Fun facts about Hess Midstream LP

Quirks, history, and lore behind HESM — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    U.S. midstream energy company · listed on NYSE · headquartered in Houston, Texas · structured as a master limited partnership.
  • 2
    The Numbers
    Generates revenue in the hundreds of millions of dollars annually, with cash flows underpinned by long-term, fee-based contracts that make Wall Street sleep soundly.
  • 3
    The History
    Went public in 2017, carved out of a parent oil company's infrastructure assets — a classic MLP move to unlock value from pipelines and processing facilities.
  • 4
    The Secret
    It doesn't drill a single well — instead it gathers, compresses, processes, and transports natural gas and crude oil, essentially acting as the toll road between the wellhead and the market.
  • 5
    The Lore
    Nearly all of its volumes flow from a single upstream customer — its own parent company — making it unusually cozy, or unusually dependent, depending on how you look at it.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    Its parent is a storied independent oil company founded by Leon Hess, famous for the Bakken Shale and once owning a certain NFL team — and this spinoff carries that same family name.

What's Driving HESM's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

25/25 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from Hess Midstream LP's 10-Q filed 2026-05-07 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Q1 revenue of $390.1M up 2% YoY as higher tariff rates and third-party services offset 5–9% volume declines; Adjusted EBITDA grew 3% to $299.8M.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $390.1M+2% YoY

Gathering$204.1M+0% YoY

Higher tariff rates and pass-through revenue offset lower gas and crude oil gathering volumes from Chevron.

Processing and Storage$148.4M+0% YoY

Higher tariff rates and third-party services offset lower gas processing volumes from Chevron.

Terminaling and Export$37.6M+23% YoY

Higher tariff rates and MVC revenue recognized from prior deferrals, partially offset by lower volumes.

Largest Expense Items

Operating and maintenance expenses$85.6MFlat YoY

Higher pass-through costs and offload fees offset by lower employee costs and maintenance activity.

Depreciation expense$58.5M+14% YoY

New gathering and compression assets brought into service; write-off of Capa gas plant project.

Interest expense, net$55.4M-1% YoY

Lower interest on senior notes following prior-year early redemption, offset by higher revolving credit borrowings.

Margins: Operating margin compressed slightly as depreciation grew 14% YoY while revenues rose only 2%, driven by new asset additions. Adjusted EBITDA margin remained stable at ~77% as higher tariff rates and pass-through revenues offset volume declines.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • Chevron represents 96% of revenues and 96% of accounts receivable; high customer concentration creates significant dependency on single customer performance.
  • Gas gathering volumes down 1.6% YoY (438 vs 431 MMcf/d), crude oil gathering down 6% (110 vs 117 MBbl/d), oil terminaling down 5% (119 vs 125 MBbl/d), and water gathering down 9% (115 vs 126 MBbl/d) reflect lower production.
  • Secondary Term commercial agreements (commenced Jan 2024) employ fixed fee structure based on 2021–2023 average fees with 3% annual cap, replacing fee recalculation mechanism; provides less downside protection than Initial Term.
  • Minimum volume commitments set at 80% of Chevron's nominations on three-year rolling basis through 2033 provide downside protection; deferred revenue from MVC shortfall fees totaled $15.7M at Q1 2026.
