Hilcorp Energy Company

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1989, Hilcorp is the largest privately held independent exploration & production company in the United States. Over our almost thirty year history, we’ve earned our reputation as an “operator of choice” because of our dedication to safe, responsible and innovative operations.  Hilcorp is a leader in taking on legacy oil and gas assets across the United States and reinvigorating production with innovation and integrity. We thrive on efficiency, and create value through both energy production and the positive impacts it has on the communities where we work.  In addition to providing high-quality careers for nearly two thousand employees and the many local and regional businesses that support our operations, we recover natural resources that might otherwise be left behind.

• Completed over $6 billion of oil and gas property acquisitions.
• Invested more than $5 billion in development capital in our assets.
• Exponentially increased reserves and production.

At Hilcorp, we have a vision – to be the premier independent energy company in America.

• How do we define that? Through the safe and responsible production of energy together with our employees, and the communities where we do business. Whether working on the North Slope of Alaska, the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming, or along the Rio Grande in Texas, our success relies on the innovation and ingenuity of each and every one of our employees.
• While energy is our product, our greatest resource is our people. With a workforce of nearly 2,000 dedicated professionals, we strive to achieve our vision through continuous improvement each and every day in all aspects of our business – safety, environmental protection and production.

• Vision: To be the premier independent energy company in America.

• Mission: Entrepreneurs unlocking energy for the betterment of our employees and our communities.

• Values: Our values are not a poster on the wall – they are fundamental in how we approach all aspects of our business.

Integrity

What is integrity? It’s the moral and ethical principles that Hilcorp represents and practices. It’s caring about others and knowing that they have the trust and confidence in the words we speak and the products that we deliver- whether internal or external to the Hilcorp family. It’s a virtue that radiates throughout Hilcorp.

Ownership

It’s very refreshing to wake up every day and look forward to heading into work. To know that how effective and productive I am in my job has a direct impact on how much money not only that I can bring home, but my colleagues as well, make every minute rewarding.

Innovation

Creativity and constant improvement are vital to our operations. Developing energy that would have otherwise been lost often brings new and unusual challenges to the table. As a result, we constantly ask ourselves: Is there a better way to do this? Improvement is definitely a key component of Hilcorp’s success.
