Keywords: Independent restructuring, fee rate reduction, rating downgrade
1. On October 6, HESM reached a restructuring agreement with Chevron, acquiring DJ Basin assets and paying $200 million in cash, while also reducing the Bakken midstream contract fee rates. Completion of the transaction still requires regulatory approval and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Adjustments to the business model introduce short-term uncertainty.
2. On October 2, JPMorgan downgraded HESM's rating to "Underweight," citing the gradual reduction of minimum committed volumes as well as structural uncertainty regarding the company's outlook.
3. For the second quarter ending June 30, 2026, revenue declined year-on-year, net profit fell to $173.7 million, and volumes at crude terminals, gathering, and natural gas processing all decreased.

Iraq plans to export crude oil via Syria, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
According to foreign media reports, Syria is about to provide an alternative route for Iraq's crude oil exports to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Iraq plans to arrange a fleet of oil tankers to transport crude oil by land to ports on the Mediterranean coast. Youssef Qiblawi, CEO of the Syrian National Oil Company, said that the Iraqi government has requested Syria's assistance in exporting crude oil, and both sides intend to expand cooperation beyond the current transport of fuel oil. At present, Iraq is already using a fleet of tankers to transport some fuel oil by land to Syria's Mediterranean port of Banias, from where it is loaded onto oil tankers and shipped to overseas markets. If this model is also used for crude oil, it will provide Iraq with an additional land-sea combined export route that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
