Company Overview

Viper Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:VNOM) is a mineral and royalty company focused on owning interests in oil and natural gas properties. Rather than drilling and operating wells directly, the company leases its mineral and royalty interests to exploration and production companies and receives a share of the revenue generated from the resulting production.

Viper’s asset portfolio is concentrated in the Permian Basin, including the Midland and Delaware sub-basins in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Its interests provide exposure to oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids produced by wells operated by third-party energy companies.

The company was established as Viper Energy Partners and went public in 2014. It has historically operated as an affiliated company of Diamondback Energy, Inc., which is one of the principal operators of properties associated with Viper’s mineral and royalty interests. Viper’s business model is designed to generate production-linked revenue while limiting the direct capital and operating responsibilities typically associated with owning and managing oil and gas wells.
