(Reuters) - U.S. oil major Chevron ( CVX ) said on Wednesday that hearing for an arbitration regarding Hess' Guyana assets have been scheduled for May 2025.

Last October, Hess agreed to sell itself to Chevron ( CVX ) for $53 billion in stock, but the deal has been challenged by Exxon Mobil ( XOM ), which claims a right to Hess' Guyana assets.
