Joining the family business, Lauren Hendrix is now Director of Marketing for the HEX, LLC family of companies. After seven years at ASRC Energy Services, spearheading a rebranding as Director of Marketing and Proposals, Hendrix is taking a role at Cook Inlet’s only Alaskan-owned natural gas producer, led by her father, CEO and President John Hendrix.

In her new position, Hendrix works with Chief Commercial Officer Mark Slaughter on strategy, gas contracting, permitting, and communications for HEX Cook Inlet, Furie Operating Alaska, Cornucopia, and Corsair. This is a return to the natural gas business; Hendrix previously worked on the communications team for the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation.

Hendrix earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from The University of Mississippi and a master’s degree in corporate public relations from Boston University. She also holds professional certificates in finance, drilling, and gas handling. She previously worked for MSI Communications, Brilliant Media Strategies, and NANA Management Services.

Hendrix enjoys cross-country skiing, walking Anchorage trails, designing, and painting. Her newborn daughter is also the namesake of a Cook Inlet platform: after a successful drilling campaign this summer, the company rechristened the Julius R monopod in the Kitchen Lights Unit “Allegra Leigh.”

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
