Crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products are the primary goods that we sell. Since these products are sold in bulk, there is very little use of packaging material. We look for opportunities to improve our operations and reduce costs through more efficient use of natural resources.

GRI Status
Comments
More than half of our water usage in 2012 (54 percent) was groundwater. Our largest user of municipal water in 2012, the Port Reading refining facility, accounted for 19 percent of overall company water use. The facility purchased water from the Middlesex Water Company. Surface water sources provided 71 percent of the water distributed by this utility, with the remainder from groundwater wells (23 percent) and purchased water (6 percent). Fresh water use by business and facility is provided in our sustainability report (p.53).

Total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.
GRI Status
Comments
Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions calculations are based on The GHG
Protocol (WRI/WBCSD) and also rely on sector specific guidance provided
in the Petroleum Industry Guidelines for Reporting Greenhouse Gas
Emissions – 2nd edition (International Petroleum Industry Environmental
Conservation Association (IPIECA)/American Petroleum Institute (API)).
The majority of emission factors we use are based on the API Compendium
of GHG Emissions Estimation Methodologies for the Oil and Gas Industry
as integrated into the API tool. This tool, SANGEA, uses U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and industry-specific emission
factors for stationary and mobile sources. Some exploration and
production (E&P) assets in the U.S. are subject to US EPA mandatory
greenhouse gas reporting rules and calculate Scope 1 GHG emissions using
emissions factors required by US EPA.

In 2012 Hess marketed gasoline exclusively in the U.S. and U.S. territories and complies with all applicable regulations concerning fuel content. The EPA’s 1995 Reformulated Gasoline (RFG) program, 2004 Tier 2 Standards, 2009 Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2), and 2011 Mobile Source Air Toxics program closely regulate gasoline formulations. As a result of these mandates, our gasoline complies with a 0.62 percent benzene content limit (average) and with 30 ppm/80 ppm sulphur content limits (average/cap).
