Viper Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VNOM) is a large-cap energy company that owns, acquires, and exploits oil and natural gas properties in North America, with a concentrated focus on mineral and royalty interests in the Permian Basin. The company was founded in 2013, is headquartered in Midland, Texas, and operates as a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy, Inc. It was originally structured as Viper Energy Partners LP before converting to a C-corporation and adopting its current name in November 2023.
Unlike traditional exploration and production companies that drill and operate wells, mineral and royalty interest owners typically receive a share of production revenues or lease bonuses without bearing the costs of drilling, completion, or operations. This structure generally results in a capital-light business model with high margins relative to revenue. The Permian Basin, spanning parts of Texas and New Mexico, is one of the most productive onshore oil fields in the United States and a core area of activity for many U.S. shale producers.
- Oil price rally lifts Permian royalty revenue and margins
- Diamondback drilling pace drives production growth across Viper acreage
- Acquisitions expand mineral acreage footprint across Permian Basin
