Hess to partner with Global Infrastructure Partners

USA
US integrated oil company Hess Corporation is set to divest half of its Bakken midstream assets to US private equity firm Global Infrastructure Partners. The sale will cost the company $2.68 billion and create a master limited partnership between the two businesses valued at $5.35 billion.

The partnership will then file for an initial public offering in the third quarter of 2015.

Assets to be included in the joint venture are a natural gas processing plant, a crude oil truck, a pipeline terminal and a rail-loading terminal in North Dakota.

Hess will retain control of all asset operations and predicts that net income for the partnership will reach $155 million for the year ending in March 2016. Capital expenditures could go up to $350 million.
