| # | Sheet | What's in it |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Overview | Section title, narrative summary, table of contents |
| 2 | Runsheet | Every recorded instrument touching the tract, chronological and normalized, with Abstractor's Notes on every row |
| 3 | Surface Tracts | Surface owners of record with acreage, situs, land use, market value |
| 4 | Mineral Tracts | Severed mineral estates, each linked to the deed that created the severance |
| 5 | Mineral Ownership | Resolved current owners: fee mineral / NPRI / ORRI / leasehold |
| 6 | Wells & Permits | Railroad Commission data joined to the tract; HBP status with reasoning |
| 7 | Skip Trace | Name, phone, address, age, relatives for every identified owner |
| 8 | Tract Notes | Senior abstractor's plain-English memo: chain health, lease status, recommended actions |
| 9 | Document Library | Every source PDF with deliberate filename nomenclature; downloadable as a single ZIP |
Two moats
Raw clerk indices are a mess. The same person appears under six spellings. "WD" vs "Warranty Deed" vs "WARR DEED". Legals as free-text strings. Operators inconsistent with RRC P-5.
Our entity resolution engine resolves every variant to a canonical ID across the entire county. Names, operators, legal descriptions, instrument types, all normalized. Every collapse is audited internally and defensible on request.
RRC data is published in 4 to 5 separate datasets that nobody stitches to abstracts at scale. We do.
Per-abstract row tells you well count, operator, status, spud date, first production, last production month, current production tier, lease ID, and hbp_inferred with a reasoning string. The single column that answers "is this acreage open or held?"
Three ways to engage

Turnaround
The counties we source are pre-vetted before you ever ask. When you bring us a tract, our standing index is already in shape. Your five-day clock is the abstractor working your specific tract on top of records that are already normalized and chained. How it works →
Custom jobs that need specialty language work (litigation-grade chain construction, expert-witness research, curative drafting) are scoped and quoted separately on a day-rate basis. Or narrow the scope to a single GLO survey with an abstract runsheet. Custom Abstracting →
