The Alaska Department of Natural Resources' Division of Oil and Gas has approved an operator change for the Prudhoe Bay unit.

In a Dec. 22 approval, division Director Derek Nottingham said the division received notification on Dec. 18 that Hilcorp North Slope LLC was resigning as operator of the Prudhoe Bay unit and designating Hilcorp Alaska LLC as successor unit operator.

Hilcorp North Slope LLC will continue to be the working interest owner within the PBU.

"Hilcorp reported business optimization and operating and reporting efficiency by aligning ownership geographically as justification for transfer of ownership," Nottingham said.
