Hess Infrastructure Partners LP Announces Closing of Acquisition of Hess Corporation’s Bakken Water Business

Hess Infrastructure Partners LP (“HIP” or the “Partnership”), a
midstream energy joint venture between Hess Corporation (“Hess”) (NYSE:
HES) and Global Infrastructure Partners (“GIP”) and the sponsor of Hess
Midstream Partners LP, a publicly traded master limited partnership
(“Hess Midstream”), today announced that it has closed the previously
announced acquisition of Hess’ existing Bakken water services business
for a total cash consideration of $225 million, subject to customary
adjustments. The Partnership has provided Hess Midstream a right of
first offer to acquire the water services business in the event the
Partnership decides to sell the water services business in the future.

The scope of the water services business includes substantially all of
Hess’ Bakken produced water gathering assets and saltwater disposal
services in North Dakota, which currently consist of over 150 miles of
existing Hess water gathering pipelines capturing approximately 30,000
barrels per day of produced water. The water services business is
supported by a long-term contract that includes minimum volume
commitments for both produced water gathering and disposal services, and
annual tariff rate recalculations for the produced water gathering
services.

In addition, on February 26, 2019, HIP announced an agreement to acquire
approximately 75 miles of produced water gathering pipelines from Summit
Midstream Partners. This acquisition will be incorporated into HIP’s
existing long-term water contract and is expected to close in the first
quarter of 2019.
