       Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of Hess in the Merger,
page 67

   1.                                                   We note your new
disclosure indicating that the filing of the arbitration relating to the
                                                        Stabroek ROFR may delay
the completion of the merger and that Hess seeks to complete
                                                        the arbitration by the
end of 2024. In light of this new disclosure, ensure that all related
                                                        disclosures are updated
and current.

   2.                                                   The tax opinion which
you filed as Exhibit 8.1 opines that the Merger will qualify as a
                                                           reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, but it does not
                                                        constitute a short-form
opinion with regard to the disclosure in this section. Counsel's
                                                        opinion expressly
states: "We express no opinion on any issue or matter relating to the tax

       consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or
the
       Registration Statement other than the opinion set forth above."

       If you elect to use a short-form opinion, the Exhibit 8 short-form
opinion and the tax
       disclosure in the proxy statement / prospectus both must identify
counsel, state clearly that
       the disclosure in this section is the opinion of the named counsel or
accountant, and that
       disclosure must clearly identify and articulate the opinion being
rendered. For reference,
       please see Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 at Sections III.A.1 and III.B.2.
