Optima’s leasing team acquires the rights your program needs on terms that hold up, and treats mineral owners with the professionalism that protects your reputation in the county. We have handled every form of oil and gas leasing and acquisition, from grassroots campaigns to complex trades.
What we do
Grassroots leasing campaigns. Build the owner list from title, locate and contact owners, then negotiate and close leases tract by tract within your approved terms.
Owner locating and outreach. Find heirs, estates and hard-to-reach owners, and keep a clear record of every contact.
Lease negotiation and redlines. Guidance on market bonus and royalty, redlines of complex lease forms, and negotiation of depth, Pugh, continuous-development and surface provisions.
Farm-ins, term assignments and deep-rights leasing. Negotiate and document the agreement that fits the opportunity.
Leasehold purchases and acreage trades. Negotiate the deal and redline the Purchase and Sale Agreement and assignments.
Mineral, royalty and surface acquisitions. Identify sellers, negotiate price and terms, and coordinate title and closing.
Lease processing. Our accountants and lease analysts check and process each lease, build Lease Purchase Reports and lease packets, and store the documents digitally in ShareFile.
Lease obligation, maintenance and Pugh reports. Track expirations, payments and acreage held by production at specific depths or formations.
