Daniel Brown, president and CEO of Chord Energy, has discussed the company's operations and strategy in several recent appearances. He described Chord as the largest producer in the Williston Basin, with approximately 1.4 million acres and output of around 270,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Brown said the company has adopted longer lateral drilling, including four-mile laterals, to address geologic degradation outside the basin's core, and stated that seven such wells were planned to be producing by the end of 2025. He also mentioned work with the U.S. Department of Energy and an enhanced oil recovery project involving CO2, which he said could extend the basin's economic inventory. Brown has also commented on industry conditions and regulation. He said current market signals indicate demand for immediate oil supply rather than incremental volumes months away, and he expressed skepticism about predictions of declining oil demand, citing global consumption patterns. He described North Dakota's regulatory environment as constructive and said he favors "smart effective regulations" while criticizing prescriptive federal rules that he said stifle innovation. Brown also said larger companies hold advantages in talent, marketing, and supply chains, and he emphasized that Chord's operations are focused exclusively on the Williston Basin.
