BRG provides upstream land support across every phase of oil and gas operations, from mineral title examination through field execution and records management.
Whether you are evaluating an acquisition, preparing a drilling program, or resolving title defects before spud, our project management team handles gas, oil, coal, and mineral title work with accuracy and speed.
Discuss Your ProjectWhen work moves into the field, BRG's landmen are there. The Appalachian basin's ownership structures and multi-state ROW corridors are familiar territory. We operate on your timeline.
Discuss Your ProjectWe deliver precise drilling unit assembly and unit management alongside comprehensive field, access, and right-of-way support. Our team ensures accurate ownership alignment and efficient execution in complex operating environments, keeping your projects moving from planning through the field.
Discuss Your ProjectCertified title research is courthouse examination of oil, gas, coal, and mineral rights records to establish a clear chain of title. It traces ownership from the original patent or grant through every recorded instrument to confirm who holds rights today and identify any defects requiring curative work before drilling or leasing.
Right of way acquisition involves negotiating and documenting easements and access rights from surface landowners for pipelines, access roads, and production facilities. BRG's landmen handle corridor research, ownership identification, negotiation with mineral and surface owners, and full documentation of executed easement agreements.
Curative title work resolves defects identified during title examination: missing heirs, recording gaps, corrective instruments, affidavits, or corrective deeds. BRG handles both office-based curative and field curative, getting to the courthouse or to the landowner depending on what the defect requires.
Drilling unit assembly is the process of identifying every tract within a proposed unit, confirming current ownership, and verifying that the unit configuration complies with state spacing and pooling requirements. Errors at this stage flow downstream into incorrect division orders and delayed first production. BRG handles unit assembly with the same rigor we apply to title examination.
Yes. BRG works with surface owners to secure permits for geophysical operations across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Our landmen know the local requirements and landowner relationships that keep exploration programs on schedule and out of legal disputes.
Global genealogy is heir research and ownership tracing across generations and jurisdictions. When mineral ownership has passed through estates without proper documentation, genealogical research identifies legal heirs, establishes probate chains, and produces the documentation needed to establish clean, marketable mineral title.
