Granite Ridge Resources(NYSE) GRNT

Granite Ridge Resources, Inc. manages oil and gas investments. It helps partners gain energy exposure without drilling their own wells. This avoids the heavy costs of operating physical machinery.

Where Is the Energy Produced?

• Oil Sales: Crude oil revenue generated from properties in six major U.S. basins; totaled $139.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026.
• Natural Gas: Fuel resources produced alongside oil in unconventional formations; brought in $9.6 million in sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
• Non-Operated Assets: Ownership stakes in drilling projects where third-party partners manage all daily field work and maintenance.
• Operated Partnerships: Joint investment structures that provide energy asset exposure similar to private equity fund models.

Expanding the Well Portfolio

• Completed an issuance of $350.0 million in 8.875% senior unsecured notes in November 2025 to increase liquidity.
• Increased the net producing well count to 249.92 by June 30, 2026, up from 227.42 a year earlier.
