The total cost was about $24 billion, a figure close to Anadarko's market cap at the time. Dialogues and the concurrent deal flows were completed in a matter of months.
The particular dynamics of this "deal" were amazing. Anadarko, Kerr-McGee and Western were all companies with rich and dynamic histories. The mix of people, processes and resources involved in these deals was powerful and not simple. The statement presented a real investor relations challenge for Anadarko. How would the deals be explained by Anadarko? How would the businesses unite to develop the most value? What would be divested to pay the cash back? How was this pulled off so quickly and effectively? Subjects include Mergers & Acquisitions
