Chord Energy Corp

Company Overview
History and Background
Chord Energy Corp. was formed in January 2022 through the merger of Whiting Petroleum and Oasis Petroleum. Whiting Petroleum had a long history in the Williston Basin while Oasis had operations in both the Williston and Delaware basins. The merger aimed to create a stronger, more efficient company focused on developing high-return assets.
Core Business Areas
- Exploration and Production: Focuses on the exploration, development, and production of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) in the Williston Basin.
Leadership and Structure
Danny Brown serves as the President and CEO. The company operates with a functional organizational structure, dividing responsibilities across exploration, production, finance, and other key areas. A board of directors oversees the company's strategic direction.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Crude Oil: Crude oil is Chord Energy's primary product. Market share data specific to Chord is difficult to ascertain given fragmented markets. Competitors include Continental Resources (CLR), Hess Corporation (HES), and Marathon Oil (MRO).
- Natural Gas and NGLs: Chord Energy also produces natural gas and natural gas liquids as by-products. These are sold on the open market, and contribute a smaller, but still significant portion of revenues. Competitors include XTO Energy (subsidiary of ExxonMobil), and Chesapeake Energy (CHK).
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The oil and gas industry is cyclical and subject to price volatility, regulatory changes, and geopolitical events. Increased demand is tied to global economic health. The push for renewable energy sources presents a long-term challenge.
Positioning
Chord Energy is a significant player in the Williston Basin, known for its operational efficiency and strong balance sheet. Its competitive advantages include its concentrated asset base and expertise in shale oil production.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The global oil and gas market is valued at trillions of dollars. Chord Energy captures a segment of this TAM within the Williston Basin, positioning them among smaller competitors. Their revenue represents a small fraction of the total addressable market for global crude oil.
