Hise Family Office

Hise Family Office

The Hise family established its operating platform in 1968 through The Hise Companies. Richard Hise serves as CEO and directs the family office alongside Hise Exploration Partners LLC. The firm traces its roots to Bill R. Hise and Anne W. Hise, who began operations in 1931. Hise Exploration Partners LLC allocates across natural resources, carbon and environmental assets, and direct co-investments or SPVs. The firm evaluates prospects, manages well operations, and executes reserve estimation in high-pressure Gulf Coast environments. It has expanded from hydrocarbon production into wetland restoration and CCUS site evaluation using 2D and 3D seismic databases. Activity remains concentrated in North America with primary focus on Louisiana. The office employs degreed petroleum engineers and reservoir specialists. Richard Hise holds board roles at the Petroleum Club of Lafayette and the Episcopal School of Acadiana. Forrest Hise manages business development and reservoir engineering while serving on the board of Junior Achievement of Acadiana. No additional offices or adjacent vehicles appear in public records. The family office maintains a hybrid structure that combines internal operating capability with external advisory relationships. This setup allows direct execution of exploration programs and CCUS projects rather than reliance on third-party fund commitments.
