Hess Midstream bought back a further, smaller $18 million of units solely from HINDL (Chevron's subsidiary), continuing the gradual wind-down of sponsor-held units under Hess Midstream's new, Chevron-linked ownership structure.
Hess Midstream bought back about $30 million of units, this time solely from HINDL, which the filing newly discloses is now an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation - confirming Chevron's 2025 acquisition of Hess Corporation has flowed through to Hess Midstream's own sponsor structure. GIP was not part of this particular repurchase.
GIP/BlackRock sold 10-11 million more HESM shares to the public, and Hess Midstream simultaneously raised $800 million in new 5.875% senior notes due 2028 - its largest single debt raise in the recurring capital-recycling program.

Hess Midstream's latest ~$100 million sponsor unit repurchase disclosed, for the first time, that the BlackRock acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners had closed - GIP is now described as "a part of BlackRock" - and gave the post-repurchase ownership split as roughly 47.9% public, 14.3% GIP/BlackRock and 37.8% Hess Corporation.
Hess Midstream issued $600 million of new 6.500% senior notes due 2029, at a notably higher coupon than its prior debt raises, to help fund its ongoing sponsor unit repurchases.
Hess Midstream switched auditors from Ernst & Young to PricewaterhouseCoopers because sponsor Global Infrastructure Partners was itself about to be acquired by BlackRock, Inc. - a deal that would have compromised EY's independence once GIP became a BlackRock affiliate.
Global Infrastructure Partners sold 10 million HESM shares to the public on its own this time (without a parallel Hess sale), continuing to reduce its stake.
Hess Midstream refinanced its credit facility (originally set up at the 2019 reorganization), keeping the $1 billion revolver and $400 million term loan but pushing the maturity out from December 2024 to July 2027, adding a $750 million expansion option, and switching its interest-rate benchmark from LIBOR to SOFR.
Hess Midstream agreed to a $400 million unit repurchase from its sponsors, paired with another secondary share offering - repeating the capital-recycling pattern established in mid-2021.
Hess and GIP sold another roughly 7.5 million HESM shares to the public in a second secondary offering, continuing the gradual sell-down of their sponsor stakes.
Hess Midstream agreed to buy back $750 million of ownership units directly from its sponsors Hess and GIP - the first of what would become a recurring pattern of unit repurchases funded by new debt, gradually converting sponsor-held units into public float.
Hess Corporation and Global Infrastructure Partners sold 6 million HESM shares to the public in an underwritten secondary offering - the sponsors gradually monetizing part of their stake without HESM itself raising any new capital.
Hess Midstream exercised its option to extend its core minimum-volume gathering, processing and terminal agreements with Hess Corporation by another 10 years, through January 2034 - locking in the revenue base underpinning its business for over a decade beyond the original 2024 expiration.
Hess Midstream amended its core fee agreements with Hess Corporation - its majority owner and primary customer - to calculate fees off actual (rather than forecasted) operating and maintenance costs starting in 2021, a technical recalibration of the commercial terms.

The reorganization closed: Hess Midstream acquired 100% of Hess Infrastructure Partners from Hess Corporation and Global Infrastructure Partners (their 80% stake in the core pipeline joint ventures, 100% of the produced-water business, and all incentive distribution rights) for about $1.15 billion of assumed debt, roughly 230 million newly issued limited partner units, and about $550 million cash - giving Hess Midstream 100% ownership of its underlying midstream assets for the first time.
Hess Midstream LP formally became the new public registrant (ticker HESM, NYSE) succeeding Hess Midstream Partners LP, completing the corporate reshuffle into the simplified Up-C structure.
