At Hunt Energy, we maintain a “keep it onsite” approach in regard to spill prevention and management.
Through our proprietary SIMS, we proactively plan for and address potential environmental impacts associated with our activities.
Whether conducting exploration and development activities or designing production facilities, we ensure both primary and secondary containment options are identified to support our operational approach and protect the environment around us.

Partnering with Industry Experts
Hunt Energy is not currently exploring or operating offshore but over the previous decade have conducted exploration activities offshore in Australia and Benin. In both cases we partnered with Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL), an industry funded cooperative that maintains global credibility for its proficiencies in oil spill preparedness and response service. By partnering with subject matter experts and complying to their standards of excellence, we ensure Hunt Energy’s offshore activities are managed and prepared to the industry best practices for spill preparedness and response.
