Mineral title research requires care and dedication. These qualities define our team and we pride ourselves in working until the job is finished. Mindful of costs, our landmen work in teams; sharing information to minimize duplicity and maximizing productivity. We can assess critical information quickly and accurately and provide that information in a format that is easy to interpret and understand.
We prepare abstracts & runsheets; drilling & production histories; due diligence; interested parties lists; lease negotiations; mineral acquisitions and receiverships; pooling/utilization agreements & declarations; title examination, and title curative.
Our Landmen and attorneys are expert in producing Drilling & Division Order Title Opinions with runsheets and abstracts. We have many knowledgeable landmen who produce accurate and thorough runsheets, bound with complete copies of any instruments used. They are fully trained in courthouse research, including conveyances, civil proceedings, liens and probates; we can “cure” title as we prepare a runsheet – reducing the amount of curative needed to get your project off the ground.
Our curative team performs title work – especially drill site titles – reliably. We identify any problems and offer solid solutions. We work hand-in-hand with title attorneys to ensure any areas in question are addressed quickly and securely.
Due diligence plays a major role in oil & gas when dealing with acquisitions & divestitures and is extremely important in making the right decisions. But difficulties can arise from a combination and workloads and deadlines. We select only relevant information in a form that is simple to understand. We validate working & net revenue interests, examine operating agreements, farmouts/farmins, assignments, letter agreements, and leases to determine the worth involved in a sale. Accuracy in title examination is vital, with a single oversight impacting time and money. At Tight-Rock, we use a "checks & balance system" and continually explore new methods to ensure the accuracy of our titles.
