Matador Resources Company

Matador Resources Company is an independent American energy firm focused on the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas. Its primary operations are concentrated in key unconventional shale plays within the United States, particularly the oil-rich Wolfcamp and Bone Spring formations in the Delaware Basin, which covers parts of New Mexico and West Texas. The company operates through two main segments: 'exploration and production', which is its core business of finding and extracting resources, and 'midstream'. The midstream arm supports its primary operations by providing essential services like natural gas processing, water disposal, and transportation for both its own use and for third parties. This integrated model allows Matador to manage more of the production lifecycle. Investors may find it an interesting example of a focused US-based energy producer, but should remember that its performance is linked to volatile energy prices.
