What this company does

Chord Energy Corporation

Chord Energy Corporation digs for and produces oil and natural gas in the United States, primarily in a region called the Williston Basin. This means their main source of money comes from selling these important energy resources to companies that then refine them or move them to customers. Understanding this helps us see how their business is directly tied to the price of oil and gas.
