Upset in the Works for Chevron Asset Sale

Tuesday, May 22, 2018

The deal between Chevron and Sinopec for the US firm’s assets in southern African could be nearing an upset. According to a Bloomberg report, Glencore is near a $1 billion deal with Chevron to buy those assets.

Chevron agreed last year to sell its 75% stake in the southern African business to China’s Sinopec, but the deal stalled after black-owned minority partners backed by Glencore exercised a pre-emptive right on the stake.

The assets include a 100,000 bpd refinery in Cape Town and more than 800 gas stations in South Africa and neighboring Botswana.
