Producing basins demand speed. The title pipeline wasn't built for it.

01 — DOTOs with a drilling deadline

Drilling title opinions can't wait on a courthouse runner.

When the rig is on the pad, you can't be bottlenecked by someone three counties away pulling leases from 1947. Every day of delay is a day of standing rig cost the operator will remember at renewal.

02 — Sixty years of curative

Producing fields accumulate decades of unreleased liens.

Probate chains, mineral fragmentation, old partial releases, affidavits of heirship filed in the wrong county. Your senior examiners bill hours on cleanup that should have been flagged on day one.

03 — Division orders tied to chain

A missing 1965 conveyance is a royalty claim in 2030.

DOTO accuracy flows from chain-of-title accuracy. One overlooked assignment in a 60-year mineral chain and you've got an underpayment suit waiting five years out, with your firm on the hook.

04 — Multi-state operators

Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana — all in one project.

Each state has its own mineral statute, recording conventions, and community property rules. Your examiners shouldn't have to context-switch across jurisdictions on top of the research itself.

05 — Fixed-fee DOTO bleed

One messy section can eat the margin on ten clean ones.

You quote flat. Then you hit a section with 80 years of handwritten deeds and a contested probate, and suddenly a $3,500 opinion is taking 40 hours. Our automation handles the volume work so the hard ones are the only ones that bleed.

06 — Lease expirations snuck up

You needed the runsheet three weeks ago.

Leases with 90-day rental deadlines, continuous drilling obligations, and pooling amendments don't pause while you wait for a runner. Automated retrieval keeps the lease calendar ahead of the legal calendar.

Drafts in your format. Your examiners review and sign.

We don't replace the attorney or the licensed examiner. We take the retrieval, data entry, and formatting off their plate so they can focus on the title opinion itself.

Curative & lien tracking

Every defect flagged, every release tracked to closure.
