In the company’s own words
Vitesse Energy, Inc. (NYSE: VTS) is an independent energy company focused on the acquisition, development, and production of non-operated oil and natural gas properties in the United States. The company primarily operates in the Williston Basin of North Dakota and Montana, with additional operations in the Central Rockies, including the Denver-Julesburg Basin and Powder River Basin.
As of December 31, 2025, Vitesse owns working interests in 6,402 gross productive wells (226.1 net) and holds royalty interests in an additional 1,301 productive wells. The company operates approximately 53,519 net acres, with 53,301 net acres in the Williston Basin targeting the Bakken and Three Forks formations. The company's asset base generated average daily production of 17,444 barrels of oil equivalent per day during 2025, with proved reserves of 47,800 million barrels of oil equivalent, of which 64 percent is oil and 71 percent is proved developed.
Vitesse's business model centers on acquiring minority working and mineral interests in oil and natural gas properties while partnering with premier operators to develop and produce resources. The company works with more than 30 experienced operators across its portfolio. Since inception in 2014 through December 31, 2025, Vitesse has completed approximately 175 discrete acquisitions totaling more than $785 million. A significant transaction occurred on March 7, 2025, when Vitesse acquired Lucero Energy Corp. in an all-stock transaction, expanding its Williston Basin operations.
The company's strategy emphasizes returning capital to stockholders through dividends while maintaining a strong balance sheet with conservative leverage. Vitesse distributes a meaningful portion of free cash flow to shareholders, having made cash distributions of $92.1 million during 2025. The company maintains a disciplined approach to capital allocation, focusing on acquisitions and development opportunities that meet desired rates of return while preserving financial flexibility.
Vitesse was spun off from Jefferies Financial Group Inc. on January 13, 2023, becoming an independent publicly traded company. The company's competitive strengths include its data-driven acquisition and development approach, experienced management team with deep industry relationships, and proactive asset management philosophy focused on unlocking incremental value from acquired properties.
