Diversified Energy Company is an independent upstream and midstream energy producer that extracts and markets natural gas, oil, and natural gas liquids from properties across the United States, primarily in the Appalachian and Central regions. The company operates a vertically integrated business model combining production operations with owned midstream assets for gathering, processing, and transportation, allowing it to control costs and optimize margins across the value chain while focusing on conventional, mature producing wells with manageable decline rates. The company generates revenue from commodity sales of natural gas, oil, and NGLs, as well as from providing midstream services to third parties, and manages price volatility through extensive hedging programs while pursuing strategic acquisitions to grow production volumes and diversify its asset base.
