The following is a reprint of a press release provided by HEX, LLC on May 28, 2026.
Alaska’s strategic asset and only locally owned natural gas producer and operator, HEX LLC (HEX), is unifying its operations under a single HEX brand. Furie Operating Alaska, LLC, the operating company of the Cook Inlet Kitchen Lights Unit, will become HEX Operating LLC. HEX Cook Inlet, LLC will become HEX Energy LLC. The rebranding reflects the company’s evolution and long-term strategic direction while creating a consistent identity across the HEX Family of Companies. HEX’s assets are a critical piece of U.S. energy infrastructure in Alaska, powering communities with natural gas produced by Alaskans, for Alaskans.
“We’re the all-Alaskan company that kept Alaskan Railbelt homes warm last winter,” states John Hendrix, President and CEO of HEX LLC. “Through disciplined investment and a long-term commitment to Alaska, we have doubled our natural gas production and invested over $40 million locally into Alaska’s economy. HEX is strengthening energy security, proving Cook Inlet has reliable natural gas supply, and ensuring Alaska’s energy future is built by Alaskans, for Alaskans. We only operate in Alaska and know Alaska is the best place to invest for our future.”
HEX Operating has demonstrated strong operational performance, operating the top two producing natural gas wells in Cook Inlet in 2025. Building on this success, the company plans to drill two additional wells in 2026, reinforcing its focus on disciplined growth and long-term supply for Alaska markets. HEX operates critical infrastructure in the Cook Inlet basin. According to U.S. Geological Survey, the Cook Inlet has 19 Trillion Cubic Feet (Tcf) of natural gas, which is about 244 years of consumption at today’s energy-use rates.1 The Cook Inlet basin has the critical energy infrastructure supplying the 100% of Railbelt natural gas demand.
While the company name and visual identity are evolving, HEX’s core commitments remain unchanged. Safety, operational excellence, teamwork, and community stewardship continue to guide all aspects of the business.
