An Oxy-Anadarko combination would place the expanded Occidental just below the energy majors on a new ‘super-independent’ tier with ConocoPhillips

Zoe Sutherland, Corporate Analyst, quoted by the Houston Chronicle

In April 2019, Chevron Corporation and Occidental Petroleum both made bids to acquire Anadarko Petroleum Corporation. It sends a message to the rest of the Permian: Being big doesn’t mean you don’t want to get bigger. But what makes Anadarko's position so attractive? In this map-based Insight we examine the sub-surface characteristics of the primary and secondary targets across Anadarko's footprint. How thick is the Wolfcamp? Will the Bone Spring provide upside? And what might the eventual buyer do to improve on Anadarko's performance.
