Continental Resources, Inc. (NYSE:CLR) has announced the sale of second international consignment of Bakken crude oil.

The exploration and production company proposes to sell 430,000 barrels of oil for January delivery to international markets. The transaction is expected to take place in Cushing, OK.

This news closely follows the company’s announcement for the sale of 1,005,000 barrels of Bakken crude oil to Atlantic Trading and Marketing, in October. This oil was planned for export to China.

The lifting of the 1977 crude oil export ban in December 2015 helped the industry to pursue energy export, which has grown rapidly since then. Continental Resources believes that stable production of oil in the United States and higher export will drive inventories. The company believes that this will correct the disparity between Brent and WTI prices. Contemporary improved transportation mode for crude will also help to open the international market for Continental Resources' light sweet oil.

About the Company

Continental Resources is a crude-oil concentrated, independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company with operations in the Rocky Mountain, Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast regions of the United States. The company focuses on large new and developing plays where horizontal drilling, advanced fracture stimulation and enhanced recovery technologies provide the means to economically develop and produce oil and natural gas reserves from unconventional formations.

Price Performance

The company’s shares have returned 8.9% as against the industry’s decline of 5% in the past six months.
