The Exploration and Production (E&P) segment posted a $494 million profit in the quarter, compared to a loss of $125 million in the year-earlier quarter. Results were positively impacted by significant increase in oil prices and volumes.

Quarterly crude oil and natural gas production, on an oil-equivalent barrel basis, was 415 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOE/d) -- 72% liquids and 28% natural gas -- up more than 9% year over year but down 1% sequentially.

Worldwide crude oil realization per barrel during the quarter was $63.74 (including the impact of hedging), up 14% sequentially and 42% year over year. Worldwide natural gas prices (including the impact of hedging) increased approximately 13% sequentially but were down 17% year over year to $5.19 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf).

The Marketing and Refining segment posted earnings of $17 million, compared to $152 million in the year-earlier quarter, primarily due to lower margins. Hess’ share from the HOVENSA refinery (located on the island of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands) was a $64 million loss, compared to a $21 million profit in the year-earlier quarter.

Similar to Hess Corp, ConocoPhillips (COP) was also hurt by its Refining and Marketing segment during the fourth quarter.

Quarterly net cash flow from operations was $1.27 billion. Hess’ capital expenditures totaled $992 million, of which approximately 96% went into the E&P business. At the end of the quarter, the company had approximately $1.36 billion in cash and $4.47 billion in long-term debt, reflecting a debt-to-capitalization ratio of about 24.8%.

The company’s proved reserves were 1,437 million barrels of oil equivalent as on December 31, 2009 (almost flat with the year-end 2008 data), replacing nearly 103% of 2009’s production, resulting in a reserve life of 9.5 years.

We continue to see upstream momentum on the back of the company's large inventory of exploration and development projects. The success on the exploration front, particularly in Australia and Libya, increase in interest in two offshore fields in Norway and commodity price leverage has improved the company’s prospects.

We currently have a Neutral rating for Hess shares.
