Precluded Any Claim that Hilcorp has Acted in Good Faith
* "In a strongly worded decision that accused Hilcorp Alaska of an "endemic" disregard for Alaska regulations, a state agency has fined the oil and gas producer $20,000 after it used a blowout preventer to control a well at a North Slope field last year.
* The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission also accused the company of "misleading" the agency."
But the agency also said that Hilcorp has sent an email providing the agency with "misleading" and "incomplete" information.
* State oil-well regulators hit Hilcorp Alaska with another fine on Thursday, a $30,000 penalty.
* The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, noting Hilcorp's history of violations in Alaska.
* "Hilcorp's history of noncompliance and its failure to take the rudimentary measure of entering AOGCC's requirements in its regulatory tracking system preclude any claim that Hilcorp has acted in good faith,"
