Hess Midstream LP

Hess Midstream LP is a fee-based midstream partnership that owns and operates gathering, processing, terminaling, storage and water-handling assets in the Bakken and Three Forks shale plays of North Dakota. It earns most of its revenue by moving and processing crude oil, natural gas, NGLs and produced water for Hess/Chevron-linked volumes and for third-party producers under long-term commercial arrangements.
