Living Hilcorp’s Values

JenniferIntegrity – Do the Right Thing – “After being at Hilcorp for nine years, I can’t imagine working for a company that’s not open book. You want to know how we’re doing? How your slice of the pie is performing? We share the good news and the bad – nothing is sugarcoated. We owe that to every employee whose work generates the numbers we report.” Jennifer, Senior Business Analyst



MichaelUrgency – Act Today, Not Tomorrow - “Things don’t break on a schedule. Lots of issues can’t wait until the next weekly meeting. Constant communication, input from the field and the power to make quick decisions- these are Hilcorp, all the way. When you operate on principles like these, you’re going to overcome more obstacles in less time and ultimately produce more.” Michael, Reservoir Engineer


JohnOwnership – Work Like You Own the Company – “It’s rewarding to be the one responsible for squeezing those last drops of energy out of a formation. It takes hard work, and there are some days when I feel like I’m going 200 mph with my hair on fire. But being part of a team that’s trying to maximize our country’s energy reserves – well, I’m proud to be a part of that.” John, Senior Geologist




JeffAlignment – When Hilcorp Wins, We All Win – “Early on, I worked at places where bonuses were just “pennies from heaven”. Hilcorp ties incentives to things our people can control – our actions influence what we’re paid. Since we pull together, not competing against each other and we all have skin in the game, it’s amazing what we can accomplish.” Jeff, Chairman/CEO




TommyImprovement - Get Better Every Day – “Continuous improvement takes tenacity. If we try something and it doesn’t work, we try something else. It’s all about staying focused on the problem until a solution is found. Then we look around and ask ourselves, where else can we apply what we learned? What else can we extract a little bit more from?” Tommy, Area Operations Manager
