(Reuters) - Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway has acquired 5.2 million shares of Occidental Petroleum Corp, bringing its stake in the oil company closer to 28%, according to a regulatory filing on Thursday.
Berkshire purchased the shares between Dec. 19 and Dec. 21 for about $312.1 million, with its stake in Occidental totaling to 27.7%, a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission showed.
Last week, Berkshire Hathaway acquired nearly 10.5 mln shares of Occidental for about $588.7 mln after the company agreed to buy U.S. shale oil producer CrownRock in a $12 billion deal.
