BHP is at it again, and could be planning a bid for Anadarko Petroleum, according to the Daily Mail (via DealBook).
Details of the potential deal are scarce, but the offer is supposed to be for $90 a share, valuing the company at $44.6 billion (495.59 million shares outstanding).
BHP was previously involved in a bid for Potash, but that deal was scuppered by Canadian authorities.
Anadarko's shares have surged on the news, up over 6%.
