Vital Energy Inc (formerly Laredo Petroleum Inc)

A maker of oil and natural gas headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It drills and produces from acreage in the Permian Basin of West Texas. The company was founded as Laredo Petroleum in 2006 and renamed itself Vital Energy in 2023, keeping the ticker symbol. The name change came after years of operating under the Laredo brand, and the company kept its focus on the same Permian region it had long called home.
