Hilcorp Energy Co., one of the largest private oil and gas exploration and production companies in the US, signed a binding agreement to acquire 100% of the Nikaitchuq and Oooguruk oil fields owned by Eni in Alaska.
Hilcorp first entered Alaska in 2011. In 2020, the operator expanded from Cook Inlet to the North Slope’s Prudhoe Bay. The company has over 950,000 gross acres under production in Alaska with more than 1,700 producing wells across the state producing 135,000 boe/d.
