POWER OF ATTORNEY
Know all by these presents, that, for good and valuable consideration, the
sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned
hereby constitutes and appoints each of Bradley J. Holly and Bruce R. DeBoer,
and any of their substitutes, signing singly, the undersigned's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to:
(1)
execute for and on behalf of the undersigned (in accordance with Section 16(a)
of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
thereunder (the "Exchange Act")), in the undersigned's capacity as an officer
and/or director of Whiting Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), any and all Forms 3, 4 and/or 5, and any amendments thereto,
that are necessary or advisable for the undersigned to file under Section 16(a)
(collectively, "Documents");

(2)
do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned that may
be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Documents and
timely file such Documents with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority; and

(3)
take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the foregoing
which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to, in the
best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being understood
that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion.


The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might
or could do if personally present, with full power of substitution or
revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all that each such attorney-in-fact
(or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes) shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and the rights and powers
herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that each attorney-in-fact, in
serving in such capacity at the request of the undersigned, is not assuming,
nor is such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes or the Company
assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply with the Exchange
Act. The undersigned agrees to defend and hold harmless each attorney-in-fact
(and such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes) from and against any
and all loss, damage or liability that such attorney-in-fact may sustain as a
result of any action taken in good faith hereunder.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Documents with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to each
of the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 1st day of August 2019.
Correne S. Loeffler
