Kaes Van’t Hof, CEO, said Nov. 3, “Looking ahead to 2026, we continue to anticipate mid-single digit organic oil production growth from 2025Q4 estimated production, which implies double digit year over year growth in oil production per share relative to 2025.” Viper Energy said as of Sept. 30, 2025, its footprint of mineral and royalty interests was about 95,846 net royalty acres primarily in Permian Basin of west Texas.
