In a CEO message on Hilcorp Energy’s website near the time of Hilcorp Alaska’s takeover of Chevron subsidiary Union Oil Company of California’s Cook Inlet assets, Jeff Hildebrand, the company’s founder, president and CEO, cites “world-class employees, legacy assets and a strong balance sheet” as the reasons for the company’s success.

“We focus on what we do well,” Hildebrand said, listing the company’s core competencies as engineering and geological expertise and operational excellence.

Hilcorp’s mission? “To efficiently develop energy that would otherwise be lost while providing an enjoyable and challenging work environment where long-term personal wealth can be created,” Hildebrand said.
