A former adviser to Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is expected to complete the purchase of a Cook Inlet natural gas company, the Associated Press reported. Hex LLC, owned by John Hendrix, is set to purchase Furie Operating Alaska LLC for $15 million. Hex won a Dec. 5 bankruptcy auction to buy Texas-based Furie, which filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in August, records showed. Hendrix served as Walker’s oil and gas adviser from 2016 to 2018 and was general manager of Apache Corp.’s operations in Cook Inlet prior to working in the administration.
