XTO Acquisition Completed

At the September 11th Board Meeting, CIRCAC Executive Director Mike Munger provided an update on Hilcorp Alaska LLC's acquisition of XTO Energy to the Board of Directors. The acquisition was completed on September 1 with the sale to Hilcorp of XTO's two offshore platforms (A&C) and their Nikiski onshore facilities.

Nearly all of XTO's Alaska senior management team has either transferred to other XTO facilities in the Lower 48, retired, or have taken other positions with Alaska's oil industry. Mr. Munger praised the cooperative and open relationship that CIRCAC has enjoyed with XTO Energy partners and wished the Alaska staff well throughout the transition.
