Forward Guidance

Hess expects higher production in Q2 2025, driven by Bakken and Gulf of America operations, while facing ongoing cost pressures.

Positive Outlook

  • Q2 production expected to increase to 480,000–490,000 boepd
  • Bakken output to rise to 210,000–215,000 boepd in Q2
  • Midstream income remained steady with slight increase
  • Cash flow from operations improved significantly YoY

Challenges Ahead

  • Realized oil prices dropped from $80.06 to $71.22 per barrel
  • Sales volumes decreased across crude, NGL, and gas
  • Cash operating costs increased due to North Dakota maintenance
  • Legal settlement charge of $129 million affected E&P earnings
