What Hess Midstream LP does

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.

Products and services

  • Crude oil gathering & terminaling
  • Natural gas gathering & processing
  • Water handling services

Customers

  • Hess/Chevron Bakken operations (majority volumes)
  • Third-party Bakken producers

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Energy
  • Midstream infrastructure
  • Gathering, processing & terminaling

What could go right

  • Bakken (Chevron-owned) production growth
  • Fee-based contract stability

What could go wrong

  • Concentration risk tied to single Bakken basin/sponsor
  • Chevron-Hess integration/strategy changes

Moat: narrow (installed base, switching costs, regulatory licence). Fee-based, long-term contracted infrastructure tied to Hess's Bakken acreage gives stable, sticky volumes.
