History
The company began operations in December 2007 with the acquisition of 4,174 net acres in the Permian Basin.[1]
In October 2012, the company became a public company via an initial public offering, issuing 12,500,000 shares of common stock at a price of $17.50 per share.[4][5]
In March 2017, the company acquired assets from Brigham Resources for $2.55 billion.[6][7]
In October 2018, the company acquired the assets of Ajax Resources for $1.25 billion.[8][9]
In November 2018, the company acquired Energen.[10]
In February 2021, the company acquired leasehold interests and assets from Guidon Resources for $375 million in cash and 10.68 million shares.[11][12]
In March 2021, the company acquired QEP Resources.[12][13]
A 2023 Bloomberg news story identified the company, as well as Permian Resources, as major contributors to the increase of flaring gas in the Permian oil field.[14]
In February 2024, it was reported Diamondback Energy and Endeavor Energy Resources were in final discussions toward a merger that would create an oil-and-gas giant worth more than $50 billion.[15]
Antitrust lawsuit
In January 2024, a class action lawsuit was filed accusing Diamondback, along with seven other US oil and gas producers, of an illegal price-fixing scheme to constrain production of shale oil, allegedly leading to drivers in the US paying more for gasoline than they would have in a competitive market.[16]
