We are a nationwide database that actively maintains up-to-date contact, death and inheritance information for people who own mineral rights in the United States.

If you’re a mineral owner, state agencies are now required by law to maintain a current address (or any other type of contact information for mineral or royalty owners) in county land records.

Mineral deeds and other land records have an owner’s last address that is 10, 20, even 30 years old, or more. This means when oil companies do ownership research at county courthouses, they often end up with a lot of old, outdated information.

Tens of thousands of owners miss out on lease and royalty payments for locations where they own – simply because an oil company could not make contact with them prior to drilling. For many owners, this is a substantial loss of income.

To resolve this, we have created this free registry. If you’re an owner, take a minute now to register, so that you too have updates on file.
