DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Texas Pacific Land Corporation (NYSE: TPL) (“TPL”) today announced an agreement with Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) ( “Chevron”) to provide land and brackish water resources for Chevron’s recently announced development known as Project Kilby, involving a large-scale power generation facility Chevron is developing to support a customer data center in Reeves County, Texas.

As part of the agreement, TPL contributed surface acreage in exchange for cash consideration and the exclusive right to source aquifer-derived water for the power generation facility and other associated aspects of the project.

“This advancement of giga-watt scale power generation and data centers developed by the industry’s leading technology, energy, and industrial companies validates West Texas as a premier location for compute infrastructure,” said Ty Glover, CEO of TPL. “As the world’s largest supplier of conventional energy and a leading source of renewable energy, the Permian Basin combines critical resources with skilled talent and a supportive regulatory environment. We believe these virtues position the region to become a major hub for compute services, and TPL is well positioned to support that growth through our leading surface footprint, industry relationships, and access to energy and water resources.”

Chevron has emphasized that water stewardship and community engagement are central considerations as the project advances. TPL intends to supply brackish groundwater, helping reduce demand for shared freshwater resources and reinforcing its ongoing commitment to responsible water development in the Permian Basin. TPL also continues to advance solutions for reuse of desalinated produced water from oil and gas operations.

“This project demonstrates how large‑scale energy infrastructure can be developed responsibly in West Texas to meet the increasing demands for power and technology,” said Daniel Droog, Vice President, Power Solutions of Chevron. “By securing access to land and reliable sources for non‑potable brackish water supply, engaging openly with the community, and working closely with trusted long-term value chain partners such as TPL we aim to support economic growth while respecting the importance of water stewardship in West Texas.”

Key Terms

brackish water technical

A mix of fresh and seawater with salt levels higher than freshwater but lower than ocean water, roughly like a lightly salted soup. It matters to investors because its presence affects the cost, technology and regulatory requirements for water supply, desalination, agriculture, aquaculture and coastal development projects; projects dealing with brackish water often need specialized treatment or equipment, which can change profit margins and risk.

brackish groundwater technical

Water found underground that is saltier than freshwater but not as salty as seawater, typically sitting between a freshwater lens and ocean water. Think of it as a diluted ocean — usable but often needing treatment — and it matters to investors because it affects costs and permits for projects that rely on water (real estate, agriculture, mining, desalination, and utilities), can influence operating expenses, regulatory risk, and the value of land or infrastructure.

produced water technical

Produced water is the salty, oily wastewater that comes up from underground alongside oil and gas when wells are drilled and operated; it contains dissolved salts, leftover hydrocarbons and treatment chemicals. For investors, produced water matters because handling, treating, storing and disposing of it creates ongoing operating costs, regulatory obligations and environmental risk—similar to how a factory’s wastewater can drive cleanup bills or fines—while opportunities to reuse or recover resources can offset some costs.

saltwater disposal technical

Saltwater disposal is the process of collecting the salty, often chemically contaminated water that comes up during oil and gas production and permanently sending it deep underground into licensed formations using special disposal wells. Investors care because this handling creates ongoing operating costs, regulatory permits and environmental risks—like a factory’s wastewater system—any of which can affect a project’s profitability, legal exposure and timetable.
