TPL acquired 10,000 acres in Shackleford and Jones County for ~$100M, a step-out beyond its legacy Permian footprint, to capitalize on the fastest growing data center region in the country.

“we acquired over 10,000 acres of land in Shackleford in Jones County, Texas for approximately $100 million. This region is amongst the fastest growing data center regions in the country”

A2

TPL's desalination facility (Phase 2B) is complete and commissioning, and they are exploring co-location with data centers; they have patented freeze desalination technology that can also produce ice/chilled water for chip cooling.

“Our freeze desalination process will generate large volumes of ice and chilled water, which then could potentially be used by data centers for chip cooling.”
Robert Crain
A3

Management is in advanced conversations on 25 gigawatts of projects and expects to announce at least one or more major definitive agreements in the near term.

“we're in advanced conversations with multiple hyperscalers, AI labs, and power generators on 25 gigawatts of projects right now. I would be disappointed if we don't announce at least one or more major definitive agreements in the near term.”
Ty Glover
A4

Produced water royalty volumes hit a record 4.9M barrels per day, and management expects the royalty per barrel to increase over time due to price escalators and a shift toward more valuable injection-based royalties.

“we've got price escalators built in our existing contracts, and I think poor space will become more valuable over time.”

Chevron is building a multi-gigawatt power plant on TPL land to serve a data center, validating the Permian as a data center hub and creating a long-term revenue stream for TPL (land lease, water sales, etc.).

“a previously announced land sale and water supply agreement was related to Project Kilby, which is a large-scale power generation facility Chevron is developing to support a customer data center in Reeves County, Texas.”
