Hess is one of the world's largest corporations. By blending an entrepreneurial spirit with an understanding of the markets Hess serves, the company has grown steadily to become a major force in the international petroleum industry.

The business for the Hess Corporation is petroleum. At home and abroad, Hess explores millions of promising acres both onshore and offshore. Thousands of wells produce oil and gas from Hess's substantial reserves. The company's refineries, among the industry's most sophisticated and efficient, produce quality fuel oils, gasoline and other petroleum products. Whether it's gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, premium diesel fuel, residual fuel oil, natural gas, electricity, or another quality product the Hess Corporation markets, the source of supply is dependable. To move crude oil and refined products, Hess operates a large fleet of tankers and other specialized vessels. The corporation has extensive storage capacity, the largest on the East Coast of the United States, made up of strategically placed terminals distributing Hess products to customers from Boston to Houston and beyond.

Hess markets their high quality fuels to industry and consumers. The essence of the Hess marketing strategy rests on the basic business philosophy to provide customers with quality, reliability, value and extraordinary service. To do so, Hess plans, executes, and evaluates every one of their operations with the customer in mind. In keeping with this ideology, Hess's retail outlets provide both gasoline and convenience store items through the most modern and sparkling clean facilities.

Hess holds true to the vision of being the leading independent in each of their businesses, maximizing shareholder value through superior financial performance, and being in the top one-third of oil companies based on returns on capital employed. By striving to accomplish these goals, Hess has established itself as a true leader in the petroleum industry.
