Contract Negotiation

• A lease is the most important document for a mineral owner in the entire mineral exploration and production process because it is the contract that determines drilling activity and revenue for the life of the well. 

• If specific needs and terms are not addressed in the lease, an individual or company could be at a disadvantage for as long as the well is in production.

• There are other contractual agreements that landowners enter into that can affect their property. 

• Our proactive management style with experience, research, and technology provides contract negotiation services that are tailored to meet the specific needs of the client.

Oil and Gas Accounting

• Oil and gas companies distribute revenue to royalty owners through the issuance of a division order prior to payment. 

• Division orders can be confusing, so we analyze and verify all division orders to ensure accurate payment for our clients. 

• Use state-of-the-art accounting and audit systems that verify interest decimals and conduct payor audits to ensure timely and accurate payment. 

• Provide specialized 1099 verification and summary reports that greatly simplify tax reporting and preparation.

Asset Evaluation

• Knowing what one owns is essential to managing property well. 

• Many times, property owners do not have a complete, updated, or accurate listing of mineral interest ownership.  

• Some mineral owners have a claim to mineral interests for which they are not being credited, and if these mineral interests are located in a producing unit, the results could be costly.
