Part 2/7:
Hess has concentrated its drilling efforts in the Bakken, which the company considers one of its best-performing regions. By adopting a manufacturing approach to drilling, Hess prioritizes cost reductions and efficiency, enabling it to produce oil effectively. The company aims for a compound annual growth rate in production between 15-20% through 2021. With an inventory that allows for approximately 15 years of drilling at $60 oil, Hess is well-positioned for sustained growth, especially if oil prices rise.
