Viper Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VNOM) is a large-cap U.S. energy company that owns, acquires, and exploits oil and natural gas properties across North America, with a strategic focus on mineral and royalty interests in the Permian Basin. Originally formed in 2013 as Viper Energy Partners LP, the company converted to a corporate structure under its current name in November 2023. Viper went public in June 2014 and is headquartered in Midland, Texas, operating as a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Inc.
The company sits within the GICS Oil & Gas Exploration & Production sub-industry. As a mineral and royalty interest owner rather than an operator, Viper generally does not bear drilling or operating costs, instead receiving a share of production revenues-a structure that typically offers lower capital intensity and reduced direct exposure to commodity price volatility compared with traditional E&P operators.
- Oil price swings directly drive royalty revenue and cash margins
- Permian drilling activity growth boosts mineral interest volumes
- Accretive mineral rights acquisitions expand core basin acreage
