Item 4.  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

     On July 12, 2002,  Continental  Resources,  Inc. (the "Company")  dismissed
Arthur  Andersen  LLP  ("Andersen")  as the  Company's  independent  auditor and
appointed Ernst & Young LLP ("Ernst & Young") as its new independent auditor for
the quarter  ended June 30, 2002.  These  actions were approved by the Company's
Board of Directors.

     Andersen's audit reports on the Company's financial  statements for the two
most recent  fiscal  years,  which  ended  December  31, 2000 and 2001,  did not
contain an adverse  opinion or a disclaimer of opinion,  nor were they qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

     During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, which ended December 31,
2000 and 2001, and the subsequent interim period through July 12, 2002:

(1)  there were no disagreements  between the Company and Andersen on any matter
     of accounting principles or practices,  financial statement disclosure,  or
     auditing  scope or  procedure,  which  disagreements,  if not  resolved  to
     Andersen's  satisfaction,  would have caused  Andersen to make reference to
     the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports;

(2)  no reportable  events (as defined in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K)
     occurred; and

(3)  the Company did not consult with Ernst & Young regarding any of the matters
     or events described in Item 304(a) (2) (I) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

     The Company has been  unsuccessful  in its attempts to obtain a letter from
Andersen  stating  Andersen's  agreement  with the  foregoing  disclosures.  The
Company has been advised that Andersen no longer has an  infrastructure in place
to process requests for such letters.


                                    SIGNATURE

     Pursuant to the  requirements  of the  Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
the  Registrant  has duly  caused  this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
