Scenarios
Bull Case
West Texas site for first data center plant co-locates with gas supply. 4 GW buildout creates recurring infrastructure revenue structurally different from oil-price upstream.
Bear Case
FID on first plant not taken. Reduced 2026 capex guidance signals financial conservatism that could delay energy transition pivot.
Key Factors to Watch
- ●4 GW data center power pipeline — all pre-FID as of March 2026
- ●Internal AI drilling optimization delivering 50% cost reduction
- ●$3B cost centralization running concurrently — execution risk
