Company Overview

overview logo History and Background

Gulfport Energy was founded in 2006. It is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company with principal producing properties in the Utica Shale of Eastern Ohio and the SCOOP Woodford and SCOOP Springer plays in Oklahoma. The company emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2021.

business area logo Core Business Areas

  • Exploration and Production: Gulfport Energy focuses on the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas reserves, primarily in the Utica Shale and SCOOP Woodford/Springer plays.

leadership logo Leadership and Structure

The leadership team is headed by a Chief Executive Officer and includes executives responsible for finance, operations, and legal matters. The organizational structure includes departments for exploration, production, engineering, and land management.

Top Products and Market Share

overview logo Key Offerings

  • Natural Gas: Gulfport Energy's primary product is natural gas. Market share data is difficult to pinpoint exactly due to fluctuations in production and prices, and Gulfport's focus on specific basins rather than national market share. Competitors include Chesapeake Energy (CHK), EQT Corporation (EQT), and Southwestern Energy (SWN).
  • Crude Oil and Condensate: Gulfport Energy also produces crude oil and condensate as a byproduct of its natural gas operations. Market share is a smaller portion of their overall revenue. Competitors are similar to natural gas production: Chesapeake Energy (CHK), Devon Energy (DVN), and Continental Resources (CLR, now privately held).

Market Dynamics

Future Projections: Future growth is dependent on natural gas prices, production levels, and cost management. Analyst estimates vary.

Recent Initiatives: Recent initiatives include debt reduction, operational improvements, and exploration/development activities in key shale basins.

Summary

Gulfport Energy, having emerged from bankruptcy, is focused on optimizing its assets and reducing debt. While it operates in a volatile industry with considerable price risk, its cost structure is improved. Success depends on sustaining operational efficiencies and navigating the evolving energy market, and avoiding over-leveraging again.
