Forward guidance

Viper Energy initiated production guidance for Q1 2024 and the full year 2024, anticipating Q1 to be the weakest quarter due to the timing of large pads, but expecting significant growth throughout the year with Q4 2024 expected to be at or above the high-end of the guidance range.

Tailwinds

  • Initiating average daily production guidance for Q1 2024 of 25,000 to 25,500 bo/d (44,750 to 45,500 boe/d).
  • Initiating full year 2024 average daily production guidance of 25,500 to 27,500 bo/d (45,500 to 49,000 boe/d).
  • Strong activity levels are seen across the acreage position.
  • Significant production growth is expected to occur throughout the year.
  • Q4 2024 is expected to be at, or above, the high-end of the guidance range.

Headwinds

  • Q1 2024 is expected to be the weakest quarter of the year.
  • The weakness in Q1 is primarily a result of the timing of large pads.
  • Production levels on properties in which Viper has mineral and royalty interests are subject to developmental activity by other operators.
  • Federal and state legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to hydraulic fracturing could impact production.
  • Physical and transition risks relating to climate change could impact production.
