Ted Hinson

GAS MARKETING & STORAGE OPTIMIZATION

Ted brings over 36 years of experience in the energy industry, with deep expertise across natural gas marketing, storage optimization, trading, and land management. Since joining Golden Gas Service Company in 2016, Ted has been instrumental in managing and commercializing the company’s Oklahoma-based storage assets. He oversees all aspects of gas supply, marketing, risk management, and hedging strategies—optimizing physical and financial storage transactions while coordinating nominations, transportation, and long-term market access. His analytical and strategic approach has helped drive commercial value across Golden Gas’s operations.

Ted’s earlier roles include nearly two decades as a petroleum landman, where he successfully negotiated complex land, lease, and joint operating agreements and served as an expert witness before the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Prior to that, Ted spent six years at Williams Energy Marketing & Trading, where he originated and executed mid-continent storage trades and managed industrial gas sales and pipeline transportation portfolios. A skilled communicator and negotiator, Ted’s longstanding industry relationships and operational insight make him a valuable asset in supporting the commercial execution of the Joy Station Storage Project. He holds a degree from the University of Central Oklahoma.
