Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies | 1. Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies Unless the context indicates otherwise, references to “Hess”, “the Corporation”, “Registrant”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the consolidated business operations of Hess Corporation and its affiliates. Nature of Business: Hess Corporation, incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1920, is a global E&P company engaged in exploration, development, production, transportation, purchase and sale of crude oil, natural gas liquids, and natural gas with production operations located in the United States (U.S.), Guyana, the Malaysia/Thailand Joint Development Area (JDA), and Malaysia. We conduct exploration activities primarily offshore Guyana, in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and offshore Suriname. Our Midstream operating segment, which includes Hess Corporation’s approximate 38% consolidated ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP at December 31, 2023 (see Note 4, Hess Midstream LP ) provides fee-based services, including gathering, compressing and processing natural gas and fractionating NGL; gathering, terminaling, loading and transporting crude oil and NGL; storing and terminaling propane, and water handling services primarily in the Bakken shale play in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota. On October 22, 2023, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) with Chevron Corporation (Chevron) and Yankee Merger Sub Inc. (Merger Subsidiary), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron. The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary will be merged with and into Hess, and Hess will be the surviving corporation in the Merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron (such transaction, the Merger). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Merger is completed, our stockholders will receive at the effective time of the Merger consideration consisting of 1.025 shares of Chevron common stock for each share of our common stock. The transaction is expected to close mid-2024, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hess Corporation and entities in which we own more than a 50% voting interest. We consolidate Hess Midstream LP, a variable interest entity, based on our conclusion that we have the power through Hess Corporation’s approximate 38% consolidated ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP to direct those activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Hess Midstream LP , and are obligated to absorb losses or have the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Hess Midstream LP . Our undivided interests in unincorporated oil and gas E&P ventures are proportionately consolidated. Investments in affiliated companies, 20% to 50% owned and where we have the ability to influence the operating or financial decisions of the affiliate, are accounted for using the equity method. Estimates and Assumptions: In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and revenues and expenses in the Statement of Consolidated Income . Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates made by management include oil and gas reserves, asset and other valuations, depreciable lives, post-retirement liabilities, legal and environmental obligations, asset retirement obligations and income taxes. Revenue Recognition: Exploration and Production The E&P segment recognizes revenue from the sale of crude oil, NGL, and natural gas as performance obligations under contracts with customers are satisfied. Our responsibilities to deliver each unit of quantity of crude oil, NGL, and natural gas under these contracts represent separate, distinct performance obligations. These performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time control of each unit of quantity transfers to the customer. Generally, the control of each unit of quantity transfers to the customer upon the transfer of legal title at the point of physical delivery. Pricing is variable and is determined with reference to a particular market or pricing index, plus or minus adjustments reflecting quality or location differentials. For long-term international natural gas contracts with ship-or-pay provisions, our obligation to stand-ready to provide a minimum volume over each commitment period represents separate, distinct performance obligations. Penalties owed against future deliveries of natural gas due to delivery of volumes below minimum delivery commitments are recognized as reductions to revenue in the commitment period when the shortfall occurs. Long-term international natural gas contracts may also contain take-or-pay provisions whereby the customer is required to pay for volumes not taken that are below minimum volume commitments, but the customer has certain make-up rights to receive shortfall volumes in subsequent periods. Shortfall payments received from customers when volumes purchased are below the minimum volume commitment are deferred upon receipt as a contract liability. Revenue is recognized at the earlier of when we deliver the make-up volumes in subsequent periods or when it becomes remote that the customer will exercise their make-up rights. Certain crude oil, NGL, and natural gas volumes are purchased by Hess from third parties, including working interest partners and royalty owners in certain Hess-operated properties, before they are sold to customers. Where control over the crude oil, NGL, or natural gas transfers to Hess before the volumes are transferred to the customer, revenue and the associated cost of purchased volumes are presented on a gross basis in the Statement of Consolidated Income within Sales and other operating revenues and Marketing, including purchased oil and gas , respectively. Where control of crude oil, NGL, or natural gas is not transferred to Hess, revenue is presented net of the associated cost of purchased volumes within Sales and other operating revenues in the S tatement of Consolidated Income . Contract Duration and Pricing: Contracts with customers for the sale of U.S. crude oil, NGL, and natural gas primarily include those contracts that involve the short-term sale of volumes during a specified period, and those contracts that automatically renew on a periodic basis until either party cancels. We have certain long-term contracts with customers for the sale of U.S. natural gas and NGL that have remaining durations ranging from one Contracts with customers for the sale of international crude oil involve the short-term sale of volumes during a specified period. Pricing is determined with reference to a particular market or pricing index, plus or minus adjustments reflecting quality or location differentials, shortly after control of the volumes transfers to the customer. International contracts with customers for the sale of natural gas are in the form of natural gas sales agreements with government entities that have durations that are aligned with the durations of production sharing contracts or other contractual arrangements with host governments. Pricing for our natural gas sales agreements in North Malay Basin and Block A-18 of JDA are determined using contractual formulas that are based on the price of alternative fuels as obtained from price indices and other factors. Contract Balances: Our right to receive or collect payment from the customer is aligned with the timing of revenue recognition except in situations when we receive shortfall payments under contracts with take-or-pay provisions with customer make-up rights. Generally, we receive payments from customers on a monthly basis, shortly after the physical delivery of the crude oil, NGL, or natural gas. At December 31, 2023, there were no contract liabilities. At December 31, 2022, there were contract liabilities of $24 million resulting from a take-or-pay deficiency payment received in 2021 that was subject to a make-up period expiring in December 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, revenue of $24 million was recognized within Sales and other operating revenues that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no contract assets. Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations: The transaction price allocated to our wholly unsatisfied performance obligations on uncompleted contracts is variable. Further, many of our contracts with customers have durations of less than twelve months. Accordingly, we have elected under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, the exemption from disclosure of revenue recognizable in future periods as these performance obligations are satisfied. Sales-based Taxes: We exclude sales-based taxes that are collected from customers from the transaction price in our contracts with customers. Accordingly, revenue from contracts with customers is net of sales-based taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities. Revenue from Non-customers: In Guyana, the joint venture partners (Co-Venturers) to the Stabroek Block petroleum agreement are subject to the income tax laws of Guyana and remain primarily liable for income taxes due on the results of operations, resulting in recognition of income tax expense. Pursuant to the contractual arrangements of the petroleum agreement, a portion of gross production from the block, separate from the Co-Venturers’ cost oil and profit oil entitlement, is used to satisfy the Co-Venturers’ income tax liability. This portion of gross production, referred to as tax barrels, is included in our reported production volumes and is recognized as sales revenue from non-customers. Midstream The Midstream segment earns substantially all of its revenues by charging fees for gathering, compressing and processing natural gas and fractionating NGLs; gathering, terminaling, loading and transporting crude oil and NGLs; storing and terminaling propane; and gathering and disposing produced water. Effective January 1, 2014, certain subsidiaries of Hess Midstream LP entered into (i) gas gathering, (ii) crude oil gathering, (iii) gas processing and fractionation, (iv) storage services and (v) terminaling and export services commercial agreements with certain subsidiaries of Hess, each generally with an initial ten ten with a subsidiary of Hess. These agreements also provide Hess Midstream the capacity to provide concurrent use of these services directly to third parties. The Midstream segment ’ s responsibility to provide each service for each year under each of the commercial agreements are considered separate, distinct performance obligations. Revenue is recognized over-time for each performance obligation as services are rendered using the output method, measured using the amount of volumes serviced during the period. The commercial agreements contain minimum volume commitments which fluctuate based on nominations covering substantially all of our E&P segment's existing and future owned or controlled production in the Bakken and projected third-party volumes owned or controlled by our E&P segment through dedicated third-party contracts. Minimum volume commitments are equal to 80% of the nominations and apply on a three-year rolling basis such that they are set for the three years following the most recent nomination. As the minimum volume commitments are subject to fluctuation, and these commercial agreements contain fee inflation escalators and fee recalculation mechanisms, substantially all of the transaction price is variable at inception of each of the commercial agreements. The Midstream segment has elected the practical expedient under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers to recognize revenue in the amount it is entitled to invoice. If the volumes delivered are less than the applicable minimum volume commitments under the commercial agreements during any quarter, the applicable Hess subsidiary is obligated to pay a shortfall fee equal to the volume deficiency multiplied by the related gathering, processing and/or terminaling fee. The Midstream segment ’ s responsibility to stand-ready to service a minimum volume over each quarterly commitment period represents a separate, distinct performance obligation. During the initial term of each commercial agreement, volume deficiencies are measured quarterly and recognized as revenue in the same period, as any associated shortfall payments are not subject to future reduction or offset. During the secondary term of each commercial agreement, the applicable Hess subsidiary will be entitled to receive a credit, calculated in barrels or Mcf, as applicable, with respect to the amount of any shortfall fee paid. Such Hess subsidiary may apply the credit against the fees payable for any volumes delivered under the applicable agreement in excess of the nominated volumes up to four quarters after the credit is earned. Unused credits will be recognized as revenue when it becomes remote that such credits will be utilized. No credits will be provided with respect to crude oil terminaling services under the terminaling and export services commercial agreement or water handling services under the water gathering and disposal services agreements. All revenues, receivables, and contract balances arising from the commercial agreements between the Midstream segment and the Hess subsidiaries that are the counterparty to the commercial agreements are eliminated upon consolidation. Exploration and Development Costs: E&P activities are accounted for using the successful efforts method. Costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and gas leasehold acreage, including lease bonuses, brokers’ fees and other related costs are capitalized. Annual lease rentals, exploration expenses and exploratory dry hole costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of drilling and equipping productive wells, including development dry holes, and related production facilities are capitalized. The costs of exploratory wells that find oil and gas reserves are capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves have been found. Exploratory drilling costs remain capitalized after drilling is completed if (1) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify completion as a producing well and (2) sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operational viability of the project. If either of those criteria is not met, or if there is substantial doubt about the economic or operational viability of a project, the capitalized well costs are charged to expense. Indicators of sufficient progress in assessing reserves and the economic and operating viability of a project include commitment of project personnel, active negotiations for sales contracts with customers, negotiations with governments, operators and contractors, firm plans for additional drilling and other factors. Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization: We record depletion expense for acquisition costs of proved properties using the units of production method over proved oil and gas reserves. Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and gas production facilities and wells is calculated using the units of production method over proved developed oil and gas reserves. Provisions for impairment of undeveloped oil and gas leases are based on periodic evaluations and other factors. Depreciation of all other plant and equipment is determined on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Capitalized Interest: Interest from external borrowings is capitalized on material projects using the weighted average cost of outstanding borrowings until the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, which for oil and gas assets is at first production from the field. Capitalized interest is depreciated in the same manner as the depreciation of the underlying assets. Impairment of Long‑lived Assets: We review long‑lived assets, including oil and gas fields, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. If the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets are not expected to be recovered by estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, the assets are impaired and an impairment loss is recorded. The amount of impairment is measured based on the estimated fair value of the assets generally determined by discounting anticipated future net cash flows, an income valuation approach, or by a market‑based valuation approach, which are Level 3 fair value measurements. In the case of oil and gas fields, the present value of future net cash flows is based on management’s best estimate of future prices, which is determined with reference to recent historical prices and published forward prices, applied to projected production volumes and discounted at a risk-adjusted rate. The projected production volumes represent reserves, including probable reserves, expected to be produced based on a projected amount of capital expenditures. The production volumes, prices and timing of production are consistent with internal projections and other externally reported information. Oil and gas prices used for determining asset impairment will generally differ from those used in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows reported in Supplementary Oil and Gas Data , since the standardized measure requires the use of historical twelve-month average prices. Impairment of Goodwill: Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on October 1 st or when events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value over fair value, limited by the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. At December 31, 2023, goodwill of $360 million relates to the Midstream operating segment. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents primarily comprises cash on hand and on deposit, as well as highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less when acquired. Inventories: Produced and unsold crude oil and NGL are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost of production plus any transport cost incurred in bringing the volumes to their present location. Materials and supplies are valued at cost. Obsolete or surplus materials identified during periodic reviews are valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Leases: We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating whether the contract conveys the right to control an identified asset during the period of use. ROU assets represent our right to use an identified asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent our obligation to make payments as set forth in the lease arrangement. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as operating leases or finance leases at the commencement date based on the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. Where the implicit discount rate in a lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date for determining the present value of the minimum lease payments. The lease term used in measurement of our lease obligations includes options to extend or terminate the lease when, in our judgment, it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the measurement of lease obligations using the index or rate at the commencement date. Variable lease payments that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances after the commencement date of the lease are not included in the minimum lease payments used to measure lease obligations. We have agreements that include financial obligations for lease and nonlease components. For purposes of measuring lease obligations, we have elected not to separate nonlease components from lease components for the following classes of assets: drilling rigs, office space, offshore vessels, and aircraft. We apply a portfolio approach to account for operating lease ROU assets and liabilities for certain vehicles, railcars, field equipment and office equipment leases. Finance lease cost is recognized as amortization of the ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability. Operating lease cost is generally recognized on a straight-line basis. Operating lease costs for drilling rigs used to drill development wells and successful exploration wells are capitalized. Operating lease cost for other ROU assets used in oil and gas producing activities are either capitalized or expensed based on the nature of operation for which the ROU asset is utilized. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as permitted under ASC 842, Leases . We recognize lease cost for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Some of our leases with initial terms of 12 months or less include one or more options to renew. The renewal option is at our sole discretion and is not included in the lease term for measurement of the lease obligation unless we are reasonably certain at the commencement date of the lease, to renew the lease. Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. We have net operating loss carryforwards or credit carryforwards in multiple jurisdictions and have recognized deferred tax assets for those losses and credits. Additionally, we have deferred tax assets due to temporary differences between the book basis and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Regular assessments are made as to the likelihood of those deferred tax assets being realized. If, when tested under the relevant accounting standards, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to be realized. The accounting standards require the evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence giving weight based on the evidence’s relative objectivity. In evaluating potential sources of positive evidence, we consider the reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback and carryforward periods, the availability of tax planning strategies, the existence of appreciated assets, estimates of future taxable income, and other factors. In evaluating potential sources of negative evidence, we consider a cumulative loss in recent years, any history of operating losses or tax credit carryforwards expiring unused, losses expected in early future years, unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels on a continuing basis in future years, and any carryback or carryforward period so brief that a significant deductible temporary difference expected to reverse in a single year would limit realization of tax benefits. We assign cumulative historical losses significant weight in the evaluation of realizability relative to more subjective evidence such as forecasts of future income. In addition, we recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position only when management believes that it is more likely than not, that based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination. We are not indefinitely reinvested with respect to the book in excess of tax basis in the investment in our foreign subsidiaries. Because of U.S. tax reform we expect that the future reversal of such temporary differences will occur free of material taxation. We classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. We account for the U.S. tax effect of global intangible low-taxed income earned by foreign subsidiaries in the period that such income is earned. We utilize the aggregate approach for releasing disproportionate income tax effects from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) . Asset Retirement Obligations: We have legal obligations to remove and dismantle long‑lived assets and to restore land or the seabed at certain E&P locations. We initially recognize a liability for the fair value of legally required asset retirement obligations in the period in which the retirement obligations are incurred and capitalize the associated asset retirement costs as part of the carrying amount of the long‑lived assets. In subsequent periods, the liability is accreted over the useful life of the related asset, and the capitalized asset retirement costs are depreciated over proved developed oil and gas reserves using the units of production method or the useful life of the related asset. Fair value is determined by applying a credit adjusted risk-free rate to the undiscounted expected future abandonment expenditures. Changes in estimates prior to settlement result in adjustments to both the liability and related asset values, unless the field has ceased production, in which case changes are recognized in the Statement of Consolidated Income . We measure asset retirement obligations based on the requirements of existing laws and regulations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations . Laws and regulations associated with the scope and timing for the abandonment of oil and gas wells, facilities and equipment could change which could increase the cost of our abandonment obligations. In addition, we may be required to assume abandonment obligations for certain divested assets in the event the current or future owners of facilities previously owned by us are unable to perform, whether due to bankruptcy or otherwise. Retirement Plans: We recognize the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans in the Consolidated Balance Sheet . The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. We recognize the net changes in the funded status of these plans as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the year in which such changes occur. Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market value of plan assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees or the remaining average expected life if a plan’s participants are predominantly inactive. Derivatives: We utilize derivative instruments for financial risk management activities. In these activities, we may use futures, forwards, options and swaps, individually or in combination, to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in prices of crude oil and natural gas, as well as changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet . Our policy for recognizing the changes in fair value of derivatives varies based on the designation of the derivative. The changes in fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recognized currently in earnings. Derivatives may be designated as hedges of expected future cash flows or forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges), or hedges of changes in fair value of recognized assets and liabilities or of unrecognized firm commitments (fair value hedges). Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) . Amounts included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings in the same period that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recognized currently in earnings. The change in fair value of the related hedged item is recorded as an adjustment to its carrying amount and recognized currently in earnings. Fair Value Measurements: We use various valuation approaches in determining fair value for financial instruments, including the market and income approaches. Our fair value measurements also include non-performance risk and time value of money considerations. Counterparty credit is considered for financial assets, and our credit is considered for financial liabilities. We also record certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value when required by GAAP. These fair value measurements are recorded in connection with business combinations, qualifying nonmonetary exchanges, the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations and any impairment of long‑lived assets, equity method investments, goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as environmental credits. We determine fair value in accordance with the fair value measurements accounting standard which established a hierarchy for the inputs used to measure fair value based on the source of the inputs, which generally range from quoted prices for identical instruments in a principal trading market (Level 1) to estimates determined using related market data (Level 3), including discounted cash flows and other unobservable data. Measurements derived indirectly from observable inputs or from quoted prices from markets that are less liquid are considered Level 2. When Level 1 inputs are available within a particular market, those inputs are selected for determination of fair value over Level 2 or 3 inputs in the same market. Multiple inputs may be used to measure fair value; however, the level assigned to a fair value measurement is based on the lowest significant input level within this fair value hierarchy. Details on the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values are as follows: Fair value measurements based on Level 1 inputs: Measurements that are most observable are based on quoted prices of identical instruments obtained from the principal markets in which they are traded. Closing prices are both readily available and representative of fair value. Market transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to assure liquidity. Fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs: Measurements derived indirectly from observable inputs or from quoted prices from markets that are less liquid are considered Level 2. Measurements based on Level 2 inputs include over-the-counter derivative instruments that are priced on an exchange-traded curve but have contractual terms that are not identical to exchange-traded contracts. Fair value measurements based on Level 3 inputs: Measurements that are least observable are estimated from related market data, determined from sources with little or no market activity for comparable contracts or are positions with longer durations. Fair values determined using discounted cash flows and other unobservable data are also classified as Level 3. Netting of Financial Instruments: We generally enter into master netting arrangements to mitigate legal and counterparty credit risk. Master netting arrangements are generally accepted overarching master contracts that govern all individual transactions with the same counterparty entity as a single legally enforceable agreement. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides for the enforcement of certain termination and netting rights under certain types of contracts upon the bankruptcy filing of a counterparty, commonly known as the “safe harbor” provisions. If a master netting arrangement provides for termination and netting upon the counterparty’s bankruptcy, these rights are generally enforceable with respect to “safe harbor” transactions. If these arrangements provide the right of offset and our intent and practice is to offset amounts in the case of such a termination, our policy is to record the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. In the normal course of business, we rely on legal and credit risk mitigation clauses providing for adequate credit assurance as well as close‑o |

At December 31, 2023, 36 exploration and appraisal wells on the Stabroek Block, with a total cost of $841 million, were capitalized pending determination of proved reserves. Other additions to capitalized exploratory well costs in 2023 include the Pickerel-1 exploration well (Hess 100%) in the Gulf of Mexico on Mississippi Canyon Block 727. Other additions to capitalized exploratory wells costs in 2022 include the Huron-1 well (Hess 40%) in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Zanderij-1 well on Block 42 (Hess 33%), offshore Suriname. Reclassifications to wells, facilities and equipment based on the determination of proved reserves in 2023 resulted from the sanction of the Uaru Field development, the fifth sanctioned project on the Stabroek Block, and the Pickerel-1 exploration well in the Gulf of Mexico. In 2022, reclassifications to wells, facilities and equipment resulted from the sanction of the Yellowtail Field development, the fourth sanctioned project on the Stabroek Block. Capitalized exploratory well costs charged to expense in 2023 of $58 million primarily relate to the Huron-1 well in the Gulf of Mexico. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we, along with our partners, decided not to appraise the discovery given other available opportunities and the limited time remaining on the leases. The preceding table excludes well costs incurred and expensed during 2023 of $89 million (2022: $56 million; 2021: $11 million). Exploratory well costs capitalized for greater than one year following completion of drilling were $728 million at December 31, 2023, separated by year of completion as follows (in millions): 2022 $ 261 2021 162 2020 8 2019 139 2018 and prior 158 $ 728 Guyana: 87% of the capitalized well costs in excess of one year relate to successful exploration and appraisal wells where hydrocarbons were encountered on the Stabroek Block (Hess 30%). In October 2023, the operator submitted a plan for the Whiptail development project, the sixth development project on the Stabroek Block, to the Government of Guyana for approval. The operator also plans further appraisal drilling on the block and is conducting pre-development planning for additional phases of development. Suriname.: 6% of the capitalized well costs in excess of one year relates to the Zanderij-1 well on Block 42 (Hess 33%). Exploration and appraisal activities are ongoing. JDA: 5% of the capitalized well costs in excess of one year relates to the JDA (Hess 50%) in the Gulf of Thailand, where hydrocarbons were encountered in three successful exploration wells drilled in the western part of Block A-18. The operator has submitted a development plan concept to the regulator to facilitate ongoing commercial negotiations for an extension of the existing gas sales contract to include development of the western part of the block. Malaysia: 2% of the capitalized well costs in excess of one year relates to North Malay Basin (Hess 50%), offshore Peninsular Malaysia, where hydrocarbons were encountered in two successful exploration wells. Pre-development studies are ongoing. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Hess Midstream LP | 4. Hess Midstream LP Hess Midstream LP, a variable interest entity, has an "Up-C" organizational structure. We have an approximate 38% consolidated ownership interest at December 31, 2023 in Hess Midstream LP on an as-exchanged basis, primarily through our ownership of Class B units in Hess Midstream Operations LP (HESM Opco), the operating subsidiary of Hess Midstream LP, which are exchangeable into Class A shares of Hess Midstream LP on a one-for-one basis. An affiliate of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) owns an approximate 32% consolidated interest in Hess Midstream LP at December 31, 2023, on an as-exchanged basis, primarily through its ownership of Class B units in HESM Opco, and the public owns an approximate 30% consolidated interest in Hess Midstream LP at December 31, 2023, through the ownership of Class A shares of Hess Midstream LP. We have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity since we have the power to direct those activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Hess Midstream LP, and are obligated to absorb losses or have the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Hess Midstream LP. This conclusion was based on a qualitative analysis that considered Hess Midstream LP’s governance structure, the commercial agreements between Hess Midstream LP and us, and the voting rights established between the members. In 2021, Hess Midstream LP completed two underwritten public equity offerings of an aggregate of approximately 15.5 million Hess Midstream LP Class A shares held by affiliates of Hess and GIP. Hess received an aggregate of $178 million of net proceeds from these transactions. These transactions, in aggregate, resulted in an increase in Capital in excess of par and Noncontrolling interests of $152 million and $103 million, respectively. The aggregate increase to Noncontrolling interests of $103 million is comprised of $26 million resulting from the changes in ownership interests and $77 million from increases to deferred tax assets resulting from step-ups in the tax basis of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco. In 2021, HESM Opco repurchased 31.25 million HESM Opco Class B units held by affiliates of Hess and GIP for $750 million in a single transaction. HESM Opco issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes due 2030 in a private offering to finance the repurchase. The transaction resulted in an increase in Capital in excess of par and a decrease in Noncontrolling interests of $28 million, and an increase in deferred tax assets and Noncontrolling interests of $15 million resulting from an adjustment in the carrying value of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco without a corresponding adjustment in the tax basis. The $375 million paid to GIP reduced Noncontrolling interests . In 2022, Hess Midstream LP completed a single underwritten public equity offering of approximately 10.2 million Hess Midstream LP Class A shares held by affiliates of Hess and GIP. Hess received net proceeds of $146 million from the transaction. The transaction resulted in an increase in Capital in excess of par and Noncontrolling interests of $130 million and $88 million, respectively. The increase to Noncontrolling interests of $88 million is comprised of $16 million resulting from the change in ownership interests and $72 million from an increase to deferred tax assets resulting from a step-up in the tax basis of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco. In 2022, HESM Opco repurchased approximately 13.6 million HESM Opco Class B units held by affiliates of Hess and GIP for $400 million in a single transaction. HESM Opco issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes due 2030 in a private offering to repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility used to finance the repurchase. The transaction resulted in an increase in Capital in excess of par and a decrease in Noncontrolling interests of $32 million, and an increase in deferred tax assets and Noncontrolling interests of $17 million resulting from an adjustment in the carrying value of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco without a corresponding adjustment in the tax basis. The $200 million paid to GIP reduced Noncontrolling interests . In May 2023, Hess Midstream LP completed an underwritten public equity offering of approximately 12.8 million Hess Midstream LP Class A shares held by affiliates of Hess and GIP. Hess received $167 million of net proceeds from this transaction. This transaction resulted in an increase in Capital in excess of par and Noncontrolling interests of $158 million and $93 million, respectively. The increase to Noncontrolling interests of $93 million is comprised of $9 million resulting from the change in ownership interests and $84 million from an increase to deferred tax assets resulting from a step-up in the tax basis of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco. In August 2023, Hess Midstream LP completed an underwritten public equity offering of 11.5 million Class A shares held by an affiliate of GIP. Hess did not participate in this transaction and did not receive any proceeds. There was no change in Hess’ ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP on a consolidated basis and accordingly, there was no impact to the balance of Noncontrolling interests . However, the transaction did result in an increase to deferred tax assets of $82 million, with the offset recorded to Noncontrolling interests, due to a step-up in the tax basis of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco. In 2023, HESM Opco repurchased an aggregate of approximately 13.6 million HESM Opco Class B units in multiple transactions from affiliates of Hess and GIP for total proceeds of $400 million. The unit repurchases were financed by borrowings under HESM Opco ’ s revolving credit facility. The unit repurchases, in aggregate, resulted in an increase in Capital in excess of par and a decrease in Noncontrolling interests of $31 million, and an increase in deferred tax assets and Noncontrolling interests of $23 million resulting from adjustments in the carrying value of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco without corresponding adjustments in the tax basis. The aggregate proceeds paid to GIP of $212 million reduced Noncontrolling interests . Hess participated in all the HESM Opco Class B unit repurchase transactions in 2023 on a 50/50 basis with GIP with the exception of the HESM Opco Class B unit repurchase transaction in November 2023. Hess and GIP received $38 million and $62 million, respectively, of the total proceeds of $100 million. There was no change in Hess’ ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP on a consolidated basis as a result of this transaction and accordingly, there was no impact to the balance of Noncontrolling interests. However, the transaction did result in an increase to deferred tax assets of $7 million, with the offset recorded to Noncontrolling interests , as a result of an adjustment in the carrying value of Hess Midstream LP ’ s investment in HESM Opco without a corresponding adjustment in the tax basis. At December 31, 2023, Hess Midstream LP liabilities totaling $3,385 million (2022: $3,027 million) are on a nonrecourse basis to Hess Corporation, while Hess Midstream LP assets available to settle the obligations of Hess Midstream LP included cash and cash equivalents totaling $5 million (2022: $3 million), property, plant and equipment, net totaling $3,229 million (2022: $3,173 million) and the equity-method investment in Little Missouri 4 (LM4) of $90 million (2022: $94 million). LM4 is a 200 million standard cubic feet per day gas processing plant located south of the Missouri River in McKenzie County, North Dakota, that was constructed as part of a 50/50 joint venture between Hess Midstream LP and Targa Resources Corp. Hess Midstream LP has a natural gas processing agreement with LM4 under which it pays a processing fee and reimburses LM4 for its proportionate share of electricity costs. In 2023, processing fees were $24 million (2022: $21 million; 2021: $28 million) and are included in Operating costs and expenses in the Statement of Consolidated Income . |

Leases | 6. Leases Operating and finance lease obligations at December 31 included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet were as follows: Operating Leases Finance Leases 2023 2022 2023 2022 (In millions) Right-of-use assets — net (a) $ 720 $ 570 $ 108 $ 126 Lease obligations: Current $ 347 $ 200 $ 23 $ 21 Long-term 459 469 156 179 Total lease obligations $ 806 $ 669 $ 179 $ 200 (a) At December 31, 2023, finance lease ROU assets had a cost of $212 million (2022: $212 million) and accumulated amortization of $104 million (2022: $86 million). Lease obligations represent 100% of the present value of future minimum lease payments in the lease arrangement. Where we have contracted directly with a lessor in our role as operator of an unincorporated oil and gas venture, we bill our partners their proportionate share for reimbursements as payments under lease agreements become due pursuant to the terms of our joint operating and other agreements. The nature of our leasing arrangements at December 31, 2023 was as follows: Operating leases : In the normal course of business, we primarily lease drilling rigs, equipment, logistical assets (offshore vessels, aircraft, and shorebases), and office space. Finance leases: In 2018, we entered into a sale and lease-back arrangement for a floating storage and offloading vessel (FSO) to handle produced condensate at North Malay Basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. At December 31, 2023, the remaining lease term for the FSO was 9.8 years. Maturities of lease obligations at December 31, 2023 were as follows: Operating Leases Finance (In millions) 2024 $ 377 $ 36 2025 197 36 2026 89 31 2027 48 22 2028 22 23 Remaining years 165 99 Total lease payments 898 247 Less: Imputed interest (92) (68) Total lease obligations $ 806 $ 179 The following information relates to the operating and finance leases at December 31: Operating Leases Finance Leases 2023 2022 2023 2022 Weighted average remaining lease term 5.0 years 6.8 years 9.8 years 10.8 years Range of remaining lease terms 0.1 - 12.5 years 0.3 - 13.5 years 9.8 years 10.8 years Weighted average discount rate 5.1% 4.5% 7.9% 7.9% The components of lease costs were as follows: 2023 2022 2021 (In millions) Operating lease cost (a) $ 241 $ 114 $ 88 Finance lease cost: Amortization of leased assets 18 18 24 Interest on lease obligations 15 18 18 Short-term lease cost (b) 294 311 137 Variable lease cost (c) 67 33 21 Sublease income (d) (19) (18) (17) Total lease cost $ 616 $ 476 $ 271 (a) Operating lease cost in 2023 included a drilling rig at North Malay Basin used for a 15 well development drilling program spanning 2023 and 2024, and offshore support vessels in the Gulf of Mexico. (b) Short-term lease cost is primarily attributable to equipment used in global exploration, development, production, and crude oil marketing activities. Future short-term lease costs will vary based on activity levels of our operated assets. In 2023 and 2022, short-term lease cost included drilling rigs and offshore support vessels used primarily for exploration and abandonment activities in the Gulf of Mexico and workover rigs for maintenance activities in the Bakken. (c) Variable lease costs for drilling rigs result from differences in the minimum rate and the actual usage of the ROU asset during the lease period. Variable lease costs for logistical assets result from differences in stated monthly rates and total charges reflecting the actual usage of the ROU asset during the lease period. Variable lease costs for our office leases represent common area maintenance charges which have not been separated from lease components. (d) We sublease certain of our office space to third parties under our head lease. The above lease costs represent 100% of the lease payments due for the period, including where we as operator have contracted directly with suppliers. As the payments under lease agreements where we are operator become due, we bill our partners their proportionate share for reimbursement pursuant to the terms of our joint operating agreements.

Leases | 6. Leases Operating and finance lease obligations at December 31 included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet were as follows: Operating Leases Finance Leases 2023 2022 2023 2022 (In millions) Right-of-use assets — net (a) $ 720 $ 570 $ 108 $ 126 Lease obligations: Current $ 347 $ 200 $ 23 $ 21 Long-term 459 469 156 179 Total lease obligations $ 806 $ 669 $ 179 $ 200 (a) At December 31, 2023, finance lease ROU assets had a cost of $212 million (2022: $212 million) and accumulated amortization of $104 million (2022: $86 million). Lease obligations represent 100% of the present value of future minimum lease payments in the lease arrangement. Where we have contracted directly with a lessor in our role as operator of an unincorporated oil and gas venture, we bill our partners their proportionate share for reimbursements as payments under lease agreements become due pursuant to the terms of our joint operating and other agreements. The nature of our leasing arrangements at December 31, 2023 was as follows: Operating leases : In the normal course of business, we primarily lease drilling rigs, equipment, logistical assets (offshore vessels, aircraft, and shorebases), and office space. Finance leases: In 2018, we entered into a sale and lease-back arrangement for a floating storage and offloading vessel (FSO) to handle produced condensate at North Malay Basin, offshore Peninsular Malaysia. At December 31, 2023, the remaining lease term for the FSO was 9.8 years. Maturities of lease obligations at December 31, 2023 were as follows: Operating Leases Finance (In millions) 2024 $ 377 $ 36 2025 197 36 2026 89 31 2027 48 22 2028 22 23 Remaining years 165 99 Total lease payments 898 247 Less: Imputed interest (92) (68) Total lease obligations $ 806 $ 179 The following information relates to the operating and finance leases at December 31: Operating Leases Finance Leases 2023 2022 2023 2022 Weighted average remaining lease term 5.0 years 6.8 years 9.8 years 10.8 years Range of remaining lease terms 0.1 - 12.5 years 0.3 - 13.5 years 9.8 years 10.8 years Weighted average discount rate 5.1% 4.5% 7.9% 7.9% The components of lease costs were as follows: 2023 2022 2021 (In millions) Operating lease cost (a) $ 241 $ 114 $ 88 Finance lease cost: Amortization of leased assets 18 18 24 Interest on lease obligations 15 18 18 Short-term lease cost (b) 294 311 137 Variable lease cost (c) 67 33 21 Sublease income (d) (19) (18) (17) Total lease cost $ 616 $ 476 $ 271 (a) Operating lease cost in 2023 included a drilling rig at North Malay Basin used for a 15 well development drilling program spanning 2023 and 2024, and offshore support vessels in the Gulf of Mexico. (b) Short-term lease cost is primarily attributable to equipment used in global exploration, development, production, and crude oil marketing activities. Future short-term lease costs will vary based on activity levels of our operated assets. In 2023 and 2022, short-term lease cost included drilling rigs and offshore support vessels used primarily for exploration and abandonment activities in the Gulf of Mexico and workover rigs for maintenance activities in the Bakken. (c) Variable lease costs for drilling rigs result from differences in the minimum rate and the actual usage of the ROU asset during the lease period. Variable lease costs for logistical assets result from differences in stated monthly rates and total charges reflecting the actual usage of the ROU asset during the lease period. Variable lease costs for our office leases represent common area maintenance charges which have not been separated from lease components. (d) We sublease certain of our office space to third parties under our head lease. The above lease costs represent 100% of the lease payments due for the period, including where we as operator have contracted directly with suppliers. As the payments under lease agreements where we are operator become due, we bill our partners their proportionate share for reimbursement pursuant to the terms of our joint operating agreements. Reimbursements are not reflected in the table above. Certain lease costs above associated with exploration and development activities are included in capital expenditures.

Debt – Hess Corporation: Senior unsecured fixed-rate public notes: At December 31, 2023, Hess Corporation’s fixed-rate senior unsecured notes had a gross principal amount of $5,438 million (2022: $5,438 million) and a weighted average interest rate of 5.9% (2022: 5.9%). The indentures for our fixed-rate senior unsecured notes limit the ratio of secured debt to Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as that term is defined in the indentures) to 15%. As of December 31, 2023, Hess Corporation was in compliance with this financial covenant. Credit facility: The revolving credit facility can be used for borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowings on the facility will generally bear interest at 1.400% above SOFR, though the interest rate is subject to adjustment based on the credit rating of the Corporation ’ s senior, unsecured, non-credit enhanced long-term debt. The revolving credit facility is subject to customary representations, warranties, customary events of default and covenants, including a financial covenant limiting the ratio of Total Consolidated Debt to Total Capitalization of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries to 65%, and a financial covenant limiting the ratio of secured debt to Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries to 15% (as these capitalized terms are defined in the credit agreement for the revolving credit facility). As of December 31, 2023, Hess Corporation was in compliance with these financial covenants. At December 31, 2023, Hess Corporation had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under its revolving credit facility. Other outstanding letters of credit at December 31 were as follows: 2023 2022 (In millions) Committed lines (a) $ 2 $ — Uncommitted lines (a) 86 83 Total $ 88 $ 83 (a) At December 31, 2023, committed and uncommitted lines have expiration dates through 2024. The most restrictive of the financial covenants relating to our fixed-rate senior unsecured notes and our revolving credit facility would allow us to borrow up to an additional $2,515 million of secured debt at December 31, 2023. Debt – Midstream (Hess Midstream Operations LP): Senior unsecured fixed-rate public notes: At December 31, 2023, HESM Opco’s fixed-rate senior unsecured notes had a gross principal amount of $2,500 million (2022: $2,500 million) and a weighted average interest rate of 5.1% (2022: 5.1%). HESM Opco ’ s senior unsecured notes are guaranteed by certain of HESM Opco’s direct and indirect wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries. These senior unsecured notes are non-recourse to Hess Corporation. In April 2022, HESM Opco issued $400 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes due in 2030 in a private offering to repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility used to finance the repurchase of approximately 13.6 million HESM Opco Class B units held by Hess and GIP. In August 2021, HESM Opco issued $750 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.250% fixed-rate senior unsecured notes due in 2030 in a private offering to finance the repurchase of 31.25 million HESM Opco Class B units held by Hess and GIP.

Pricing levels for the facility fee and interest-rate margins are based on HESM Opco’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit facilities). If HESM Opco obtains an investment grade credit rating, the pricing levels will be based on HESM Opco’s credit ratings in effect from time to time. The credit facilities contain covenants that require HESM Opco to maintain a ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit facilities) for the prior four fiscal quarters of not greater than 5.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter (5.50 to 1.00 during the specified period following certain acquisitions) and, prior to HESM Opco obtaining an investment grade credit rating, a ratio of secured debt to EBITDA for the prior four fiscal quarters of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. HESM Opco was in compliance with these financial covenants at December 31, 2023. The credit facilities are secured by first-priority perfected liens on substantially all of the assets of HESM Opco and its direct and indirect wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries, including equity interests directly owned by such entities, subject to certain customary exclusions.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Retirement Plans | 9. Retirement Plans We have funded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans for a significant portion of our employees. In addition, we have an unfunded supplemental pension plan covering certain employees, which provides incremental payments that would have been payable from our principal pension plans, were it not for limitations imposed by income tax regulations. The plans provide defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary to our U.S. employees hired prior to January 1, 2017 and to our employees in the United Kingdom (U.K.). The U.S. employees hired on or after January 1, 2017 participate under a cash accumulation formula and receive credits to a notional account based on a percentage of pensionable wages. Interest accrues on the balance in the notional account at a rate determined in accordance with plan provisions. Additionally, we maintain an unfunded post-retirement medical plan that provides health benefits to certain U.S. qualified retirees from ages 55 through 65. The measurement date for all retirement plans is December 31. The following table summarizes the benefit obligations, the fair value of plan assets, and the funded status of our pension and postretirement medical plans: Funded Unfunded Postretirement 2023 2022 2023 2022 2023 2022 (In millions) Change in Benefit Obligation Balance at January 1, $ 1,802 $ 2,948 $ 212 $ 248 $ 52 $ 59 Service cost 26 33 9 11 3 3 Interest cost 88 66 9 3 2 1 Actuarial (gain) loss (a) 44 (818) 7 (38) 1 (7) Plan settlements (143) (266) — — — — Benefit payments (77) (90) (15) (12) (5) (4) Foreign currency exchange rate changes 20 (71) — — — — Balance at December 31, (b) $ 1,760 $ 1,802 $ 222 $ 212 $ 53 $ 52 Change in Fair Value of Plan Assets Balance at January 1, $ 2,450 $ 3,357 $ — $ — $ — $ — Actual return on plan assets 186 (469) — — — — Employer contributions 1 1 15 12 5 4 Plan settlements (143) (266) — — — — Benefit payments (77) (90) (15) (12) (5) (4) Foreign currency exchange rate changes 28 (83) — — — — Balance at December 31, $ 2,445 $ 2,450 $ — $ — $ — $ — Funded Status (Plan assets greater (less) than benefit obligations) at December 31, $ 685 $ 648 $ (222) $ (212) $ (53) $ (52) Unrecognized Net Actuarial (Gains) Losses (c) $ 332 $ 337 $ 30 $ 23 $ (25) $ (27) (a) In 2023, changes in discount rates resulted in actuarial losses of $56 million, updates to census data resulted in actuarial losses of $18 million, and the alignment of the projected benefit obligation to the amount of plan settlement payments resulted in actuarial gains of $20 million. Changes in all other assumptions resulted in net actuarial gains of $2 million in 2023. In 2022, changes in discount rates resulted in actuarial gains of $874 million and changes in mortality assumptions resulted in actuarial losses of $8 million. Changes in all other assumptions, including inflation and demographic assumptions, resulted in net actuarial losses of $3 million in 2022. (b) At December 31, 2023, the accumulated benefit obligation for the funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans was $1,684 million and $181 million, respectively (2022: $1,743 million and $180 million, respectively). (c) At December 31, 2023, the unrecognized net actuarial losses related to the U.K. pension plan was $179 million (2022: $175 million). Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31 consisted of the following: Funded Unfunded Postretirement 2023 2022 2023 2022 2023 2022 (In millions) Noncurrent assets $ 685 $ 648 $ — $ — $ — $ — Current liabilities — — (23) (24) (5) (6) Noncurrent liabilities — — (199) (188) (48) (46) Post-retirement benefit assets / (liabilities) $ 685 $ 648 $ (222) $ (212) $ (53) $ (52) Accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss, pre-tax (a) $ 332 $ 337 $ 30 $ 23 $ (25) $ (27) (a) The after‑tax deficit reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $134 million at December 31, 2023 (2022: $131 million deficit). The net periodic benefit cost for funded and unfunded pension plans, and the postretirement medical plan, is as follows: Pension Plans Postretirement Medical Plan 2023 2022 2021 2023 2022 2021 (In millions) Service cost $ 35 $ 44 $ 51 $ 3 $ 3 $ 3 Interest cost 97 69 55 2 1 1 Expected return on plan assets (156) (196) (197) — — — Amortization of unrecognized net actuarial losses (gains) 3 11 58 (2) (1) (1) Settlement loss 17 2 9 — — — Net Periodic Benefit Cost / (Income) (a) $ (4) $ (70) $ (24) $ 3 $ 3 $ 3 (a) Net non-service cost, which is included in Other, net in the Statement of Consolidated Income, was income of $39 million in 2023 (2022: $114 million of income; 2021: $75 million of income). In 2023, the Hess Corporation Employees ’ Pension Plan paid lump sums to certain participants totaling $143 million which resulted in a noncash settlement loss of $17 million to recognize unamortized actuarial losses. In 2022, the Hess Corporation Employees ’ Pension Plan purchased a single premium annuity contract at a cost of $166 million using assets of the plan to settle and transfer certain of its obligations to a third party. This partial settlement resulted in a noncash settlement loss of $13 million to recognize unamortized actuarial losses. In 2022, the HOVENSA Legacy Employees ’ Pension Plan paid lump sums to certain participants totaling $20 million, and purchased a single premium annuity contract at a cost of $80 million, to settle the plan ’ s projected benefit obligation in connection with terminating the plan. The settlement transactions resulted in a noncash settlement gain of $11 million to recognize unamortized actuarial gains. The assets remaining after settlement of the plan ’ s projected benefit obligation of $15 million were transferred to the Hess Corporation Employees ’ Pension Plan in December 2022. In 2024, we forecast service cost for our pension and post-retirement medical plans to be approximately $40 million and net non-service cost of approximately $65 million of income, which is comprised of interest cost The board of trustees for our U.K. pension plan is evaluating various alternatives to settle all or a portion of the plan’s projected benefit obligation. A decision to proceed will occur only after the board of trustees receives and evaluates proposals and determines that the transaction is in the best interest of plan participants. Should a settlement be completed, a material noncash settlement loss may be recorded reflecting any difference between the settlement value and projected benefit obligation, and the acceleration of the recognition of unrecognized actuarial losses. Assumptions : The weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 and net periodic benefit cost for the three years ended December 31 for our funded and unfunded pension plans were as follows: 2023 2022 2021 Benefit Obligations: Discount rate 4.8% 5.0% 2.5% Rate of compensation increase 3.9% 4.0% 3.8% Net Periodic Benefit Cost: Discount rate Service cost 5.0% 3.3% 2.6% Interest cost 4.9% 3.0% 1.7% Expected rate of return on plan assets 6.5% 6.5% 6.6% Rate of compensation increase 4.0% 3.8% 3.8% The actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 for the post-retirement medical plan were as follows: 2023 2022 2021 Discount rate 4.7% 4.9% 2.4% Initial health care trend rate 6.0% 6.3% 5.5% Ultimate trend rate 4.0% 4.0% 4.0% Year in which ultimate trend rate is reached 2046 2046 2046 The assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for each year were established at the end of each previous year. In 2022 and 2021, there was an interim remeasurement of the funded status of certain plans due to plan settlements which resulted in net periodic benefit cost being recalculated for the remainder of the year using assumptions as of the interim remeasurement dates. The assumptions disclosed in the preceding table used to determine net periodic benefit cost for 2022 and 2021 are a weighted average of the assumptions as of the end of the previous year and the interim remeasurement dates. Due to the timing of plan settlements in 2023, an interim remeasurement of the funded status was unnecessary in 2023. The assumptions used to determine benefit obligations were established at each year end. Discount rates are developed based on a portfolio of high‑quality, fixed income debt instruments with maturities that approximate the expected payment of plan obligations. The overall expected rate of return on plan assets is developed from the expected future returns for each asset category, weighted by the target allocation of assets to that asset category. The future expected rate of return assumptions for individual asset categories are largely based on inputs from various investment experts regarding their future return expectations for particular asset categories. The expected rate of return on plan assets is applied to the fair value of plan assets to determine the expected return on plan assets component of net periodic benefit cost for the year. Our investment strategy is to maximize long‑term returns at an acceptable level of risk through broad diversification of plan assets in a variety of asset classes. Asset classes and target allocations are determined by our investment committee and include domestic and foreign equities, fixed income, and other investments, including hedge funds, real estate and private equity. Investment managers are prohibited from investing in securities issued by us unless indirectly held as part of an index strategy. The majority of plan assets are highly liquid, providing ample liquidity for benefit payment requirements. The current target allocations are 30% equity securities, 50% fixed income securities (including cash and short‑term investment funds) and 20% to all other types of investments. Asset allocations are rebalanced on a periodic basis throughout the year to bring assets to within an acceptable range of target levels. Fair value: The following tables provide the fair value of the financial assets of the funded pension plans at December 31, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with the fair value measurement hierarchy described in Note 1, Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Accounting Policies .

(b) Comprised of U.S. residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities. (c) Includes certain investments that have been valued using the net asset value (NAV) practical expedient, and therefore have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The inclusion of such amounts in the above table is intended to aid reconciliation of investments categorized in the fair value hierarchy to total pension plan assets. The following describes the financial assets of the funded pension plans: Cash and short‑term investment funds – Consists of cash on hand and short-term investment funds that provide for daily investments and redemptions which are classified as Level 1. Equities – Consists of individually held U.S. and international equity securities. This investment category also includes funds that consist primarily of U.S. and international equity securities. Equity securities, which are individually held and are traded actively on exchanges, are classified as Level 1. Certain funds, consisting primarily of equity securities, are classified as Level 2 if the NAV is determined and published daily, and is the basis for current transactions. Commingled funds, consisting primarily of equity securities held in unitized trusts, are valued using the NAV per fund share. Fixed income investments – Consists of individually held securities issued by the U.S. government, non-U.S. governments, governmental agencies, municipalities and corporations, and agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities. This investment category also includes funds that consist primarily of fixed income securities. Individual fixed income securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated prices from independent pricing services. Such prices are monitored by the trustee, which also serves as the independent third-party custodial firm responsible for safekeeping assets of the particular plan, and are classified as Level 2. Exchange-traded funds consisting of fixed income securities are classified as Level 1. Certain funds, consisting primarily of fixed income securities, are classified as Level 2 if the NAV is determined and published daily, and is the basis for current transactions. Commingled funds, consisting primarily of fixed income securities, are valued using the NAV per fund share. Other investments – Consists of exchange‑traded real estate investment trust securities, which are classified as Level 1.

Impairment and Other | 12. Impairment and Other 2023 : We recorded a pre-tax charge of $82 million ($82 million after income taxes) that resulted from revisions to estimated costs to abandon certain wells, pipelines and production facilities in the West Delta Field in the Gulf of Mexico. These abandonment obligations were assigned to us as a former owner after they were discharged from Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood) as part of its approved bankruptcy plan in 2021. See Note 8, Asset Retirement Obligations . 2022 : We recorded a pre-tax charge of $28 million ($28 million after income taxes) that resulted from updates to our estimated abandonment liabilities for non-producing properties in the Gulf of Mexico and $26 million ($26 million after income taxes) to fully impair the net book value of our interests in the Penn State Field in the Gulf of Mexico due to a mechanical issue on the field ’ s remaining production well. 2021: In June 2021, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the bankruptcy plan of Fieldwood, which included the abandonment of certain assets, including seven offshore Gulf of Mexico leases and related facilities in the West Delta Field that were formerly owned by us and sold to a Fieldwood predecessor in 2004, and the discharge of Fieldwood’s obligation to decommission these facilities. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $147 million ($147 million after income taxes) in connection with the estimated abandonment obligations in the West Delta Field. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Share-based Compensation | 13. Share-based Compensation We have established and maintain LTIP for the granting of restricted common shares, PSUs and stock options to our employees. At December 31, 2023, the total number of authorized common stock under the LTIP was 63.5 million shares, of which we have 19.9 million shares available for issuance. Share‑based compensation expense consisted of the following: 2023 2022 2021 (In millions) Restricted stock $ 55 $ 52 $ 49 Performance share units 21 20 18 Stock options 11 11 10 Share-based compensation expense before income taxes $ 87 $ 83 $ 77 Income tax benefit on share-based compensation expense $ — $ — $ — Based on share‑based compensation awards outstanding at December 31, 2023, unearned compensation expense, before income taxes, of $89 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. Our share-based compensation plans can be summarized as follows: Restricted stock: Restricted stock generally vests equally on an annual basis over a three-year term and is valued based on the prevailing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The following is a summary of restricted stock award activity in 2023: Shares of Restricted Common Stock Weighted - Average Price on Date of Grant (In thousands, except per share amounts) Outstanding at January 1, 2023 1,312 $ 80.61 Granted 470 141.76 Vested (a) (735) 73.24 Forfeited (26) 104.14 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 1,021 $ 113.47 (a) In 2023, restricted stock with a vesting date fair value of $104 million were vested (2022: $86 million; 2021: $72 million). Performance share units: PSUs generally vest three years from the date of grant and are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation on the date of grant. For the PSU's granted in 2021 and 2022, the number of shares of common stock to be issued under a PSU agreement is based on a comparison of the Corporation’s total shareholder return (TSR) to the TSR of a predetermined group of peer companies and the S&P 500 index over a three-year performance period ending December 31 of the year prior to settlement of the grant. Payouts of the performance share awards will range from 0% to 200% of the target awards based on the Corporation’s TSR ranking within the peer group. Dividend equivalents for the performance period will accrue on performance shares but will only be paid out on earned shares after the performance period. For the PSU's granted in 2023, the number of shares of common stock to be issued under a PSU agreement is based on a comparison of the Corporation’s total shareholder return compound annual growth rate (TSR CAGR) to the TSR CAGR of the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration and Production ETF (XOP), with a modifier determined by comparing the Corporation ’ s TSR CAGR to the TSR CAGR of the S&P 500 index, over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2025. Payout of the performance share awards will range from 0% to 200% of the target awards based on the comparison of the Corporation ’ s TSR CAGR to the XOP's TSR CAGR. The modifier can only adjust the payout percentage by plus or minus 10%, up to a maximum of 210% or a minimum of 0%. Dividend equivalents for the performance period will accrue on performance shares but will only be paid out on earned shares after the performance period. The following is a summary of PSU activity in 2023: Performance Share Units Weighted - Average Fair Value on Date of Grant (In thousands, except per share amounts) Outstanding at January 1, 2023 686 $ 81.25 Granted 130 178.80 Vested (a) (303) 57.93 Forfeited (1) 104.54 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 512 $ 119.77 (a) In 2023, PSU’s with a vesting date fair value of $55 million were vested (2022: $37 million; 2021: $30 million). The following weighted average assumptions were utilized to estimate the fair value of PSU awards: 2023 2022 2021 Risk free interest rate 4.61 % 1.59 % 0.29 % Stock price volatility 0.478 0.584 0.579 Contractual term in years 3.0 3.0 3.0 Grant date price of Hess common stock $ 141.95 $ 101.17 $ 75.04 Stock options: Stock options vest over three years from the date of grant, have a 10‑year term, and the exercise price equals the market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The following is a summary of stock options activity in 2023: Number of options Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term Outstanding at January 1, 2023 1,481 $ 69.31 6.6 years Granted 189 141.71 Exercised (157) 64.34 Forfeited (3) 90.73 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 1,510 $ 78.85 6.1 years At December 31, 2023, there were 1.5 million outstanding stock options (1.0 million exercisable) with a weighted average exercise price of $78.85 per share ($64.07 per share for exercisable options), a weighted average remaining contractual life of 6.1 years (5.1 years for exercisable options) and an aggregate intrinsic value of $105 million ($88 million for exercisable options). The intrinsic value of stock options exercised in 2023 was $13 million (2022: $44 million, 2021: $45 million). The following weighted average assumptions were utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options: 2023 2022 2021 Risk free interest rate 4.20 % 1.66 % 0.95 % Stock price volatility 0.469 0.457 0.470 Dividend yield 1.24 % 1.48 % 1.33 % Expected life in years 6.0 6.0 6.0 Weighted average fair value per option granted $ 63.45 $ 39.51 $ 29.66 In estimating the fair value of PSUs and stock options, the risk-free interest rate is based on the expected term of the award and is obtained from published sources. The stock price volatility is determined from the historical stock prices of the Corporation using the expected term. |

The components of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets at December 31, were as follows: 2023 2022 (In millions) Deferred Tax Liabilities Property, plant and equipment and investments $ (2,117) $ (1,742) Other (108) (99) Total Deferred Tax Liabilities (2,225) (1,841) Deferred Tax Assets Net operating loss carryforwards 4,406 4,226 Tax credit carryforwards 109 98 Property, plant and equipment and investments 413 233 Accrued compensation, deferred credits and other liabilities 109 85 Asset retirement obligations 296 279 Other 256 293 Total Deferred Tax Assets 5,589 5,214 Valuation allowances (a) (3,652) (3,658) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances 1,937 1,556 Net Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities) $ (288) $ (285) (a) In 2023, the valuation allowance decreased by $6 million (2022: decrease of $180 million; 2021: decrease of $1,553 million). In the Consolidated Balance Sheet , deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted by taxing jurisdiction and are recorded at December 31, as follows: 2023 2022 (In millions) Deferred income taxes (long-term asset) $ 320 $ 133 Deferred income taxes (long-term liability) (608) (418) Net Deferred Tax Assets (Liabilities) $ (288) $ (285) At December 31, 2023, we have a gross deferred tax asset related to net operating loss carryforwards of $4,406 million before application of valuation allowances. The deferred tax asset is comprised of $127 million attributable to foreign net operating losses which will begin to expire in 2025, $3,778 million attributable to U.S. federal operating losses which will begin to expire in 2034, and $501 million attributable to losses in various U.S. states which will begin to expire in 2024. The deferred tax asset attributable to foreign net operating losses, net of valuation allowances, is $23 million. A full valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax asset attributable to U.S. federal and state net operating losses, except for $38 million of U.S. federal and $8 million of U.S. state deferred tax assets attributable to Midstream activities for which separate U.S. federal and state tax returns are filed. At December 31, 2023, we have U.S. state tax credit carryforwards of $27 million, which will begin to expire in 2034, $81 million of other business credit carryforwards, which will begin to expire in 2036, and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $1 million, which will begin to expire in 2024. A full valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax asset attributable to these credits. At December 31, 2023, the Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects a $3,652 million (2022: $3,658 million) valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets for multiple jurisdictions based on application of the relevant accounting standards. Hess continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in the U.S. (non-Midstream) and certain other jurisdictions. The reduction in valuation allowance year over year is primarily due to a partial release of the valuation allowance in Malaysia, partially offset with an increase in deferred tax asset balances in other jurisdictions. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit the use of deferred tax assets. In December 2023, the valuation allowance established against a portion of the net deferred tax assets in Malaysia, related to the Marginal Field tax ring-fence was released in the amount of $33 million as a result of the emergence from a cumulative loss position and positive evidence from forecasted pre-tax income from operations. The remaining valuation allowance in Malaysia is associated with net deferred tax assets of other tax ring-fences which lack sufficient positive evidence to support realizability. While we emerged from a recent cumulative loss position in the U.S. (non-Midstream) in 2023, the cumulative income position is near breakeven. Until we see a more significant and sustained pattern of objectively verifiable income, we do not assign significant weight to subjective long-term projections of future income and thus maintain a full valuation allowance against our U.S. (non-Midstream) federal and state deferred tax assets. If anticipated future earnings are exceeded, sufficient positive evidence may become available to support the release of valuation allowance in the future. This would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets on the balance sheet and a decrease to income tax expense for the period in which the release is recognized. Below is a reconciliation of the gross beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits: 2023 2022 2021 (In millions) Balance at January 1 $ 120 $ 133 $ 166 Additions based on tax positions taken in the current year — 17 12 Additions based on tax positions of prior years — — 3 Reductions based on tax positions of prior years (9) (30) (48) Balance at December 31 $ 111 $ 120 $ 133 There is no balance at December 31, 2023 for unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized would impact our effective income tax rate. Over the next 12 months, we have no unrecognized benefit that is reasonably possible to decrease due to settlements with taxing authorities or other resolutions, as well as lapses in statutes of limitation. At December 31, 2023, we have no accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits (2022: $0 million). We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to examinations by income tax authorities in most jurisdictions for years prior to 2009. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Guarantees, Contingencies and Commitments | 17. Guarantees, Contingencies and Commitments Guarantees and Contingencies We are subject to loss contingencies with respect to various claims, lawsuits and other proceedings. A liability is recognized in our consolidated financial statements when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the risk of loss is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or the risk of loss is only reasonably possible, a liability is not accrued; however, we disclose the nature of those contingencies. We cannot predict with certainty if, how or when existing claims, lawsuits and proceedings will be resolved or what the eventual relief, if any, may be, particularly for proceedings that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. We, along with many companies that have been or continue to be engaged in refining and marketing of gasoline, have been a party to lawsuits and claims related to the use of MTBE in gasoline. A series of similar lawsuits, many involving water utilities or governmental entities, were filed in jurisdictions across the United States against producers of MTBE and petroleum refiners who produced gasoline containing MTBE, including us. The principal allegation in all cases was that gasoline containing MTBE was a defective product and that these producers and refiners are strictly liable in proportion to their share of the gasoline market for damage to groundwater resources and are required to take remedial action to ameliorate the alleged effects on the environment of releases of MTBE. The majority of the cases asserted against us have been settled. There are two remaining active cases, filed by Pennsylvania and Maryland. In June 2014, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit alleging that we and all major oil companies with operations in Pennsylvania, have damaged the groundwater by introducing thereto gasoline with MTBE. The Pennsylvania suit has been forwarded to the existing MTBE multidistrict litigation pending in the Southern District of New York. In December 2017, the State of Maryland filed a lawsuit alleging that we and other major oil companies damaged the groundwater in Maryland by introducing thereto gasoline with MTBE. The suit, filed in Maryland state court, was served on us in January 2018 and has been removed to federal court by the defendants. In March 2014, we received an Administrative Order from the EPA requiring us and 26 other parties to undertake the Remedial Design for the remedy selected by the EPA for the Gowanus Canal Superfund Site in Brooklyn, New York. Our alleged liability derives from our former ownership and operation of a fuel oil terminal and connected shipbuilding and repair facility adjacent to the Canal. The remedy selected by the EPA includes dredging of surface sediments and the placement of a cap over the deeper sediments throughout the Canal and in-situ stabilization of certain contaminated sediments that will remain in place below the cap. The EPA’s original estimate was that this remedy would cost $506 million; however, the ultimate costs that will be incurred in connection with the design and implementation of the remedy remain uncertain. We have complied with the EPA’s March 2014 Administrative Order and contributed funding for the Remedial Design based on an allocation of costs among the parties determined by a third-party expert. In January 2020, we received an additional Administrative Order from the EPA requiring us and several other parties to begin Remedial Action along the uppermost portion of the Canal. We intend to comply with this Administrative Order. The remediation work began in the fourth quarter of 2020. Based on currently known facts and circumstances, we do not believe that this matter will result in a significant liability to us, and the costs will continue to be allocated amongst the parties, as they were for the Remedial Design. From time to time, we are involved in other judicial and administrative proceedings relating to environmental matters. We periodically receive notices from the EPA that we are a “potential responsible party” under the Superfund legislation with respect to various waste disposal sites. Under this legislation, all potentially responsible parties may be jointly and severally liable. For any site for which we have received such a notice, the EPA’s claims or assertions of liability against us relating to these sites have not been fully developed, or the EPA’s claims have been settled or a settlement is under consideration, in all cases for amounts that are not material. Beginning in 2017, certain states, municipalities and private associations in California, Delaware, Maryland, Rhode Island and South Carolina separately filed lawsuits against oil, gas and coal producers, including us, for alleged damages purportedly caused by climate change. These proceedings include claims for monetary damages and injunctive relief. Beginning in 2013, various parishes in Louisiana filed suit against approximately 100 oil and gas companies, including us, alleging that the companies’ operations and activities in certain fields violated the State and Local Coastal Resource Management Act of 1978, as amended, and caused contamination, subsidence and other environmental damages to land and water bodies located in the coastal zone of Louisiana. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, the payment of the costs necessary to clear, re-vegetate and otherwise restore the allegedly impacted areas. The ultimate impact of such climate and other aforementioned environmental proceedings, and of any related proceedings by private parties, on our business or accounts cannot be predicted at this time due to the large number of other potentially responsible parties and the speculative nature of clean-up cost estimates. Hess Corporation and its subsidiary HONX, Inc. have been named as defendants in various personal injury claims alleging exposure to asbestos and/or other alleged toxic substances while working at a former refinery (owned and operated by subsidiaries or related entities) located in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. On April 28, 2022, HONX, Inc. initiated a Chapter 11 § 524G process in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, to resolve these asbestos-related claims. In February 2023, Hess, HONX, Inc., the Unsecured Creditors’ Committee, and counsel representing claimants, reached a mediated resolution of the matter, contingent upon ongoing negotiations with the Future Claimants Representative (FCR), final approvals of all parties and confirmation by the Bankruptcy Court. As of December 31, 2023, following agreement with the FCR, we increased our reserve to a total of $153 million for the amounts expected to be funded to the § 524G trust established for the settlement of all current and future claims. The Bankruptcy Court and U.S. Federal District Court confirmed the HONX Bankruptcy Plan on February 16, 2024. We are also involved in six claims in federal and state courts in North Dakota related to post-production deductions from royalty and working interest payments. The plaintiffs in these cases assert that we take unauthorized or excessive post-production deductions from royalty or working interest payments for various oil and gas processing and transportation related costs and expenses. These plaintiffs seek reimbursement for allegedly underpaid revenue. It is our position that these costs and expenses are actual, reasonable, necessary, and authorized by the respective leases and North Dakota law. We believe that based on the facts and circumstances of these claims and because we have viable defenses, loss is not probable and the ultimate impact of these claims on our business or accounts cannot be estimated at this time due to the early stages of the proceedings and the speculative and indeterminate damages. We may also be exposed to future decommissioning liabilities for divested assets in the event the current or future owners of facilities previously owned by us are determined to be unable to perform such actions, whether due to bankruptcy or otherwise. We cannot predict with certainty if, how or when such proceedings will be resolved or what the eventual relief, if any, may be, particularly for proceedings that are in their early stages of development or where plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. Numerous issues may need to be resolved, including through potentially lengthy discovery and determination of important factual matters before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated for any proceeding. Subject to the foregoing, in management’s opinion, based upon currently known facts and circumstances, the outcome of lawsuits, claims and proceedings, including the matters disclosed above, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we could incur judgments, enter into settlements, or revise our opinion regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the amounts are accrued and our cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | 18. Segment Information We currently have two operating segments, E&P and Midstream. The E&P operating segment explores for, develops, produces, purchases and sells crude oil, NGL and natural gas. Production operations over the three years ended December 31, 2023 were in Guyana, the U.S., Malaysia and the JDA, Libya (sold in November 2022) and Denmark (sold in August 2021). The Midstream operating segment provides fee-based services, including gathering, compressing and processing natural gas and fractionating NGL; gathering, terminaling, loading and transporting crude oil and NGL; storing and terminaling propane, and water handling services primarily in the Bakken shale play of North Dakota. All unallocated costs are reflected under Corporate, Interest and Other.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Financial Risk Management Activities | Financial Risk Management Activities In the normal course of our business, we are exposed to commodity risks related to changes in the prices of crude oil and natural gas, as well as changes in interest rates and foreign currency values. In the disclosures that follow, corporate financial risk management activities refer to the mitigation of these risks through hedging activities. We maintain a control environment for all of our financial risk management activities under the direction of our Chief Risk Officer. Our Treasury department is responsible for administering foreign exchange rate and interest rate hedging programs using similar controls and processes, where applicable. Hedging strategies are reviewed annually by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Corporate Financial Risk Management Activities: Financial risk management activities include transactions designed to reduce risk in the selling prices of crude oil or natural gas we produce or reduce our exposure to foreign currency or interest rate movements. Generally, futures, swaps or option strategies may be used to fix the forward selling price, or establish a floor price or a range banded with a floor and ceiling price, for a portion of our crude oil or natural gas production. Forward contracts or swaps may also be used to purchase certain currencies in which we conduct business with the intent of reducing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. At December 31, 2023, these forward contracts relate to the British Pound and Malaysian Ringgit. Interest rate swaps may be used to convert interest payments on certain long-term debt from fixed to floating rates. The notional amounts of outstanding financial risk management derivative contracts were as follows: December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 (In millions) Foreign exchange forwards and swaps $ 226 $ 177 Interest rate swaps $ 100 $ 100 The table below reflects the gross and net fair values of risk management derivative instruments: Assets Liabilities (In millions) December 31, 2023 Derivative Contracts Designated as Hedging Instruments: Interest rate swaps $ — $ (2) Total derivative contracts designated as hedging instruments — (2) Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Foreign exchange forwards and swaps — (6) Total derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments — (6) Gross fair value of derivative contracts — (8) Gross amount offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet — — Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet $ — $ (8) December 31, 2022 Derivative Contracts Designated as Hedging Instruments: Interest rate swaps — (4) Total derivative contracts designated as hedging instruments — (4) Derivative Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments: Foreign exchange forwards and swaps — (2) Total derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments — (2) Gross fair value of derivative contracts — (6) Gross amount offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet — — Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet $ — $ (6) At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of our interest rate swaps is presented within Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred credits , respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet . The fair value of our foreign exchange forwards and swaps is presented within Accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet . All fair values in the table above are based on Level 2 inputs. Crude oil price hedging contracts decreased Sales and other operating revenues by $190 million in 2023 (2022: decrease of $585 million; 2021: decrease of $243 million). The change in fair value of interest rate swaps was an increase of $2 million in 2023 (2022: $6 million decrease; 2021: $3 million decrease) with a corresponding adjustment in the carrying value of the hedged fixed‑rate debt. We recognized net foreign exchange gains of $4 million in 2023 (2022: $16 million losses; 2021: $3 million losses). Offsetting these net foreign exchange gains were net losses from our foreign exchange derivative contracts, that are not designated as hedges, of $2 million in 2023 (2022: $14 million gains; 2021: $1 million gains). Foreign exchange gains and losses, and the gains and losses on our foreign exchange derivative contracts, are recorded in Other, net in the Statement of Consolidated Income . Credit Risk: We are exposed to credit risks that may at times be concentrated with certain counterparties, groups of counterparties or customers. Accounts receivable are generated from a diverse domestic and international customer base. At December 31, 2023, our accounts receivable were concentrated with the following counterparty industry segments: Integrated companies 40%, Independent E&P companies 37%, Refining and marketing companies 12%, Storage and transportation companies 4%, National oil companies 1%, and Others 6%. We reduce risk related to certain counterparties, where applicable, by using master netting arrangements and requiring collateral, generally cash or letters of credit. At December 31, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $88 million (2022: $83 million). Fair Value Measurement: At December 31, 2023, our total long-term debt, which was substantially comprised of fixed rate debt instruments, had a carrying value of $8,613 million and a fair value of $9,006 million, based on Level 2 inputs in the fair value measurement hierarchy. We also have short-term financial instruments, primarily cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, for which the carrying value approximated fair value at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hess Corporation and entities in which we own more than a 50% voting interest. We consolidate Hess Midstream LP, a variable interest entity, based on our conclusion that we have the power through Hess Corporation’s approximate 38% consolidated ownership interest in Hess Midstream LP to direct those activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Hess Midstream LP , and are obligated to absorb losses or have the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Hess Midstream LP . Our undivided interests in unincorporated oil and gas E&P ventures are proportionately consolidated. Investments in affiliated companies, 20% to 50% owned and where we have the ability to influence the operating or financial decisions of the affiliate, are accounted for using the equity method. |
Estimates and Assumptions | Estimates and Assumptions: In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and revenues and expenses in the Statement of Consolidated Income . Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates made by management include oil and gas reserves, asset and other valuations, depreciable lives, post-retirement liabilities, legal and environmental obligations, asset retirement obligations and income taxes. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition: Exploration and Production The E&P segment recognizes revenue from the sale of crude oil, NGL, and natural gas as performance obligations under contracts with customers are satisfied. Our responsibilities to deliver each unit of quantity of crude oil, NGL, and natural gas under these contracts represent separate, distinct performance obligations. These performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time control of each unit of quantity transfers to the customer. Generally, the control of each unit of quantity transfers to the customer upon the transfer of legal title at the point of physical delivery. Pricing is variable and is determined with reference to a particular market or pricing index, plus or minus adjustments reflecting quality or location differentials. For long-term international natural gas contracts with ship-or-pay provisions, our obligation to stand-ready to provide a minimum volume over each commitment period represents separate, distinct performance obligations. Penalties owed against future deliveries of natural gas due to delivery of volumes below minimum delivery commitments are recognized as reductions to revenue in the commitment period when the shortfall occurs. Long-term international natural gas contracts may also contain take-or-pay provisions whereby the customer is required to pay for volumes not taken that are below minimum volume commitments, but the customer has certain make-up rights to receive shortfall volumes in subsequent periods. Shortfall payments received from customers when volumes purchased are below the minimum volume commitment are deferred upon receipt as a contract liability. Revenue is recognized at the earlier of when we deliver the make-up volumes in subsequent periods or when it becomes remote that the customer will exercise their make-up rights. Certain crude oil, NGL, and natural gas volumes are purchased by Hess from third parties, including working interest partners and royalty owners in certain Hess-operated properties, before they are sold to customers. Where control over the crude oil, NGL, or natural gas transfers to Hess before the volumes are transferred to the customer, revenue and the associated cost of purchased volumes are presented on a gross basis in the Statement of Consolidated Income within Sales and other operating revenues and Marketing, including purchased oil and gas , respectively. Where control of crude oil, NGL, or natural gas is not transferred to Hess, revenue is presented net of the associated cost of purchased volumes within Sales and other operating revenues in the S tatement of Consolidated Income . Contract Duration and Pricing: Contracts with customers for the sale of U.S. crude oil, NGL, and natural gas primarily include those contracts that involve the short-term sale of volumes during a specified period, and those contracts that automatically renew on a periodic basis until either party cancels. We have certain long-term contracts with customers for the sale of U.S. natural gas and NGL that have remaining durations ranging from one Contracts with customers for the sale of international crude oil involve the short-term sale of volumes during a specified period. Pricing is determined with reference to a particular market or pricing index, plus or minus adjustments reflecting quality or location differentials, shortly after control of the volumes transfers to the customer. International contracts with customers for the sale of natural gas are in the form of natural gas sales agreements with government entities that have durations that are aligned with the durations of production sharing contracts or other contractual arrangements with host governments. Pricing for our natural gas sales agreements in North Malay Basin and Block A-18 of JDA are determined using contractual formulas that are based on the price of alternative fuels as obtained from price indices and other factors. Contract Balances: Our right to receive or collect payment from the customer is aligned with the timing of revenue recognition except in situations when we receive shortfall payments under contracts with take-or-pay provisions with customer make-up rights. Generally, we receive payments from customers on a monthly basis, shortly after the physical delivery of the crude oil, NGL, or natural gas. At December 31, 2023, there were no contract liabilities. At December 31, 2022, there were contract liabilities of $24 million resulting from a take-or-pay deficiency payment received in 2021 that was subject to a make-up period expiring in December 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, revenue of $24 million was recognized within Sales and other operating revenues that was included in the contract liability balance at December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no contract assets. Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations: The transaction price allocated to our wholly unsatisfied performance obligations on uncompleted contracts is variable. Further, many of our contracts with customers have durations of less than twelve months. Accordingly, we have elected under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers, the exemption from disclosure of revenue recognizable in future periods as these performance obligations are satisfied. Sales-based Taxes: We exclude sales-based taxes that are collected from customers from the transaction price in our contracts with customers. Accordingly, revenue from contracts with customers is net of sales-based taxes that are collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities. Revenue from Non-customers: In Guyana, the joint venture partners (Co-Venturers) to the Stabroek Block petroleum agreement are subject to the income tax laws of Guyana and remain primarily liable for income taxes due on the results of operations, resulting in recognition of income tax expense. Pursuant to the contractual arrangements of the petroleum agreement, a portion of gross production from the block, separate from the Co-Venturers’ cost oil and profit oil entitlement, is used to satisfy the Co-Venturers’ income tax liability. This portion of gross production, referred to as tax barrels, is included in our reported production volumes and is recognized as sales revenue from non-customers. Midstream The Midstream segment earns substantially all of its revenues by charging fees for gathering, compressing and processing natural gas and fractionating NGLs; gathering, terminaling, loading and transporting crude oil and NGLs; storing and terminaling propane; and gathering and disposing produced water. Effective January 1, 2014, certain subsidiaries of Hess Midstream LP entered into (i) gas gathering, (ii) crude oil gathering, (iii) gas processing and fractionation, (iv) storage services and (v) terminaling and export services commercial agreements with certain subsidiaries of Hess, each generally with an initial ten ten with a subsidiary of Hess. These agreements also provide Hess Midstream the capacity to provide concurrent use of these services directly to third parties. The Midstream segment ’ s responsibility to provide each service for each year under each of the commercial agreements are considered separate, distinct performance obligations. Revenue is recognized over-time for each performance obligation as services are rendered using the output method, measured using the amount of volumes serviced during the period. The commercial agreements contain minimum volume commitments which fluctuate based on nominations covering substantially all of our E&P segment's existing and future owned or controlled production in the Bakken and projected third-party volumes owned or controlled by our E&P segment through dedicated third-party contracts. Minimum volume commitments are equal to 80% of the nominations and apply on a three-year rolling basis such that they are set for the three years following the most recent nomination. As the minimum volume commitments are subject to fluctuation, and these commercial agreements contain fee inflation escalators and fee recalculation mechanisms, substantially all of the transaction price is variable at inception of each of the commercial agreements. The Midstream segment has elected the practical expedient under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers to recognize revenue in the amount it is entitled to invoice. If the volumes delivered are less than the applicable minimum volume commitments under the commercial agreements during any quarter, the applicable Hess subsidiary is obligated to pay a shortfall fee equal to the volume deficiency multiplied by the related gathering, processing and/or terminaling fee. The Midstream segment ’ s responsibility to stand-ready to service a minimum volume over each quarterly commitment period represents a separate, distinct performance obligation. During the initial term of each commercial agreement, volume deficiencies are measured quarterly and recognized as revenue in the same period, as any associated shortfall payments are not subject to future reduction or offset. During the secondary term of each commercial agreement, the applicable Hess subsidiary will be entitled to receive a credit, calculated in barrels or Mcf, as applicable, with respect to the amount of any shortfall fee paid. Such Hess subsidiary may apply the credit against the fees payable for any volumes delivered under the applicable agreement in excess of the nominated volumes up to four quarters after the credit is earned. Unused credits will be recognized as revenue when it becomes remote that such credits will be utilized. No credits will be provided with respect to crude oil terminaling services under the terminaling and export services commercial agreement or water handling services under the water gathering and disposal services agreements. All revenues, receivables, and contract balances arising from the commercial agreements between the Midstream segment and the Hess subsidiaries that are the counterparty to the commercial agreements are eliminated upon consolidation. |
Exploration and Development Costs | Exploration and Development Costs: E&P activities are accounted for using the successful efforts method. Costs of acquiring unproved and proved oil and gas leasehold acreage, including lease bonuses, brokers’ fees and other related costs are capitalized. Annual lease rentals, exploration expenses and exploratory dry hole costs are expensed as incurred. Costs of drilling and equipping productive wells, including development dry holes, and related production facilities are capitalized. The costs of exploratory wells that find oil and gas reserves are capitalized pending determination of whether proved reserves have been found. Exploratory drilling costs remain capitalized after drilling is completed if (1) the well has found a sufficient quantity of reserves to justify completion as a producing well and (2) sufficient progress is being made in assessing the reserves and the economic and operational viability of the project. If either of those criteria is not met, or if there is substantial doubt about the economic or operational viability of a project, the capitalized well costs are charged to expense. Indicators of sufficient progress in assessing reserves and the economic and operating viability of a project include commitment of project personnel, active negotiations for sales contracts with customers, negotiations with governments, operators and contractors, firm plans for additional drilling and other factors. |
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization | Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization: We record depletion expense for acquisition costs of proved properties using the units of production method over proved oil and gas reserves. Depreciation and depletion expense for oil and gas production facilities and wells is calculated using the units of production method over proved developed oil and gas reserves. Provisions for impairment of undeveloped oil and gas leases are based on periodic evaluations and other factors. Depreciation of all other plant and equipment is determined on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. |
Capitalized Interest | Capitalized Interest: Interest from external borrowings is capitalized on material projects using the weighted average cost of outstanding borrowings until the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, which for oil and gas assets is at first production from the field. Capitalized interest is depreciated in the same manner as the depreciation of the underlying assets. |
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | Impairment of Long‑lived Assets: We review long‑lived assets, including oil and gas fields, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. If the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets are not expected to be recovered by estimated undiscounted future net cash flows, the assets are impaired and an impairment loss is recorded. The amount of impairment is measured based on the estimated fair value of the assets generally determined by discounting anticipated future net cash flows, an income valuation approach, or by a market‑based valuation approach, which are Level 3 fair value measurements. In the case of oil and gas fields, the present value of future net cash flows is based on management’s best estimate of future prices, which is determined with reference to recent historical prices and published forward prices, applied to projected production volumes and discounted at a risk-adjusted rate. The projected production volumes represent reserves, including probable reserves, expected to be produced based on a projected amount of capital expenditures. The production volumes, prices and timing of production are consistent with internal projections and other externally reported information. Oil and gas prices used for determining asset impairment will generally differ from those used in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows reported in Supplementary Oil and Gas Data , since the standardized measure requires the use of historical twelve-month average prices. |
Impairment of Goodwill | Impairment of Goodwill: Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on October 1 st or when events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value over fair value, limited by the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. At December 31, 2023, goodwill of $360 million relates to the Midstream operating segment. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents primarily comprises cash on hand and on deposit, as well as highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less when acquired. |
Inventories | Inventories: Produced and unsold crude oil and NGL are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the average cost of production plus any transport cost incurred in bringing the volumes to their present location. Materials and supplies are valued at cost. Obsolete or surplus materials identified during periodic reviews are valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. |
Leases | Leases: We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception by evaluating whether the contract conveys the right to control an identified asset during the period of use. ROU assets represent our right to use an identified asset for the lease term and lease obligations represent our obligation to make payments as set forth in the lease arrangement. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as operating leases or finance leases at the commencement date based on the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term. Where the implicit discount rate in a lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date for determining the present value of the minimum lease payments. The lease term used in measurement of our lease obligations includes options to extend or terminate the lease when, in our judgment, it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are included in the measurement of lease obligations using the index or rate at the commencement date. Variable lease payments that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances after the commencement date of the lease are not included in the minimum lease payments used to measure lease obligations. We have agreements that include financial obligations for lease and nonlease components. For purposes of measuring lease obligations, we have elected not to separate nonlease components from lease components for the following classes of assets: drilling rigs, office space, offshore vessels, and aircraft. We apply a portfolio approach to account for operating lease ROU assets and liabilities for certain vehicles, railcars, field equipment and office equipment leases. Finance lease cost is recognized as amortization of the ROU asset and interest expense on the lease liability. Operating lease cost is generally recognized on a straight-line basis. Operating lease costs for drilling rigs used to drill development wells and successful exploration wells are capitalized. Operating lease cost for other ROU assets used in oil and gas producing activities are either capitalized or expensed based on the nature of operation for which the ROU asset is utilized. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as permitted under ASC 842, Leases . We recognize lease cost for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Some of our leases with initial terms of 12 months or less include one or more options to renew. The renewal option is at our sole discretion and is not included in the lease term for measurement of the lease obligation unless we are reasonably certain at the commencement date of the lease, to renew the lease. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method. We have net operating loss carryforwards or credit carryforwards in multiple jurisdictions and have recognized deferred tax assets for those losses and credits. Additionally, we have deferred tax assets due to temporary differences between the book basis and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Regular assessments are made as to the likelihood of those deferred tax assets being realized. If, when tested under the relevant accounting standards, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to be realized. The accounting standards require the evaluation of all available positive and negative evidence giving weight based on the evidence’s relative objectivity. In evaluating potential sources of positive evidence, we consider the reversal of taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback and carryforward periods, the availability of tax planning strategies, the existence of appreciated assets, estimates of future taxable income, and other factors. In evaluating potential sources of negative evidence, we consider a cumulative loss in recent years, any history of operating losses or tax credit carryforwards expiring unused, losses expected in early future years, unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels on a continuing basis in future years, and any carryback or carryforward period so brief that a significant deductible temporary difference expected to reverse in a single year would limit realization of tax benefits. We assign cumulative historical losses significant weight in the evaluation of realizability relative to more subjective evidence such as forecasts of future income. In addition, we recognize the financial statement effect of a tax position only when management believes that it is more likely than not, that based on the technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination. We are not indefinitely reinvested with respect to the book in excess of tax basis in the investment in our foreign subsidiaries. Because of U.S. tax reform we expect that the future reversal of such temporary differences will occur free of material taxation. We classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. We account for the U.S. tax effect of global intangible low-taxed income earned by foreign subsidiaries in the period that such income is earned. We utilize the aggregate approach for releasing disproportionate income tax effects from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) . |
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations: We have legal obligations to remove and dismantle long‑lived assets and to restore land or the seabed at certain E&P locations. We initially recognize a liability for the fair value of legally required asset retirement obligations in the period in which the retirement obligations are incurred and capitalize the associated asset retirement costs as part of the carrying amount of the long‑lived assets. In subsequent periods, the liability is accreted over the useful life of the related asset, and the capitalized asset retirement costs are depreciated over proved developed oil and gas reserves using the units of production method or the useful life of the related asset. Fair value is determined by applying a credit adjusted risk-free rate to the undiscounted expected future abandonment expenditures. Changes in estimates prior to settlement result in adjustments to both the liability and related asset values, unless the field has ceased production, in which case changes are recognized in the Statement of Consolidated Income . We measure asset retirement obligations based on the requirements of existing laws and regulations in accordance with ASC 410-20, Asset Retirement Obligations . Laws and regulations associated with the scope and timing for the abandonment of oil and gas wells, facilities and equipment could change which could increase the cost of our abandonment obligations. In addition, we may be required to assume abandonment obligations for certain divested assets in the event the current or future owners of facilities previously owned by us are unable to perform, whether due to bankruptcy or otherwise. |
Retirement Plans | Retirement Plans: We recognize the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans in the Consolidated Balance Sheet . The funded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. We recognize the net changes in the funded status of these plans as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the year in which such changes occur. Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market value of plan assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of active employees or the remaining average expected life if a plan’s participants are predominantly inactive. |
Derivatives | Derivatives: We utilize derivative instruments for financial risk management activities. In these activities, we may use futures, forwards, options and swaps, individually or in combination, to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in prices of crude oil and natural gas, as well as changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet . Our policy for recognizing the changes in fair value of derivatives varies based on the designation of the derivative. The changes in fair value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges are recognized currently in earnings. Derivatives may be designated as hedges of expected future cash flows or forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges), or hedges of changes in fair value of recognized assets and liabilities or of unrecognized firm commitments (fair value hedges). Changes in fair value of derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) . Amounts included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for cash flow hedges are reclassified into earnings in the same period that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recognized currently in earnings. The change in fair value of the related hedged item is recorded as an adjustment to its carrying amount and recognized currently in earnings. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements: We use various valuation approaches in determining fair value for financial instruments, including the market and income approaches. Our fair value measurements also include non-performance risk and time value of money considerations. Counterparty credit is considered for financial assets, and our credit is considered for financial liabilities. We also record certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities at fair value when required by GAAP. These fair value measurements are recorded in connection with business combinations, qualifying nonmonetary exchanges, the initial recognition of asset retirement obligations and any impairment of long‑lived assets, equity method investments, goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as environmental credits. We determine fair value in accordance with the fair value measurements accounting standard which established a hierarchy for the inputs used to measure fair value based on the source of the inputs, which generally range from quoted prices for identical instruments in a principal trading market (Level 1) to estimates determined using related market data (Level 3), including discounted cash flows and other unobservable data. Measurements derived indirectly from observable inputs or from quoted prices from markets that are less liquid are considered Level 2. When Level 1 inputs are available within a particular market, those inputs are selected for determination of fair value over Level 2 or 3 inputs in the same market. Multiple inputs may be used to measure fair value; however, the level assigned to a fair value measurement is based on the lowest significant input level within this fair value hierarchy. Details on the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values are as follows: Fair value measurements based on Level 1 inputs: Measurements that are most observable are based on quoted prices of identical instruments obtained from the principal markets in which they are traded. Closing prices are both readily available and representative of fair value. Market transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to assure liquidity. Fair value measurements based on Level 2 inputs: Measurements derived indirectly from observable inputs or from quoted prices from markets that are less liquid are considered Level 2. Measurements based on Level 2 inputs include over-the-counter derivative instruments that are priced on an exchange-traded curve but have contractual terms that are not identical to exchange-traded contracts. Fair value measurements based on Level 3 inputs: Measurements that are least observable are estimated from related market data, determined from sources with little or no market activity for comparable contracts or are positions with longer durations. Fair values determined using discounted cash flows and other unobservable data are also classified as Level 3. |
Netting of Financial Instruments | Netting of Financial Instruments: We generally enter into master netting arrangements to mitigate legal and counterparty credit risk. Master netting arrangements are generally accepted overarching master contracts that govern all individual transactions with the same counterparty entity as a single legally enforceable agreement. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code provides for the enforcement of certain termination and netting rights under certain types of contracts upon the bankruptcy filing of a counterparty, commonly known as the “safe harbor” provisions. If a master netting arrangement provides for termination and netting upon the counterparty’s bankruptcy, these rights are generally enforceable with respect to “safe harbor” transactions. If these arrangements provide the right of offset and our intent and practice is to offset amounts in the case of such a termination, our policy is to record the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. In the normal course of business, we rely on legal and credit risk mitigation clauses providing for adequate credit assurance as well as close‑out netting, including two‑party netting and single counterparty multilateral netting. As applied to us, “two‑party netting” is the right to net amounts owing under safe harbor transactions between a single defaulting counterparty entity and a single Hess entity, and “single counterparty multilateral netting” is the right to net amounts owing under safe harbor transactions among a single defaulting counterparty entity and multiple Hess entities. We are reasonably assured that these netting rights would be upheld in a bankruptcy proceeding in the U.S. in which the defaulting counterparty is a debtor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. |
Share-based Compensation | Share-based Compensation: We account for share-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value of all share‑based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period for the entire award, whether the award was granted with ratable or cliff vesting terms, net of actual forfeitures. We estimate fair value at the date of grant using a Black‑Scholes valuation model for employee stock options and a Monte Carlo simulation model for performance share units (PSUs). Fair value of restricted stock is based on the market value of the underlying shares at the date of grant. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Remeasurement: The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency (primary currency in which business is conducted) for our foreign operations. Adjustments resulting from remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded in Other, net in the Statement of Consolidated Income . |
Maintenance and Repairs | Maintenance and Repairs: Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Capital improvements are recorded as additions in Property, plant and equipment . |
Environmental Expenditures | Environmental Expenditures: |
Environmental Credits | Environmental Credits: Carbon credits and renewable energy certificates are purchased to fulfill voluntary emissions reduction targets and are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets. They are expensed when retired to offset emissions and are tested for impairment annually on October 1 st, or when events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that fair value is less than carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment loss would be recorded for the excess of the carrying value over fair value. In response to feedback from constituents and the staff ’ s related research and analysis, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) added a project to its technical agenda on May 25, 2022 to address the accounting for environmental credits due to a lack of existing guidance for accounting for environmental credits. Our environmental credits fall within the scope of this project. Included among the tentative decisions made by the FASB on January 31, 2024, is a prohibition against capitalizing the cost of environmental credits that will not be sold or used to settle environmental credit obligations. In 2023, we purchased $75 million REDD+ carbon credits (2022: $75 million, 2021: $0 million) under a long-term agreement with the Government of Guyana that was executed in December 2022 in order to support ongoing carbon emissions reduction efforts by the Corporation. The carbon credits acquired by us are registered on the ART Registry, an over-the-counter registry, and can be sold to third parties or retired to offset emissions. These amounts would have been expensed in the period of purchase, instead of capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets, if the prohibition per the tentative decision above were applied. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of our carbon credits of $150 million (2022: $75 million) is included in non-current Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet . All renewable energy certificates were retired and expensed in the period of purchase. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures . The ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU does not change how an entity identifies its operating segments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting the ASU on our consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures |
