Chevron, Texaco merger could fuel gains for Shell
Article Abstract:
Chevron Corp., the third-biggest oil company in the United States, intends to acquire Texaco Inc., the fourth-largest oil firm in the US, for $42 billion. The negotiation between Texaco and Chevron is reported to be still in the preliminary stages. Meanwhile, Shell Oil Co. is expected to benefit from the merger between Texaco and Chevron, as Texaco would have to sell as many assets as it would add when the merger progresses.
