"Viper owns mineral and royalty interests, primarily in the Permian Basin. Royalty owners collect a percentage of production revenue from every barrel of oil, cubic foot of natural gas, and barrel of natural gas liquids produced on their acreage without bearing drilling costs or capital expenditures."
"In Q2 2025, oil income contributed $241 million, natural gas liquids added $36 million, and natural gas contributed $10 million. Oil dominates today, but natural gas is gaining relevance as LNG export infrastructure expands and Henry Hub prices recover from their 2024 lows."
"Natural gas prices spent much of 2024 near multi-year lows, touching roughly $1.20 per MMBtu in November 2024. In early 2026, a January cold snap sent spot prices to nearly $31 per MMBtu on January 23."
