Continental Resources

About

Continental Resources is the world's largest privately held oil and natural gas producer, headquartered in Oklahoma City. The company focuses on unconventional resource development and production across multiple major U.S. basins and international markets, combining technical expertise with operational discipline.

Domestically, Continental operates leading positions in four premier assets: the Bakken in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana; the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma, where it is the largest producer; the Powder River Basin in Wyoming; and the Permian Basin in Texas. Each position represents significant, high-quality unconventional resources developed through advanced drilling and long-term planning.

The company is also advancing its international footprint. Continental is developing its position in Argentina's Vaca Muerta shale play and has entered a joint venture to develop unconventional resources in Turkey's Diyarbakır Basin. As a privately held enterprise with stable ownership, Continental emphasizes best-in-class technical expertise, operational excellence, and financial discipline across all operations.
