About Viper Energy
Viper Energy holds mineral and royalty interests tied to oil and natural gas production across North America, rather than operating wells itself. Its holdings center on land in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale, regions known for substantial hydrocarbon output, and the company is recognized for the scale of its royalty acreage in these areas.
The company generates income by acquiring and developing these mineral positions, allowing it to benefit from production and reserve growth on the acreage it controls. Management of operations falls to its general partner, Viper Energy Partners GP LLC, and the company functions as part of the broader Diamondback Energy family of businesses.
Viper Energy was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Midland, Texas. Its shares trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker VNOM.
