(Reuters) - Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said that acquisitions by major oil firms such as Chevron's $53 B all-stock deal to buy Hess showed that hydrocarbons were here to stay.
"Exxon, Chevron didn't buy because they want to have stranded assets," he said at Riyadh's flagship FII annual investment conference, also referring to Exxon Mobil's $59.5 billion all-stock deal for Pioneer Natural Resources.
