EXPLANATORY NOTE

Hess Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), is filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) these post-effective amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) to deregister any and all shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), previously registered under the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statements”) that remain unsold or otherwise unissued under each such Registration Statement as of the date hereof (note that the share numbers listed below do not take into account corporate actions taken in the interim):

On July 18, 2025, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Chevron Corporation (“Chevron”), Yankee Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), and the Registrant, Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant (the “Merger”), with the Registrant surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron. These Post-Effective Amendments are being filed as a result of the Merger.

The Registrant, by filing these Post-Effective Amendments, hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and removes from registration any and all shares of Common Stock registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statements as of the date hereof. This filing is made in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in Part II of each Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
