In a move reflecting the growing intersection of energy land rights and technology infrastructure, Texas Capital Securities reaffirmed its Buy rating on Texas Pacific Land (TPL) with a $440.00 price target. The reaffirmation follows a strategic agreement where TPL will provide land and water resources to support Chevron’s power generation facility for a Texas-based data center. This deal positions TPL as a critical infrastructure provider for Chevron's "Project Kilby," tapping into the surging demand for data center development in West Texas.
This partnership emerges as integrated energy giants pivot toward AI-driven infrastructure support, with Chevron (CVX) shares closing at $173.63 as of June 18, 2026, per market data. For sector context, peers such as Exxon Mobil (XOM) were trading at $139.79, while Shell (SHEL) and BP (BP) stood at $78.81 and $39.10 respectively at the June 18 close. The collaboration highlights a strategic trend in the Permian Basin where traditional landholders are diversifying revenue streams through high-tech utility support.
