Diamondback Energy focuses on acquiring, developing, exploring, and exploiting oil and natural gas reserves, particularly in the Permian Basin of West Texas. The company primarily targets the Spraberry and Wolfcamp formations in the Midland Basin, as well as the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring formations in the Delaware Basin. To support its operations, Diamondback Energy also manages midstream infrastructure, including systems for gathering crude oil and natural gas, through its subsidiary, Rattler Midstream Operating LLC. This allows the company to efficiently extract resources and control the logistics of transporting its products. Unlike many competitors, Diamondback Energy integrates both upstream (exploration and production) and midstream (transportation and logistics) operations, which helps streamline its processes. The company's goal is to maximize the value of its oil and gas reserves while ensuring efficient operations and reliable service to its customers.
