Chevron Corp. expects a resolution to a dispute with Exxon Mobil Corp. over a Guyana oil contract in coming months that would allow for the completion of the $53 billion acquisition of Hess Corp. this year.

Exxon began arbitration proceedings in March, arguing it has a right of first refusal over Hess’s 30% stake in the Stabroek Block operated and 45% owned by Exxon. Hess has asked for a hearing in the third quarter and a decision in the fourth quarter.
