Hilcorp

We are experts in the responsible development of resources while protecting waterways. Across all operations, we limit the use of fresh water. Hilcorp operates near or around water in the wetlands of Louisiana and in Alaska’s Cook Inlet and North Slope. Across the country, Hilcorp is a member of organizations that provide us with response assets, training, exercise support, technical expertise, and assistance in managing regulatory compliance. All are certified by the U.S. Coast Guard to provide oil spill response personnel and equipment in support of Hilcorp’s operations. For example:

Prior to the Federal Government expanding the 45Q tax credits to incentivize similar projects, our West Ranch CO2 Flood was the first project of its kind in the U.S. to capture a coal plant’s emissions and extract CO2 for commercial use.

Cook Inlet Spill Response, Inc. and the Alaska Clean Seas, covers our southern and northern operating areas in Alaska, respectively.
The Clean Gulf Associates supports our Gulf Coast operations.
Our drilling operations utilize closed loop fluid systems, which allow drilling fluids to be recycled and minimize waste. As a result, we prevent impacts to the soil and groundwater.
