W&T OffshoreNYSE: WTI

Oil markets are under strong pressure ahead of the weekend.

Texas Pacific Land Corporation and LandBridge Company dominate my portfolio, but Viper Energy, Inc. offers a strong income play with a high-margin royalty model tied to the Permian Basin's growth. Viper's partnership with Diamondback Energy provides stability and operational visibility, enhancing its production potential and dividend appeal in a low-cost oil environment. Viper Energy's variable dividend policy, offering a potential yield of over 8% at $85 WTI, makes it a top choice for income-focused investors, though yield sensitivity is a concern.
