Whiting Petroleum Corporation Investment Losses

Whiting Petroleum Corporation Investment LossesAccording to the Corporation’s website, Whiting is an independent exploration and production company with an oil focused asset base. They are the top crude oil producer in North Dakota and are located in Colorado. 

Output of oil in the United States has doubled over the past three years, and construction of new pipelines has failed to keep pace with this output.

Any excess gas must be either burned or re-injected into the ground, both of which are costly to the producer.

In the second quarter, oil prices fell 2% while natural gas prices fell 64%. By scaling back production and eliminating over 254 positions, Whiting expects to save $50 million in costs annually.
