Report summary
Chevron surprised many by announcing a proposed acquisition of Anadarko for US$50 billion. But Occidental followed up with a competitive bid for US$57 billion.

How would Chevron's deepwater GoM strategy change with the acquisition? and would Oxy dive back into the deep end and operate in GoM deepwater?
