Exploration and Production:

   E&P net income was $997 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $405 million in the first quarter of 2023. The Corporation’s average realized crude oil selling price was $80.06 per barrel in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $74.23 per barrel, including the effect of hedging, in the prior-year quarter. The average realized natural gas liquids (NGL) selling price in the first quarter of 2024 was $22.97 per barrel, compared with $24.25 per barrel in the prior-year quarter, while the average realized natural gas selling price was $4.62 per mcf, compared with $4.39 per mcf in the first quarter of 2023.

   Net production was 476,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 374,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher production in Guyana and the Bakken. In the second quarter of 2024, E&P net production is expected to be in the range of 465,000 boepd to 475,000 boepd, reflecting planned maintenance in the Gulf of Mexico partially offset by growth in the Bakken.

   Cash operating costs, which include operating costs and expenses, production and severance taxes, and E&P general and administrative expenses, were $10.79 per barrel of oil equivalent (boe) in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $12.96 per boe in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher production volumes.

Operational Highlights for the First Quarter of 2024:

   Bakken (Onshore U.S.): Net production from the Bakken was 190,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 163,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter, primarily reflecting increased drilling and completion activity as well as higher NGL and natural gas volumes received under percentage of proceeds contracts due to lower commodity prices. NGL and natural gas volumes received under percentage of proceeds contracts were 19,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 14,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2023, due to increasing volumes received as consideration for gas processing fees. During the first quarter of 2024, the Corporation operated four rigs and drilled 31 wells, completed 21 wells, and brought 34 new wells online. The Corporation plans to continue operating four drilling rigs in 2024.

   Gulf of Mexico (Offshore U.S.): Net production from the Gulf of Mexico in the first quarter of 2024 was 31,000 boepd, compared with 33,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter.

   Guyana (Offshore): At the Stabroek Block (Hess – 30%), net production totaled 190,0001 bopd in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 112,0001 bopd in the prior-year quarter. The third development on the block, Payara, which commenced production in November 2023, reached its initial production capacity of approximately 220,000 gross bopd in January 2024. In the first quarter of 2024, 15 cargos of crude oil were sold from Guyana, compared with nine cargos in the prior-year quarter. In the second quarter of 2024, 13 cargos of crude oil are expected to be sold.

   The fourth development on the block, Yellowtail, was sanctioned in April 2022 with a production capacity of approximately 250,000 gross bopd and first production expected in 2025. The fifth development, Uaru, was sanctioned in April 2023 with a production capacity of approximately 250,000 gross bopd and first production expected in 2026. The sixth development, Whiptail, was sanctioned in April 2024 and is expected to add production capacity of approximately 250,000 gross bopd by the end of 2027.

   The successful Bluefin-1 exploration well encountered approximately 197 feet of high-quality hydrocarbon bearing sandstone reservoirs. The well was drilled in 4,244 feet of water and is located approximately 5 miles southeast of the Sailfin-1 discovery.

   Southeast Asia (Offshore): Net production at North Malay Basin and JDA was 65,000 boepd in the first quarter of 2024, compared with 66,000 boepd in the prior-year quarter.

Midstream:

   The Midstream segment had net income of $67 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with net income of $61 million in the prior-year quarter.

   In March 2024, Hess Midstream Operations LP (HESM Opco), a consolidated subsidiary of Hess Midstream LP (HESM), repurchased approximately 2.8 million HESM Opco Class B units held by Hess Corporation and Global Infrastructure Partners for $100 million, of which the Corporation received $38 million. The repurchase of the Class B units was financed by HESM Opco’s revolving credit facility. The Corporation continues to own approximately 37.8% of HESM on a consolidated basis.

Corporate, Interest and Other:

   After-tax expense for Corporate, Interest and Other was $92 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $120 million in the first quarter of 2023. Corporate and other expenses decreased by $11 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower legal and professional fees. Interest expense decreased by $17 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting higher capitalized interest.

Capital and Exploratory Expenditures:

   E&P capital and exploratory expenditures were $927 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $765 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to increased drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico. Full year 2024 E&P capital and exploratory expenditures are expected to be approximately $4.2 billion.

   Midstream capital expenditures were $35 million in the first quarter of 2024 and $57 million in the prior-year quarter.

Liquidity:

   Excluding the Midstream segment, Hess Corporation had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 billion and debt and finance lease obligations totaling $5.6 billion at March 31, 2024. The Midstream segment had cash and cash equivalents of $5 million and total debt of $3.3 billion at March 31, 2024. The Corporation’s debt to capitalization ratio as defined in its debt covenants was 31.9% at March 31, 2024 and 33.6% at December 31, 2023.

   Net cash provided by operating activities was $885 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $638 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities2 was $1,729 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with $1,032 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher production volumes. Changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased cash flow from operating activities by $844 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable related to Guyana oil liftings and a decrease in accrued liabilities which includes a payment in connection with the HONX, Inc. settlement. Changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased cash flow from operating activities by $394 million in the first quarter of 2023.

1. Net production from Guyana included 33,000 bopd of tax barrels in the first quarter of 2024 and 15,000 bopd of tax barrels in the first quarter of 2023.

2. “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities” is a non-GAAP financial measure. The reconciliation to its nearest GAAP equivalent measure, and its definition, appear on pages 5 and 6, respectively.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measure:

Forward-looking Statements

This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “will,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which are not historical in nature. Our forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: our future financial and operational results; our business strategy; estimates of our crude oil and natural gas reserves and levels of production; benchmark prices of crude oil, NGL and natural gas and our associated realized price differentials; our projected budget and capital and exploratory expenditures; expected timing and completion of our development projects; information about sustainability goals and targets and planned social, safety and environmental policies, programs and initiatives; future economic and market conditions in the oil and gas industry; and expected timing and completion of our proposed merger with Chevron.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current understanding, assessments, estimates and projections of relevant factors and reasonable assumptions about the future. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our current projections or expectations of future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements: fluctuations in market prices of crude oil, NGL and natural gas and competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry; reduced demand for our products, including due to perceptions regarding the oil and gas industry, competing or alternative energy products and political conditions and events; potential failures or delays in increasing oil and gas reserves, including as a result of unsuccessful exploration activity, drilling risks and unforeseen reservoir conditions, and in achieving expected production levels; changes in tax, property, contract and other laws, regulations and governmental actions applicable to our business, including legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding environmental concerns, such as measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions and flaring, fracking bans as well as restrictions on oil and gas leases; operational changes and expenditures due to climate change and sustainability related initiatives; disruption or interruption of our operations due to catastrophic and other events, such as accidents, severe weather, geological events, shortages of skilled labor, cyber-attacks, public health measures, or climate change; the ability of our contractual counterparties to satisfy their obligations to us, including the operation of joint ventures under which we may not control and exposure to decommissioning liabilities for divested assets in the event the current or future owners are unable to perform; unexpected changes in technical requirements for constructing, modifying or operating exploration and production facilities and/or the inability to timely obtain or maintain necessary permits; availability and costs of employees and other personnel, drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and other required services; any limitations on our access to capital or increase in our cost of capital, including as a result of limitations on investment in oil and gas activities, rising interest rates or negative outcomes within commodity and financial markets; liability resulting from environmental obligations and litigation, including heightened risks associated with being a general partner of HESM; risks and uncertainties associated with our proposed merger with Chevron; and other factors described in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any additional risks described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

As and when made, we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, given these risks and uncertainties, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made and there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will occur and actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement we make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP financial measure

The Corporation has used a non-GAAP financial measure in this earnings release. “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities” presented in this release is defined as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management believes that net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities demonstrates the Corporation’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures, pay dividends and service debt. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for U.S. GAAP net cash provided by (used in) operating activities. A reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (U.S. GAAP) to net cash provided by (used in) operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities is provided in the release.

Cautionary Note to Investors
