What Texas Pacific Land does

Owns vast legacy land and mineral/royalty interests in the Permian Basin, earning royalties and water revenue.

Collects a cut of oil and gas pumped from its land without drilling or paying for wells, so royalties rise with production and prices, while water sales and easement fees come from operators' drilling and pipeline activity. It began in 1888 as a trust for creditors of a Texas railway and became a corporation in 2021.
