Hess flies to Long Island the week of Chevron’s first full-year post-merger report

Hess flew from Fernandina Beach, Florida, to Westhampton Beach, New York, on May 24, 2026, a 1-hour-48-minute hop in the Gulfstream G650ER (N1454H) that topped out at 45,025 feet. The trip arrived at Francis S Gabreski Airport on Long Island, a short drive from the Hamptons properties Hess maintains.

This landing comes the same week Chevron Corporation’s first full-year financial report since closing its $53 billion acquisition of Hess Corporation on July 18, 2025, as detailed in Chevron’s SEC filing. Per that filing, Hess contributed $5.957 billion in sales and other operating revenue to Chevron’s 2025 total of $189.4 billion. The Stabroek Block in Guyana, where Hess holds a 30% stake alongside ExxonMobil and CNOOC, remains the crown jewel — a single foreign company whose retained profits now exceed Guyana’s entire national budget, per analysis published by ChrisRam.net on May 16, 2026.

The flight pattern shows Hess has been shuttling between New Jersey airports (Teterboro, Trenton, Essex County) and Florida (Fernandina Beach) repeatedly over the past week, with a side trip to Las Vegas on May 19-20. The G650ER burns roughly 470 gallons of Jet-A per hour, emitting about 4,515 kg of CO₂ per flight hour — a calculus that grows more conspicuous as the Guyana earnings figures circulate.
