About Continental Resources
We are an independent crude oil and natural gas company formed in 1967 engaged in the exploration, development, management, and production of crude oil and natural gas and associated products with properties primarily located in four leading basins in the United States – the Bakken field of North Dakota and Montana, the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, the Permian Basin of Texas, and the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. As of December 31, 2025, all of our operations were conducted onshore in the United States. In the first quarter of 2026, we expanded our operations internationally via the acquisition of assets within the Vaca Muerta shale play in Argentina's Neuquén Basin. At the time of this filing, our 2026 activities in Argentina have no production or revenues and represent an immaterial portion of our consolidated assets.
