In its five-year plan, Continental Resources tripled its production 18 months earlier than expected while also significantly growing its proven reserves, primarily in the oil-heavy Williston Basin.

The best thing is that it's positioning itself nicely for the long term, as it hasn't expanded at any cost. The company has grown a sustainable level while keeping high margins and minimal leverage. Look for Continental to take advantage of its industry-leading leasehold in the Bakken and turn its prized assets into real returns for investors.
