No basis to Woodside bid rumours – BHP Billiton
BHP Billiton played down speculation it was in talks to acquire a cornerstone stake that could be worth $10.3 billion (A$9.8 billion) in Australia’s largest oil and gas firm, Woodside Petroleum, from Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote).
BHP Billiton, widely rumoured to be considering a takeover of Woodside, said in a short statement that there was no basis for the market talk, which has centred on BHP acquiring Shell’s 24.3 percent stake as a step toward a full takeover.
