Chord Energy Corporation is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. The company's operations are primarily focused on the Williston Basin across North Dakota and Montana, where it targets the Middle Bakken and Three Forks formations. Chord Energy was formed in July 2022 through the merger of Oasis Petroleum and Whiting Petroleum, creating a scaled unconventional U.S. oil producer. In 2024, the company further expanded its footprint by acquiring Enerplus Corporation, solidifying its position as the largest pure-play operator in the Williston Basin. The company sells its production to refiners, marketers, and other purchasers with access to pipeline and rail facilities.
