What Chord Energy does

US shale oil and gas producer focused on the Bakken and Three Forks plays in North Dakota.

Sells crude oil, with associated gas and NGLs a smaller line, at market-linked prices, so revenue follows oil prices and well output, with part of production hedged. The 2022 combination of Oasis and Whiting put adjacent Bakken acreage under one operator.

Products and services

  • Bakken oil production
  • Three Forks production
  • Associated natural gas/NGLs

Customers

  • Refiners and gas marketers

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Energy
  • Upstream oil & gas (shale)
  • Bakken/Three Forks exploration…

What could go right

  • Bakken production efficiency gains
  • Oil price cycle

What could go wrong

  • Commodity price volatility
  • Single-basin (Bakken) concentration

Moat: narrow (cost advantage, scale). Consolidated, contiguous Bakken acreage from the Oasis-Whiting merger lowers per-well development costs.
