#### Introductory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the consummation, on July 18, 2025 (the "Closing Date"), of the previously announced Merger (as defined below) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 22, 2023 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Hess Corporation ("Hess"), Chevron Corporation, a Delaware corporation<sup>1</sup>, and Yankee Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation ("Merger Subsidiary"). At the effective time of the Merger on the Closing Date, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Merger Subsidiary merged with and into Hess (the "Merger"), with Hess continuing as the surviving corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation.

At the effective time of the Merger, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Hess (except as otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 1.025 of a share of common stock of Chevron Corporation.

Hess's indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Hess Investments North Dakota LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("HINDL"), is the sole member of Hess Infrastructure Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("HIP GP LLC"), which is the sole member of Hess Midstream GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("GP LLC") and the general partner of Hess Midstream GP LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "General Partner") and the general partner of Hess Midstream LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Company").

#### Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Merger, Chevron Corporation is the direct parent of Hess and, therefore, indirectly owns each of the following:

• 100% of the limited liability company interests in HIP GP LLC;

• 100% of the limited liability company interests in GP LLC;

• 100% of the partnership interests in the General Partner; and

• 100% of the limited liability company interests in HINDL, the holder of 449,000 Class A shares representing limited partner interests ("Class A Shares") in the Company and 78,979,190 Class B units representing limited partner interests ("Class B Units") in Hess Midstream Operations LP, a Delaware limited partnership through which the Company indirectly holds all of its operating assets.

Through its ownership of Hess, HIP GP LLC, GP LLC, the General Partner and HINDL, Chevron Corporation indirectly manages and controls the Company and holds 100% of the issued and outstanding Class B shares representing limited partner interests in the Company and 100% of the Class B Units, which together are exchangeable into Class A Shares and collectively represent an approximate 37.8% interest in the Company on a consolidated basis.

#### Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The information set forth in Item 5.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

<sup>1</sup> Unless expressly stated otherwise herein, the term "Chevron" may refer to Chevron Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole, but unless stated otherwise they do not include "affiliates" of Chevron – that is, those companies accounted for by the equity method (generally owned 50% or less) or non-equity method investments.

***Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information***

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "guidance," "could," "may," "should," "would," "believe," "intend," "project," "plan," "predict," "will," "target," "drive," "focus" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which are not historical in nature. Our forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: our future financial and operational results; our business strategy and profitability; and our ability to execute future accretive opportunities, including incremental return of capital to shareholders and potential incremental repurchase transactions.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current understanding, assessments, estimates and projections of relevant factors and reasonable assumptions about the future. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our current projections or expectations of future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements: the ability of Chevron and other parties to satisfy their obligations to us, including Chevron's ability to meet its drilling and development plans on a timely basis or at all, its ability to deliver its nominated volumes to us, and the operation of joint ventures that we may not control; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to pay current and expected levels of distributions; reductions in the volumes of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and produced water we gather, process, terminal or store; the actual volumes we gather, process, terminal and store for Chevron in excess of our minimum volume commitments and relative to Chevron nominations; fluctuations in the prices and demand for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs; changes in global economic conditions and the effects of a global economic downturn or inflation on our business and the business of our suppliers, customers, business partners and lenders; our ability to comply with government regulations or make capital expenditures required to maintain compliance, including our ability to obtain or maintain permits necessary for capital projects in a timely manner, if at all, or the revocation or modification of existing permits; our ability to successfully identify, evaluate and timely execute our capital projects, investment opportunities and growth strategies, whether through organic growth or acquisitions; costs or liabilities associated with federal, state and local laws, regulations and governmental actions applicable to our business, including legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to environmental protection and health and safety, such as spills, releases, pipeline integrity and measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions and climate change; our ability to comply with the terms of our credit facility, indebtedness and other financing arrangements, which, if accelerated, we may not be able to repay; reduced demand for our midstream services, including the impact of weather or the availability of the competing third-party midstream gathering, processing and transportation operations; potential disruption or interruption of our business due to catastrophic events, such as accidents, severe weather events, labor disputes, information technology failures, constraints or disruptions and cyber-attacks; any limitations on our ability to access debt or capital markets on terms that we deem acceptable, including as a result of weakness in the oil and gas industry or negative outcomes within commodity and financial markets; liability resulting from litigation; risks and uncertainties associated with Hess' completed merger and integration with Chevron Corporation; and other factors described in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any additional risks described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

------

As and when made, we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, given these risks and uncertainties, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made and there can be no assurance that such forward-looking statements will occur and actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement we make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
