The Non-Op Title Challenge

Non-operated means you don't
control the data β€” but you own the risk

🎯

Operator-dependent title information

As a non-op, you rely on operators for division orders, title opinions, and runsheets. But their title work serves their interests β€” not necessarily yours. Missed fractional interests, stale division orders, and unverified heirship chains create hidden exposure.

⚑

Acquisition velocity demands instant title clarity

The Great Western deal closed 7,000+ net acres in months. When BEXP evaluates the next package, how quickly can you verify mineral chain-of-title across hundreds of tracts?

πŸ”

County-by-county research across the Permian

BEXP's footprint spans Eddy, Lea, Martin, Midland, and adjacent counties across the Delaware and Midland Basins. Each jurisdiction has different recording systems. No unified search. No cross-county intelligence.

What non-ops can't see

Without independent title verification, non-operators are exposed to:

Stale division orders
Operator division orders may not reflect probate events, mineral conveyances, or heirship splits since the last DOI update.
Unclaimed royalties
When operators can't find mineral owners, royalties go to the state. BEXP's revenue may be sitting in Texas and NM unclaimed property.
Missed acquisition targets
Fractional mineral owners who don't realize they own interests = acquisition targets at below-market prices. But you have to find them first.
The Solution

TitleMind gives non-ops
operator-grade title intelligence

Independent, AI-powered mineral title verification β€” purpose-built for acquirers who need to move fast and see what operators don't show you.

πŸ”—

Independent Chain Verification

Don't trust the seller's title opinion. TitleMind builds chain-of-title independently from county clerk records β€” 140+ years of deed history, mineral reservations, and heirship events.

πŸ“Š

Division Order Audit

Cross-reference operator division orders against actual deed chain. Flag discrepancies, missing heirs, fractional interest miscalculations, and outdated ownership assumptions.

🎯

Acquisition Target ID

Identify fractional mineral owners in BEXP's operating areas β€” heirs who don't know they own interests, UCR holders with unclaimed royalties, willing sellers below market.

BEXP Workflow Integration

TitleMind plugs into
every stage of BEXP's deal cycle

STAGE 1 β€” DEAL SOURCING

Find non-op packages before they hit the market

TitleMind monitors county clerk filings for mineral conveyances, lease expirations, and probate events in BEXP's target areas. Flag emerging opportunities before brokers list them.

STAGE 2 β€” BID SUPPORT

Pre-LOI title intelligence in 48 hours

Before BEXP bids on a package, TitleMind delivers: deed chain verification, RRC well status overlay, UCR leads, and title defect flags. Price your bid with title risk quantified.

STAGE 3 β€” DUE DILIGENCE

Parallel chain-of-title across the package

AI reads hundreds of deeds simultaneously. Mineral runsheets generated in hours. Flag reservation clauses, severed minerals, and unreleased liens that sellers didn't disclose.

STAGE 4 β€” PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Ongoing title monitoring across 79+ net wells

Division order audit. UCR recovery. Lease expiration alerts. New permit tracking. Operator change monitoring. One dashboard for your entire non-op portfolio.

Why this matters for non-ops specifically

INFORMATION ASYMMETRY

Operators have title departments. Non-ops don't. TitleMind closes the information gap β€” you get operator-grade title intelligence without the overhead.

SPEED = ALPHA

In competitive non-op markets, the buyer with faster title verification wins. 48-hour reconnaissance vs. 6-week abstractor timelines.

HIDDEN VALUE

Every non-op package contains mineral interests the seller overlooked. UCR claims, fractional heirs, stale division orders β€” TitleMind finds the value others miss.

Proof of Concept

What TitleMind would have found
in the Great Western package

BEXP closed 7,000+ net acres from Great Western Drilling across 6 Permian counties. Here's what our pipeline surfaces on assets like these.

$490K+

Oxy-Lineage UCR in NM

We've already mapped 10,503 unclaimed mineral records tied to the Oxy operator chain (Plains Marketing, OXY USA, Anadarko, Kerr-McGee) in New Mexico alone. Great Western's Eddy/Lea acreage overlaps this data directly.

37,107

Mineral UCR Records (NM)

TitleMind acquired NM's entire unclaimed property database via IPRA β€” 7,727 unique owners, 677 holder entities. Cross-referencing against Great Western well operators reveals who's owed money.

594

Active Oxy Wells (NM)

EMNRD cross-reference: 619 in Lea, 236 in Eddy. 94 plugged-not-released wells = stale lease candidates. Every one of these is a potential non-op acquisition target for BEXP.

The play: TitleMind identifies mineral owners with unclaimed royalties in BEXP's operating areas β†’ BEXP approaches them for non-op interest purchases at below-market rates β†’ consolidate fractional interests β†’ increase net revenue interest per well.

Key assumptions

Based on BEXP's ~15,500 BOE/d from 79 net wells across 7,000+ net acres in the Delaware and Midland Basins.

Mineral acquisition opportunity assumes identifying 20-50 fractional interest holders per year who are willing sellers at below-market pricing due to lack of awareness.

UCR recovery based on NM IPRA data showing $490K in Oxy-lineage unclaimed minerals, extrapolated to operators across BEXP's wells.
