中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯1月28日消息，美国赫斯公司正计划出售在美国的终端网络，并计划在2月底之前关闭新泽西州Port Reading炼油厂，从而彻底退出炼油业务。
该公司董事长兼首席执行长John Hess表示，上述措施将使公司完成转型，从一个综合型油气公司转变为一家主要从事勘探和生产的企业，并使公司能够重新配置大量新增投资，以资助未来增长的机会。
该公司周一表示，预计计划中的终端资产剥离以及退出炼油业务将为公司腾出约10亿美元的营运资金，用于未来其他增长机会。

Hess Aims to Sell East Coast Terminals, Plans to Close N.J. Refinery Next Month
By Tess Stynes
Hess Corp. (HES) is seeking to sell its U.S. terminal network and complete its exit from the refining business with the closing of its Port Reading, N.J., refinery by the end of February.
Chairman and Chief Executive John Hess said the moves "will complete its transformation from an integrated oil and gas company to one that is predominantly an exploration and production company and be able to redeploy substantial additional capital to fund its future growth opportunities."
In addition to proceeds from the sale of the terminal network, the company on Monday said it expects the planned terminal assets divestiture and exit from the refining business will free up about $1 billion of working capital for other growth opportunities.
