CTRA

Coterra Energy Inc.

An independent oil and natural gas producer that drills for fuel across the United States, with operations concentrated in the Marcellus Shale of Pennsylvania, the Permian Basin of West Texas, and Colorado. Its natural gas feeds power plants and homes, while its oil goes to refineries. The company was born in 2021 when Houston's Cabot Oil & Gas combined with Dallas-based Cimarex Energy; the name "Coterra" is a mashup of the two founders' names. A fun quirk: its ticker symbol, CTRA, has appeared in Fortune's ranking of America's most admired companies.
