We staff and manage land projects end to end — from the first run of records at the courthouse through the leasehold you defend ten years later. Working landmen, working systems, working with you.
Pre‑vetted title means ownership, chain‑of‑title, and curative issues are already screened across Anderson, Cherokee, Freestone, Houston, Leon, Madison, Robertson, and Trinity — so leasing and curative work start on day one, not after a 90‑day kickoff.
NechesLand is more than the principal-leasing brand on our home page. For oil and gas operators, royalty companies, and private equity sponsors we are a full-service land broker — staffing projects, managing them, and running the day-to-day business processes of a land department.
We provide business process outsourcing for the land function: scoped projects with our landmen, our systems, and our project managers, billed by the project or by the hour, with you on the deliverables and us on the execution. From a single early-title runsheet to multi-year leasehold administration of a producing AMI, the engagement scales to the work.
AAPL-aligned landmen, title attorneys, and analysts on call. Field, in-house, or hybrid.
Project managers who own the schedule, the budget, and the deliverable. You get one hand to high-five!
Land tech, document management, division orders, and audit trails — run on your systems or ours.
We run the entire land function as a service. Each card below opens a dedicated page detailing the scope, deliverables, and platforms we support in that service line.
Experienced landmen and project managers on call. In-house, field, or remote. Contract, W-2, or fully outsourced land-department operations under your standards and forms.
Field, in-house, and remote landman placement · Project management with weekly cadence and audit-ready reporting · Full BPO of the land function: filings, calendaring, and obligations · Surge capacity for acreage races and drilling deadlines
Mineral title from the deed records up. Runsheets, mineral and royalty ownership reports, drillsite and division order title opinion coordination, and the curative work that fixes what title raises.
Mineral Ownership Reports (MOR) & Take-Off Ownership Reports (TOR) · Drillsite Title Opinions (DSTO), Division Order Title Opinions (DOTO), supplementals · Affidavits of heirship, stipulations of interest, corrective deeds, releases · Heirship research, probate, and missing-heir tracing

Two related disciplines, one team. We draft and administer the contracts that hold a play together — and run the land-side workstream when those assets change hands.
AAPL Model Form JOAs (1989, 2015) — drafting, negotiation, and admin · Area of Mutual Interest (AMI), farmout, farmin, and participation agreements · Virtual data room build, lease-by-lease diligence, and defect schedules · Title quality scoring, pre-closing curative, and closing-day mechanics · Post-close integration: lease loading, system migration, owner notice
A land department runs on its systems. We configure, load, administer, and report on the major land tech platforms — plus GIS, document management, OCR, and BI on top.
iLandMan implementation, admin, data load, and reporting · Quorum Land, P2 Tobin Land, EnergyLink, OGsys, WolfePak · ArcGIS, MapInfo, QGIS — parcel, lease, and DOI mapping layers · SharePoint, NetDocs, OnBase — document repositories with OCR and indexing
From DOTO to division order to monthly check — the revenue side of the land function. Decimal interest calculation, owner setup, suspense management, owner relations, and the 1099 / escheatment workflows on top.
Decimal interest (DOI) calculation from DOTOs and DSTOs · Division order preparation, distribution, and execution tracking · Transfer orders, JIB setup, owner change-of-address, suspense · 1099 reporting, unclaimed property escheatment, owner-relations call handling
A leasehold is only as good as its calendar. Obligation calendaring, HBP audits, Pugh and depth severance analysis, continuous-drilling tracking, and the releases that clean up expired acreage.
Obligation calendaring with redundant alerts (90/60/30 day) · Shut-in royalty payments, continuous operations, force majeure tracking · Pugh clauses, depth severance, retained acreage analysis · HBP / HBPD verification, lease expiration audits, releases of record
The regulatory paperwork that keeps the operation legal. State and federal agency filings, permitting support, and ongoing compliance reporting across the producing states we cover.

The land function for the energy transition and the AI buildout. We work the same skill set — title, leasing, contracts, obligations — for solar, wind, battery storage, hyperscaler data center campuses, CCS pore-space leasing, water rights, and brine / lithium minerals.
Solar and wind site control, option agreements, and ground leases · Battery energy storage system (BESS) leasing and easements · Hyperscale data center campus site acquisition and gigawatt-class interconnection ROW · CCS / Class VI well pore-space leases, surface agreements, and unitization · Produced water, SWD agreements, brine and lithium mineral leases
Most engagements start with a phone call and a one-page scope. We size the work, propose a team and a rate (project, hourly, or retainer), and start within days, not weeks.
Fixed-scope work — an early-title runsheet, a leasing campaign, a system implementation — quoted as a deliverable.
Open-ended or surge work, billed against weekly time reports with full transparency.
Ongoing BPO of all or part of your land function — monthly retainer with a defined service catalog.
We sign confidentiality agreements before the first scope conversation, and we’re comfortable working under your standards, your forms, and your systems. If you’d rather use ours, that’s fine too.
Ten brokerage service lines — project staffing & BPO, title & curative, leasing, right-of-way, contracts & A&D, land tech, division orders, leasehold protection, regulatory, and renewables, CCS & data centers. One contract, one PM, one invoice.
Brokerage coverage across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Within East Texas we maintain pre-vetted mineral title across all 8 focus counties (Anderson, Cherokee, Freestone, Houston, Leon, Madison, Robertson, Trinity) — so leasing and curative work start on day one.
Ownership, chain-of-title, and curative issues are already screened across our 8 East Texas focus counties. When you bring us an AOI inside that footprint, we don’t start a 90-day kickoff — we start runsheets and lease-prep on day one.
Both. We staff and manage full project teams — landmen, title attorneys, GIS, contracts — or place individual specialists into your existing team. Project managers own the schedule, the budget, and the deliverable.
iLandMan, Quorum Land, and P2 Tobin Land. Data conversions, document management, lease records buildout, ownership updates, and reporting.
Yes. Solar, wind, BESS, Class VI carbon sequestration, and hyperscaler / data-center campus acquisition — including ERCOT/PUCT interconnection, fiber easements, cooling water, and Chapter 313/403 abatement work.
We run as a brokerage so you don’t carry the fixed overhead of a full land department, but our project managers work as if embedded — under your forms, your standards, and your systems when you prefer. We sign confidentiality agreements before scope conversations.
Counties, AMI, timeline, scope — whatever you have. We’ll come back with a team, a price, and a start date.
