Title Research / AbstractingTitle Research/Abstracting
Title Research and Abstracting is the foundational process by which a landman establishes a complete and reliable chain of ownership for a specific tract of land, particularly as it relates to mineral rights. Working through public records at county courthouses, state land offices, and federal agencies, the landman compiles every recorded document that affects ownership — deeds, leases, mortgages, probate records, court judgments, and more — into a chronological package known as an abstract of title. This meticulous research ensures that oil and gas companies know exactly who holds mineral rights before executing leases, paying royalties, or committing to drilling operations. The abstract is then passed to an attorney, who renders a title opinion — a legal conclusion about ownership based on the landman’s compiled research. Together, these two steps form the backbone of sound oil and gas land management, protecting companies and mineral owners alike from costly disputes and defective titles.

- Warranty and quitclaim deeds, mineral deeds
- Oil and gas leases and assignments
- Mortgages, liens, and releases
