Energy pack for Landmen
Diligence federal leases, split-estate flags, and offset operators in one section lookup.
Federal-land landmen run lease diligence on BLM MLRS, then jump to a separate viewer for the offset-operator map, then BLM-NEPA Register for siting overlays — three tools, three resolvers, every section. The Energy pack consolidates these into one parcel report.
How the workflow changes.
- Pull lease status from BLM MLRS for each section
- Cross-reference offset operators in a separate state regulator viewer
- Look up surface-vs-subsurface ownership manually for split-estate flags
- Confirm sage-grouse siting constraints in a fourth tool
- BLM federal leases card shows active, pending, and expired leases with holder + commodity
- ONRR county royalty card breaks out federal mineral royalty by commodity for the section's county
- Offset operators card lists distinct operators within a configurable buffer
- Split-estate card flags federal-subsurface / private-surface in one boolean
- Sage-Grouse card returns BLM HMA tier intersection on the map

Coverage states most relevant to Landmen
Common questions from Landmen.
Can I see ONRR royalty data for a section?
Yes — the ONRR county royalty card in the Energy tab shows federal mineral royalty for the county the section sits in, broken out by commodity (oil, gas, NGL, etc.) over the last 10 years. Per-lease royalty is FOIA-gated and not published by ONRR, so the county aggregate is the most granular public figure available.
Does the Energy pack cover BLM lease serial lookups?
Yes. The BLM federal leases card returns every BLM-administered lease serial that intersects (or sits within a configurable buffer of) the section. Each row includes holder, commodity, status (active / pending / suspended / expired), effective date, and expiration date — the diligence fields landmen actually file.
Can I diligence a Texas RRC well with the same parcel report?
Yes. Open any TXSS abstract (e.g. A-123 Reeves County) as a parcel report and the Energy tab resolves federal-land overlays from the abstract centroid automatically — the same cards as a PLSS section query.
Does the split-estate flag work outside of CadNSDI states?
Yes — but with reduced precision in states where the state cadastre is incomplete. The flag uses BLM subsurface-rights polygons (national) + state surface CadNSDI where available, defaulting to the more conservative answer when one side is missing.
