About Matador Resources Co
Matador Resources Co (NYSE: MTDR) is a United States-based independent energy company focused on the exploration, development, production and acquisition of oil and natural gas assets. Founded in July 2003 with investments from friends and family, the company has built its business around long-life, unconventional resource plays. Its corporate headquarters are in Dallas, Texas, at One Lincoln Centre, 5400 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500.
Matador’s operating model is organized around two reportable segments: exploration and production, and midstream. On the upstream side, the company is primarily concentrated in the oil- and liquids-rich portion of the Wolfcamp and Bone Spring plays in the Delaware Basin, spanning southeast New Mexico and west Texas. It also maintains operations in the Haynesville shale and Cotton Valley plays in northwest Louisiana. These assets give Matador exposure to both oil-weighted and natural-gas-weighted opportunities, while keeping the portfolio geographically focused in core U.S. shale basins.

The midstream segment is strategically important. Matador owns and operates infrastructure that supports its upstream development and provides third-party services, including natural gas processing, oil transportation, gathering of oil, natural gas and produced water, and produced-water disposal. This integration can improve flow assurance, reduce bottlenecks and enhance margins, while also creating an additional earnings stream. The company highlights more than 900 miles of pipelines, saltwater disposal wells and gas-processing capacity across its system, with much of that infrastructure tied to the Delaware Basin.
From a market-positioning perspective, Matador is a mid-cap independent E&P company that differentiates itself through operational integration, a disciplined balance-sheet approach and a sizable inventory of drilling locations. Management has repeatedly emphasized long-term value creation, measured growth and capital returns. The company trades on the NYSE in the United States, which gives investors a liquid public-market vehicle for exposure to U.S. shale and energy infrastructure.
Recent developments have been supportive of the investment case. In February 2026, Matador reported another record year for 2025 and reiterated strategic priorities for 2026, including capital efficiency, profitability and balance-sheet strength. In April 2025, it announced a $400 million share repurchase program. During 2025, Matador also increased its dividend policy and highlighted record production and free cash flow, while continuing to expand and optimize its midstream footprint. For French-speaking investors, MTDR represents a focused U.S. energy name with upstream growth, midstream integration and an active capital-return framework.
