Chord Energy 可能是其他勘探与生产公司在最近一轮闪电般的上游并购中试图实现的典型例子。预计在 5 月底完成对 Enerplus 的收购后，威利斯顿将成为威利斯顿最大的生产商，领导层将充分利用其吸收的每一项实践。股东们已经注意到了这一点，该公司的股价正在飙升，预计到年底会有更多上涨空间。

Chord Energy could be the quintessential example of what other E&Ps are trying to achieve in the recent lightning round of upstream M&A. Poised to become the Williston’s largest producer upon completion of its acquisition of Enerplus—expected at the end of May—leadership gears to take the best of every practice it absorbs. Shareholders have taken notice and the firm’s stock price is soaring, with expectations of more upside by year end.

How did a company that didn’t exist in 2021 do it? CEO Danny Brown tells Deon Daugherty, Oil and Gas Investor editor-in-chief, how it all came together and what’s next for the emerging behemoth in the Bakken.
