyana and Malaysia. Hess’s operations also include an approximately 38 percent ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP (HESM), with operations primarily in the Bakken shale in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota.
The aggregate purchase price of Hess was approximately $48 billion, including 15.38 million shares of Hess common stock purchased in open market transactions in the first quarter of 2025 and 301.25 million shares of Chevron common stock issued as closing consideration in July. As part of the transaction, the company assumed debt with an aggregate outstanding principal value of $8.8 billion. The shares issued represented approximately 15 percent of the shares of Chevron common stock outstanding immediately after the transaction closed on July 18, 2025.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair value. Provisional fair value measurements were made for acquired assets and liabilities, and adjustments to those measurements may be made in subsequent periods, up to one year from the

date of acquisition, as information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained. Oil and gas properties were valued using a discounted cash flow model that incorporated assumptions for commodity prices, future production volumes, operating costs, development costs, and risk-adjusted discount rates. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined based on the quoted market price of HESM on the acquisition date. Debt assumed in the acquisition was valued based on observable market prices for Hess’s debt. As a result of measuring the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at fair value, there was no goodwill or bargain purchase recognized.

The unaudited pro forma information uses estimates and assumptions based on information available at the time. Management believes the estimates and assumptions to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ significantly from this pro forma financial information. The pro forma information does not reflect any synergistic savings that might be achieved from combining the operations and is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have occurred had the companies actually been combined during the periods presented. The pro forma results reflect pro forma adjustments primarily related to conforming Hess’ accounting policies to Chevron’s, additional depreciation expense related to the fair value adjustment of the acquired property, plant and equipment, elimination of intercompany transactions and applicable income tax impacts.
