CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
Viper Energy is initiating Q2 2025 production guidance and maintaining full year 2025 production guidance following the Drop Down transaction, while monitoring market volatility and operator activity levels.
Positive Outlook
- Expected leverage to remain below 1.0x even in a sustained $50 per barrel WTI environment due to conservative financing.
- Strength of the balance sheet allows for opportunistic share repurchases.
- Production expected to remain durable despite potential for sustained weakness in commodity prices and reduced activity levels.
- Diamondback continues to focus development on wells where Viper owns high royalty interests, enhancing consolidated capital efficiency.
- Approximately 45% of current production is operated by well-capitalized third parties in the best parts of the Permian Basin.
Challenges Ahead
- Guidance could be subject to change given recent market volatility and potential review of operating plans by Diamondback and other operators.
- Expected timing of line-of-sight wells is based on permitting and completion schedules, which does not ensure they will be turned to production.
- Sustained weakness in commodity prices could impact future financial performance.
- Reduced activity levels by operators could impact future production volumes.
- The ongoing war in Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war could impact global energy markets and geopolitical stability.
