Hess flies to Westhampton Beach the week of Chevron’s first Guyana earnings report

Hess flew from Newark Liberty International Airport to Francis S Gabreski Airport in Westhampton Beach on Thursday evening, June 11, a 33-minute hop aboard the Gulfstream G650ER (tail number N1454H). The trip comes at a notable juncture for the company’s new owner: Chevron closed its $53 billion acquisition of Hess on April 28, 2026, after prevailing in arbitration over ExxonMobil’s preemption rights, per [theindextimes.com](https://www.theindextimes.com/post/cvx-chevron-closes-the-hess-deal-powers-up-for-ai-and-rides).

The same week, ExxonMobil and Chevron reported a combined $7.6 billion in profit from Guyana last year, with Chevron’s $2.89 billion share coming through the Hess acquisition, as detailed by [fool.com](https://www.fool.com/investing/2026/06/10/exxonmobil-and-chevron-reported-a-combined-usd7-6-billion-profit-in-guyana-last-year-what-energy-investors-need-to-know/). The Stabroek Block, where Hess held a 30% stake, is producing above 900,000 barrels per day, with seven major developments planned. Hess’s flight to the Hamptons—a common destination for New York-based executives during summer weekends—suggests a brief respite after a busy period of integration and earnings disclosure.

In the week prior, the same aircraft shuttled between Teterboro, Trenton, and Essex County airports—short hops typical for board meetings and investor briefings. Westhampton Beach, home to the tony Hamptons summer community, is a recurring leisure destination for the Hess family; the flight history shows similar patterns in previous years. Hess’s home base remains Newark Liberty International, but Thursday’s trip appears to be a short-notice getaway following a heavy news cycle for the company’s legacy assets.
