Occidental bid for Anadarko reached mid-$70s per share before Chevron deal disrupted talks: Sources

Merger talks between Occidental Petroleum and Anadarko Petroleum were ongoing when Chevron announced on Friday it would acquire Anadarko for $33 billion, sources tell CNBC.

The deal announcement by Chevron cut short the talks between Occidental and Anadarko, the sources told CNBC's David Faber, who reported the rival bid by Houston-based Occidental on Friday. The Occidental bid was in the mid-$70s per share and was being structured as a 40% cash deal.

Occidental continues to consider whether it should take the price to shareholders in an unsolicited offer, the sources say.
