Project Management

The days of formulating a lease at the courthouse and title-plant  are long gone.  Our database-linked GIS, lease creation software enables us to print 500+ leases a day using accurate legal information with notarization and legal description formats appropriate to the particular region. Our landmen do their best work in the field, contacting property owners  rather than doing tedious on-site courthouse work that  can limit an agent’s productivity.  You will not find  another company with production numbers rivaling those of Petrocasa Energy.  Our numbers come with accurate back-up information that  can be easily compared  and aren’t lacking for corroborating documentation. Our leases are professional and written in such a way that a lay person can work with them. The final lease packages we deliver to our clients are second to none.

Our leasing departments are  proactive, not reactive. Our biggest asset is our ability to properly educate our potential Lessor’s.  We have held hundreds of community meetings, Question-and-Answer sessions, and lease-signing-parties in order to become more intimately involved in our project areas.  We have the opportunity to answer questions and concerns before they are raised.  These sessions make it easier on our leasing department,  as well as, the  for the companies we represent. Landowner concerns  can be allayed before they can take root.

The Pangaea mapping crew is an integral part of the leasing department.  Our clients can readily see what we have leased and what other competitors have leased around us at any time.  We are able to provide updates on a minute’s notice of what tracts remain  and what tracts are  considered problem areas.

Our Title Department employs superior research techniques and provides an unrivaled final work product.  Our Title Agents specialize in the determination of legal mineral/royalty owners and the identification of curative items.  We accomplish this task by utilizing a broad array of research tools, which include, but are not limited to, the following: 

• Curative
  • Affidavits
  • Ratifications
  • Stipulations
  • Amendment of Restrictive Covenants in Subdivisions
  • Subordination Agreements/Non-Disturbance Agreements/Consents of Lien-hold

Experience/Education

Petrocasa employs several in-house attorneys to serve you, in addition to the years of experience our Title Agents possess in the Title industry. Our background knowledge of Business, Family, Property and Oil & Gas law provides us with the ability  to think fast and analytically when new, difficult issues arise.  With law degrees from several respected legal institutes throughout the country, including Seattle University, University of Tulsa, Texas Wesleyan University, Southern Methodist University, and University of Arkansas, we possess the requisite knowledge and experience needed to ensure that the quality and in-depth nature of our Title work is unsurpassed in the industry.

• With vast experience in the Urban (Inner City, Neighborhoods & Roof Tops) and Rural permitting, we can go anywhere to permit a job to completion.
• Dialogue with shoot designers regarding things such as recording parameters and planned receiver/source point separation distances can keep permitting costs to a minimum and heavily congested areas can be delicately approached if not avoided.
• Our GIS department can easily assist with mapping needs of and project updates for the client, surveyors, and recording crews in all phases of the seismograph and its preparation.  Integrated mapping processes, such as merging pre-plot information with culture datasets, can save time, money, and prevent mineral/surface trespass.
• Many of our crew has worked on both 2D and 3D shoots that  have utilized both vibroseis sources and dynamite charges.

Mapping

Having handled projects with hundreds to thousands of easements, Petrocasa has developed a wealth of expertise in right-of-way issues.  Our projects range from small sites with one easement to long corridors with hundreds of property owners.   With an in-depth knowledge of applicable federal, state and local requirements, we routinely negotiate effective resolutions benefiting all parties.  In addition, our ROW experts conduct title searches, negotiate real estate transactions and provide legal descriptions for projects that involve utility and highway routes.
