Capabilities across the full ownership picture.

Federal leases carry a documentary history that never reaches the county clerk. We examine the lease file itself — assignments, segregations, suspensions, terminations, and reinstatements — and reconcile it against the record title and operating rights of record.

• BLM and State Land Office lease review
• Federal lease file analysis
• Record title and ownership history
• Segregation and assignment tracing
• Lease status and expiration verification
• Communitization and unit review

New Mexico State Land Office and Texas General Land Office tracts follow their own rules for assignment, term, and continuous development. We verify who holds what, under which lease, and whether the obligations supporting it have been met.

• NMSLO and Texas GLO lease review
• State lease title research
• Ownership verification and assignment chains
• Term, extension, and holding status
• Relinquishment Act tract analysis
• Cross-state coverage beyond NM and TX

Fee mineral title is built one instrument at a time. We run the chain from sovereignty or an agreed base document forward, examining every conveyance, reservation, and probate that moves an interest, and we document the defects that need curing.

• Fee mineral ownership determination
• Source deed and reservation review
• Full chain of title construction
• Heirship and probate research
• Curative requirement identification
• Net mineral acre and interest calculation

On federal acreage, record title and operating rights can sit with different parties at different depths. We separate the two, trace each chain independently, and quantify the burdens riding on the working interest.

• Operating rights ownership determination
• Record title versus operating rights split
• ORRI burden evaluation and stacking
• Operating rights chain analysis
• Depth-limited operating rights review
• Net revenue interest confirmation

A tract can be one ownership at surface and another below a named formation. Where a horizontal target crosses a severance, the interest you think you own may stop mid-lateral. We find those lines and state exactly where they fall.

• Depth severance identification
• Formation-level ownership analysis
• Depth-limited rights and reservations
• Vertical and horizontal target review
• Stratigraphic versus measured-depth conveyances
• Severance exhibits and depth schedules

Acquisition and divestiture work runs on a clock. We build the title record behind the package, flag what threatens value or timing, and give your team a defensible basis for pricing, retention, and closing conditions.

• Acquisition and divestiture support
• Runsheets and title abstracts
• Title risk assessment and defect schedules
• Curative review and tracking
• Data room population and review
• Post-closing curative follow-through

Reporting is where the work becomes usable. Every conclusion is tied to the instrument that supports it, with volume and page, so counsel can verify the path rather than re-run it.

• Reports formatted for title opinion work
• Full source citation to recorded instruments
• Defect and curative requirement schedules
• Ownership summaries and interest tables
• Court-ready documentation
• Delivery in your preferred format

Title work produces data worth keeping. We structure ownership into databases and exhibits your team can query, map, and maintain — so the next project starts from what you already know.

• Custom ownership databases
• Tract and interest exhibits
• Mapping and plat support
• Data cleanup and normalization
• Ongoing data management
• Integration with existing land systems
