Created by combining two Canadian units of Occidental Petroleum in 1971, Nexen has long been plagued by falls in its production, profits and share prices. Before the takeover announcement, its shares traded at about 58 percent of their 2008 high. Last year, its profit fell 37 percent, to $697 million, over the previous year.

Nexen's relationship with Cnooc initially developed because of one of its many problems. The Chinese company last year took over OPTI Canada, Nexen's bankrupt partner in an oil sands joint venture, paying $2.1 billion for its 35 percent holding. That project, at Long Lake, Alberta, has been troubled by production delays and problems.

Analysts at Nomura criticized the deal as "value-destructive," pointing to potential difficulties of extracting oil from Nexen's international holdings.
