Diamondback Energy, Inc.FANG
Energy

Produces crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas through horizontal development of stacked formations in the Permian Basin. Revenue comes from upstream sales and consolidated Viper Energy royalty interests, leaving results concentrated in one region and exposed to commodity prices and regional takeaway capacity.

Develops oil-rich, unconventional reserves across the Midland and Delaware basins, using horizontal drilling to produce crude oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas. Operations center on stacked Permian formations including Spraberry, Wolfcamp, Barnett and Bone Spring, while operating control supports coordinated drilling and completion programs.

Owns and consolidates publicly traded Viper Energy, which collects mineral and royalty income from Permian properties, including wells operated by third parties. The combined business is managed as one upstream segment and remains concentrated in the Permian Basin. Revenue and drilling activity depend on oil and gas prices, while regional takeaway capacity and produced-water disposal rules can constrain realizations and operations.
