Hess Corporation stock (ISIN US42809H1077) became part of Chevron after a USD 53 billion acquisition completed on July 18, 2025, according to Guavy. The transaction changed Hess from an independent energy producer into a portfolio of assets within Chevron's global energy business.

Chevron completed the transaction

Hess Corporation states that the Chevron-Hess merger is complete. The company website links the milestone to Chevron's global energy portfolio and highlights Hess assets in Guyana.

On September 23, 2026, Guavy reported that Chevron issued 301.25 million shares and assumed USD 8.8 billion in debt as part of the deal. The assumed debt equaled 16.6 percent of the stated USD 53 billion transaction value, linking the financing structure directly to the headline deal size.

Guyana assets anchor the deal

The transaction centered on Hess's 30 percent interest in Guyana's Stabroek Block, according to Guavy. That ownership stake gave Chevron exposure to one of the most important assets transferred in the acquisition and explains why the deal remains central to Hess's corporate identity.

The Hess website also highlights the arrival of the ONE GUYANA floating production, storage and offloading vessel at the Stabroek Block in April 2025. The vessel is assigned to the Yellowtail development and has an initial production capacity of 250,000 gross barrels of oil per day, according to the company page.

USD 53 billion transaction sets the reference

The USD 53 billion acquisition value dated July 18, 2025 is the key reference for Hess Corporation's standalone stock story. Chevron's 301.25 million issued shares, USD 8.8 billion of assumed debt and Hess's 30 percent Guyana interest describe the consideration, financing and asset base behind the completed transaction.
