"Diamondback Energy is adding both fracking crews and drilling rigs to West Texas, signaling a shift in the U.S. energy sector's approach to production amid high crude prices."
"The U.S. benchmark for oil was $105 per barrel on May 4, an 85% increase since the beginning of the year, prompting Diamondback to increase production."
"Diamondback's Permian oil production averaged 521,000 barrels per day in the first quarter, which was above even the high point of its guidance at 512,000 barrels."
"While our 'stoplight' analogy for the macro environment served its purpose over the last year, we are going to put it on the sidelines for now as the light has turned green."
