Diamondback Energy is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating primarily in the Permian Basin, with a focus on the Midland Basin core and emerging positions in the Barnett and Woodford shales. The company generates revenue through the production and sale of crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, with a business model centered on developing existing leasehold acreage and drilling from a substantial backlog of drilled uncompleted wells (DUCs) that provide operational flexibility. Unit economics are characterized by low break-even costs and multi-well pad development techniques including simul-frac operations that drive down per-foot drilling and completion costs, while the company maintains commodity price hedging programs to manage volatility in oil and natural gas prices. Distribution occurs through multiple pipeline systems, with the company actively reducing exposure to the Waha pricing hub and diversifying to alternative egress solutions including new pipelines and power generation projects. The company's competitive moat derives from its large acreage position in the Permian Basin, operational scale, low-cost development model, and strategic flexibility enabled by its DUC backlog, while customers include oil and natural gas purchasers and, increasingly, data center and hyperscaler operators seeking integrated energy and water solutions. Geographic concentration is primarily in the Permian Basin, particularly the Midland Basin, with emerging development in the Barnett and Woodford formations.
【Permian development acceleration】 Management is pursuing organic growth through increased drilling activity and lateral length extensions in the Midland Basin core while simultaneously developing the Barnett and Woodford formations, with plans to add 25–30 rigs by year-end 2026 and maintain lateral feet completions at the upper end of guidance. The company is targeting meaningful cost reductions through full-scale multi-pad development and extended laterals, particularly in the Barnett where 15,000-foot laterals are expected to drive down per-foot costs. Capital allocation priorities include debt reduction in a higher commodity price environment, with the company maintaining flexibility to adjust drilling and completion activity based on commodity prices and market conditions. Management is actively pursuing non-core asset sales and exploring creative in-basin egress solutions, including power generation projects to serve hyperscaler and data center customers, while working to reduce Waha gas exposure from over 70% to approximately 40% by year-end 2026 through new pipeline capacity.
| Metric | Target | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Oil production | 520,000 bbl/d | FY2026 |
| Lateral feet completed | 12.9 million lateral ft | FY2026 |
| Waha gas exposure | just over 40% | Year-end 2026 |
Oil production (FY2026): “For the full year of 2026, you know, we still expect to be at 12.9 million lateral ft. We expect that to ramp kind of going through the back half of the year.”
Lateral feet completed (FY2026): “For the full year of 2026, you know, we still expect to be at 12.9 million lateral ft.”
Waha gas exposure (Year-end 2026): “by year-end 2026, we expect Waha exposure to be down to just over 40% of gas sales as compared to a little over 70% today”
