GLOSSARY OF TERMS
The terms defined in this section are used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:
ARO.” Asset retirement obligations.
ASC.” Accounting Standards Codification.
ASU.” Accounting Standards Update.
Basin.” A large natural depression on the earth’s surface in which sediments generally brought by water accumulate.
Bbl.” One stock tank barrel, of 42 U.S. gallons liquid volume, used herein in reference to crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids or fresh water.
Boe.” Barrels of oil equivalent, with 6,000 cubic feet of natural gas being equivalent to one barrel of crude oil.
“Boepd.” Barrels of oil equivalent per day.
“Bopd.” Barrels of oil per day.
British thermal unit.” The heat required to raise the temperature of a one-pound mass of water from 58.5 to 59.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
Completion.” The process of treating a drilled well followed by the installation of permanent equipment for the production of natural gas or oil, or in the case of a dry hole, the reporting of abandonment to the appropriate agency.
DD&A.” Depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Dry hole.” A well found to be incapable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of such production exceed production expenses and taxes.
Economically producible.” A resource that generates revenue that exceeds, or is reasonably expected to exceed, the costs of the operation.
ESG.” Environmental, social and governance.
FASB.” Financial Accounting Standards Board.
Field.” An area consisting of a single reservoir or multiple reservoirs all grouped on, or related to, the same individual geological structural feature or stratigraphic condition. The field name refers to the surface area, although it may refer to both the surface and the underground productive formations.
Formation.” A layer of rock which has distinct characteristics that differ from nearby rock.
G&A.” General and administrative.
GAAP.” Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
GPT.” Gathering, processing and transportation.
MBbl.” One thousand barrels of crude oil, condensate, natural gas liquids or fresh water.
MBoe.” One thousand barrels of oil equivalent.
Mcf.” One thousand cubic feet of natural gas.
MMBtu.” One million British thermal units.
MMcf.” One million cubic feet of natural gas.
Net acres.” The percentage of total acres an owner has out of a particular number of acres, or a specified tract. An owner who has 50% interest in 100 acres owns 50 net acres.
“NGL.” Natural gas liquids.
NYMEX.” The New York Mercantile Exchange.
NYMEX WTI.” The New York Mercantile Exchange West Texas Intermediate crude oil price index.
OPEC+.” The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil exporting nations.
“Plug.” A down-hole packer assembly used in a well to seal off or isolate a particular formation for testing, acidizing, cementing, etc.; also a type of plug used to seal off a well temporarily while the wellhead is removed.
Productive well.” A well that is found to be capable of producing hydrocarbons in sufficient quantities such that proceeds from the sale of the production exceed production expenses and taxes.
1

Proved reserves.” Those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible — from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations — prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time. The area of the reservoir considered as proved includes (i) the area identified by drilling and limited by fluid contacts, if any, and (ii) adjacent undrilled portions of the reservoir that can, with reasonable certainty, be judged to be continuous with it and to contain economically producible crude oil or gas on the basis of available geoscience and engineering data. In the absence of data on fluid contacts, proved quantities in a reservoir are limited by the lowest known hydrocarbons, as seen in a well penetration unless geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establishes a lower contact with reasonable certainty. Where direct observation from well penetrations has defined a highest known oil, elevation and the potential exists for an associated gas cap, proved oil reserves may be assigned in the structurally higher portions of the reservoir only if geoscience, engineering, or performance data and reliable technology establish the higher contact with reasonable certainty. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (including, but not limited to, fluid injection) are included in the proved classification when (i) successful testing by a pilot project in an area of the reservoir with properties no more favorable than in the reservoir as a whole, the operation of an installed program in the reservoir or an analogous reservoir, or other evidence using reliable technology establishes the reasonable certainty of the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based; and (ii) the project has been approved for development by all necessary parties and entities, including governmental entities. Existing economic conditions include prices and costs at which economic producibility from a reservoir is to be determined. The price shall be the average price during the 12-month period prior to the ending date of the period covered by the report, determined as an unweighted arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within such period, unless prices are defined by contractual arrangements, excluding escalations based upon future conditions.
Reasonable certainty.” If deterministic methods are used, reasonable certainty means a high degree of confidence that the quantities will be recovered. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the estimate. A high degree of confidence exists if the quantity is much more likely to be achieved than not, and, as changes due to increased availability of geoscience (geological, geophysical and geochemical) engineering, and economic data are made to estimated ultimate recovery with time, reasonably certain estimated ultimate recovery is much more likely to increase or remain constant than to decrease.
Reserves.” Estimated remaining quantities of crude oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be economically producible as of a given date by application of development prospects to known accumulations.
Reservoir.” A porous and permeable underground formation containing a natural accumulation of producible natural gas and/or crude oil that is confined by impermeable rock or water barriers and is separate from other reservoirs.
“SEC.” The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Unit.” The joining of all or substantially all interests in a reservoir or field, rather than a single tract, to provide for development and operation without regard to separate property interests. Also, the area covered by a unitization agreement.
Wellbore.” The hole drilled by the bit that is equipped for crude oil or gas production on a completed well. Also called well or borehole.
“Workover.” The repair or stimulation of an existing productive well for the purpose of restoring, prolonging or enhancing the production of hydrocarbons.

Chord Energy Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Chord Energy Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Chord”) is an independent exploration and production company with quality and sustainable long-lived assets primarily located in the Williston Basin.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 is derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, have been included. Management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report”).
Enerplus Arrangement
On February 21, 2024, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Enerplus Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada (“Enerplus”), and Spark Acquisition ULC, an unlimited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to acquire Enerplus in a stock-and-cash transaction (such transaction, the “Arrangement”). Enerplus was an independent North American oil and gas exploration and production company domiciled in Canada with substantially all of its producing assets in the Williston Basin of North Dakota, with limited non-operated interests in the Marcellus Shale. The transaction was effected by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Arrangement was completed on May 31, 2024.
In connection with the Arrangement, the Board of Directors of Chord unanimously (i) determined the issuance of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Chord (the “Chord Stock Issuance”), and the amendment of Chord’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 120,000,000 to 240,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Chord Charter Amendment”) are fair to, and in the best interests of, Chord and the holders of common stock, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Chord Stock Issuance and Chord Charter Amendment and (iii) recommended that the holders of common stock approve the Chord Stock Issuance and Chord Charter Amendment.
Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Enerplus shareholders received 0.10125 shares of Chord common stock (the “Share Consideration”) and $1.84 per share in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Share Consideration, the “Arrangement Consideration”) in exchange for each share of Enerplus they owned at closing.
The Arrangement has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Chord was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Enerplus have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date on May 31, 2024. As provided under ASC 805, the purchase price allocation may be subject to change for up to one year after May 31, 2024. See Note 8—Acquisitions for additional information.
Risks and Uncertainties
As a producer of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, which are dependent upon numerous factors beyond its control such as economic, geopolitical, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. The energy markets have historically been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that the prices for crude oil, NGLs or natural gas will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in prices for crude oil and, to a lesser extent, NGLs and natural gas, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, the quantities of crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves that may be economically produced and the Company’s access to capital.

Significant Accounting Policies
Goodwill. In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but rather is tested by the Company for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may have been reduced below its carrying value. If the Company’s qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative impairment test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for that excess amount. Any such charge will not affect the Company’s cash flow from operating activities or liquidity.
Other than the item disclosed above, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). This standard clarifies that single reportable segment entities are subject to the disclosure requirements under Topic 280 in its entirety. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s annual financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically relating to the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures on income taxes paid. The Company expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2025, and the adoption is not expected to affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations, but will result in additional disclosures.
In March 2024, the SEC released its final rule on climate-related disclosures, requiring the disclosure of certain climate-related risks, management and governance practices, and financial impacts, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Large accelerated filers will be required to incorporate the applicable climate-related disclosures into their filings for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with additional requirements relating to greenhouse gas emissions effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2026. In April 2024, the SEC paused implementation of the final rule pending the resolution of consolidated legal challenges that are currently proceeding before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this rule on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Total revenues$1,260,680 $912,071 $2,345,940 $1,808,588 

The Company records revenue when the performance obligations under the terms of its customer contracts are satisfied. For sales of commodities, the Company records revenue in the month the production or purchased product is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements and payments are typically not received for 20 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production that was delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. The Company uses knowledge of its properties, its properties’ historical performance, spot market prices and other factors as the basis for these estimates. The Company records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales once payment is received from the purchaser. In certain cases, the Company is required to estimate these volumes during a reporting period and record any differences between the estimated volumes and actual volumes in the following reporting period. Differences between estimated and actual revenues have historically not been significant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

5. Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with the FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other payables, are carried at cost, which approximates their respective fair market values due to their short-term maturities. The Company recognizes its non-financial assets and liabilities, such as ARO and properties acquired in a business combination or upon impairment, at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
12

Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Commodity derivative contracts. The Company enters into commodity derivative contracts to manage risks related to changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. The Company’s swaps, collars and basis swaps are valued by a third-party preparer based on an income approach. The significant inputs used are commodity prices, discount rate and the contract terms of the derivative instruments. These assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the contract, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company recorded a credit risk adjustment to reduce the fair value of its net derivative liability for these contracts by $0.4 million and $0.5 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. See Note 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Transportation derivative contracts. The Company had buy/sell transportation contracts that were derivative contracts for which the Company had not elected the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion under FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These transportation derivative contracts were valued by a third-party preparer based on an income approach. The significant inputs used were quoted forward prices for commodities, market differentials for crude oil and either the Company’s or the counterparty’s nonperformance risk, as appropriate. The assumptions used in the valuation of these contracts included certain market differential metrics that were unobservable during the term of the contracts. Such unobservable inputs were significant to the contract valuation methodology, and the contracts’ fair values were therefore designated as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the terms of these contracts expired. See Note 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
13

Contingent consideration. In June 2021, the Company completed the divestiture of oil and gas properties in the Texas region of the Permian Basin. In connection with the divestiture, the Company is entitled to receive up to three earn-out payments of $25.0 million per year for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 if the average daily settlement price of NYMEX WTI exceeds $60 per barrel for such year (the “Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration”). If NYMEX WTI for calendar year 2023 or 2024 is less than $45 per barrel, then each calendar year thereafter the buyer’s obligation to make any remaining earn-out payments is terminated. The fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration is determined by a third-party preparer using a Monte Carlo simulation model and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck pricing process. The significant inputs used are NYMEX WTI forward price curve, volatility, mean reversion rate and counterparty credit risk adjustment. The Company determined these were Level 2 fair value inputs that are substantially observable in active markets or can be derived from observable data. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $25.0 million related to the 2023 earn-out payment. See Note 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The Company owns common units in Energy Transfer LP (“Energy Transfer”) which are accounted for using the fair value option under FASB ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Energy Transfer was determined using Level 1 inputs based upon the quoted market price of Energy Transfer’s publicly traded common units at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See Note 10—Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate for additional information.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are determined using valuation techniques that include Level 3 inputs.
Asset retirement obligations. The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred. Fair value is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows related to the liability. Estimating the future ARO requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding the timing and existence of a liability, as well as what constitutes adequate restoration when considering current regulatory requirements. Inherent in the fair value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments, including the ultimate costs, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, environmental and regulatory environments.
Oil and gas and other properties. The Company records its properties at fair value when acquired in a business combination or upon impairment for proved oil and gas properties and other properties. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. The inputs used are subject to management’s judgment and expertise and include, but are not limited to, future production volumes based upon estimates of proved reserves, future commodity prices (adjusted for basis differentials), estimates of future operating and development costs and a risk-adjusted discount rate.
Enerplus Arrangement. On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the Arrangement with Enerplus. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of May 31, 2024. The fair value of Enerplus’ oil and gas properties was calculated using an income approach based on the net discounted future cash flows from the producing properties and related assets. The inputs utilized in the valuation of the oil and gas properties and related assets acquired included mostly unobservable inputs which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such inputs included estimates of future oil and gas production from the properties’ reserve reports, forecasted commodity prices (adjusted for basis differentials), operating and development costs, expected future development plans for the properties and the utilization of a discount rate based on a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. The Company also recorded ARO assumed from Enerplus at fair value. The inputs utilized in valuing the assumed ARO were mostly Level 3 unobservable inputs, including estimated economic lives of oil and natural gas wells as of May 31, 2024, anticipated future plugging and abandonment costs and an appropriate credit-adjusted risk-free rate to discount such costs. In addition, the Company recorded goodwill as a result of the Enerplus Arrangement. Goodwill is subject to ongoing impairment evaluation as described in Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Goodwill. See Note 8—Acquisitions for additional information.
14

2023 Williston Basin Acquisition. On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition (defined in Note 8—Acquisitions). The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2023. The fair value of the oil and gas properties acquired was calculated using an income approach based on the net discounted future cash flows from the oil and gas properties. The inputs utilized in the valuation of the oil and gas properties acquired included mostly unobservable inputs which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such inputs included estimates of future oil and gas production from the properties’ reserve reports, commodity prices based on forward strip price curves (adjusted for basis differentials), operating and development costs, expected future development plans for the properties and the utilization of a discount rate based on a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. The Company also recorded the ARO assumed from the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition at fair value. The inputs utilized in valuing the ARO were mostly Level 3 unobservable inputs, including estimated economic lives of oil and natural gas wells as of June 30, 2023, anticipated future plugging and abandonment costs and an appropriate credit-adjusted risk-free rate to discount such costs. See Note 8—Acquisitions for additional information.
6. Derivative Instruments
Commodity derivative contracts. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to changes in commodity prices. The Company’s crude oil contracts settle monthly based on the average NYMEX WTI crude index price and its natural gas contracts settle monthly based on the average NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas index price.
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments including fixed-price swaps and two-way and three-way collars to manage risks related to changes in commodity prices. The Company’s fixed-price swaps are designed to establish a fixed price for the volumes under contract. Two-way collars are designed to establish a minimum price (floor) and a maximum price (ceiling) for the volumes under contract. Three-way collars are designed to establish a minimum price (floor), unless the market price falls below the sold put (sub-floor), at which point the minimum price would be the index price plus the difference between the purchased put and the sold put strike price. The sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) for the volumes under contract. The Company may, from time to time, restructure existing derivative contracts or enter into new transactions to effectively modify the terms of current contracts in order to improve the pricing parameters in existing contracts.

Transportation derivative contracts. The Company had contracts that provided for the transportation of crude oil through a buy/sell structure from North Dakota to either Cushing, Oklahoma or Guernsey, Wyoming. The contracts had required the purchase and sale of fixed volumes of crude oil through July 2024 as specified in the agreements. The Company determined that these contracts qualified as derivatives and did not elect the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion. As of June 30, 2024, the terms of both of these contracts expired. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the remaining contract was a $5.9 million asset, which was classified as a current derivative asset on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded the changes in fair value of these contracts to GPT expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Settlements on these contracts are reflected as operating activities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and represent cash payments to the counterparties for transportation of crude oil or the net settlement of contract liabilities if the transportation was not utilized, as applicable. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Contingent consideration. The Company bifurcated the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration from the host contract and accounted for it separately at fair value. The Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration is marked-to-market each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the other income (expense) section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a net gain or loss on derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration was $46.7 million, of which $24.2 million was classified as a current derivative asset and $22.5 million was classified as a non-current derivative asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration was $42.7 million, of which $22.6 million was classified as a current derivative asset and $20.1 million was classified as a non-current derivative asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

In accordance with the FASB’s authoritative guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, the Company is required to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. The Company’s derivative instruments are presented as assets and liabilities on a net basis by counterparty, as all counterparty contracts provide for net settlement. No margin or collateral balances are deposited with counterparties, and as such, gross amounts are offset to determine the net amounts presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

8. Acquisitions
2024 Acquisition
On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the Arrangement with Enerplus and issued 20,680,097 shares of common stock and paid $375.8 million of cash to Enerplus shareholders. Also on May 31, 2024, and pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Company (i) paid cash to settle Enerplus equity-based compensation awards, (ii) paid cash to satisfy and discharge in full the Enerplus credit facility and (iii) paid a cash retention bonus to Enerplus employees.
Preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Arrangement at their estimated fair value on May 31, 2024 of $4.1 billion. Goodwill recognized as a result of the Arrangement totaled $539.8 million, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The assignment of goodwill to reporting units was not complete as of June 30, 2024. Goodwill is primarily attributable to additional operational and financial synergies expected to be realized from the combined operations. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Enerplus requires judgement and certain assumptions to be made. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
The tables below present the total consideration transferred and its preliminary allocation to the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting goodwill as of the acquisition date of May 31, 2024. As provided under ASC 805, the purchase price allocation may be subject to change for up to one year after May 31, 2024, which may result in a different allocation than that presented in the tables below. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including oil and natural gas properties, intangibles and inventory, are not yet finalized and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed.

2023 Acquisition
On May 22, 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 62,000 net acres in the Williston Basin from XTO Energy Inc. and affiliates, each a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation (collectively “XTO”), for total cash consideration of $375.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the “2023 Williston Basin Acquisition”). The effective date of the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition was April 1, 2023.
On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition for total cash consideration of $361.6 million, including a deposit of $37.5 million paid to XTO upon execution of the purchase and sale agreement and $324.1 million paid to XTO at closing (including customary purchase price adjustments). The Company funded the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition with cash on hand. The 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and was recorded under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The post-acquisition operating results and pro forma revenue and earnings for the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and have therefore not been presented.
Purchase price allocation. The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition at their estimated fair value on June 30, 2023 of $361.6 million. The allocation of the fair value to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in no goodwill or bargain purchase gain being recognized. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition required judgement and certain assumptions to be made. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
The table below presents the total consideration transferred and its allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date on June 30, 2023. As provided under ASC 805, the purchase price allocation may be subject to change for up to one year after June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the purchase price was finalized with an immaterial adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation presented below.

9. Divestitures
2024 Divestitures
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company completed certain non-operated wellbore divestitures in the Williston Basin for total net cash proceeds of $18.2 million and $20.4 million, respectively.
2023 Divestitures
Non-core properties. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into separate agreements with multiple buyers to sell a vast majority of its non-core properties located outside of the Williston Basin (the “Non-core Asset Sales”). As of December 31, 2023, the Company completed these Non-core Asset Sales and received total net cash proceeds (including purchase price adjustments) of $39.1 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a pre-tax net loss on sale of assets of $8.4 million for the Non-core Asset Sales and an impairment loss of $5.6 million to adjust the carrying value of the assets held for sale to their estimated fair value less costs to sell. The impairment loss was recorded within exploration and impairment expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Other divestitures. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed certain non-operated wellbore divestitures in the Williston Basin for total net cash proceeds of $12.1 million.
10. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s investment in Energy Transfer was $117.7 million and $100.2 million, respectively, which represented less than 5% of Energy Transfer’s issued and outstanding common units. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment in Energy Transfer is recorded to investment in unconsolidated affiliate on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net gain of $5.9 million and $22.2 million, respectively, on its investment in Energy Transfer, comprised of an unrealized gain for the change in fair value of the investment of $3.6 million and $17.6 million, respectively, and a realized gain for cash distributions received of $2.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a net gain of $10.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively, on its investment in Energy Transfer, primarily comprised of an unrealized gain for the change in the fair value of its investment of $6.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and a realized gain for cash distributions received of $3.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
11. Long-Term Debt

Less: current portion of long-term debt, net(60,063) 
Total long-term debt, net$971,746 $395,902 
Senior secured revolving line of credit. The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) among Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, the Company, Chord Energy LLC, the other guarantors party thereto, each of the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and issuing bank. The Credit Facility matures on July 1, 2027.
On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, among other things, increases the borrowing base to $3.0 billion and increases the aggregate amount of elected commitments to $1.5 billion. The foregoing description of the Fifth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Fifth Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The next scheduled redetermination is expected to occur in or around October 2024.
21

At June 30, 2024, the Company had $575.0 million borrowings outstanding and $30.2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $894.8 million. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $8.9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $991.1 million.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate incurred on borrowings on the Credit Facility was 7.53% for both periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred no borrowings on the Credit Facility, resulting in a weighted average interest rate of 0.00%. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2024. The fair value of the Credit Facility approximates its carrying value since borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates, which are tied to current market rates.
Borrowings are subject to varying rates of interest based on (i) the total outstanding borrowings (including the value of all outstanding letters of credit) in relation to the borrowing base and (ii) whether the loan is a Term SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan (each as defined in the Credit Facility). The Company incurs interest on outstanding loans at their respective interest rate plus a margin rate ranging between 1.75% to 2.75% for Term SOFR Loans and 0.75% to 1.75% for ABR Loans. In addition, Term SOFR Loans are also subject to a 0.1% credit spread adjustment. The unused borrowing base is subject to a commitment fee ranging between 0.375% to 0.500%.
Senior unsecured notes. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $400.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes outstanding due June 1, 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Senior Notes, which are publicly traded among qualified institutional investors and represent a Level 1 fair value measurement, was $399.9 million and $400.0 million, respectively.
Enerplus credit facility. Upon consummation of the Arrangement on May 31, 2024, the Enerplus credit facility was terminated, and the Company paid the remaining outstanding amount of $395.0 million to fully satisfy all such outstanding obligations that were owed under the Enerplus credit facility.
Enerplus senior unsecured notes. Upon consummation of the Arrangement on May 31, 2024, the Company assumed $63.0 million of 3.79% senior unsecured notes from Enerplus (the “Enerplus Senior Notes”). The Enerplus Senior Notes are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value acquired of $60.1 million. The fair value of the Enerplus Senior Notes, which represent a Level 2 fair value measurement, was $60.3 million at June 30, 2024, and was estimated based on the amount that the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the debt, including the credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period end market rate. The period end market rate is estimated by comparing the debt to new issuances (secured or unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for both public and private debt. On July 2, 2024, the Company repaid all of the remaining outstanding Enerplus Senior Notes of $63.0 million and the remaining accrued interest on such notes of $0.8 million.
12. Asset Retirement Obligations
The following table reflects the changes in the Company’s ARO during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (in thousands):
Balance at December 31, 2023$165,546 
Liabilities assumed in Arrangement138,489 
Liabilities incurred during period1,888 
Liabilities settled during period(891)
Liabilities settled through divestitures(244)
Accretion expense during period
6,451 
Revisions to estimates1,594 
Balance at June 30, 2024
$312,833 
The Company’s ARO includes plugging and abandonment liabilities for its oil and gas properties in the United States and Canada. Accretion expense is included in depreciation, depletion and amortization on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. At June 30, 2024, the current portion of the total ARO balance was $37.0 million and is included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
13. Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.8% and 24.7% of pre-tax income, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to an effective tax rate of 24.4% and 23.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
22

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of the impact of state income taxes and Canadian losses for which no benefit is recognized. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of state income taxes.
The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of state income taxes.
On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the Arrangement, and as a result recognized a net deferred tax liability of $1.2 billion in its purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date primarily to reflect the difference between the tax basis and the fair value of Enerplus’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company did not record a Canadian deferred tax asset due to the lack of continued operations in Canada going forward.
14. Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has previously granted RSUs, PSUs and LSUs (each as defined below), as well as phantom unit awards under its equity compensation plans.
Equity-based compensation expenses are recognized in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $5.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively, in equity-based compensation expenses related to equity-classified awards. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $15.3 million and $27.2 million, respectively, in equity-based compensation expenses related to equity-classified awards. Equity-based compensation expenses related to liability-classified awards were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, at the effective time of the Arrangement, all Enerplus equity-based compensation awards became fully vested and paid in cash. The fair value of the equity-classified awards that vested on May 31, 2024 was $102.4 million.
Restricted stock units. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are contingent shares that generally vest on either a cliff or graded basis over a one-year, three-year or four-year period (as applicable) and are subject to a service condition. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 139,578 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors of the Company with a weighted average grant date fair value of $165.85 per share.
Performance share units. Performance share units (“PSUs”) that were granted prior to 2024 are contingent shares that vest on a graded basis over a three-year and four-year period and are subject to a service condition.
2024 Performance share units. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued PSUs that include (i) total stockholder return (“TSR”) PSUs (“Absolute TSR PSUs”) and (ii) relative TSR PSUs (“Relative TSR PSUs” and collectively with the Absolute TSR PSUs, the “2024 PSUs”), which are eligible to vest and become earned at the end of the applicable performance period on December 31, 2026, subject to the level of achievement with respect to certain performance goals.
The Absolute TSR PSUs are subject to time-based service requirements and market conditions based on the TSR achieved by the Company during the performance period. Depending on the Company’s TSR, award recipients may earn between 0% and 300% of the target number of Absolute TSR PSUs originally granted.
The Relative TSR PSUs are subject to time-based service requirements and market conditions based on a comparison of the TSR achieved by the Company against the TSR achieved by the members of a defined peer group at the end of the performance period. Depending on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the TSR performance of the members of the defined peer group, award recipients may earn between 0% and 200% of the target number of Relative TSR PSUs originally granted.
Any earned 2024 PSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock for up to 100% of the target number of PSUs subject to each applicable award, with any remaining earned PSUs that exceed the target number of PSUs subject to the award being settled in cash based on the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the applicable payment date. The 2024 PSUs are bifurcated and classified as equity-based and liability-based awards based on the probability of achieving various target performance thresholds.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted (i) 14,677 Absolute TSR PSUs to employees of the Company with a weighted average grant date fair value of $233.19 per share and (ii) 44,033 Relative TSR PSUs to employees of the Company with a weighted average grant date fair value of $198.73 per share.
23

Fair value assumptions. The aggregate grant date fair value of the 2024 PSUs was determined by a third-party valuation specialist using a Monte Carlo simulation model which uses a probabilistic approach for estimating the fair value of the awards. The key valuation inputs were: (i) the forecast period, (ii) risk-free interest rate, (iii) the yield curve associated with the Company’s credit rating, (iv) implied equity volatility, (v) stock price on the date of grant and, solely for Relative TSR PSUs, (vi) correlation coefficient. The risk-free interest rates are the U.S. Treasury bond rates on the date of grant that correspond to the performance period. Implied equity volatility is derived by solving for an asset volatility and equity volatility based on the leverage of the Company and each of its peers. For the Relative TSR PSUs, the correlation coefficient measures the strength of the linear relationship between and amongst the Company and its peers based on historical stock price data.
The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant date fair value and associated equity-based compensation expenses by grant date for the 2024 PSUs:

Stock price on date of grant$163.75$160.23$163.75$160.23
Leveraged stock units. Leveraged stock units (“LSUs”) are contingent shares granted to certain employees that cliff vest over a three-year and four-year period and are subject to a service condition. No LSUs were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Phantom unit awards. Phantom unit awards represent the right to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock upon vesting and vest on a graded basis over a three-year period and are subject to a service condition. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 10,531 phantom unit awards to employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $163.75 per share.
15. Stockholders’ Equity
Authorized Shares of Common Stock
Chord stockholders approved an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation on May 14, 2024 to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 120,000,000 to 240,000,000 in connection with the Arrangement. The amendment became effective on May 31, 2024.
Issuance of Common Stock
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, each Enerplus common share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was converted into the right to receive 0.10125 shares of Chord common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

Share Repurchase Program
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 558,579 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $164.23 per common share for a total cost of $91.7 million. As of June 30, 2024, there was $591.3 million of capacity remaining under the Company’s $750.0 million share repurchase program.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 319,458 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $143.41 per common share for a total cost of $45.8 million under its previous repurchase program, which was replaced by its current $750.0 million share repurchase program.
Warrants
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 2,161,803 warrants outstanding, comprised of (i) 432,558 warrants with an exercise price of $75.57 per share that expire on November 19, 2024, (ii) 774,327 warrants with an exercise price of $116.37 per share that expire on September 1, 2024 and (iii) 954,918 warrants with an exercise price of $133.70 per share that expire on September 1, 2025.

16. Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method. The Company has granted RSUs to non-employee directors which include non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered “participating securities.” Accordingly, the Company computes earnings per share under the two-class earnings allocation method, which computes earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed as (i) net income (ii) less distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (iii) divided by the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share amounts have been computed as (i) basic net income attributable to common stockholders (ii) plus the reallocation of distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (iii) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the periods presented. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share under both the two-class method and treasury stock method and reports the more dilutive of the two calculations.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

Overview
Chord Energy Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Chord”, “we”, “us,” or “our”) is an independent exploration and production (“E&P”) company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of crude oil, NGL and natural gas primarily in the Williston Basin. Our mission is to responsibly produce hydrocarbons while exercising capital discipline, operating efficiently, improving continuously and providing a rewarding environment for our employees. We are ideally positioned to enhance return of capital and generate strong free cash flow, while being responsible stewards of the communities and environment where we operate.
Market Conditions and Commodity Prices
Our revenue, profitability and ability to return cash to shareholders depend substantially on factors beyond our control, such as economic, political and regulatory developments as well as competition from other sources of energy. Prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years and may continue to fluctuate widely in the future due to a combination of macro-economic factors that impact the supply and demand for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas.
While we are unable to predict future commodity prices, we do not believe that an impairment of our oil and gas properties is reasonably likely to occur in the near future at current price levels; however, we would evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of our oil and gas properties as a result of a future material or extended decline in the price of crude oil, NGLs or natural gas or a material increase in the costs of labor, materials or services.
In an effort to improve price realizations from the sale of our crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, we manage our commodities marketing activities in-house, which enables us to market and sell our crude oil, NGLs and natural gas to a broader array of potential purchasers. We enter into crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales contracts with purchasers who have access to transportation capacity, utilize derivative financial instruments to manage our commodity price risk and enter into physical delivery contracts to manage our price differentials. Due to the availability of other markets and pipeline connections, we do not believe that the loss of any single customer would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows.
Additionally, we sell a significant amount of our crude oil production through gathering systems connected to multiple pipeline and rail facilities. These gathering systems, which originate at the wellhead, reduce the need to transport barrels by truck from the wellhead, helping remove trucks from local highways and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As of June 30, 2024, substantially all of our gross operated crude oil and natural gas production were connected to gathering systems.
Recent Developments
Enerplus Arrangement
On February 21, 2024, we entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement ”) with Enerplus Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada (“Enerplus”), and Spark Acquisition ULC, an unlimited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to acquire Enerplus in a stock-and-cash transaction (such transaction, the “Arrangement”). Enerplus was an independent North American oil and gas E&P company domiciled in Canada with substantially all of its producing assets in the Williston Basin of North Dakota, with limited non-operated interests in the Marcellus Shale. The Arrangement was completed on May 31, 2024.
Upon completion of the Arrangement on May 31, 2024, we issued 20,680,097 shares of common stock and paid $375.8 million in cash to Enerplus shareholders. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Enerplus shareholders received 0.10125 shares of Chord common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and $1.84 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Enerplus they owned at closing.

Revenues
Our crude oil, NGL and natural gas revenues are derived from the sale of crude oil, NGL and natural gas production. These revenues do not include the effects of derivative instruments and may vary significantly from period to period as a result of changes in volumes of production sold or changes in commodity prices. Our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased due to the Arrangement, which expanded our operations primarily in the Williston Basin. Our purchased oil and gas sales are derived from the sale of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas purchased through our marketing activities primarily to optimize transportation costs, for blending to meet pipeline specifications or to cover production shortfalls. Revenues and expenses from crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales and purchases are generally recorded on a gross basis, as we act as a principal in these transactions by assuming control of the purchased crude oil or natural gas before it is transferred to the counterparty. In certain cases, we enter into sales and purchases with the same counterparty in contemplation of one another, and these transactions are recorded on a net basis.

Three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2024
Crude oil revenues. Our crude oil revenues increased $169.3 million to $848.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $127.0 million of additional crude oil revenues quarter over quarter. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, our crude oil revenues increased $42.3 million due to an increase of $38.7 million driven by higher crude oil realized prices quarter over quarter, coupled with an increase of $3.6 million due to higher crude oil production volumes sold. Average crude oil sales prices, without derivative settlements, increased by $3.57 per barrel quarter over quarter to an average of $78.89 per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in NYMEX WTI.
32

NGL revenues. Our NGL revenues decreased $10.5 million to $36.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement were not material to NGL revenues quarter over quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by a $16.0 million decrease due to lower NGL realized prices, partially offset by a $5.5 million increase due to higher production volumes sold quarter over quarter. Average NGL sales prices, without derivative settlements, decreased by $5.10 per barrel quarter over quarter to an average of $9.99 per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to lower index prices at the Conway hub in Kansas as well as widening differentials.
Natural gas revenues. Our natural gas revenues decreased $4.3 million to $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $6.5 million of additional natural gas revenues quarter over quarter. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, our natural gas revenues decreased $10.8 million primarily due to lower natural gas realized prices quarter over quarter. Average natural gas sales prices, without derivative settlements, decreased by $0.49 per Mcf quarter over quarter to $0.67 per Mcf for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to lower index prices.
Purchased oil and gas sales. Purchased oil and gas sales increased $20.9 million to $358.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the price of crude oil purchased and subsequently sold quarter over quarter.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2023
Crude oil revenues. Our crude oil revenues increased $228.2 million to $1,527.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $127.0 million of additional crude oil revenues period over period. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, our crude oil revenues increased $101.2 million due to higher production volumes sold of $57.5 million coupled with higher crude oil realized prices of $43.7 million. Production volumes period over period increased in part due to the 2023 acquisition of acreage in the Williston Basin. Average crude oil sales prices, without derivative settlements, increased by $2.31 per barrel period over period to an average of $77.26 per barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to an increase in NYMEX WTI.
NGL revenues. Our NGL revenues decreased $6.8 million to $84.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement were not material to NGL revenues period over period. The decrease was primarily due to lower NGL realized prices of $14.0 million, partially offset by higher production volumes sold of $7.2 million period over period. Average NGL sales prices, without derivative settlements, decreased by $2.25 per barrel period over period to an average of $12.33 per barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the impact of incurring a fixed fee for the majority of our NGL marketing contracts beginning in the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher index prices.
Natural gas revenues. Our natural gas revenues decreased $32.2 million to $39.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $6.5 million of additional natural gas revenues period over period. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, our natural gas revenues decreased $38.7 million primarily due to lower natural gas realized prices period over period. Average natural gas sales prices, without derivative settlements, decreased by $0.94 per Mcf period over period to $0.87 per Mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the impact of incurring a fixed fee for the majority of our natural gas marketing contracts beginning in the second quarter of 2023, coupled with lower index prices.
Purchased oil and gas sales. Purchased oil and gas sales increased $348.1 million to $695.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the volume of crude oil purchased and subsequently sold period over period.

Three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to three months ended March 31, 2024
Lease operating expenses. LOE increased $17.4 million to $176.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $22.9 million of additional LOE quarter over quarter. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, LOE decreased $5.5 million primarily due to lower workover costs quarter over quarter. LOE per Boe decreased $1.02 per Boe quarter over quarter to $9.37 per Boe for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to lower workover costs coupled with higher production volumes quarter over quarter.
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses. GPT expenses increased $9.1 million to $63.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $10.7 million of additional GPT quarter over quarter. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, GPT remained relatively consistent quarter over quarter. GPT expenses per Boe decreased $0.17 per Boe to $3.35 per Boe for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Purchased oil and gas expenses. Purchased oil and gas expenses increased $20.6 million to $356.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 driven by an increase in the price of crude oil purchased and subsequently sold quarter over quarter.
34

Production taxes. Production taxes increased $15.6 million to $79.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $11.1 million of additional production taxes quarter over quarter. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, production taxes increased $4.5 million primarily due to higher crude oil sales quarter over quarter. The production tax rate as a percentage of crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales was 8.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This rate increase quarter over quarter was primarily due to a decrease in natural gas and NGL sales revenues as a result of lower realized prices.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. DD&A expense increased $59.0 million to $227.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $40.4 million of additional DD&A quarter over quarter. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, DD&A expense increased $18.6 million primarily due to a higher depletion rate quarter over quarter. The depletion rate increased $1.21 per Boe quarter over quarter to $11.83 per Boe for the three months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the addition of oil and gas properties acquired in the Arrangement.
General and administrative expenses. G&A expenses increased $56.4 million to $82.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $50.7 million of additional G&A expenses quarter over quarter, including merger-related costs of $46.6 million and other G&A expenses of $4.1 million.
Gain on sale of assets, net. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, we recorded a net gain on sale of assets of $15.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, primarily related to the divestitures of certain non-operated properties within each quarter.
Derivative instruments. We recorded a $4.6 million net gain on derivative instruments for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which was comprised of a net gain of $4.0 million associated with our contracts to manage commodity price risk and an unrealized gain of $0.6 million associated with a contract that includes contingent consideration. The net gain of $4.0 million on commodity derivative contracts included an unrealized gain of $7.9 million related to the change in fair value of our commodity derivative contracts, partially offset by a realized loss of $3.9 million on settled commodity derivative contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $27.6 million net loss on derivative instruments, which was comprised of a net loss of $31.0 million associated with our contracts to manage commodity price risk, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $3.4 million associated with a contract that includes contingent consideration. The net loss of $31.0 million on commodity derivative contracts included an unrealized loss of $29.6 million related to the change in fair value of our commodity derivative contracts and a realized loss of $1.4 million on settled commodity derivative contracts.
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate. We recorded a $5.9 million gain related to our investment in Energy Transfer LP (“Energy Transfer”) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to an unrealized gain of $3.6 million as a result of an increase in the fair value of the investment during the period, coupled with a gain of $2.3 million for a cash distribution received from Energy Transfer during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $16.3 million gain related to our investment in Energy Transfer due to an unrealized gain of $14.0 million as a result of an increase in the fair value of the investment during the period, coupled with a gain of $2.3 million for a cash distribution received from Energy Transfer during the period.
Income tax expense. Our income tax expense was recorded at 26.8% and 22.4% of pre-tax income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to Canadian losses for which no benefit is recognized, coupled with the impacts of equity-based compensation windfalls.
Six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2023
Lease operating expenses. LOE increased $23.9 million to $335.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $22.9 million of additional LOE period over period. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, LOE was relatively consistent period over period. LOE per Boe decreased $0.50 per Boe period over period to $9.83 per Boe for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to higher production volumes.
Gathering, processing and transportation expenses. GPT expenses increased $36.7 million to $117.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $10.7 million of additional GPT period over period. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, GPT increased $26.0 million primarily due to an increased loss attributable to the change in fair value of certain derivative transportation contracts period over period of $24.2 million. GPT expenses per Boe increased $0.77 per Boe period over period to $3.43 per Boe for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the increases described above.

Purchased oil and gas expenses. Purchased oil and gas expenses increased $346.3 million to $692.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in the volume of crude oil purchased and subsequently sold period over period.
Production taxes. Production taxes increased $24.4 million to $143.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $11.0 million of additional production taxes period over period. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, production taxes increased $13.4 million primarily due to an increase in crude oil revenues period over period. The production tax rate as a percentage of crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales increased to 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 8.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This rate increase period over period was primarily due to a decrease in natural gas revenue as a result of lower realized prices.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. DD&A expense increased $126.0 million to $396.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $40.4 million of additional DD&A period over period. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, DD&A expense increased $77.6 million primarily due to an increased depletion rate period over period driven by the addition of oil and gas properties acquired in the Arrangement and the 2023 acquisition of acreage in the Williston Basin coupled with a decrease in reserves as a result of lower commodity prices. DD&A expense increased an additional $8.0 million due to higher production volumes. The depletion rate increased $2.61 per Boe period over period to $11.29 per Boe for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
General and administrative expenses. G&A expenses increased $33.1 million to $107.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Our expanded operations after the Arrangement contributed $66.9 million of additional G&A expense period over period, including merger-related costs of $62.8 million and other G&A expenses of $4.1 million. Excluding the impacts of the Arrangement, G&A expenses decreased $33.8 million primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation costs of $17.0 million due to the vesting of certain equity-based compensation awards in the first half of 2024 as well as higher credits related to billable overhead of $12.7 million.
Exploration and impairment. Exploration and impairment expenses decreased $24.0 million to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded an impairment charge of $3.9 million associated with a lower of cost or net realizable value write down of oil-in-tank inventory, coupled with $3.7 million of exploration expenses. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, exploration and impairment expenses totaled $31.6 million, which was primarily due to impairment expenses of $29.0 million, including $17.5 million associated with the write-down of the right-of-use asset for our Denver office lease acquired in 2022, $5.8 million associated with a lower of cost or net realizable value write down of oil-in-tank inventory and $5.6 million to adjust the carrying value of non-core properties held for sale to their estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Gain on sale of assets, net. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a net gain on sale of assets of $16.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively, primarily related to the divestitures of certain non-operated properties within each period.
Derivative instruments. We recorded a $23.0 million net loss on derivative instruments for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was comprised of a net loss of $27.0 million associated with our contracts to manage commodity price risk, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $4.0 million associated with a contract that includes contingent consideration. The net loss of $27.0 million on commodity derivative contracts included an unrealized loss of $21.7 million related to the change in fair value of our commodity derivative contracts and a realized loss of $5.3 million on settled commodity derivative contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a $96.5 million net gain on derivative instruments, which was primarily due to a net gain of $95.6 million associated with our contracts to manage commodity price risk. This net gain of $95.6 million on commodity derivative contracts included an unrealized gain of $238.7 million related to the change in fair value of our commodity derivative contracts, partially offset by a realized loss of $143.1 million on settled commodity derivative contracts.
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate. We recorded a $22.2 million gain related to our investment in Energy Transfer for the six months ended June 30, 2024, which included an unrealized gain of $17.6 million as a result of an increase in the fair value of the investment during the period, coupled with a gain of $4.6 million for cash distributions received from Energy Transfer during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a gain of $7.9 million related to our investment in Energy Transfer, which included a gain of $6.0 million for cash distributions received from Energy Transfer during the period, coupled with an unrealized gain of $1.1 million as a result of an increase in the fair value of the investment during the period.
Income tax expense. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was recorded at 24.7% of pre-tax income which was materially unchanged compared to 23.9% of pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had $1.1 billion of liquidity available, including $197.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $894.8 million of aggregate unused borrowing capacity available under our Credit Facility (defined below). Our primary sources of liquidity were from cash on hand, cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility. Our primary liquidity requirements were capital expenditures for the development of oil and gas properties, dividend payments, debt repayments, share repurchases, cash consideration and transaction costs associated with the Arrangement, and working capital requirements.
Capital availability will be affected by prevailing conditions in our industry, the global economy, the global banking and financial markets, stakeholder scrutiny of ESG matters and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s increases in interest rates and the potential for such rates to increase further or to remain elevated for an extended period of time have created additional economic uncertainty. Although we are unable to predict future interest rates, this disruption to the broader economy and financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital or result in such capital being available on less favorable terms, which could in the future negatively affect our liquidity. We believe, however, we have adequate liquidity to fund our capital expenditures and meet our contractual obligations during the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.
Our cash flows depend on many factors, including the price of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas and the success of our development and exploration activities as well as future acquisitions. We actively manage our exposure to commodity price fluctuations by executing derivative transactions to mitigate the impact of changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices on our production, which mitigates our exposure to crude oil, NGL and natural gas price declines; however, these transactions may also limit our cash flow in periods of rising crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices.
Enerplus Arrangement. In connection with the consummation of the Arrangement on May 31, 2024, we paid $375.8 million, or $1.84 per Enerplus common share, to Enerplus shareholders. In addition, we paid $395.0 million to settle Enerplus’ revolving bank credit facility balance and $102.4 million to settle all outstanding Enerplus equity-based compensation awards.
In connection with the Arrangement, we incurred certain costs for advisory, legal and other third-party fees which were recorded to G&A expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred merger-related costs of $54.7 million and $62.8 million, respectively, primarily related to legal and advisory services and severance costs.
Commodity derivative contracts. As of June 30, 2024, our commodity derivative contracts cover 4,692 MBbls of our crude oil production for 2024, 5,377 MBbls of our crude oil production and 4,301,600 MMBtu of our natural gas production for 2025 and 1,175 MBbls of our crude oil production for 2026. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” for additional information.
In July 2024, we entered into new commodity derivative contracts to manage risks related to changes in crude oil prices. The following table summarizes these commodity derivative contracts:
Volumes (Bbl)Weighted Average Prices
CommoditySettlement PeriodDerivative InstrumentTotalDailySub-FloorFloorCeiling
Crude oil2024Two-way collars276,000 1,500 $75.00 $79.05

Crude oil2026Three-way collars1,365,000 3,740 $50.00 $65.00 $79.62 
We also have contracts which include provisions for the delivery, transport or purchase of a minimum volume of crude oil, NGLs, natural gas and water within specified time frames, the majority of which are five years or less. Under the terms of these contracts, if we fail to deliver, transport or purchase the committed volumes we will be required to pay a deficiency payment for the volumes not tendered over the duration of the contract. We believe that for the substantial majority of these agreements our future production will be adequate to meet our delivery commitments or that we will be able to purchase sufficient volumes of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas from third parties to satisfy our minimum volume commitments. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information on our volume delivery commitments.
37

Our material cash requirements from known obligations include repayment of outstanding borrowings and interest payment obligations related to our long-term debt, obligations to plug, abandon and remediate our oil and gas properties at the end of their productive lives, payment of income taxes, obligations associated with outstanding commodity derivative contracts that settle in a loss position, obligations to pay dividends on vested equity awards that include dividend equivalent rights and obligations associated with our leases. In addition, we have announced a return of capital plan pursuant to which we intend to return capital to stockholders through a mix of base and variable dividend payouts, supplemented by opportunistic share repurchases. On a quarterly basis, we pay a commitment fee on the average amount of borrowing base capacity not utilized during the quarter and fees calculated on the average amount of letter of credit balances outstanding during the quarter.
Revolving credit facility. We have a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a borrowing base of $3.0 billion and elected commitments of $1.5 billion that is due July 1, 2027. As of June 30, 2024, we had $575.0 million borrowings outstanding and $30.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $894.8 million. Additionally, we are permitted to incur term loans in addition to the revolving loans provided under the Credit Facility. We were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 11—Long-Term Debt” for additional information.
Senior unsecured notes. As of June 30, 2024, we had $400.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes outstanding (the “Senior Notes”) that mature on June 1, 2026. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 11—Long-Term Debt” for additional information.
Enerplus senior unsecured notes. In connection with the Arrangement on May 31, 2024, we assumed $63.0 million of 3.79% senior unsecured notes from Enerplus with a fair value of $60.1 million (the “Enerplus Senior Notes”). On July 2, 2024, we repaid all of the remaining outstanding Enerplus Senior Notes and $0.8 million of accrued interest on such notes.

Decrease in cash and cash equivalents$(120,609)$(378,364)
Cash flows provided by operating activities
Our net cash flows from operating activities are primarily impacted by commodity prices, production volumes, operating costs and G&A expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities was $867.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $9.5 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to increases in merger-related costs, production taxes and LOE as well as changes in our working capital, partially offset by an increase in oil revenues. See “Results of Operations” above for additional information.
Working Capital. Our working capital is primarily impacted by the factors discussed above, coupled with the timing of cash receipts and disbursements. Changes in working capital (as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows) decreased net cash flows from operating activities by $18.1 million and $2.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Changes in working capital associated with our capital expenditure activities and settlement of outstanding commodity derivative instruments impact our cash flows from investing activities.
The Credit Facility includes a requirement that we maintain a Current Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no less than 1.0 to 1.0 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. For purposes of the Current Ratio, the Credit Facility’s definition of total current assets includes unused commitments under the Credit Facility, which were $894.8 million as of June 30, 2024, and excludes current hedge assets, which were $25.3 million as of June 30, 2024. For purposes of the Current Ratio, the Credit Facility’s definition of total current liabilities excludes current hedge liabilities, which were $13.9 million as of June 30, 2024.
38

Cash flows used in investing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in investing activities of $1,150.6 million was primarily attributable to the Arrangement, including $395.0 million paid to settle Enerplus’ revolving bank credit facility balance, $375.8 million paid to Enerplus shareholders and $102.4 million paid to settle Enerplus’ equity awards, partially offset by cash acquired in the Arrangement of $239.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 also included capital expenditures of $538.7 million incurred to develop our oil and gas properties, partially offset by the receipt of the 2023 contingent consideration earn-out payment of $25.0 million and proceeds from divestitures of $20.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $858.3 million was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $407.8 million, $361.6 million paid for the 2023 acquisition of acreage in the Williston Basin and $154.1 million associated with the settlement of derivative contracts.
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities of $162.4 million was primarily attributable to borrowings under the credit facility of $575.0 million, net of repayments of $250.0 million, in connection with the Arrangement and proceeds of $21.0 million from the exercise of outstanding warrants, partially offset by dividends paid to shareholders of $281.7 million, payments of $93.7 million to repurchase our common stock and income tax withholding on vested equity-based compensation awards of $57.4 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 of $397.1 million was primarily attributable to dividends paid to shareholders of $337.7 million, payments of $45.8 million to repurchase our common stock and payments of $13.6 million for income tax withholdings on vested equity-based compensation awards.
Capital Expenditures
Expenditures for the acquisition and development of oil and gas properties are the primary use of our capital resources. Our capital expenditures are summarized in the following table:

Dividends
On August 7, 2024, we declared a base-plus-variable cash dividend of $2.52 per share of common stock. The dividend will be payable on September 5, 2024 to shareholders of record as of August 21, 2024. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 15—Stockholders’ Equity” for additional information.
See “Part II. Item 7.—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Return of Capital Plan” in our 2023 Annual Report for additional information regarding our strategy on future dividend payments. Future dividend payments will depend on the Company’s earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applicable to the payment of dividends and other considerations that the Board of Directors deems relevant.
39

Share Repurchase Program
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 558,579 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $164.23 per common share for a total cost of $91.7 million, under our $750 million share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024, there was $591.3 million of capacity remaining under our $750 million share repurchase program.
We repurchased 319,458 shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023 under the previous share repurchase program, which was replaced by our current $750 million share repurchase program.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 5—Fair Value Measurements” for additional information on our derivative instruments and their related fair value measurements. See also “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” below.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report, except as follows.
Business combinations. We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, we recognize amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed equal to their estimated acquisition date fair values. Transaction and integration costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.
We make various assumptions in estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As fair value is a market-based measurement, it is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use. The most significant assumptions in the Arrangement relate to the estimated fair values of proved and unproved oil and natural gas properties. The fair values of these properties are measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation include estimates of reserves, future operating and development costs, future commodity prices and a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. The market-based weighted average cost of capital rate is subjected to additional project-specific risking factors. In addition, when appropriate, we review comparable purchases and sales of crude oil, NGL and natural gas properties within the same regions, and use that data as a proxy for fair market value; for example, the amount a willing buyer and seller would enter into in exchange for such properties. Different techniques may be used to determine fair values, including market prices (where available), comparisons to transactions for similar assets and liabilities and present values of estimated future cash flows, among others. Since these estimates involve the use of significant judgment, they can change as new information becomes available.
Any excess of the acquisition price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and is subject to ongoing impairment evaluation as described in Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Goodwill. Any excess of the estimated fair value of net assets acquired over the acquisition price is recorded in current earnings as a gain on bargain purchase. Deferred taxes are recorded for any differences between the assigned values and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Estimated deferred taxes are based on available information concerning the tax basis of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and loss carryforwards at the acquisition date, although such estimates may change in the future as additional information becomes known.

Item 3. — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including commodity price risk, interest rate risk, counterparty and customer risk and inflation risk. We address these risks through a program of risk management, including the use of derivative instruments.
The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risk. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures. All of our market risk derivative instruments were entered into for hedging purposes, rather than for speculative trading. The following market risk disclosures should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our 2023 Annual Report, as well as with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Commodity price exposure risk. We are exposed to market risk as the prices of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including changes in supply and demand and the macroeconomic environment, all of which are typically beyond our control. The markets for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas have been volatile, especially over the last several years, and these prices will likely continue to be volatile in the future. To partially reduce price risk caused by these market fluctuations, we have entered into derivative instruments in the past and expect to enter into derivative instruments in the future to cover a portion of our future production. In addition, entering into derivative instruments could limit the benefit we would receive from increases in the prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. We recognize all derivative instruments at fair value. The credit standing of our counterparties is analyzed and factored into the fair value amounts recognized on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Derivative assets and liabilities arising from our derivative contracts with the same counterparty are also reported on a net basis, as all counterparty contracts provide for net settlement. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 5—Fair Value Measurements” and “Note 6—Derivative Instruments” for additional information regarding our derivative instruments.
The fair value of our unrealized crude oil derivative positions at June 30, 2024 was a net liability position of $15.0 million. A 10% increase in crude oil prices would increase the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $53.2 million, while a 10% decrease in crude oil prices would decrease the fair value of this unrealized derivative liability position by approximately $45.4 million. The fair value of our unrealized natural gas derivative positions at June 30, 2024 was a net asset position of $1.2 million. A 10% increase in natural gas prices would decrease the fair value of this unrealized derivative asset position by approximately $1.4 million, while a 10% decrease in natural gas prices would increase the fair value of this unrealized derivative asset position by approximately $1.4 million. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Market Conditions and Commodity Prices,” for further discussion on the commodity price environment. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 6—Derivative Instruments” for additional information regarding our derivative instruments.
In addition, in connection with the 2021 divestiture of oil and gas properties in the Texas region of in the Permian Basin, we are entitled to receive up to three earn-out payments of $25.0 million per year for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 if the average daily settlement price of NYMEX WTI crude oil exceeds $60 per barrel for such year. If the NYMEX WTI crude oil price for calendar year 2023 or 2024 is less than $45 per barrel, then each calendar year thereafter our right to receive any remaining earn-out payments is terminated. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of this contingent consideration was $46.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we received $25.0 million related to the 2023 earn-out payment. See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 6—Derivative Instruments” for additional information.
Interest rate risk. At June 30, 2024, we had $400.0 million of senior unsecured notes at a fixed interest rate of 6.375% per annum and $63.0 million of senior unsecured notes at a fixed interest rate of 3.79% per annum. At June 30, 2024, we had $575.0 million borrowings and $30.2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to varying rates of interest based on (i) the total outstanding borrowings (including the value of all outstanding letters of credit) in relation to the borrowing base and (ii) whether the loan is a Term SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan (each as defined in the Credit Facility). See “Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 11—Long-Term Debt” for additional information on the interest incurred on the Credit Facility.
We do not currently, but may in the future, utilize interest rate derivatives to mitigate interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce interest rate expense related to debt issued under the Credit Facility. Interest rate derivatives would be used solely to modify interest rate exposure and not to modify the overall leverage of the debt portfolio.
41

Counterparty and customer credit risk. Joint interest receivables arise from billing entities which own partial interest in the wells we operate. These entities participate in our wells primarily based on their ownership in leases on which we choose to drill. We have limited ability to control participation in our wells. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our credit losses on joint interest receivables were immaterial. We are also subject to credit risk due to the concentration of our crude oil, NGL and natural gas receivables with several significant customers. The inability or failure of our significant customers to meet their obligations to us, or their insolvency or liquidation, may adversely affect our financial position and related financial results.
We monitor our exposure to counterparties on crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales primarily by reviewing credit ratings, financial statements and payment history. We extend credit terms based on our evaluation of each counterparty’s credit worthiness. We have not generally required our counterparties to provide collateral to secure crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales receivables owed to us. Historically, our credit losses on crude oil, NGL and natural gas sales receivables have been immaterial.
In addition, our crude oil and natural gas derivative arrangements expose us to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. However, in order to mitigate the risk of nonperformance, we only enter into derivative contracts with counterparties that are high credit-quality financial institutions. All of the counterparties on our derivative instruments currently in place are lenders under the Credit Facility with investment grade ratings. We are likely to enter into any future derivative instruments with these or other lenders under the Credit Facility, which also carry investment grade ratings. This risk is also managed by spreading our derivative exposure across several institutions and limiting the volumes placed under individual contracts. Furthermore, the agreements with each of the counterparties on our derivative instruments contain netting provisions. As a result of these netting provisions, our maximum amount of loss due to credit risk is limited to the net amounts due to and from the counterparties under the derivative contracts.
Item 4. — Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our principal executive officer, and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2024. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.
On May 31, 2024, we completed the Arrangement. Management’s assessment and conclusion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024 excludes an assessment of the internal control over financial reporting of Enerplus.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
On May 31, 2024, we completed the Arrangement. As part of the ongoing integration, we are in the process of incorporating the controls and related procedures of Enerplus. Other than incorporating Enerplus’ controls, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. — Legal Proceedings
See “Part I, Item 1. — Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies,” which is incorporated herein by reference, for a discussion of material legal proceedings.
Item 1A. — Risk Factors
Our business faces many risks. Any of the risks discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our other SEC filings could have a material impact on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations.
For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those described in our 2023 Annual Report, except as described below.
The SEC’s Final Rules on The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures could result in increased compliance risks and costs.
The SEC released its final rule on climate-related disclosures on March 6, 2024, requiring the disclosure of certain climate-related risks, management and governance practices, and financial impacts, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Large accelerated filers will be required to incorporate the applicable climate-related disclosures into their filings beginning in fiscal year 2025, with additional requirements relating to the disclosure of Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, if material, and attestation reports for certain large accelerated filers subsequently phasing in. Refer to “Item 1. Business—Regulation—Environmental and occupational health and safety regulation” in our 2023 Annual Report for prior discussion of the SEC’s then-proposed rule. While we are still assessing our obligations under the rule, complying with such obligations may result in increased costs and SEC or investor scrutiny of our disclosures. The SEC has paused implementation of the final rule pending the resolution of consolidated legal challenges that are currently proceeding before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The outcome of this litigation may reduce or expand our obligations under the final rule.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Chord Energy Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Chord”) is an independent exploration and production company with quality and sustainable long-lived assets primarily located in the Williston Basin.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 is derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, have been included. Management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report”).
Enerplus Arrangement
On February 21, 2024, the Company entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Enerplus Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada (“Enerplus”), and Spark Acquisition ULC, an unlimited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to acquire Enerplus in a stock-and-cash transaction (such transaction, the “Arrangement”). Enerplus was an independent North American oil and gas exploration and production company domiciled in Canada with substantially all of its producing assets in the Williston Basin of North Dakota, with limited non-operated interests in the Marcellus Shale. The transaction was effected by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Arrangement was completed on May 31, 2024.
In connection with the Arrangement, the Board of Directors of Chord unanimously (i) determined the issuance of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Chord (the “Chord Stock Issuance”), and the amendment of Chord’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 120,000,000 to 240,000,000 shares of common stock (the “Chord Charter Amendment”) are fair to, and in the best interests of, Chord and the holders of common stock, (ii) approved and declared advisable the Chord Stock Issuance and Chord Charter Amendment and (iii) recommended that the holders of common stock approve the Chord Stock Issuance and Chord Charter Amendment.
Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Enerplus shareholders received 0.10125 shares of Chord common stock (the “Share Consideration”) and $1.84 per share in cash (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Share Consideration, the “Arrangement Consideration”) in exchange for each share of Enerplus they owned at closing.
The Arrangement has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Chord was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Enerplus have been recorded at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date on May 31, 2024. As provided under ASC 805, the purchase price allocation may be subject to change for up to one year after May 31, 2024. See Note 8—Acquisitions for additional information.
Risks and Uncertainties
As a producer of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, which are dependent upon numerous factors beyond its control such as economic, geopolitical, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. The energy markets have historically been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that the prices for crude oil, NGLs or natural gas will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in prices for crude oil and, to a lesser extent, NGLs and natural gas, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, the quantities of crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves that may be economically produced and the Company’s access to capital.
Significant Accounting Policies
Goodwill. In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but rather is tested by the Company for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may have been reduced below its carrying value. If the Company’s qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative impairment test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for that excess amount. Any such charge will not affect the Company’s cash flow from operating activities or liquidity.
Other than the item disclosed above, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). This standard clarifies that single reportable segment entities are subject to the disclosure requirements under Topic 280 in its entirety. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s annual financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically relating to the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures on income taxes paid. The Company expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2025, and the adoption is not expected to affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations, but will result in additional disclosures.
In March 2024, the SEC released its final rule on climate-related disclosures, requiring the disclosure of certain climate-related risks, management and governance practices, and financial impacts, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Large accelerated filers will be required to incorporate the applicable climate-related disclosures into their filings for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with additional requirements relating to greenhouse gas emissions effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2026. In April 2024, the SEC paused implementation of the final rule pending the resolution of consolidated legal challenges that are currently proceeding before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this rule on its financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company records revenue when the performance obligations under the terms of its customer contracts are satisfied. For sales of commodities, the Company records revenue in the month the production or purchased product is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements and payments are typically not received for 20 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production that was delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. The Company uses knowledge of its properties, its properties’ historical performance, spot market prices and other factors as the basis for these estimates. The Company records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales once payment is received from the purchaser. In certain cases, the Company is required to estimate these volumes during a reporting period and record any differences between the estimated volumes and actual volumes in the following reporting period. Differences between estimated and actual revenues have historically not been significant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

The Company’s financial instruments, including certain cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other payables, are carried at cost, which approximates their respective fair market values due to their short-term maturities. The Company recognizes its non-financial assets and liabilities, such as ARO and properties acquired in a business combination or upon impairment, at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Commodity derivative contracts. The Company enters into commodity derivative contracts to manage risks related to changes in crude oil, NGL and natural gas prices. The Company’s swaps, collars and basis swaps are valued by a third-party preparer based on an income approach. The significant inputs used are commodity prices, discount rate and the contract terms of the derivative instruments. These assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the contract, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace and are therefore designated as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company recorded a credit risk adjustment to reduce the fair value of its net derivative liability for these contracts by $0.4 million and $0.5 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. See Note 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Transportation derivative contracts. The Company had buy/sell transportation contracts that were derivative contracts for which the Company had not elected the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion under FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These transportation derivative contracts were valued by a third-party preparer based on an income approach. The significant inputs used were quoted forward prices for commodities, market differentials for crude oil and either the Company’s or the counterparty’s nonperformance risk, as appropriate. The assumptions used in the valuation of these contracts included certain market differential metrics that were unobservable during the term of the contracts. Such unobservable inputs were significant to the contract valuation methodology, and the contracts’ fair values were therefore designated as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the terms of these contracts expired. See Note 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Contingent consideration. In June 2021, the Company completed the divestiture of oil and gas properties in the Texas region of the Permian Basin. In connection with the divestiture, the Company is entitled to receive up to three earn-out payments of $25.0 million per year for each of 2023, 2024 and 2025 if the average daily settlement price of NYMEX WTI exceeds $60 per barrel for such year (the “Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration”). If NYMEX WTI for calendar year 2023 or 2024 is less than $45 per barrel, then each calendar year thereafter the buyer’s obligation to make any remaining earn-out payments is terminated. The fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration is determined by a third-party preparer using a Monte Carlo simulation model and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck pricing process. The significant inputs used are NYMEX WTI forward price curve, volatility, mean reversion rate and counterparty credit risk adjustment. The Company determined these were Level 2 fair value inputs that are substantially observable in active markets or can be derived from observable data. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received $25.0 million related to the 2023 earn-out payment. See Note 6—Derivative Instruments for additional information.
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The Company owns common units in Energy Transfer LP (“Energy Transfer”) which are accounted for using the fair value option under FASB ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments. The fair value of the Company’s investment in Energy Transfer was determined using Level 1 inputs based upon the quoted market price of Energy Transfer’s publicly traded common units at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. See Note 10—Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate for additional information.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities
The fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are determined using valuation techniques that include Level 3 inputs.
Asset retirement obligations. The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred. Fair value is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows related to the liability. Estimating the future ARO requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding the timing and existence of a liability, as well as what constitutes adequate restoration when considering current regulatory requirements. Inherent in the fair value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments, including the ultimate costs, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, environmental and regulatory environments.
Oil and gas and other properties. The Company records its properties at fair value when acquired in a business combination or upon impairment for proved oil and gas properties and other properties. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. The inputs used are subject to management’s judgment and expertise and include, but are not limited to, future production volumes based upon estimates of proved reserves, future commodity prices (adjusted for basis differentials), estimates of future operating and development costs and a risk-adjusted discount rate.
Enerplus Arrangement. On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the Arrangement with Enerplus. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of May 31, 2024. The fair value of Enerplus’ oil and gas properties was calculated using an income approach based on the net discounted future cash flows from the producing properties and related assets. The inputs utilized in the valuation of the oil and gas properties and related assets acquired included mostly unobservable inputs which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such inputs included estimates of future oil and gas production from the properties’ reserve reports, forecasted commodity prices (adjusted for basis differentials), operating and development costs, expected future development plans for the properties and the utilization of a discount rate based on a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. The Company also recorded ARO assumed from Enerplus at fair value. The inputs utilized in valuing the assumed ARO were mostly Level 3 unobservable inputs, including estimated economic lives of oil and natural gas wells as of May 31, 2024, anticipated future plugging and abandonment costs and an appropriate credit-adjusted risk-free rate to discount such costs. In addition, the Company recorded goodwill as a result of the Enerplus Arrangement. Goodwill is subject to ongoing impairment evaluation as described in Note 1—Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Goodwill. See Note 8—Acquisitions for additional information.
2023 Williston Basin Acquisition. On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition (defined in Note 8—Acquisitions). The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as of June 30, 2023. The fair value of the oil and gas properties acquired was calculated using an income approach based on the net discounted future cash flows from the oil and gas properties. The inputs utilized in the valuation of the oil and gas properties acquired included mostly unobservable inputs which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such inputs included estimates of future oil and gas production from the properties’ reserve reports, commodity prices based on forward strip price curves (adjusted for basis differentials), operating and development costs, expected future development plans for the properties and the utilization of a discount rate based on a market-based weighted-average cost of capital. The Company also recorded the ARO assumed from the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition at fair value. The inputs utilized in valuing the ARO were mostly Level 3 unobservable inputs, including estimated economic lives of oil and natural gas wells as of June 30, 2023, anticipated future plugging and abandonment costs and an appropriate credit-adjusted risk-free rate to discount such costs. See Note 8—Acquisitions for additional information.

Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments
Commodity derivative contracts. The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to manage risks related to changes in commodity prices. The Company’s crude oil contracts settle monthly based on the average NYMEX WTI crude index price and its natural gas contracts settle monthly based on the average NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas index price.
The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments including fixed-price swaps and two-way and three-way collars to manage risks related to changes in commodity prices. The Company’s fixed-price swaps are designed to establish a fixed price for the volumes under contract. Two-way collars are designed to establish a minimum price (floor) and a maximum price (ceiling) for the volumes under contract. Three-way collars are designed to establish a minimum price (floor), unless the market price falls below the sold put (sub-floor), at which point the minimum price would be the index price plus the difference between the purchased put and the sold put strike price. The sold call establishes a maximum price (ceiling) for the volumes under contract. The Company may, from time to time, restructure existing derivative contracts or enter into new transactions to effectively modify the terms of current contracts in order to improve the pricing parameters in existing contracts.
At June 30, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding commodity derivative contracts:

Transportation derivative contracts. The Company had contracts that provided for the transportation of crude oil through a buy/sell structure from North Dakota to either Cushing, Oklahoma or Guernsey, Wyoming. The contracts had required the purchase and sale of fixed volumes of crude oil through July 2024 as specified in the agreements. The Company determined that these contracts qualified as derivatives and did not elect the “normal purchase normal sale” exclusion. As of June 30, 2024, the terms of both of these contracts expired. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the remaining contract was a $5.9 million asset, which was classified as a current derivative asset on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recorded the changes in fair value of these contracts to GPT expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Settlements on these contracts are reflected as operating activities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and represent cash payments to the counterparties for transportation of crude oil or the net settlement of contract liabilities if the transportation was not utilized, as applicable. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Contingent consideration. The Company bifurcated the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration from the host contract and accounted for it separately at fair value. The Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration is marked-to-market each reporting period, with changes in fair value recorded in the other income (expense) section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a net gain or loss on derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration was $46.7 million, of which $24.2 million was classified as a current derivative asset and $22.5 million was classified as a non-current derivative asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Permian Basin Sale Contingent Consideration was $42.7 million, of which $22.6 million was classified as a current derivative asset and $20.1 million was classified as a non-current derivative asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.

In accordance with the FASB’s authoritative guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities, the Company is required to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. The Company’s derivative instruments are presented as assets and liabilities on a net basis by counterparty, as all counterparty contracts provide for net settlement. No margin or collateral balances are deposited with counterparties, and as such, gross amounts are offset to determine the net amounts presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2024 Acquisition
On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the Arrangement with Enerplus and issued 20,680,097 shares of common stock and paid $375.8 million of cash to Enerplus shareholders. Also on May 31, 2024, and pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Company (i) paid cash to settle Enerplus equity-based compensation awards, (ii) paid cash to satisfy and discharge in full the Enerplus credit facility and (iii) paid a cash retention bonus to Enerplus employees.
Preliminary purchase price allocation. The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Arrangement at their estimated fair value on May 31, 2024 of $4.1 billion. Goodwill recognized as a result of the Arrangement totaled $539.8 million, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes. The assignment of goodwill to reporting units was not complete as of June 30, 2024. Goodwill is primarily attributable to additional operational and financial synergies expected to be realized from the combined operations. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Enerplus requires judgement and certain assumptions to be made. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
The tables below present the total consideration transferred and its preliminary allocation to the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting goodwill as of the acquisition date of May 31, 2024. As provided under ASC 805, the purchase price allocation may be subject to change for up to one year after May 31, 2024, which may result in a different allocation than that presented in the tables below. Certain estimated values for the acquisition, including oil and natural gas properties, intangibles and inventory, are not yet finalized and are subject to revision as additional information becomes available and more detailed analyses are completed.

2023 Acquisition
On May 22, 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire approximately 62,000 net acres in the Williston Basin from XTO Energy Inc. and affiliates, each a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation (collectively “XTO”), for total cash consideration of $375.0 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments (the “2023 Williston Basin Acquisition”). The effective date of the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition was April 1, 2023.
On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition for total cash consideration of $361.6 million, including a deposit of $37.5 million paid to XTO upon execution of the purchase and sale agreement and $324.1 million paid to XTO at closing (including customary purchase price adjustments). The Company funded the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition with cash on hand. The 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and was recorded under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The post-acquisition operating results and pro forma revenue and earnings for the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition were not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and have therefore not been presented.
Purchase price allocation. The Company recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition at their estimated fair value on June 30, 2023 of $361.6 million. The allocation of the fair value to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in no goodwill or bargain purchase gain being recognized. Determining the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the 2023 Williston Basin Acquisition required judgement and certain assumptions to be made. See Note 5—Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
The table below presents the total consideration transferred and its allocation to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date on June 30, 2023. As provided under ASC 805, the purchase price allocation may be subject to change for up to one year after June 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the purchase price was finalized with an immaterial adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocation presented below.

Senior secured revolving line of credit. The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) among Oasis Petroleum North America LLC, the Company, Chord Energy LLC, the other guarantors party thereto, each of the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and issuing bank. The Credit Facility matures on July 1, 2027.
On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment, among other things, increases the borrowing base to $3.0 billion and increases the aggregate amount of elected commitments to $1.5 billion. The foregoing description of the Fifth Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Fifth Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The next scheduled redetermination is expected to occur in or around October 2024.
At June 30, 2024, the Company had $575.0 million borrowings outstanding and $30.2 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $894.8 million. At December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and $8.9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility, resulting in an unused borrowing capacity of $991.1 million.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate incurred on borrowings on the Credit Facility was 7.53% for both periods. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred no borrowings on the Credit Facility, resulting in a weighted average interest rate of 0.00%. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under the Credit Facility at June 30, 2024. The fair value of the Credit Facility approximates its carrying value since borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at variable rates, which are tied to current market rates.
Borrowings are subject to varying rates of interest based on (i) the total outstanding borrowings (including the value of all outstanding letters of credit) in relation to the borrowing base and (ii) whether the loan is a Term SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan (each as defined in the Credit Facility). The Company incurs interest on outstanding loans at their respective interest rate plus a margin rate ranging between 1.75% to 2.75% for Term SOFR Loans and 0.75% to 1.75% for ABR Loans. In addition, Term SOFR Loans are also subject to a 0.1% credit spread adjustment. The unused borrowing base is subject to a commitment fee ranging between 0.375% to 0.500%.
Senior unsecured notes. At June 30, 2024, the Company had $400.0 million of 6.375% senior unsecured notes outstanding due June 1, 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Senior Notes, which are publicly traded among qualified institutional investors and represent a Level 1 fair value measurement, was $399.9 million and $400.0 million, respectively.
Enerplus credit facility. Upon consummation of the Arrangement on May 31, 2024, the Enerplus credit facility was terminated, and the Company paid the remaining outstanding amount of $395.0 million to fully satisfy all such outstanding obligations that were owed under the Enerplus credit facility.
Enerplus senior unsecured notes. Upon consummation of the Arrangement on May 31, 2024, the Company assumed $63.0 million of 3.79% senior unsecured notes from Enerplus (the “Enerplus Senior Notes”). The Enerplus Senior Notes are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value acquired of $60.1 million. The fair value of the Enerplus Senior Notes, which represent a Level 2 fair value measurement, was $60.3 million at June 30, 2024, and was estimated based on the amount that the Company would have to pay a third party to assume the debt, including the credit spread for the difference between the issue rate and the period end market rate. The period end market rate is estimated by comparing the debt to new issuances (secured or unsecured) and secondary trades of similar size and credit statistics for both public and private debt. On July 2, 2024, the Company repaid all of the remaining outstanding Enerplus Senior Notes of $63.0 million and the remaining accrued interest on such notes of $0.8 million.

Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.8% and 24.7% of pre-tax income, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to an effective tax rate of 24.4% and 23.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of the impact of state income taxes and Canadian losses for which no benefit is recognized. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of state income taxes.
The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 were higher than the statutory federal rate of 21% primarily as a result of state income taxes.
On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the Arrangement, and as a result recognized a net deferred tax liability of $1.2 billion in its purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date primarily to reflect the difference between the tax basis and the fair value of Enerplus’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company did not record a Canadian deferred tax asset due to the lack of continued operations in Canada going forward.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Equity-Based Compensation Equity-Based Compensation
The Company has previously granted RSUs, PSUs and LSUs (each as defined below), as well as phantom unit awards under its equity compensation plans.
Equity-based compensation expenses are recognized in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $5.4 million and $10.1 million, respectively, in equity-based compensation expenses related to equity-classified awards. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $15.3 million and $27.2 million, respectively, in equity-based compensation expenses related to equity-classified awards. Equity-based compensation expenses related to liability-classified awards were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, at the effective time of the Arrangement, all Enerplus equity-based compensation awards became fully vested and paid in cash. The fair value of the equity-classified awards that vested on May 31, 2024 was $102.4 million.
Restricted stock units. Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are contingent shares that generally vest on either a cliff or graded basis over a one-year, three-year or four-year period (as applicable) and are subject to a service condition. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 139,578 RSUs to employees and non-employee directors of the Company with a weighted average grant date fair value of $165.85 per share.
Performance share units. Performance share units (“PSUs”) that were granted prior to 2024 are contingent shares that vest on a graded basis over a three-year and four-year period and are subject to a service condition.
2024 Performance share units. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued PSUs that include (i) total stockholder return (“TSR”) PSUs (“Absolute TSR PSUs”) and (ii) relative TSR PSUs (“Relative TSR PSUs” and collectively with the Absolute TSR PSUs, the “2024 PSUs”), which are eligible to vest and become earned at the end of the applicable performance period on December 31, 2026, subject to the level of achievement with respect to certain performance goals.
The Absolute TSR PSUs are subject to time-based service requirements and market conditions based on the TSR achieved by the Company during the performance period. Depending on the Company’s TSR, award recipients may earn between 0% and 300% of the target number of Absolute TSR PSUs originally granted.
The Relative TSR PSUs are subject to time-based service requirements and market conditions based on a comparison of the TSR achieved by the Company against the TSR achieved by the members of a defined peer group at the end of the performance period. Depending on the Company’s TSR performance relative to the TSR performance of the members of the defined peer group, award recipients may earn between 0% and 200% of the target number of Relative TSR PSUs originally granted.
Any earned 2024 PSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock for up to 100% of the target number of PSUs subject to each applicable award, with any remaining earned PSUs that exceed the target number of PSUs subject to the award being settled in cash based on the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the applicable payment date. The 2024 PSUs are bifurcated and classified as equity-based and liability-based awards based on the probability of achieving various target performance thresholds.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted (i) 14,677 Absolute TSR PSUs to employees of the Company with a weighted average grant date fair value of $233.19 per share and (ii) 44,033 Relative TSR PSUs to employees of the Company with a weighted average grant date fair value of $198.73 per share.
Fair value assumptions. The aggregate grant date fair value of the 2024 PSUs was determined by a third-party valuation specialist using a Monte Carlo simulation model which uses a probabilistic approach for estimating the fair value of the awards. The key valuation inputs were: (i) the forecast period, (ii) risk-free interest rate, (iii) the yield curve associated with the Company’s credit rating, (iv) implied equity volatility, (v) stock price on the date of grant and, solely for Relative TSR PSUs, (vi) correlation coefficient. The risk-free interest rates are the U.S. Treasury bond rates on the date of grant that correspond to the performance period. Implied equity volatility is derived by solving for an asset volatility and equity volatility based on the leverage of the Company and each of its peers. For the Relative TSR PSUs, the correlation coefficient measures the strength of the linear relationship between and amongst the Company and its peers based on historical stock price data.
The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the grant date fair value and associated equity-based compensation expenses by grant date for the 2024 PSUs:

Leveraged stock units. Leveraged stock units (“LSUs”) are contingent shares granted to certain employees that cliff vest over a three-year and four-year period and are subject to a service condition. No LSUs were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Phantom unit awards. Phantom unit awards represent the right to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock upon vesting and vest on a graded basis over a three-year period and are subject to a service condition. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 10,531 phantom unit awards to employees with a weighted average grant date fair value of $163.75 per share.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method. The Company has granted RSUs to non-employee directors which include non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered “participating securities.” Accordingly, the Company computes earnings per share under the two-class earnings allocation method, which computes earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per share amounts have been computed as (i) net income (ii) less distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (iii) divided by the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share amounts have been computed as (i) basic net income attributable to common stockholders (ii) plus the reallocation of distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (iii) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the periods presented. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share under both the two-class method and treasury stock method and reports the more dilutive of the two calculations.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have not been audited by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, except that the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2023 is derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position, have been included. Management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Annual Report”).
Risks and Uncertainties
Risks and Uncertainties
As a producer of crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, the Company’s revenue, profitability and future growth are substantially dependent upon the prevailing and future prices for crude oil, NGLs and natural gas, which are dependent upon numerous factors beyond its control such as economic, geopolitical, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. The energy markets have historically been very volatile, and there can be no assurance that the prices for crude oil, NGLs or natural gas will not be subject to wide fluctuations in the future. A substantial or extended decline in prices for crude oil and, to a lesser extent, NGLs and natural gas, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows, the quantities of crude oil, NGL and natural gas reserves that may be economically produced and the Company’s access to capital.

Goodwill. In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but rather is tested by the Company for impairment annually in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit may have been reduced below its carrying value. If the Company’s qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company then performs a quantitative impairment test. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for that excess amount. Any such charge will not affect the Company’s cash flow from operating activities or liquidity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). This standard clarifies that single reportable segment entities are subject to the disclosure requirements under Topic 280 in its entirety. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s annual financial statement disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically relating to the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures on income taxes paid. The Company expects to adopt this ASU effective January 1, 2025, and the adoption is not expected to affect the Company’s financial position or results of operations, but will result in additional disclosures.
In March 2024, the SEC released its final rule on climate-related disclosures, requiring the disclosure of certain climate-related risks, management and governance practices, and financial impacts, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Large accelerated filers will be required to incorporate the applicable climate-related disclosures into their filings for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2025, with additional requirements relating to greenhouse gas emissions effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2026. In April 2024, the SEC paused implementation of the final rule pending the resolution of consolidated legal challenges that are currently proceeding before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this rule on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Performance Obligations
The Company records revenue when the performance obligations under the terms of its customer contracts are satisfied. For sales of commodities, the Company records revenue in the month the production or purchased product is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements and payments are typically not received for 20 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production that was delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. The Company uses knowledge of its properties, its properties’ historical performance, spot market prices and other factors as the basis for these estimates. The Company records the differences between estimates and the actual amounts received for product sales once payment is received from the purchaser. In certain cases, the Company is required to estimate these volumes during a reporting period and record any differences between the estimated volumes and actual volumes in the following reporting period. Differences between estimated and actual revenues have historically not been significant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The fair value of the Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are determined using valuation techniques that include Level 3 inputs.
Asset retirement obligations. The initial measurement of ARO at fair value is recorded in the period in which the liability is incurred. Fair value is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future cash flows related to the liability. Estimating the future ARO requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding the timing and existence of a liability, as well as what constitutes adequate restoration when considering current regulatory requirements. Inherent in the fair value calculation are numerous assumptions and judgments, including the ultimate costs, inflation factors, credit-adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, environmental and regulatory environments.
Oil and gas and other properties. The Company records its properties at fair value when acquired in a business combination or upon impairment for proved oil and gas properties and other properties. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model. The inputs used are subject to management’s judgment and expertise and include, but are not limited to, future production volumes based upon estimates of proved reserves, future commodity prices (adjusted for basis differentials), estimates of future operating and development costs and a risk-adjusted discount rate.
