    Diamondback Energy, Inc. is a company engaged in hydrocarbon exploration headquartered in Midland, Texas.

    As of December 31, 2020, the company had 1,788 million barrels of oil equivalent (1.094×1010 GJ) of estimated proved reserves, of which 52% was petroleum, 24% was natural gas, and 24% was natural gas liquids. The company's reserves are all in the Permian Basin.[1]

    As of February 2024, it is ranked 400th on the Fortune 500.[2][3]

    History[edit]

    The company began operations in December 2007 with the acquisition of 4,174 net acres in the Permian Basin.[1]

    In October 2012, the company became a public company via an initial public offering, issuing 12,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $17.50 per share.[4][5]

    In March 2017, the company acquired assets from Brigham Resources for $2.55 billion.[6][7]

    In October 2018, the company acquired the assets of Ajax Resources for $1.25 billion.[8][9]

    In November 2018, the company acquired Energen.[10]

    In February 2021, the company acquired leasehold interests and assets from Guidon Resources for $375 million in cash and 10.68 million shares.[11][12]

    In March 2021, the company acquired QEP Resources.[12][13]

    A 2023 Bloomberg news story identified the company, as well as Permian Resources, as major contributors to the increase of flaring gas in the Permian oil field.[14]

    In February 2024, it was reported Diamondback Energy and Endeavor Energy Resources were in final discussions toward a merger that would create an oil-and-gas giant worth more than $50 billion.[15]

    Antitrust lawsuit[edit]

    In January 2024, a class action lawsuit was filed accusing Diamondback, along with seven other US oil and gas producers, of an illegal price-fixing scheme to constrain production of shale oil, allegedly leading to drivers in the US paying more for gasoline than they would have in a competitive market.[16]
