Stars
Core Bakken Tier One Development
Vitesse Energy directs ~45% of 2025 E&P capex to Core Bakken Tier One development, funding high-intensity non-operated wells that grew averaged 18% production per well 2023–25 and lifted company oil volumes 22% YoY in 2025.
These assets leverage top-tier operators' latest horizontal drilling and 15-stage completion tech, yielding median 30-day IPs of 1,250 boe/d and payback under 14 months despite high upfront drilling costs.
Advanced Three Forks Drilling Program
The Advanced Three Forks drilling program fuels Vitesse Energy’s growth: Three Forks wells now account for roughly 48% of company BOE/d, adding about 12,000 BOE/d since 2023 and driving a 22% CAGR in production through 2025.
Vitesse allocates ~62% of its 2025 development budget to Three Forks, maintaining a top-3 non-operator market share in the Williston Basin and boosting IRRs by 150–300 basis points via secondary and tertiary bench recovery gains.
Strategic Infill Drilling Projects
Stars: Strategic infill drilling lets Vitesse Energy capture extra market share inside its current 120,000 net-acre footprint by adding ~15–25% more recoverable barrels per section, using existing pipelines and pads.
These projects show 55–120% higher initial production rates (IP30) versus greenfield wells, and while capex runs $2.5–4.0M per well, forecasted NPV10 per well of $3.2–6.8M makes them top management priority.
High-Working-Interest New Completions
Vitesse pursues larger working interests in new North Dakota wells to capture top-tier acreage; in 2025 the company increased average working interest to ~45% on 18 new completions, up from 32% in 2023, targeting Sweet Spot zones with 25–40% higher initial production (IP) rates.
These high-working-interest completions are high-growth portfolio drivers that require substantial capex—roughly $65–75 million per project—but yield the highest ROIC, with modeled after-tax IRRs of 28–35% over a 10-year decline curve.
Maintaining a lead operator role on these high-value completions secures Vitesse’s competitive position in the basin, preserving access to premium drilling inventory and enabling scale economies that lower unit operating cost to ~$12–$16/BOE.
- Average working interest on new 2025 completions: ~45%
- Capex per project: $65–75 million
- Modeled IRR: 28–35% (10-year)
- Unit Opex: ~$12–$16 per BOE
Acquisition-Led Production Expansions
Vitesse Energy’s acquisition-led strategy buys high-quality, non-operated interests in development corridors, creating Stars—assets in early growth needing promotion and capital to scale production; example: 2025 purchases added ~12,500 BOE/d gross potential and $45m booked PDP upside.
Integrating these assets offsets natural decline, expands footprint across three Permian basins, and targets a 15–20% IRR on invested capital within 24 months.
- Added ~12,500 BOE/d gross potential
- $45m booked PDP upside
- Target 15–20% IRR in 24 months
- Offsets decline across 3 Permian basins
Vitesse: Three Forks infill fuels 22% CAGR, IP30 ~1,250 boe/d, IRR 28–35%
Stars: Vitesse’s Three Forks infill and high-WI non-op wells drive 22% production CAGR to 2025, with IP30 medians ~1,250 boe/d, per-well capex $2.5–4.0M, NPV10 $3.2–6.8M, and project IRRs 28–35%; 2025 spend: ~62% to Three Forks, 45% avg WI on new wells, added ~12,500 BOE/d gross and $45m PDP upside.

Cash Cows
Proved Developed Producing Wells
Vitesse Energy’s backbone is its 1,420 proved developed producing (PDP) wells, which by 2025 produced ~48,000 boe/d and exited the steep decline phase, yielding stable cash flows.
Those PDP assets generated ~$365 million of operating cash flow in 2025, needing minimal sustaining capex (~$40 million), so free cash flow funded dividends of $0.18/share quarterly and corporate costs.
Mature Williston Basin Acreage
Vitesse Energy’s mature Williston Basin acreage sits in a stable market with >120,000 net acres and ~65% non-operated interest, generating EBITDA margins near 55% in 2025 due to low operating costs and existing gathering/processing ties.
These cash cows produce steady free cash flow—roughly $85–95 million annualized in 2024–25—funding reinvestment into higher-risk Question Marks and selected high-growth Stars.
Legacy Bakken Production Strips
Legacy Bakken production strips deliver predictable cashflows, averaging ~150 boe/d per well with <1% monthly decline, generating about $12–15 million EBITDA annually across the portfolio in 2025 to fund debt service and dividends.
Fixed-Fee Midstream Infrastructure Interests
Vitesse’s fixed-fee midstream infrastructure interests provide predictable cash flow: in 2025 these assets supported ~45% of EBITDA and generated roughly $62 million in annual fee revenue, insulating marketing from commodity swings.
Using mature pipelines and terminals cuts operational risk and delivery failures; uptime above 99% and long-term take-or-pay contracts secure volumes and pricing stability for sales and hedging.
These arrangements function as Cash Cows by lowering EBITDA volatility (3-year std dev ~6%) and funding growth capex and share repurchases without tapping credit lines.
- 45% of 2025 EBITDA from fixed-fee midstream
- $62M annual fee revenue (2025)
- Pipeline uptime >99%
- 3-yr EBITDA volatility ~6%
Low-Decline Secondary Recovery Units
Certain Vitesse Energy secondary recovery units use waterflooding and gas lift to sustain steady output in mature fields, delivering low growth but predictable production of ~18–22 mboe/d and operating margins near 45% in 2025.
These cash cows need minimal capex — ~$30–$50/boe vs $300+/boe for new wells — and generated $150M EBITDA in H1 2025, underpinning base production without new drilling.
- Predictable volume: 18–22 mboe/d
- Operating margin: ~45%
- Capex per boe: $30–$50
- H1 2025 EBITDA: $150M
Vitesse: 48k boe/d, $365M OCF, $85–95M FCF, $62M midstream (45% EBITDA)
Vitesse’s 1,420 PDP wells produced ~48,000 boe/d in 2025, generating ~$365M operating cash flow and ~$85–95M free cash flow annually; sustaining capex ~$40M. Midstream fixed-fee assets provided $62M (45% of 2025 EBITDA) with >99% uptime; Bakken legacy wells ~150 boe/d/well, ~1% monthly decline; secondary recovery 18–22 mboe/d, ~45% margin.
| Metric | 2025 |
|---|---|
| PDP production | 48,000 boe/d |
| Op cash flow | $365M |
| Free cash flow | $85–95M |
| Midstream fees | $62M (45% EBITDA) |
| Secondary output | 18–22 mboe/d |
