Granite Ridge is a scaled, non-operated oil and gas exploration and production company. Granite Ridge owns a portfolio of wells and top-tier acreage across the Permian Basin and four other prolific unconventional basins across the United States. Rather than drill wells, Granite Ridge increases asset diversity and decreases overhead by investing in a smaller piece of a larger number of high-graded wells drilled by proven public and private operators.
