Company Overview
History and Background
Matador Resources Company was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas. It is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, production, and acquisition of oil and natural gas resources, primarily in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford shale.
Core Business Areas

Leadership and Structure
The company is led by Joseph Wm. Foran as Chairman and CEO. The organizational structure includes various departments overseeing exploration, production, finance, and operations.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Crude Oil: Crude oil production constitutes a significant portion of Matador's revenue. Market share is difficult to pinpoint precisely due to the fragmented nature of the oil market, but Matador is a substantial player in the Permian Basin. Competitors include larger integrated oil companies and other independent producers like Pioneer Natural Resources and EOG Resources. Revenue from oil sales is typically the largest component of total revenue.
- Natural Gas: Natural gas production is another key offering. Similar to crude oil, market share is hard to define precisely, but they operate in key regions. Competitors include large national providers like EQT Corporation and Chesapeake Energy. Revenue from gas production contributes significantly to overall revenue.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The oil and gas industry is cyclical and heavily influenced by global supply and demand, geopolitical events, and technological advancements. Increasing pressure from environmental regulations and the shift towards renewable energy sources are also key factors.
Positioning
Matador is a mid-sized independent E&P company with a strong focus on the Permian Basin. Its competitive advantages include a concentrated asset base, efficient operations, and a track record of successful drilling and development.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The global oil and gas market is valued in the trillions of dollars. Matador's TAM is a fraction of this, focused on the Permian Basin and the broader US oil and gas market. The company is positioned to capture further market share through strategic acquisitions and continued operational efficiency.
