Named Executive Officers, Footnote For 2023 and 2022, the principal executive officer, or “PEO,” was Nick O’Grady and the non-PEO NEOs (the “Other NEOs”) were Adam Dirlam, President; Chad Allen, Chief Financial Officer; James Evans, Chief Technical Officer; and Erik Romslo, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary. For 2021 and 2020, the PEO was Nick O’Grady and the Other NEOs were Adam Dirlam, President; Chad Allen, Chief Financial Officer; Mike Kelly, Chief Strategy Officer; and Erik Romslo, Chief Legal Officer & Secretary.      
Peer Group Issuers, Footnote Our peer group used for this TSR calculation is the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (the “XOP”), which is the industry index as disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K pursuant to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K. In 2022, the industry index we used for these purposes was the NYSE Arca Oil Index (the “Arca Index”). We made the change to the XOP because we believe it is a more appropriate index for comparison. For purposes of comparison, the values in this column had we continued to use the Arca Index would have been as follows: 2020 - 69.00; 2021 - 89.50; 2022 - 125.98; 2023 - 138.11.

PEO Actually Paid Compensation Amount $ 10,343,854 4,586,132 3,775,304 250,343
Adjustment To PEO Compensation, Footnote We did not report a change in pension value for any of the years reflected in this table. Therefore, a deduction from the Summary Compensation Table (or “SCT”), total related to pension value is not needed in calculating the Compensation Actually Paid amounts reflected in these columns. A reconciliation of Total Compensation from the SCT to Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and our Other NEOs (as an average) for 2023 is shown below:

Non-GAAP Measure Description Our company-selected measure, which is the measure we believe represents the most important financial performance not otherwise presented in the table above that we used to link Compensation Actually Paid to our NEOs for 2023 to our company’s performance, is our Adjusted EBITDA.
