（彭博社）“雪佛龙公司的高管表示，尽管南美国家之间的敌对言论日益增多，但委内瑞拉和圭亚那之间的边界争端不太可能升级为军事冲突。

首席执行官迈克·沃斯周一在华盛顿特区外交关系委员会主办的一次讨论中表示，“这些问题更多地是通过讨论、谈判和妥协来解决”，而不是军事行动。尽管如此，沃斯表示，雪佛龙“严肃”对待这一情况，并正在密切关注。 

雪佛龙是唯一一家在委内瑞拉开展业务的美国石油巨头。该公司最近同意以 530 亿美元收购 Hess Corp.，这将使其获得圭亚那海上石油开发 30% 的股份。

(Bloomberg) — The border dispute between Venezuela and Guyana is unlikely to escalate into a military conflict despite the growing hostile rhetoric between the South American nations, says Chevron Corp.’s top executive.

“These things are much more often resolved through discussion, negotiation and compromise” than military action, CEO Mike Wirth said Monday in a discussion hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, DC. Still, Wirth said Chevron takes the situation “seriously” and is monitoring closely. 

Chevron is the only U.S. oil major to have operations in Venezuela. The company recently agreed to buy Hess Corp. for $53 billion, which would give it a 30% stake in Guyana’s offshore oil development.
