Hilcorp CEO Says Co. Aims to be Best “Late-Life” Operator in O&G

Hilcorp is a major driller founded in 1989 by Jeff Hildebrand. It is THE largest privately-held (stock not publicly traded) oil and natural gas exploration and production company in the U.S. Headquartered in Houston, TX, Hilcorp has over 1,825 employees in multiple operating areas including the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Alaska, and (yes) in the Marcellus/Utica. While they don’t have a huge presence here in the northeast, Hilcorp does actively drill shale wells in Lawrence County, PA and Columbiana County, OH. A recent Forbes article based on an interview with Hilcorp CEO Greg Lalicker proved to be a revelation for us: Hilcorp is not unlike Diversified Energy (or maybe it's the other way around).
