Midstream partnership gathering, processing and storing oil and gas for Hess's Bakken (North Dakota) operations.
Midstream partnership gathering, processing and storing oil and gas for Hess's Bakken (North Dakota) operations.
Charges fees per barrel of crude and unit of gas it handles, under long-term contracts with minimum volume commitments from Hess, so revenue follows contracted volumes more than commodity prices. Most volume comes from that one customer, which since Chevron's 2025 purchase of Hess means Chevron's Bakken operation.
Moat: narrow (installed base, switching costs, regulatory licence). Fee-based, long-term contracted infrastructure tied to Hess's Bakken acreage gives stable, sticky volumes.
