Northern Oil and Gas, Inc. Overview

Pro stress-test →

Northern Oil and Gas is an independent energy company that acquires and develops non-operated oil and natural gas properties across the United States. Operating primarily through minority working and mineral interests in key basins including the Williston Basin, Permian Basin, Uinta Basin, and Appalachian Basin, the company generated $2.1B in revenue and $1.6B in adjusted EBITDA in 2025.

Strategic Profile

Pro stress-test →

NOG differentiates itself as a non-operator with a diversified asset base across four major U.S. hydrocarbon basins, mitigating single-basin risk. The company has demonstrated disciplined capital allocation through both organic production growth (140,064 Boe/d in Q4 2025) and strategic acquisitions, including its recent $480M Utica Shale partnership with Infinity Natural Resources completed February 2026.

Competitive Landscape

Pro stress-test →

NOG operates in the independent E&P sector alongside peers like EQT Corporation (Appalachian focus), Coterra Energy (multi-basin), and Gulfport Energy (Uinta/Permian), but differentiates through its non-operated minority interest model that reduces capital requirements and operational risk versus traditional operators.
