SCOPE OF REPORT This report covers the principal facilities and assets operated by Amerada Hess Corporation and its subsidiaries. It also includes information from HOVENSA L.L.C., our 50% owned refining joint venture in St. Croix with Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA). This report does not include data on oil and gas fields or marketing sites in which we have an equity interest but which are operated by other companies. Data from new assets are included in this report but may be reported separately from Company totals. Data on emissions and other environmental aspects refer to gross figures from operated facilities. Company baselines are not adjusted to reflect material changes from acquisitions or divestitures. In September 2002, the Company completed the divestiture of its U.S. flag tanker operations (marine operations). The divestiture included six vessels, their management and employees, and ancillary assets. Information regarding environmental and safety performance related to the former marine operations is presented in this report through the completion of the divestiture. The format of this report follows the framework of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). However, gaps may exist where GRI reporting requirements are not applicable or are not reported for Amerada Hess operations. Environmental and safety data referred to in this report are available in tabular format in our web-based report at www.hess.com. The reporting format has been modified from previous year reports to reflect changes in our internal data reporting structure. |
