Four of the world’s biggest oil companies - ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, Chevron and ConocoPhillips - will announce Thursday that they are pooling $1bn to form a joint venture to develop a deepwater Gulf of Mexico oil spill response and containment system.

Each will initially invest 25 per cent in a new standalone company, according to sources involved in the plans. BP has not been included.
