Guilt by association? HES (80.76) was down 5% today despite the fact that its production in Libya is de minimis: about 20k boe/d from a JV where HES has an 8% equity interest. (HES does have significant reserves in Libya, but they are offshore and not yet in production.)
By comparison, CVX, which has no operations in Libya, finished 1.6% higher in trading today.
