Our History
Founded in 1989, Hilcorp is one of the largest privately held independent exploration & production companies in the United States. For over thirty years, 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 energy production, reduction of emissions, and a positive impact on the communities where we work.
In just the last five years, Hilcorp has:
Completed over $5 billion of oil and gas property acquisitions.
Invested more than $2.5 billion in development capital in our assets.
Consistently increased reserves and production.
Our unique culture, values, and ethics have been the root of this success.
As we continue to grow, we are dedicated to building upon these core strengths, to continue challenging the status quo – to work smarter, safer and harder – to create greater value for all of our stakeholders.
