Stay ahead in the oil and gas industry with a strategic approach to land management. From leasing and title curative to mapping software, successful operations depend on efficient, data-driven decisions.
With increasing scrutiny and competition for prime acreage, having the right land strategies in place is crucial for maximizing asset value and minimizing risks.
UNDERSTANDING OIL & GAS LAND MANAGEMENT
Oil and gas land services encompass the acquisition, research, development, and oversight of land assets critical for oil and gas production. Whether securing mineral rights, managing lease agreements, or effective land services ensures operational efficiency.
SURFACE & MINERAL RIGHTS OWNERSHIP
Land ownership in the oil and gas industry is complex, involving both surface rights and mineral rights. Our team of experts can help your business secure the proper rights to kick off and manage your projects including:
● Surface rights grant ownership of the land itself but not necessarily the resources beneath it.
● Mineral rights allow entities to extract and profit from underground resources like oil and gas.
TITLE CURATIVE: ENSURING CLEAR OWNERSHIP
Before drilling can begin, companies must confirm clear ownership, which PLM can help secure through due diligence processes such as:
● Title Research & Abstracting – Reviewing historical records to verify ownership.
● Heirship & Curative – Updating non-documented family heirship to confirm ownership
● Title Defect Resolution / Curative – Curing title, satisfying title defects, and coordinating with relevant parties.
GIS MAPPING & LAND DATA VISUALIZATION
