DJ Hess to Exit Downstream Business
By Saabira Chaudhuri
Hess Corp. (HES) said it is exploring options for its entire downstream business and pruning its Asian portfolio, while also unveiling a share buyback program of up to $4 billion.
In a letter to shareholders highlighting actions Hess is taking to turn itself into a pure play exploration and production company, Hess said it is further focusing its E&P portfolio by divesting Indonesia and Thailand assets, looking to generate money from its Bakken midstream assets--which is expected to be completed in 2015--and fully exiting the downstream businesses, including retail, energy marketing, and energy trading.
