Concho Resources, Inc. is an American company engaged in hydrocarbon exploration. It traces its roots to the Concho Equity Holdings Corp., founded in 2004. This company was incorporated and organised in Delaware with its operations focused in the Permian Basin, and headquartered in Texas. In 2006, Concho Equity Holdings Corp acquired assets from Chase Oil Corporation, thus forming Concho Resources, Inc.

Over the years, CXO has expanded its operations, which were earlier confined to the Permian Basin, to include the Delaware Basin as well as the Midland Basin. The company has continued to grow through several acquisitions. In 2008, it bought-off Henry Petroleum at a transaction of $584 million. Concho Resources acquired Marbob Energy Corporation’s assets under the Permian Basin for $1.65 billion in 2010. Subsequently, in 2012, it acquired the Three River Operating Company for a purchase price of $1 billion. 2016 saw another major merger when CXO acquired assets under the Midland Basin from Reliance Energy in a transaction valued at $1.625 billion. In October 2018, CXO purchased RSP Permian Inc. for $9.5 billion in stocks, which was the largest Permian deal in history.
