In its own words, Hess Midstream...
owns oil, gas and produced water handling assets that are primarily located in the Bakken and Three Forks Shale plays in the Williston Basin area of North Dakota, one of the most prolific crude oil gathering basins in North America. HESM conducts its business through three operating segments: gathering, processing and storage and terminaling and export.
One note on the tax side: the "LP" in Hess Midstream's name is a holdover from its history and doesn't carry the usual MLP tax treatment. A 2019 restructuring converted the public company into an "Up-C" entity treated as a corporation for federal tax purposes. For you, that's simpler than owning an MLP -- distributions show up on a Form 1099-DIV instead of a Schedule K-1, and there's no obstacle to holding the stock in an IRA or another tax-deferred account.
