We strive to make energy available, sustainable and abundant to power people’s prosperity, security and dreams for the future.

The Vital Ethos
Our company was founded in 2006 as Laredo Petroleum. Since our earliest days we’ve focused on something much greater than producing hydrocarbons. Driven by constant innovation and a limitless mindset, we aim to set the example in our industry for what’s possible in providing more sustainable and abundant energy – the energy vital to helping people live better, healthier and more prosperously. This focus is why in 2023 we changed our name to Vital Energy. It’s only fitting. Bringing vitality to human lives has always been the soul of our company. And always will be.

Lifting One and All
Vital Energy is committed to making the world a better place. We do this by responsibly producing energy that’s vital to driving human prosperity and progress. We also do it by supporting our communities.

Our philosophy for philanthropy is to engage the areas that surround our operations. This is where we live and work. These are our friends and neighbors. It’s home. And it couldn’t be more natural for Vital Energy, and every person who works here, to reach out and lift up our communities to make them better.

Careers

There is no limit to what we can be and do. Here, we energize the potential in each employee to go beyond.

The Vital Way
An energy company like no other

Our culture is purpose and values-driven, and these core principles are integrated into each part of the Vital Energy employee experience. Our people strive every day to work in unafraid, unshakeable and unbiased ways, leading to a culture that is dedicated to continual improvement, innovation and inclusion.
