Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Chord Energy Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Chord”) is an independent exploration and production (“E&P”) 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, 2024 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, 2024 (“2024 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 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 transaction was effected by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). The Arrangement was completed on May 31, 2024. 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 was subject to change for up to one year after May 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the purchase price allocation was finalized. 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 the Company’s control such as economic, geopolitical, political and regulatory developments and competition from other energy sources. Recent volatility in the energy markets during the second quarter of 2025 has led to a decrease in the price of crude oil as a result of increased production levels by OPEC+, ongoing trade and tariff negotiations between the United States and other governments and retaliatory measures taken by such other governments. Further declines 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. The Company will continue to monitor these developments and evaluate the implications for the recoverability of its oil and gas properties in future interim periods. As a result of a decrease in the price of the Company’s common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2025, which was impacted by declines in crude oil and natural gas prices over that same period, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2025. The impairment test indicated that the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and that there was no remaining implied fair value attributable to goodwill. Based on these results, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $539.3 million within impairment and exploration expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill to zero as of June 30, 2025. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). This standard expands the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically relating to the effective tax rate reconciliation and additional disclosures on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU effective for its annual disclosures beginning after January 1, 2025, and plans to apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the annual disclosures of its consolidated financial statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). This standard requires that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on the Company’s annual financial statement disclosures.
