Battalion Oil Corp. is a U.S.-based upstream oil and gas company focused on developing and producing crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids from its acreage in the Delaware Basin. The company’s operating model is centered on drilling, completing, and bringing wells online through a small operated rig program, while also managing the gathering and treating infrastructure needed for sour gas production. Its results are highly tied to commodity prices, well productivity, and the reliability and cost of gas processing and treating facilities. Battalion also uses derivative contracts to reduce some of the cash flow volatility created by oil and gas price swings.
