The investigation by a law firm concerns, among other things, whether certain Continental Resources officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties and caused damage to the company and its shareholders.

Late last year Lawsuits were filed by mineral owners against several energy companies, including one against Continental Resources, Inc, seeking millions of dollars in damages for what they say are lost royalty payments to mineral owners from natural gas flared by energy companies going back as far as six years. The plaintiffs claim that the North Dakota law limits the flaring of natural gas during the first year of production and after that those companies must apply to the North Dakota Industrial Commission for an exemption and if they fail to do so, they must pay royalties and state taxes. The plaintiffs allege that companies have been in violation of the limits set for the first year and have not sought exemptions.
