Grok 3 thinks that CNOOC likely gets to participate (short version):

**Conclusion**:

If Exxon wins the arbitration, CNOOC, as Exxon’s partner, likely has the contractual right to participate in the "win" by exercising a right of first refusal to bid on Hess’s 30% stake in the Stabroek block, per the JOA. However, whether CNOOC actually participates depends on the specific terms of the agreement, the arbitration ruling’s scope, and CNOOC’s strategic and financial priorities. No definitive evidence confirms CNOOC’s exact role or intent, but its involvement in the arbitration filing suggests it could benefit alongside Exxon if the panel rules in their favor. The outcome remains uncertain until the ICC panel decides.[]

I would expect they'd get to buy their prorated amount of the asset, just like XOM did.

Not sure, but that is how my dealership buy/sell agreements are written and intended to work.

We'll see soon enough now.
