Dew,
As of late 2005 BM-S-22 was Hess's only Brazilian asset (they retained a 40% interest after selling the other 60% to xom & petrobras) but I think they have at least 2 others now (bm-es-20 bm-c-15). Look for info on wells Azulao & Guarani. They are continuing to explore the Santos & Esperito basin although they've cut their capex budget by ~35%. Petrobras recently announced a new shallow water oil discovery in a block that formerly belonged to Hess.

I dont know much about Hess or exploration efforts in Brazil and i have to be careful about what i say. The above is all public domain but hopefully it will be helpful.
