中新社北京7月4日电 (记者 邢翀)2022布达佩斯游泳世锦赛当地时间7月3日落下帷幕。    Chevron is buying Hess Corp. for $53 billion and it’s not even the biggest acquisition in the energy sector this month as major producers seize the initiative while oil prices surge.Crude prices rose sharply in early 2022 with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and are hovering around $90 per barrel after ticking another 9% higher this year. That has made big drillers cash rich and they are looking for places to invest. The Chevron-Hess deal comes less than two weeks after Exxon Mobil said that it would acquire Pioneer Natural Resources for about $60 billion. Upward pressure on oil prices are being applied from a number of fronts including the war in Ukraine. Oil markets are being stretched by cutbacks in oil production from Saudi Arabia and Russia, and now, a war between Israel and Hamas runs the risk of igniting a broader conflict in the Middle East. While attacks on Israel do not disrupt global oil supply, according to an analysis by the U.S Energy Information Administration, “they raise the potential for oil supply disruptions and higher oil prices.”Chevron said Monday that the acquisition of Hess adds a major oil field in Guyana as well as shale properties in the Bakken Formation in North Dakota. Guyana is a South American country of 791,000 people that is poised to become the world’s fourth-largest offshore oil producer, placing it ahead of Qatar, the United States, Mexico and Norway. It has become a major producer in recent years with oil giants, including Exxon Mobil, China’s CNOOC, and also Hess, squared off in a heated competition for highly lucrative oil fields in northern South America.“This combination is aligned with our objective to safely deliver higher returns and lower carbon,” Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth said in prepared remarks. “In addition, Hess increases Chevron’s estimated production and free cash flow growth rates over the next five years, and is expected to extend our growth profile into the next decade supporting our plans to increase our peer-leading dividend growth and share repurchases.”=Chevron is paying for Hess with stock. Hess shareholders will receive 1.0250 shares of Chevron for each Hess share. Including debt, Chevron valued the deal at $60 billion. And even with alarms being raised over climate change after a summer of record-smashing temperatures, elevated energy prices have driven more exploration and more drilling, and big payouts for investors. There have been a number of acquisitions focused on U.S. shale fields and another round of consolidation in the energy sector began during the pandemic as big producers sought to cut costs. In the summer of 2020, Chevron announced that it was buying Noble Energy for $5 billion. Chevron made the deal when crude prices were down more than 30% in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. That same year, ConocoPhillips bought shale producer Concho Resources in an all-stock deal valued at $9.7 billion.Last month Britain gave the go-ahead for a major oil and gas project in the North Sea, ignoring warnings from scientists and the United Nations that countries must stop developing new fossil fuel resources if the world is to avoid catastrophic climate change.Chevron said the deal will help to increase the amount of cash given back to shareholders. The company anticipates that in January it will be able to recommend boosting its first-quarter dividend by 8% to $1.63. This would still need board approval. The company also expects to increase stock buybacks by $2.5 billion to the top end of its guidance range of $20 billion per year once the transaction closes.The boards of both Chevron and Hess have approved the deal announced Monday after six months of negotiations, and is targeted to close in the first half of next year. It still needs approval by Hess shareholders. John Hess, the company's CEO, is expected to join Chevron’s board. His family owns a large chunk of Hess. Shares of Chevron Corp., based in San, Ramon, California, declined more than 3% Monday. Share of Hess Corp., based in New York City, fell slightly.。在经过游泳、跳水、花样游泳、公开水域、水球等多个大项比拼后，金牌榜与奖牌榜随之出炉，中国队与美国队都获得18枚金牌，美国队以18金14银17铜位居奖牌榜第一，中国队则以18金2银8铜名列奖牌榜第二位。

二 | 本届世锦赛共有来自约180个国家和地区的2000多名选手参赛。中国队此次派出了游泳、跳水和花样游泳三支队伍参加。中国跳水队此番包揽了跳水项目全部13个单项金牌，另外还获得2银2铜，再次展现出“梦之队”的实力。这是中国跳水队首次在海外举办的世锦赛上包揽全部项目金牌，上一次实现包揽还是2011年在本土进行的上海世锦赛。另外值得一提的是，中国跳水队的世锦赛金牌总数也突破100枚，达到了106枚。

东京奥运会后，中国跳水队进行人员更替，施廷懋、王涵、谢思埸、陈艾森等奥运冠军淡出赛场，此番中国队派出老中青搭档阵容参赛，旨在以巴黎奥运会为目标，通过比赛锻炼队伍、发现问题、找出短板。一众小将迅速成长。王宗源以超强实力和超高分数在男子单人三米板、双人三米板和一米板成就“三冠王”，陈芋汐与全红婵以绝对优势包揽女子十米台冠亚军，还搭档获得双人跳台冠军。

三 | 全红婵临危受命与同为15岁的白钰鸣搭档出战混合全能夺冠，为中国队夺得世锦赛历史上第100枚金牌。李亚杰、段宇、朱子锋等全新面孔崭露头角，在非奥项目上夺冠。

四 | 中生代力量走向成熟。女子三米板陈艺文夺冠，为中国队实现了该项目世锦赛11连冠，她还与昌雅妮合作夺得双人冠军，成为施廷懋后又一个女子三米跳板“双冠王”。练俊杰与杨昊搭档夺得男子双人十米台金牌，弥补了中国队在东京奥运会错失该项目金牌的遗憾。28岁的杨健和27岁的曹缘坚守赛场，本次世锦赛都有金牌入账，“宝刀未老”的他们也将目标瞄准了两年后的巴黎奥运会。

五 | 中国花样游泳队参加了自1986年以来的历届世锦赛，本届比赛中国花样游泳大放异彩，以4金2铜创历史成绩收官，在双人、集体四个项目中全部夺冠，混双两个项目均斩获铜牌。外界不免称赞，世界花游进入“中国时代”。

六 | 虽然花游霸主俄罗斯队的缺席一定程度上“成就”了中国花游的历史性突破，但中国队早已厚积薄发，在不断磨砺中跻身世界顶尖行列——2008年北京奥运会中国队获得集体铜牌创造历史，此后在伦敦、里约、东京连续三届奥运会摘银。正如中国队教练组组长张晓欢所言，对手在进步、项目在发展、规则在变化，积极适应新规则、发挥自己的特长、做好吃苦准备，才能在巴黎奥运会上有更好的表现，最大的对手只有自己。

七 | 本届世锦赛中国游泳队表现低迷，仅以1金4铜收官。杨浚瑄、汤慕涵分别获得女子200米自由泳冠军和季军，张雨霏则夺得女子50米蝶泳、100米蝶泳和200米蝶泳三个项目铜牌。

八 | 中国队与上届光州世锦赛3金2银2铜的成绩相比退步不少，尤其是在男子项目上颗粒无收，这是自2003年世锦赛以来中国男队再次陷入无奖牌入账的境地。连夺3枚铜牌的奥运冠军张雨霏坦言，赛前训练不系统，状态没有调整到最佳，这或许是中国游泳表现低迷的原因之一。不过，虽有遗憾，但也有惊喜——17岁小将潘展乐男子100米自由泳追平全国纪录并跻身世锦赛决赛，这是时隔7年中国男队再次有运动员在百米自由泳比赛中打破48秒大关，他的突飞猛进成为中国游泳在本届世锦赛的一大惊喜。(完)
