What We Do
Oil & Gas Title Search Overview
Oil and gas title search is a specialized form of title research. It often goes deeper than a general property title search because the work may involve mineral ownership, older deeds, lease records, easements, liens, encumbrances, and other recorded interests tied to the property.
Mineral Rights Research
Who may hold subsurface rights and how those rights have moved over time.
Lease History Review
Recorded leases and related records affecting the current or historical file.
Chain of Title Review
How ownership and related rights appear to have moved from party to party over time.
Deed & Public Records
Review of recorded deeds, transfers, and public property records tied to the matter.
Title Due Diligence
Support for due diligence, land review, lease review, and ownership checks.
Understanding the Work
What Is an Oil & Gas Title Search?
An oil and gas title search is a review of records tied to oil, gas, and mineral interests connected to a property. The work is used to study the record history and better understand who may hold rights, what may have been transferred, what may have been leased, and what recorded matters may affect the file.
Depending on the matter, this work may include review of:
- Mineral rights records
- Deed history
- Lease records
- Liens and encumbrances
- Easements or access-related matters
- Other recorded property interests
Oil and gas title examination helps show how rights may have moved over time and what the record appears to show today.
