CHRD

Chord Energy Corp

An independent oil and gas producer working the Williston Basin of North Dakota and Montana, where it pulls crude from the Middle Bakken and Three Forks formations. The company was formed in 2022 as a "merger of equals" between Oasis Petroleum and Whiting Petroleum, then grew further by buying Enerplus in 2024 to hold one of the largest acreage positions in the region. The name Chord was chosen because a musical chord is many notes played in harmony—a nod to two companies joining forces.
