Whiting Petroleum Corporation · Denver, CO United States ·(NYSE: WLL)

There's nothing fishy about what Whiting Petroleum is all about. The company engages in oil and natural gas exploration and production activities, mainly in the Gulf Coast, Michigan, and the mid-continent, Permian Basin, and Rocky Mountain regions. In 2008 it reported proved reserves of 180 million barrels of oil and 354.8 billion cu. ft. of natural gas. That year Whiting Petroleum operated 3,337 net productive wells. It sells oil and gas production to end users, marketers, and other purchasers that have access to nearby pipeline facilities.
