Our Foundation
When musical notes are played in unison to produce harmony, it’s called a chord. By bringing together Whiting and Oasis in a merger of equals, we joined two excellent oil and gas operators to strike a new chord and create a new harmony in the industry. A chord is also a line segment joining two points on a curve, and Chord combines complementary, high-quality assets and outstanding talent and operational practices. The companies were already strategically like-minded and culturally aligned, so as Chord, we are ideally positioned to enhance return of capital and generate strong free cash flow, while being responsible stewards of communities and our environment—all in unison.
Chord Energy has the position, scale, and operational flexibility to lead in the Williston Basin.
