 Exhibit 10.18 

MASTER DRILLING AGREEMENT 

THIS MASTER DRILLING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into to be effective as of the 1st day of January 2013, by and
between DIAMONDBACK E&P LLC (“Operator”) and BISON DRILLING AND FIELD SERVICES LLC (“Contractor”). 

RECITALS: 
 A.
Contractor is the owner of certain drilling rigs located in the Permian Basin (referred to as the “Rigs”); and 
 B. Subject to
the limitations provided in paragraph 4 below, Operator desires to use the Rigs in connection with Contractor’s exploration for oil and gas in the Permian Basin and as provided herein, and Contractor desires to provide Rigs for such purposes.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, covenants and conditions herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Operator and Contractor hereby agree as follows: 
 1. Form of Drilling Agreement. The
terms and conditions pursuant to which each of the Rigs shall be used and operated shall be as set forth in the Drilling Bid Proposal and Daywork Drilling Contract (i) attached hereto as Exhibit “A” for a vertical well and
(ii) attached hereto as Exhibit “B” for a horizontal well (in either event, the “Drilling Contract”). A separate Drilling Contract shall be deemed to apply to each well drilled under this Agreement. 

2. Term. This Agreement may be terminated at the option of either party by giving the other party written notice to that effect, which
termination shall become effective thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of such written notice; however, neither party hereto shall, by the termination of this Agreement, be relieved of its respective obligations arising from or incident
to a Drilling Contract then in effect hereunder and not yet fully performed at or prior to the time the termination of this Agreement becomes effective. 

3. Purchase of Services. This Agreement and the applicable Drilling Contract shall control and govern any and all use of the Rigs by
Contractor for Operator (the “Drilling Services”). Drilling Services will be as requested by Operator to Contractor and will be defined by separate orders (either verbal or written) from Operator to Contractor (each an “Order”).
This Agreement and the applicable Drilling Contract shall be deemed to be incorporated in full in every Order effective upon the giving of such Order if verbal or the receipt of such Order by Contractor if written. Operator shall endeavor to provide
written confirmation of any oral Orders within ten (10) working days after same are given, but the failure to do so shall not invalidate the Order or the obligations of the parties arising hereunder by reason of such Order. 

4. Obligation to Request/Accept Work. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph 4, Operator shall be obligated to order from
Contractor Drilling Services required by Operator within the Permian Basin, and Contractor shall be obligated to provide such Drilling Services to Operator; provided, the requirement of the preceding sentence shall apply only to the extent of two
Rigs for vertical wells; provided further, that Operator may require from time-to-time, in its sole discretion, that one of the Rigs be for horizontal wells. The provision of Drilling 







 
Services in addition to the foregoing limitation is voluntary with both Operator and Contractor. For avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not obligate Operator to issue any Order to Contractor
for Drilling Services and it does not obligate Contractor to accept an Order from Operator for Drilling Services for a Rig if two Rigs are then obligated to perform Drilling Services hereunder and such Drilling Services have not been completed.
Further, the parties shall be relieved of the obligation as to the use of a Rig during the period of time when total loss, destruction or breakdown causes the Rig to be unavailable for commencement of operations under a Drilling Contract. 

5. Notices. Except as provided otherwise in paragraph 3 above, all notices or other communications hereunder (and the term
“notices” as used in this paragraph includes communications) shall be in writing and may be effected by (i) personal delivery, (ii) registered or certified mail, postage prepaid with return receipt requested, (iii) sent and
delivered by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) by email with written confirmation promptly thereafter in accordance with clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) or by return email. Mailed notices shall be addressed to the
parties at the addresses appearing below, but each party may change its address by written notice to the other party in accordance with this Agreement. Notices delivered personally shall be deemed communicated as of actual receipt; mailed notices
shall be deemed communicated upon receipt, refusal or as of the first attempted date of delivery if unclaimed; and email notices shall be deemed communicated as of the date of actual receipt; provided, emails not received between the hours of 8:30
a.m. and 5:00 p.m. local time on a date which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or federal or state holiday (business day), shall be deemed received at 8:30 a.m. on the next business day.

deemed to be an original instrument. All such counterparts together shall constitute for all purposes one agreement.

 Directional or uncontrolled deviated hole
will be deemed to exist when deviation exceeds 6 degrees or when the change of angle exceeds 3 degrees per one hundred feet. 
 Drill pipe shall be
considered in use not only when in actual use but also while it is being picked up or laid down. When drill pipe is standing in the derrick, it shall not be considered in use, provided, however, that if Contractor furnishes special strings of drill
pipe, drill collars, and handling tools as provided for in Exhibit “A”, the same shall be considered in use at all times when on location or until released by Operator. In no event shall fractions of an hour be considered in computing the

 (e) If Operator requires Contractor to increase or decrease the number of Contractor’s
personnel; 
 (f) Contractor’s cost of spare parts and supplies with the understanding that such spare parts and supplies constitute
     percent of the operating rate and that the parties shall use the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Oil Field and Gas Field Drilling Machinery Producer Price Index (Series ID WPU119102) to determine to what extent a price
variance has occurred in said spare parts and supplies; 
 (g) If there is any change in legislation or regulations in the area in which
Contractor is working or other unforeseen, unusual event that alters Contractor’s financial burden.
