About Brigham Exploration

Brigham Exploration is a leading oil and gas acquisition and management company focused exclusively on non-operated working interests in the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico. Since 2017, we have built a substantial and diversified asset base across the Midland and Delaware Basins, establishing ourselves as a disciplined, data-driven acquirer of high-quality non-operated assets.

Founded by Bud Brigham and a team of experienced energy professionals, Brigham Exploration operates as a privately funded platform, allowing us to evaluate opportunities efficiently and execute transactions decisively.

Our portfolio includes non-operated working interests in approximately 1,000 gross producing wells operated by leading Permian Basin operators. We leverage:

  • A deep inventory of well, production, and operator performance data

  • Integrated geologic and engineering analysis

  • Proprietary subsurface and operational insights

  • Prior experience as Permian Basin operators

This foundation provides a distinct competitive advantage in sourcing, underwriting, and managing non-operated investments.

Brigham Exploration remains committed to expanding its footprint as a premier private non-operated oil and gas company in the Permian Basin.
