= Global Snapshot =

Forbes ranked Hess Corporation as the 268th largest company in the world by market capitalisation in 2012. It is an integrated global company working in both the Exploration and Production (E&P) and Marketing and Refining (M&R) sectors. E&P activities take place primarily in Algeria, Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Brunei, China, Denmark, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, France, Ghana, Indonesia, the Kurdistan region of Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Norway, Peru, Russia, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Hess was founded by Leon Hess in 1933, who went on to lead the company for six decades. In 1969 Hess Oil and Chemical Company merged with Amerada Petroleum Company to form Amerada Hess. However, in 2006 the company reverted to being known as the Hess Corporation.

Company Report Highlights
Hess' Annual Report reveals that in 2010, proven reserves increased by 7% to 1,537 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe). Net income for the year showed an impressive rise of 187% to $2.1 billion, reflecting higher crude oil selling prices and increased retail and energy marketing earnings, which offset the impact of weaker refining results. Production of crude oil and natural gas liquids in the US in 2010 rose slightly, however production internationally saw a slight decline of 1.8% on 2009 figures to 218,000 barrels per day (bpd).

Significant progress was made in building Hess' position in unconventional resources over 2010. In addition to acquisitions in the Bakken shale assets in the US, 90,000 acres were secured at Eagle Ford in South Texas and internationally, and joint study agreements were signed with PetroChina and Sinopec in China. The company's capital and exploratory budget for 2011 was $5.6 billion, with the majority targeted towards E&P ($3.1 billion for production, $1.6 billion for developments and $900 million for exploration).

Results released for the Second Quarter of 2011 show that net income was $607 million, up 61.9% on figures for the same period in 2009. Oil and gas production saw a 10.4% decrease to 372,000 boe per day, primarily reflecting the suspension of production in Libya due to the revolution, as well as the sale of natural gas producing assets in the UK in February 2011.
