| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization Viper Energy, Inc. is a publicly traded Delaware corporation. Viper (as defined below) and its consolidated subsidiaries are focused on owning and acquiring mineral interests and royalty interests in oil and natural gas properties primarily in the Permian Basin. On August 19, 2025, upon completion of the Sitio Acquisition (as defined and discussed in Note 4—Acquisitions and Divestitures), VNOM Sub, Inc. (formerly known as Viper Energy Inc., “Former Viper”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Viper Energy, Inc. (formerly known as New Cobra Pubco, Inc., “New Viper”), as a result of a merger contemplated by the documents governing the Sitio Acquisition (such merger, the “Viper PubCo Merger”). Upon completion of the Viper PubCo Merger, each share of Former Viper’s Class A common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Viper PubCo Merger (other than certain excluded shares) was canceled and automatically converted into one share of New Viper Class A common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, and each share of Former Viper’s Class B common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Viper PubCo Merger was automatically canceled and converted into one share of New Viper’s Class B common stock, par value $0.000001 per share. On December 23, 2025, the Company completed an internal reorganization (the “Reorganization”), pursuant to which, among other things, each outstanding OpCo Unit of Viper Energy Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and Viper’s operating subsidiary (“Old OpCo”), was converted into an equivalent OpCo Unit issued by a newly-formed subsidiary of Viper, VNOM Holding Company LLC (“New OpCo”). References in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto to “Viper” refer to (A) New Viper following the Viper PubCo Merger, and (B) Former Viper prior to the Viper PubCo Merger. References to the “Company,” “our company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or like terms refer collectively to Viper and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to the “Operating Company” or “OpCo” refer to (A) New OpCo following the Reorganization, and (B) Old OpCo prior to the Reorganization. References to “OpCo Units” are to the units representing limited liability company interests in the Operating Company. As of June 30, 2026, Viper, through its subsidiaries, owned approximately 52.7% of the outstanding OpCo Units and was the managing member of New OpCo. The Company is a subsidiary of Diamondback. References to “Diamondback” refer collectively to it and its subsidiaries other than the Company. As neither Viper nor its subsidiaries have any employees, Diamondback provides personnel and general and administrative services to the Company, including the services of the executive officers and other employees, pursuant to a services and secondment agreement. As of June 30, 2026, Diamondback beneficially owned approximately 39.2% of the outstanding voting power of the Company’s Common Stock on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the outstanding TWR Class B Option (as defined and discussed in Note 7—Stockholders’ Equity). Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto were prepared in accordance with GAAP. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. The Company reports its operations in one reportable segment. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10–K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures. Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported total assets, total liabilities, stockholders’ equity, results of operations or cash flows.
