Description: VNOM Viper Energy Ut November 03, 2025

Viper Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VNOM) is a U.S.–based oil and natural gas company that acquires, owns, and exploits mineral and royalty interests, with a strategic focus on oil-weighted basins-most notably the Permian Basin. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Midland, Texas, Viper now operates as a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, leveraging Diamondback’s infrastructure and capital to expand its royalty portfolio.

Key operational metrics (as of Q2 2024) show Viper’s royalty portfolio generated approximately 12 MMboe of net production, a 7 % YoY increase driven by higher acquisition activity in the Midland and Delaware sub-basins. The company’s cash-flow conversion remains strong, with a cash-flow-to-production ratio of roughly $12 per boe, reflecting the low-cost nature of royalty assets. Sector-wide, the Permian’s continued drilling intensity-averaging 1,800 rigs in Q2 2024-supports upward pressure on royalty yields, while the broader oil market’s price elasticity (≈ $2-$3 increase in royalty cash flow per $10 rise in WTI) remains a primary economic driver for VNOM’s earnings.
