Hess has earned a place on the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) North America for the tenth consecutive year. The index, which recognizes public companies for outstanding performance across economic, environmental and social factors, is used as a reference by shareholders who consider sustainability when making investment decisions.

Hess announced a discovery at the Tripletail-1 well on the Stabroek Block offshore Guyana. Tripletail-1 encountered approximately 108 feet (33 meters) of a high quality oil bearing sandstone reservoir.

Hess announced today that the Liza Destiny, Guyana's first oil production vessel, has arrived at the Stabroek Block. The Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel arrived following a 42 day journey from Singapore. This FPSO is a significant component of the Liza Phase 1 development, which involves four undersea drill centers with 17 wells.

Hess announced that John Hess, Chief Executive Officer, will present at the Barclays CEO Energy-Power Conference in New York on September 5, 2019 at 7:45 a.m. ET.

Hess today reported a net loss of $6 million, or $0.02 per common share, in the second quarter of 2019, compared with a net loss of $130 million, or $0.48 per common share, in the second quarter of 2018. On an adjusted basis, the Corporation reported a net loss of $28 million, or $0.09 per common share, in the second quarter of 2019, compared with an adjusted net loss of $56 million, or $0.23 per common share, in the prior-year quarter. The improved after-tax adjusted results reflect increased U.S. crude oil production and reduced exploration expenses, partially offset by the impact of lower realized selling prices and higher depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses.

Hess’ financial and production metrics have experienced a marked increase following its move to plug-and-perf (PNP) completion designs and improved well spacing after the price collapse of 2014. The company reported in its December 2018 investor presentation that its adoption of PNP completions is forecast to result in increases in production to about 200,000 boe/d and net present value by about $1 billion.
