Ambani's Reliance In Focus as EU Warns Refiners Using Russia Oil
Reliance bought Abu Dhabi's Murban crude in a rare purchase late last week, traders said, adding that it picked up the cargo soon after Friday's sanction package. The private refiner isn't a regular buyer of the UAE grade, a premium crude that tends to be costlier than its regular appetite of Russian Urals and heavier Middle Eastern varieties.

KKR Faces EU Probe Into Information Provided in $26 Billion NetCo Acquisition
The European Union opened an investigation into whether KKR KKR 1.62%increase; green up pointing triangle supplied the block's merger regulator with false or misleading information before the investment firm's multibillion-dollar purchase of Telecom Italia TIT 0.72%increase; green up pointing triangle unit NetCo was unconditionally cleared by officials last year. The European Commission approved the companies' deal in May 2024, initially ruling that KKR's bid to snap up Telecom Italia's broadband network assets for up to 22 billion euros ($25.90 billion) wouldn't affect competition in Europe. The watchdog had said the merged company wouldn't be able to deteriorate the conditions for rivals' access to services due to long-term agreements that FiberCop—a joint venture between Telecom Italia and KKR—held with several companies.

Chevron tells Hess staff to focus on safety as they await job updates
By Sheila Dang HOUSTON (Reuters) -Chevron leaders told Hess employees to stay focused on safe operations and that they will hear next week if they will continue to have jobs following the oil producer's acquisition, according to two Hess employees who spoke with Reuters. Chevron, the second-largest U.S. oil producer, closed its $55 billion acquisition of Hess on Friday after prevailing in a landmark legal fight against Exxon Mobil that delayed the closing by over a year. The deal was critical to Chevron CEO Mike Wirth's strategy to improve the business as it sought to cut costs and faced investor concerns about future growth prospects. The company will lay off 575 Hess employees in Houston effective September 26, according to a notice filed with the Texas Workforce Commission, or about 32% of staff based on Hess' headcount at the end of last year. During town hall meetings at Hess' Houston office on Tuesday, Chevron representatives presented a slide that showed safety incidents have risen during volatile periods historically, cautioning them to continue prioritizing safety, according to the two employees, who declined to be named to discuss an internal meeting. Hess staff were told they will be notified next week if they have a full-time position with the company moving forward or a short-term role to help with the transition. "These are difficult decisions which we do not make lightly," a Chevron spokesperson said, adding the company will offer severance and other support. The emphasis on safety comes after Wirth warned Chevron employees earlier this year that the company saw an increase in close calls that could have resulted in serious injuries or fatalities. Chevron and Hess staff were asked not to contact each other until the integration is complete, according to the two Hess employees and an internal Chevron message that Reuters reviewed. "We need them to focus on safe operations and on navigating the complex changes that result from this merger," said the internal Chevron message.
