Business profile

Updated

Diamondback Energy is an independent oil and natural gas company headquartered in Midland. Founded in 2007, it is led by Chief Executive Officer Kaes Van’t Hof. Its business is acquiring and developing oil and gas resources, primarily in the Permian Basin of West Texas.

Diamondback drills horizontal wells into underground rock formations and uses hydraulic fracturing to help oil and gas flow. Horizontal drilling allows a well to follow a productive layer of rock; fracturing involves injecting water, sand and chemicals under pressure to create pathways through that rock. The company sells oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, such as the liquids separated from gas during processing.
