Hess Corporation today announced a revised $2.2 billion capital and exploratory budget for 2020, an $800 million reduction from the previous budget of $3.0 billion. The company also announced a new $1.0 billion three year term loan agreement. These actions further strengthen the company’s cash position and financial liquidity in response to the sharp decline in oil prices.

CEO John Hess addressed the far-reaching impact of the oil price war on CNBC’s Fast Money on March 12, saying: “The economic problem we're facing today is a lot more than oil, and the oil price crash could be a catalyst that propels the world into an economic recession.”

Salk’s Harnessing Plants Initiative (HPI) will receive a $12.5 million gift from Hess Corporation to advance two projects to enhance plants’ natural ability to store carbon and mitigate the effects of climate change: the CRoPS program and the Coastal Plant Restoration program. These projects build on the Salk discovery of a crucial gene that will help the team develop plants with larger root systems that according to the Salk Institute are capable of absorbing and storing potentially billions of tons of carbon per year from the atmosphere.
