HighPeak Energy, Inc. is an independent exploration and production company focused on crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs) in the Permian Basin, spanning West Texas and Eastern New Mexico. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, the company was formerly known as HPK Energy, LP before rebranding in August 2020, the same month it went public on NASDAQ. As an independent E&P operator, HighPeak is engaged purely in upstream activities-finding, developing, and producing hydrocarbons-without involvement in midstream transportation, refining, or retail fuel sales. The Permian Basin is one of the most prolific and mature oil-producing regions in the United States, known for stacked horizontal pay zones in formations such as the Spraberry, Wolfcamp, and Bone Spring.
- WTI crude price swings drive Permian oil revenue
- Permian Basin production growth lifts total output volumes
