Divestiture program for share repurchase
Hess Corp. (NYSE:HES) Bakken Shale posted total production of 65,000 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, or mboed, up 55% year-over-year, in the first quarter of this year. As Bakken Shale is cost effective and rich in oil resources, the company has increased its production. To ramp up production, it is currently engaged in pad drilling.
