TPL reported record quarterly revenue and FCF, driven by higher oil prices and strong royalty volumes, and highlighted its growing role in powering data centers via land, water, and potentially desalinated water sales. Management's tone was strongly bullish on the back of a sustained oil price spike and an 11% sequential increase in normalized line-of-sight well inventory, indicating accelerating future activity. Record Q1 revenue of $237M and FCF of $136M on higher oil prices and strong completion activity by OXY, BP, DVN, and XOM.

Signed an agreement to sell land for $43M over 20 years, with a separate deal to supply water for the same gas power/data center development, marking the first such deal.
Management discussed data center and power generation opportunities, noting that virtually every major hyperscaler and AI lab are evaluating large-scale plans in Texas, and urgency to lock up power and compute continues to rise. They also mentioned a land and water agreement for a gas power generation project, which is not BOLT related, and that desalinated produced water could be part of the equa
Management expresses a strongly bullish forward outlook, driven by elevated oil prices and the expectation that increased drilling activity will boost TPL's already high-margin royalty and water businesses.
Management provided minimal capex details, but mentioned the Phase 2b produced water desalination facility is nearly complete, with inlet water barrels expected in coming weeks. They also noted that data center projects represent tens of billions of dollars of capital and that final investment decisions will take time.
Management expressed optimism about record revenue, upside from elevated oil prices, and accelerating commercial activities in power/data centers, while acknowledging some uncertainty in the macro environment.
“Although oil prices at these current levels would generally stimulate a more robust producer response, there's still a lot of industry uncertainty around the duration of this oil supply shock.”
“During the quarter, we entered into an agreement to sell a small section of land for $43 million, which is structured into annual payments over a 20-year period.”
“On a net normalized basis, after factoring in longer lateral lengths, our line of sight inventory is up 11% sequentially.”
“We call this research development at scale. You know, we knew the industry had to move from pilot phasing to, you know, something that we would call commercial sizing at the smallest scale.”
OXY is driving completion activity on TPL's lands, which directly translates into royalty revenue for TPL.
“The continued strong performance of our royalties position was primarily driven by strong completion activity in the Delaware Basin by Occidental, BP, and Devon”
Thanks, Ty. Consolidated revenues during the first quarter of 2026 were approximately $237 million. This represents a quarterly all-time high as well as a 12% sequential increase and a 21% increase over last year's first quarter. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $181 million, which was up 2% sequentially and 7% over the last year. Free cash flow was $136 million, which was up 15% sequentially and up 8% over last year. The continued strong performance of our royalties position was primarily driven by strong completion activity in the Delaware Basin by Occidental, BP, and Devon and Loving and Northern Reeds Counties, and in the Midland Basin by Exxon and Martin County. With the high volatility and uncertainty related to global oil prices, I would like to provide some color regarding our commodity price sensitivities. As Ty mentioned earlier, TPL remains fully unhedged. Using our royalty production volumes for fiscal year 2025 and as an illustrative guide, roughly 5 million barrels of annual oil production means that every $10 per barrel increase in oil realizations would equate to approximately $50 million. Our oil price realization last year averaged $65 per barrel. For natural gas …
Exxon's drilling in the Midland Basin is a key contributor to TPL's royalty revenues.
