Description: NOG Northern Oil & Gas

Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. (NOG) is an independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation, development, and production of crude oil and natural gas properties in the United States. The company was founded in 2006, is headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and trades on the NYSE as a mid-cap common stock with an April 2007 IPO date.

As an independent exploration and production (E&P) company, Northern Oil and Gas operates exclusively in the upstream segment of the energy value chain, focusing on finding and developing hydrocarbon reserves rather than transportation, refining, or marketing. Independent E&Ps are distinguished from integrated oil majors by their narrower, upstream-only focus, and companies in this sub-industry typically generate revenue tied directly to realized commodity prices for crude oil and natural gas.

Headlines to Watch Out For
  • WTI crude prices swing realized oil revenue
  • Non-op Williston Basin acquisitions expand production volumes
  • Variable dividend scales with commodity prices
