Matador Resources Co. capped a banner year with robust production levels and revenue, citing a rebounding economy, steady demand, strong commodity prices and advancing technology – all tailwinds that propelled the independent into 2022.

For all of 2021, Matador reported 31.5 million boe of production – up 19% from 2020 – a company high that boosted its top and bottom lines to records.

“Last year, we consider the best year we’ve ever had” in 10 years as a public company, Joseph Foran, Matador’s CEO, said during the fourth  quarter earnings call Wednesday.
