Chevron's Boeing Business Jet lands in Midland the week of Project Kilby power deal

Chevron's Boeing Business Jet, tail number N884GL, was tracked flying from Buffalo Grass Airport to Midland International Air and Space Port on June 25, a short 21-minute hop covering 150 miles. The aircraft reached 15,025 feet and a top speed of 405 knots before touching down at 21:43 UTC.

If Chevron leadership was aboard, the timing aligns with the company's recent announcement of Project Kilby, a 2.67-gigawatt natural-gas plant near Pecos that will power a Microsoft AI data center under a 20-year power purchase agreement [bloomberg.com](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-06-22/microsoft-chevron-sign-20-year-power-deal-for-texas-data-center). The deal, signed June 22 and reported by Morningstar, positions Chevron to deliver dedicated off-grid electricity to Microsoft by 2028, with a final investment decision expected by end of 2026 [morningstar.com](https://www.morningstar.com/news/business-wire/20260622017964/chevron-signs-20-year-power-agreement-with-microsoft-for-west-texas-data-center). The Permian Basin location offers abundant natural gas and existing infrastructure, making it a logical destination for executive visits as the project moves toward construction.

This flight follows a pattern of increased Chevron aircraft activity in West Texas. Over the past week, N884GL traveled multiple times between Houston-area airports and the Midland/Odessa region, including a trip on June 17 from Midland to Houston. The recurring visits suggest ongoing high-level engagement with the region's energy and digital infrastructure developments.
