知情人士透露，沃伦·巴菲特旗下的伯克希尔哈撒韦接近达成协议，拟以约100亿美元的价格收购西方石油的化工业务OxyChem。不愿公开身份的知情人士称，该交易可能在未来几天宣布。数据显示，这将是伯克希尔哈撒韦自2022年以137亿美元收购阿勒格尼(Alleghany Corp.)以来的最大一笔并购交易。西方石油和伯克希尔哈撒韦的代表均暂未回应置评请求。在多年鲜有大额并购、并逐步减持包括苹果公司在内的重仓股之后，95岁高龄的巴菲特似乎重启攻势，近月来已经对联合健康押注了16亿美元。伯克希尔哈撒韦截至6月底的现金储备仍达3,440亿美元，接近纪录高位。获得伯克希尔哈撒韦投资的西方石油自去年年初以来已宣布近40亿美元的资产出售，以降低债务。该公司去年以108亿美元收购了规模较小的竞争对手CrownRock LP。
