Overview

Williston/Bakken oil pure-play created from the 2022 Oasis-Whiting merger and scaled via the ~$4bn Enerplus acquisition (mid-2024); FY2025 delivered 276.6 MBoe/d (56% oil) and $817M adjusted free cash flow.

Peer-leading balance sheet (net debt ~$1.31bn, ~0.6x EBITDA) and a return-of-capital model anchored on a raised base dividend plus buybacks; GAAP net income fell to $44.5M in 2025 on weaker oil prices despite $551M adjusted net income.

Its EV/EBITDA of 3.9x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 10.5% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $9.87/boe of proved reserves it is cheaper than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Chord Energy Corporation scores 57/100, strongest on growth (90/100). Sub-scores: value 53, quality 44, growth 90, risk 35 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Chord Energy Corporation holds approximately 0.92 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 277 thousand boe/d (75% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 9.1 years. Break-even: ~$40 (WTI FCF breakeven) — 3-mile laterals and Enerplus synergies keep the corporate FCF breakeven in the low-$40s WTI, with the base dividend covered well below that.

Net asset value (public-source)

For Chord Energy Corporation, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
